Testimonials

Dan Argiro with Performance Brokerage Services, did an outstanding job with their presentation, Shaping Your Tomorrow: A Guide to Understanding and Maximizing the Value of Your Dealership, at our annual conference in St. Louis.
The audience appreciated the informative content inspired by Dan’s engaging and dynamic speaking style. Everyone benefited from real-life, valuable “takeaways” that they could implement into their dealerships right away. The feedback was positive, and the dealers were attentive throughout the presentation. The audience asked a lot of questions and were able to leave the presentation, stating that they had received tremendous value in return for their time in attending the meeting.
Our team at Karmak would undoubtedly recommend Dan Argiro to any organization looking for an engaging and informative session for their audience members.
We hired Dan Argiro of Performance Brokerage Services to represent us in the sale of our dealership group. Dan managed the sale process and guided us with his experience and his expertise. As an expert in the industry, we highly recommend Dan Argiro and Performance Brokerage Services to anyone considering a purchase or sale of a dealership.
I met Dan Argiro three years before my brother, Steve, and I hired him and Pat Albero at Performance Brokerage Services to represent our business. The process was a lot more complex than I had anticipated. Dan and his team, from day one, were always available for guidance and advice throughout the entire process until we had a signed contract with our buyer. Trust and confidentiality were the most important factors to my brother and me when it came time to sell our dealer group. The Performance Team excelled at both. I would recommend Dan, Pat, and Performance Brokerage Services to any dealer looking to buy or sell a dealership.
We were on the fence when it came to the decision to sell our dealer group or make a hard push to expand. We had heard about Performance Brokerage Services and some of the larger deals they had brokered in our industry. We reached out to Dan Argiro and Pat Albero to learn more about the process. We wanted to see if it made sense for us to use a broker instead of trying to sell the dealerships ourselves. As we got to know Dan and Pat, we decided to partner with Performance Brokerage to help us find the best buyer for our group. We continued to run our dealerships as if they were not for sale and maintained the day-to-day operations. Performance Brokerage took care of the rest. From the calls to the emails, to vetting buyers, they did it all. They were instrumental in helping us establish the right value for our group and finding the right buyer. We were adamant about strict confidentiality, and they exceeded our expectations. Their advice was sound, and they conducted themselves in a professional and ethical manner at every step of the transaction. We highly recommend Dan and Pat of Performance Brokerage Services if you want to buy or sell a dealership.
Our experience with Performance Brokerage Services on our acquisition of Kenworth of South Florida was excellent. Dan Argiro and Pat Albero provided an outstanding level of service and expertise, which we have come to expect from their talented team. Their attention to detail and commitment to the needs of the transaction were evident throughout the process. As a growing organization, we understand the importance of working with best-in-class firms that can assist us in achieving our goals. Performance Brokerage Services is undoubtedly this type of provider, and we were impressed by the quality of their work and the value they brought to the transaction. We highly recommend Performance Brokerage Services to any organization seeking a firm that can provide exceptional service and expertise. Dan and Pat’s professionalism, industry knowledge, and dedication to their clients make them valuable assets to any growth-focused business.
Pat Albero of Performance Brokerage Services reached out with an opportunity to expand our John Deere dealership business. From day one, Pat was fantastic to work with and very attentive. I certainly would not hesitate to do business with Performance Brokerage again in the future. I would highly recommend Pat Albero, Dan Argiro, and the team at Performance Brokerage.
Buying and selling a dealership is a complex process, and finding the right buyer, at the right price, is even more difficult. I reached out to Dan Argiro at Performance Brokerage Services when my brother, John, and I were considering selling our dealer group. I liked that Dan specialized in Commercial Truck Dealerships and wanted to learn more about the process. We eventually hired Dan and Performance, and they did not let us down. Dan always did what he said and came through in the end. He was always available and in constant communication. Dan helped guide us through the entire process; from collecting the best data to value our business, to meeting and negotiating with potential buyers, through the closing, and still continues to follow up weeks later. He lived up to his promise about bringing an honorable and trustworthy buyer to continue the Legacy of our dealer group. Along with your Attorney and CPA, Dan is the type of broker you want to have on your team if you are buying or selling a dealership. We certainly recommend Dan Argiro and Performance Brokerage Services. Thanks to Dan, I’m now enjoying great days with M & K!
