Brian Traugott

Our recent purchase of Carbone/ Lithia Nissan took a little coordinating that really couldn’t have been done without the help of Brian Traugott. If there were any obstacles, Brian made sure he handled them to the satisfaction of both parties. Thank you Brian, and we look forward to doing more business with you in the future! 

If you are looking to sell your store, or acquire one, Brian Traugott is your guy. He knows the industry and its nuances inside and out. More importantly, he took the time to get to know us and our dealerships like he was part of the family. Brian delivered on everything he promised and more; bringing several qualified and motivated buyers' offers to the table. With his expertise, he helped guide us from our first in-person sit down, through any hurdles, and to the closing table. We could not be happier that we chose to have Brian represent the sale of our stores.

I want to thank Dave Cantin and Brian Traugott from the Dave Cantin Group for their partnership with the Empire Automotive Group as we continue to grow our platform. Their industry expertise and buy/sell process were a huge asset in assisting the Empire Automotive Group in closing on such a tremendous acquisition. We couldn’t have gotten here without them. We look forward to working with the Dave Cantin Group on future growth opportunities as we continue to expand. We highly recommend Dave, Brian and their team to anyone considering a buy/sell.

We worked with Dave Cantin and Brian Traugott from the Dave Cantin Group on a legacy succession plan to sell our Toyota and Mazda Auto Mall. We could not be more appreciative of their assistance through this process. They worked daily with both us and the buyer throughout the hurdles that came up, but most importantly in respect and confidentiality through the unfortunate passing of Michael. Dave and Brian are the best in the business, and should be your only call when you are considering an acquisition or divestiture.

We appreciate the efforts of Stephen Jones and the entire Dave Cantin Group team in facilitating the acquisition of EUROCAR and Lotus Orange County. Their expertise and dedication were instrumental in navigating this complex transaction and achieving a successful outcome. We look forward to building on this momentum and continuing to grow our presence in the luxury and exotic automotive space.

I am thrilled to share my exceptional experience working with the Dave Cantin Group in the sale of my business, EuroCar. From the outset, their professionalism and expertise were evident. The DCG team demonstrated a profound understanding of the luxury automotive market, coupled with an unparalleled dedication to achieving the best possible outcome. Navigating the sale of EuroCar, a leading luxury and exotic car dealership, required not only strategic acumen but also a deep appreciation for the intricacies of our unique business. Dave Cantin Group excelled in both areas. They provided insightful guidance, crafted a tailored strategy, and executed with precision, ensuring a smooth and successful transaction. Their commitment to excellence was clear at every step, from valuing the business to negotiating the final deal. Their proactive approach and transparent communication instilled confidence throughout the process. Thanks to their efforts, EuroCar has transitioned seamlessly into capable hands, ready to continue its legacy of excellence. I highly recommend the Dave Cantin Group to anyone seeking exceptional advisory services for business transactions. Their expertise, integrity, and dedication are truly unmatched.
