The 50,500-square-foot space includes 34 bays, an interior showroom undergoing renovations to expand the service center and a nearby full service body shop
Columbus, Ohio—Marty Cancila Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram in Florissant, Mo., has been acquired by the Clement Auto Group after its owner and president, Raj Clement, heard the dealership’s previous owner, Tony Cancila, would be retiring. The dealership, now known as Clement Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Florissant, is located in the greater metro St. Louis area.
The 50,500-square-foot space includes 34 bays, a used car lot, as well as a full service body shop just up the road. The interior of the showroom is currently undergoing renovations with the intent of expanding the service center to increase the service capacity and for the growing needs of its nearby Clement pre-owned store. The entire team was retained from the previous owner, many of whom had been with the company for more than 20 years.
“I’ve known Tim Wild for many years and we have had discussions about potential deals for quite some time. I’m pleased that we were finally able to make it happen,” stated Owner and President of Clement Auto Group, Raj Clement.
Clement Auto Group currently owns four dealerships in Missouri and one in Illinois that offer Ford, Hyundai, Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram, and Mitsubishi vehicles, along with two large pre-owned stores in Missouri.
Clement Auto Group is also involved in the community, partnering with local governments, schools, and businesses to actively give back through donations, fundraising, and participation in community events. They are also dedicated to education, such as its Drive for Excellence initiatives that offer scholarships to high-achieving students in the surrounding counties.
“Selling to a local dealer is a very delicate situation. Raj was sensitive to the Cancila family concerns as he moved through the purchasing process,” stated Wild, Director of the Midwest and Plains Region for the Tim Lamb Group. “Working with Raj and being able to provide him with another store that will help to not only expand his business, but the community outreach efforts that his company is so deeply involved in, was personally rewarding.”
