When we decided to divest of our North Branch Chevrolet store, we reached out to Emily Bourne and Matt Willis at Performance Brokerage Services for assistance in finding a qualified buyer. From start to finish, they provided exceptional support in finding the right buyer, Tyler Kadlec. Their communication was always clear, consistent, and proactive, ensuring that the deal stayed on track and allowing us to meet our targeted closing date. We look forward to working with Matt, Emily, and the entire team at Performance Brokerage Services again in the future.

Their professionalism and expertise were evident from the start, ensuring a smooth and straightforward process. What truly stood out was their trustworthiness.

We are deeply grateful to Emily and Matt for their hard work and dedication throughout this journey. We wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone looking to buy or sell a dealership.
This is the third transaction I have closed with Paul Kechnie and Performance Brokerage Services, but the first I have done with Emily Bourne. Emily is a true professional and an absolute pleasure to work with. Her communication is great, and she helps move the deal along to the closing table. I look forward to many more transactions with Emily, Paul, and the entire Performance Brokerage team!
It was a pleasure working with Paul Kechnie and Emily Bourne at Performance Brokerage Services. From our initial conversations, I let them know what our group was looking to acquire in terms of brands and locations. They listened and found us our top brands in our target markets. Soon after we spoke, I received a call on four stores that were not listed for sale in which they had a long-term relationship with the seller. Less than six months later, we closed on two Honda stores and two Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram stores. I would recommend Performance Brokerage Services to anyone looking to buy or sell.
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.
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!
Emily Bourne of Performance Brokerage Services was wonderful. She is very professional, easy to work with, and made the transaction process seamless. Everything was very confidential, and until the final papers were signed, confidentiality was maintained. Emily and Performance Brokerage Services did an excellent job.
This was my third transaction with Performance Brokerage Services, and once again, Emily Bourne and the team delivered a seamless experience. I value the ability to work directly with the seller to negotiate deal details, and I appreciate that Performance Brokerage Services respects this preference by stepping back and facilitating the process without interference. Their professionalism and flexibility make them a pleasure to work with.
I enjoyed working with Paul Kechnie and Emily Bourne at Performance Brokerage Services. When we first met, we let them know our target market and brands. Shortly after meeting them, they presented us with an opportunity to acquire Champaign CDJR directly in our target market. We appreciate their help and look forward to working with them on future acquisitions.
From start to finish Paul Kechnie and Emily Bourne of Performance Brokerage Services were great! They listened and were engaged and helpful. A great experience!
