Testimonials

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 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.”

“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.”

“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.”
