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.“
“Wallace Automotive is excited about our acquisition of Ford and VW in Kingsport. Opportunities to grow close to home don’t come often. Mike Sims, Pinnacle Mergers & Acquisition president, and the sellers, Sarah Nelms and her brother John King, were great to work with through the entire process and made the transition as easy as possible for all parties.”
“Mike was terrific to work with from the buyer side of the transaction. He was always available to answer my questions from start to finish of the buying process. Mike was instrumental in making the transaction smooth between the sellers and me. I highly recommend Mike and Pinnacle if you buy or sell your dealership.”
“We appreciated Pinnacle’s professionalism and expertise throughout the process and closing. Mike Sims and Wes Hamilton knew of our interest in growing our operations in the area, bringing us a compelling opportunity.”
“Having been contacted by most brokers in the business and having dealt with many, Pinnacle is the best I have dealt with. Mike Sims has become a friend in the process. I call him for his perspective on business in general. If we ever need help selling or buying dealerships, I will call Mike. I have not worked with another broker that streamlined the entire process and made the closing this seamless.”
“I’ve had three transactions with the Pinnacle team, and they are always direct, honest, and there to help you strategize on buys and sells in an ever-changing market!”
“I truly enjoyed working with Mike Sims and Wes Hamilton on this acquisition. I appreciated their candor, insight, and honesty in working through the transaction.”
“When I met Wes with Pinnacle Mergers and Acquisitions six years ago, I realized he cared more about me, my family, and my employees than just trying to put a deal together. We stayed in contact with me through the years and developed a close business relationship and friendship. When the time came for me to exit the industry and pursue the next chapter of my life, I knew I could trust Wes and Pinnacle to handle such an important and life-changing event for all involved. Wes brought me a buyer that best fit me, my family, and my employees. He guided me through each transaction step, ensuring a successful close. Whether you are ready to sell now or considering selling in the future, Wes and the Pinnacle Mergers and Acquisitions team are the best brokers in the business! I highly recommend them to anyone contemplating buying or selling a dealership.”
“Bill Scrivner, at Pinnacle Mergers and Acquisitions, is a rare gem in the buy-sell world. Bill has a gift. His ability to bring buyer and seller together, iron out difficult terms, and deliver BIG results are unmatched by his competitors.
I tried to do business with other brokers, before I met Bill. Bill is a winner, pure and simple. He didn’t waste my time, spend my money on non-sense, or sell me visions of unrealistic Blue Sky figures. He brought me the deal I wanted!”
“Mike Sims of Pinnacle Mergers and Acquisitions recently initiated, managed, and closed a buy/sell transaction for my family which proved to be a life changer. Following 33 years of ownership, I determined that in the best interest of my family the high line dealership group I built needed to be sold. His reputable experience, committed tenacity, high energy level, and unquestionable trustworthiness exceeded my expectations with results of not only a very profitable sale, but a friendship that will last far beyond the transaction. Mike Sims would be my only choice if needing to enter any automotive buy/sell activity. Sincerely, MRH”
“Bill Scrivner, at Pinnacle M&A, is without question the best automotive broker I’ve ever worked with. He makes what can be complicated, much easier. On the multiple deals I’ve done with him, he is involved in every step of the transaction and keeps things moving forward for both the buyer and the seller. I strongly recommend you use him, and I’m happy for anyone to call me if they would like to find out more about how my experiences with Bill have been.”

“Pinnacle, and their representative Wes Hamilton, have facilitated the sale of two dealerships over a three-year period. They found a qualified buyer at the outset. At every point, Wes was very responsive and professional. Never was there an instance of contention with me or the buyer. Wes stayed in touch throughout the interval between the first and second transaction. We highly recommend Pinnacle Mergers & Acquisitions whether you are buying or selling.”
“Bill Scrivner and his team at Pinnacle M&A get things done! We have done countless deals together in the 27 years we have known each other. He has helped Lithia sell dealerships AND buy dealerships. He keeps things simple and calm, making buyers and sellers comfortable accomplishing their goals. Selling a business that took a lifetime of hard work to build can be a difficult decision and process. Bill’s experience and involvement in all aspects of the deal make him highly effective in completing transactions.”
“My father and I have known and done business with Bill Scrivner since he was 23, so several decades ago. He is the same guy we met at 23; he has great character, is 100% honest and transparent, is hardworking and driven to achieve a win-win. Bill understands the value of repeat business and long-term relationships and has a rock-solid personal life that supports his business life. Bill can take a complex transaction and reduce it to simple terms, but make sure he hits the bullseye for his client.”
“Bill Scrivner, at Pinnacle M&A, is the very best at what he does. He is fearless in his advocacy for his client’s objectives. We have been doing deals together for over 25 years now, and I have complete confidence in Bill and always consider him a trusted advisor.”
“While you were engaged and retained by the seller on the latest two dealership acquisitions, you’ve displayed great service, knowledge, and most importantly, straight forward and honest communication. Dealing with Wes and Pinnacle has been a pleasure. You bring accurate information, display clear communication, and conduct business ethically and professionally. I look forward to doing the next deal with you and Pinnacle.”
