Bill Scrivner, founder and CEO of Pinnacle Mergers and Acquisitions, began selling car dealerships just two weeks after his 23rd birthday. After playing college baseball for four years to fund his marketing degree, Bill married his college sweetheart, turned down an offer to play professional baseball, and dedicated himself to selling car dealerships. Thirty years later, Bill and his team at Pinnacle have completed over 850 transactions worth BILLIONS of dollars for their clients.
In the late 1990s, Bill assisted several publicly traded companies in beginning their dealership acquisitions, building a strong track record with top consolidators in the automotive industry. He is a trusted advisor because he tells clients the truth, not just what they want to hear or what will close the deal. Bill maintains confidentiality and helps clients execute their plans for success, however they define it.
Bill and his wife, Rae, married in 1993 and have four beautiful daughters. Bill spent eighteen years coaching his daughters’ soccer teams and continued supporting them, and the other girls who played for him, through their college soccer careers. One of Bill’s U19 teams was ranked number one in the state of Texas for over 12 months.
When you want to buy a dealership that is off the market, Pinnacle can make that happen. My long-term relationship with Bill Scrivner and Wes Hamilton was put to the test when I asked them two years ago to help me acquire the two Silverthorne dealerships. Pinnacle was instrumental in framing a deal that would work for me financially in a hot market like Silverthorne. I am looking forward to my next acquisition with the pros at Pinnacle!
“When William Piercey and I decided it was time to sell our last car dealership, the first person we called was Bill Scrivner with Pinnacle Mergers and Acquisitions. We knew Bill would get the job done, as he had successfully assisted us in selling five other dealerships to multiple buyers over a short period of time in 2021, all while maintaining the highest level of confidentiality. His knowledge of the marketplace regarding buyers and sellers allows him to quickly match parties that will have the highest likelihood of completing a transaction without wasting a lot of time. I especially appreciate his calm demeanor and direct approach to managing the transaction in what can sometimes be a complicated and emotional process. He does a good job of keeping both sides moving in the right direction toward a conclusion without letting them get in their own way, which can sometimes happen. I have the highest level of respect for Bill Scrivner’s abilities and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone who is interested in buying or selling a car dealership.“
