Sale of Dick Masheter Ford: A New Chapter Begins

Performance Brokerage Services, renowned as North America's leading dealership brokerage, has announced a significant transaction involving the historic Dick Masheter Ford dealership in Columbus, Ohio. The sale marks the transfer of ownership from Bob Masheter, who has overseen the dealership's operations for the past several decades, to Oleg Kislyansky of Drive Choice.

Established in 1967 by Richard “Dick” Masheter, a veteran of the U.S. Air Force, the dealership has a rich legacy in the automotive sector. Over the years, it became a beloved local institution, known for its commitment to quality service and customer satisfaction. Bob Masheter, Dick's son, joined the dealership in 1981 and eventually took charge of daily operations. Under his leadership, the business flourished, becoming a key player in the community.

Expressing gratitude for the formalities surrounding the sale, Bob Masheter stated, “Thank you, Mark Sr. and Mark Jr. of Performance Brokerage Services, for your assistance and support throughout the process. Your professionalism and diligence were invaluable.” His words reflect a profound appreciation for the collaborative spirit throughout the transaction.

Mark Shackelford Sr. remarked, “It was a pleasure to work with Bob Masheter. The integrity he displayed reflected in the loyalty of his employees upon announcing his retirement.” Post-sale, Bob Masheter looks forward to enjoying quality time with his wife, Christie, traveling and relishing the well-earned moments of relaxation.

Representing Drive Choice, Oleg Kislyansky expressed his enthusiasm: “Finding an opportunity through Performance Brokerage Services that aligned with my vision took some time, but I valued their reliability, diligence, and honesty throughout the process.” His comments emphasize the importance of trustworthy relationships in business transactions, especially when navigating the automotive dealership landscape.
