May 21 2024 - 12:00PM
Tim Lamb, President of the Tim Lamb Group, the largest auto
dealership sales, and acquisitions firm in North America, has
brokered the sale of two dealerships in Wooster, Ohio to Patrick
O’Brien of Firelands Auto Group. The sale which includes
Toyota of Wooster and Volkswagen of Wooster marks the fourth and
fifth acquisition Tim Lamb has handled for Patrick O’Brien and the
sixth and seventh dealerships that O’Brien adds to the Firelands
Auto Group portfolio. The dealerships now known as Firelands
Toyota of Wooster and Firelands Volkswagen of Wooster, are located
approximately 1.5 hours outside of Sandusky. Included in the sale
of the two dealerships, is an off-site body shop that will undergo
renovations and be converted to additional service stalls and
lifts. The three separate buildings include over 26,000 square feet
of facility space on three acres of land. Firelands Toyota of
Wooster is located at 1363 W. Old Lincoln Way and Firelands
Volkswagen of Wooster is located at 1423 W. Old Lincoln Way in
Wooster, Ohio. Tim
Lamb facilitated the original sale of Toyota of Wooster and
Volkswagen of Wooster to Dave Hill in 2011. Hill, who still owns a
used vehicle dealership in Wadsworth, Ohio, closed the transaction
with O’Brien and Firelands on April 30, 2024.
Firelands Auto Group currently owns five
additional dealerships and a Collision Center within 35 minutes of
Sandusky, Ohio. Tim Lamb also brokered the deal for Firelands Auto
Group for the purchase of Firelands Toyota of Sandusky and
Firelands Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in 2020, and most recently
Firelands Honda of Sandusky in 2023. When Patrick O’Brien purchased
his first Firelands Auto Group store in Norwalk, OH in 2017, he
hoped to grow a larger footprint of brands with multiple stores
throughout Northern Ohio. Now owning seven stores, Firelands Auto
Group offers customers a broad selection of new and used vehicles
at their Firelands Chevrolet Buick Dealership & Collision
Center in Norwalk, Firelands Chevrolet of Vermilion, Firelands
Toyota, Firelands Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, and Firelands Honda in
Sandusky, and now Firelands Toyota of Wooster and Firelands
Volkswagen of Wooster.
“We have worked with Tim Lamb on multiple
transactions, and we not only consider him a trusted advisor, but
an expert in his field,” stated Patrick O’Brien, Owner, Firelands
Auto Group.
“It’s been a pleasure working with Patrick to
help him expand the Firelands platform and locate opportunities
that fit his growth plans,” stated Tim Lamb, President of the Tim
Lamb Group. “Having worked with each of these gentlemen previously
allowed me to understand their wishes and in turn make the process
that much smoother for both parties.”
