-- Performance Brokerage Services, North America's highest volume dealership

"Emily
Bourne walked us through every aspect of the sale and made

are truly professionals, and I wouldn't hesitate to use them in the
future." - Jim Paul of Valley
Automotive Group
Valley Automotive Group has dealership locations in Minnesota including Valley Buick GMC of
Apple Valley, Valley Buick GMC of
Hastings, and Valley Chevrolet of
Hastings. Following the sale of
Valley Sales of Hutchinson,
Jim Paul of Valley Automotive Group
commented, "As car dealers, we are inclined to think we know all
about buying and selling. But when it came to selling one of our
dealerships, I learned in a hurry how little I knew and how
complicated it could be. Emily
Bourne walked us through every aspect of the sale and made
it quite stress free. The people of Performance Brokerage Services
are truly professionals, and I wouldn't hesitate to use them in the
future."
Over the last 5 years, Performance Brokerage Services has
advised on the sale of over 300 dealerships, making it the highest
volume dealership brokerage firm in North
America. Paul Kechnie, Senior
Partner, Emily Bourne, Partner, and
Matt Willis, Partner of the
Texas & Midwest Offices for
Performance Brokerage Services were the exclusive advisors for this
transaction.
Emily Bourne commented, "It was a
pleasure to work with Jim Paul and
Aaron Marthaler on Valley Sales of
Hutchinson. When I first spoke
with Jim, we discussed the goals for himself and his group, and how
Performance Brokerage Services may be able to help. We were able to
successfully re-align his group to make better geographic sense for
Jim and his team. We knew that Jim's staff would be in good hands
with Aaron Marthaler. We look
forward to working with both Jim and Aaron to assist in finding
opportunities that fit their growth strategies in the future."
Aaron Marthaler's ascent in the
automotive industry began humbly, starting out as a lube technician
in Glenwood, Minnesota.
Demonstrating remarkable ambition and skill, Marthaler swiftly
transitioned to vehicle sales, eventually securing ownership in his
first dealership. With the acquisition of Valley Sales of
Hutchinson, M Automotive currently
owns and operates 10 dealerships in Wisconsin and Minnesota. Marthaler shared, "Working with
Emily and Performance Brokerage Services has been a great asset to
the acquisition process. She stays connected with both the buyer
and seller to make sure everything goes as smoothly as possible.
Connecting me with sellers that align with my business model and
fit my portfolio are tall orders, and they continue to provide
opportunities to continue our growth. Thank you to Emily and the
team for your continued assistance. I look forward to our next
acquisition!"
Valley Sales of Hutchinson will
be renamed Olson Chevrolet of
Hutchinson and will remain at its
current location at 525 Highway 7 in Hutchinson, Minnesota.
