Working with Mike Lacey and the entire team at Dave Cantin Group was an exceptional experience. From the initial conversations to the final closing, Mike’s expertise and dedication were evident every step of the way. He not only understood the nuances of our business but also made sure that our interests were fully represented throughout the process. Selling Zeck Ford was a significant decision for me and my family, and I couldn’t have asked for a more professional and supportive partner than Mike Lacey. His commitment to ensuring a smooth and successful transaction was unmatched. I would highly recommend Mike and Dave Cantin Group to anyone considering the sale of their dealership.
ACQUISITION HIGHLIGHTS
Derek Zeck Former Owner, Zeck Ford
Purchasing Zeck Ford was a milestone in my career, and having Mike Lacey by my side made all the difference. Zeck Ford has a long and successful history in the Kansas City Metro Market and it was an exciting opportunity for me to continue that legacy. The purchase of this dealership was my 2nd Ford Dealership and my first experience as a Dealer Principal in a metro market. Mike was instrumental in the process by working with myself and the seller to overcome obstacles and issues that came up. While I thought I was familiar with what the potential challenges and roadblocks that come during a metro Buy/Sell transaction, there were a few that came up that I was unprepared for. Mike was there whenever he was needed to work through things and help the seller and myself to come up with solutions to issues that arose. Mike was not just a representative; he was a true partner in the process. I’m thrilled with the outcome and look forward to the future growth of Morris Smith Ford under our new leadership. I highly recommend Mike Lacey to anyone looking to buy a dealership.
