Performance Brokerage Services Facilitates Sale of Dutch Miller GMC in Kansas to Wilson Auto Family

Performance Brokerage Services, recognized as North America's premier dealership brokerage firm, has announced the successful sale of Dutch Miller GMC, located in El Dorado, Kansas. Previously owned by Chris Miller of Dutch Miller Auto Group, the dealership has now transitioned into the capable hands of Aaron Wilson from Wilson Auto Family.

The Dutch Miller Auto Group, founded by H.D. "Dutch" Miller in 1961, has established a remarkable reputation in the automotive sector. Today, the group is managed by Dutch's son, Matt Miller, and his grandsons, Chris and Sam Miller, boasting 12 dealerships across various states, including North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia. They proudly represent well-known automotive brands such as Ford, Chevrolet, Subaru, Chrysler, and many others, employing nearly 300 dedicated staff members.

Chris Miller, who served as President of Dutch Miller Auto Group, expressed gratitude towards Mark Shackelford, a partner at Performance Brokerage Services, for his exceptional service during the sale process. “Sometimes you’re buying, and sometimes you’re selling. Mark Shackelford is the man. I have trusted him for many years, and his world-class approach and care for his clients are commendable. He is honest and reliable,” Chris shared.

This transaction is part of a significant trend where Performance Brokerage Services has successfully facilitated the sale of close to 400 dealerships in the past five years, solidifying its status as the leading dealership brokerage firm in North America. Senior partners Paul Kechnie, Mark Shackelford, Sr., and Mark Shackelford, Jr. from their Texas Midwest office served as the exclusive sell-side advisors for this deal.

Mark Shackelford, Sr. commented on the successful sale, stating, “It has been a pleasure working with Chris Miller to sell Dutch Miller GMC. His dedication to the automotive industry and community service is unparalleled. I look forward to assisting him in future business endeavors.”
