Performance Brokerage Services, North America’s highest volume dealership brokerage firm, is pleased to announce the sale of Phillips Hyundai of Bradley in Bourbonnais, Illinois from Phillips Auto Group to Patriot Motors.
Phillips Auto Group was founded in 1968 by Phillip Pascarella, who purchased a Chevrolet dealership in Frankfort, Illinois. In 1994, his son, Curtis Pascarella, took over the dealership, becoming President. The company expanded with the establishment of Phillips Chevrolet of Lansing in 2013, followed by the opening of Phillips Hyundai of Bradley in 2017. What began as a two-car showroom with twelve employees has expanded to multiple locations across Illinois, covering over 150,000 square feet of space, and employing more than 300 people.
Phillips Auto Group continues to own and operate Phillips Chevrolet locations in Bourbonnais, Frankfort, and Lansing, Illinois, and Phillips RV in Bourbonnais, Illinois.
Over the last 5 years, Performance Brokerage Services has advised on the sale of nearly 400 dealerships, making it the highest volume dealership brokerage firm in North America. Paul Kechnie, Senior Partner, and Matt Willis, Partner of the Texas & Midwest Offices for Performance Brokerage Services were the exclusive sell-side advisors for this transaction.
Patriot Motors is a family-owned business led by President Shawn Kohli. With nine locations across Illinois, Iowa, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, Patriot Motors represents Toyota, Ford, Honda, Hyundai, Lincoln, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram, and GMC.
As a proud partner of Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), Patriot Motors is deeply committed to making a positive impact on the community. In 2024, the dealership raised more than $25,000 in support of MADD’s mission to prevent drunk driving and save lives.
