I began as a technician in my teens and worked tirelessly to open my own shop. Together, my wife and I built our way up to becoming franchise dealers, eventually acquiring a second franchise. Now, thanks to Jason Stopnitzky and Performance Brokerage Services, I’m retiring at 62 and finally have the chance to spoil Amy after a lifetime of hard work. Reaching this point required countless sacrifices, so deciding to sell my dealership was a monumental and complex choice. Jason guided me every step of the way. As the owner of a single, family-owned Volkswagen and Mazda dealership in the small town of Chico in Northern California, I never felt overlooked. Jason made me feel like I was his only client, always finding time to answer questions or simply listen, day or night. Finding the right buyer was critical to us — someone who would honor our dedicated team and close-knit community. Jason made it happen, all while maintaining the utmost confidentiality. I’m beyond grateful to Jason Stopnitzky and his incredible team. Those green and white Performance Brokerage mailers that arrived month after month led me to one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I’m so glad I made the call and am proud to call Jason a lifelong friend.
