Testimonials

Our team at Fox Motors greatly appreciated the professionalism and diligence exhibited by the Performance Brokerage Services Team on our recent acquisition of Kia North of Grand Rapids from Liechty Auto Group. This new dealership is an important addition to the Fox Motors portfolio, and we give credit to Performance for making it happen. From the moment the Performance team presented us with this opportunity, we knew we were in good and capable hands. Working with Paul Kechnie, Mark Shackelford and Mark Shackelford, Jr. was a pleasure. We look forward to working with their team again in the future.

Kunes Auto Group was proud to work with Performance Brokerage Services on the successful acquisitions of Jim Paul’s Valley GMC in Hastings, Minnesota, and Apple Valley Buick GMC—milestone transactions that mark our second dealership acquisitions in the state of Minnesota. From start to finish, Performance Brokerage Services demonstrated exceptional professionalism, strategic insight, and a deep understanding of the automotive retail landscape. Gregg Kunes and David Hayes, along with our entire leadership team, were consistently impressed by Performance Brokerage Services’ ability to guide complex transactions with clarity, precision, and integrity. Their thoughtful approach and steady execution ensured a smooth process for all parties involved and allowed us to move forward with confidence as we expanded our footprint into a new market. We especially valued the opportunity to work closely with Paul Kechnie and Matt Willis of Performance Brokerage Services, whose expertise, responsiveness, and commitment to collaboration made the entire experience both efficient and enjoyable. Their dedication to representing our interests while maintaining strong relationships with sellers exemplifies the best of what Performance Brokerage Services offers its clients. Kunes Auto and RV Group looks forward to many more successful buy-sell transactions with Performance Brokerage Services as we continue to grow and expand. We highly recommend Performance Brokerage Services to any dealer group seeking a trusted, knowledgeable partner in automotive acquisitions.

Jamie Farley of Performance Brokerage Services was outstanding to work with throughout this process. She was always available, quick to answer questions, and served as an excellent liaison between me and the seller. Jamie, Paul Kechnie, and the entire Performance Brokerage Services team handled every detail, large and small, with professionalism and care. Jamie’s Toyota expertise especially stood out, and her guidance through the OEM application and approval process made the journey to closing smooth and successful. I truly appreciated her dedication and support every step of the way.

This was our first time going through a buy-sell and we couldn’t have been more pleased with the experience. From our very first meeting, Jamie Farley of Performance Brokerage Services guided us through every step of the process, determining value, securing offers quickly, and keeping us informed the entire way. Her follow-up was impeccable, and she made what could have been an overwhelming process feel as simple as possible. Most importantly, Jamie and the Performance Brokerage Services team always listened to what was important to us and made sure those priorities were respected throughout the transaction. In the end, we were truly happy with the outcome and grateful for how quickly and smoothly everything came together.

I want to thank Performance Brokerage Services for all the hard work they put forth in the completion of our buy/sell with Duell’s Evansville Kia. Specifically, the efforts by Paul Kechnie and Mark Shackelford made the process smooth, transparent, and led to the successful transition between companies. As you know, there are many hurdles to overcome during a buy/sell. Manufacturer applications, asset purchase agreements, property inspections, as well as daily communication between parties are all intricate parts of a successful change of ownership. Paul and Mark provided regular updates, necessary access, and completed requests in a manner that kept the transaction private from frontline dealership employees. Handling sensitive information is vital in a buy/sell, and they did it successfully. Lou Fusz is poised for future growth, and we look forward to working together with Performance Brokerage Services on future transactions.

We have now done numerous transactions with Performance Brokerage. They continue to bring us offerings we like. We find them professional and trustworthy.
