Performance Brokerage Services, the leader in dealership buy-sell activity, announces the sale of Dale Willey Chevrolet GMC in Lawrence, Kansas, from Greg Maurer to Cable Dahmer Automotive Group.

IRVINE, Calif., Oct. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Performance Brokerage Services, North America’s highest volume dealership brokerage firm, is pleased to announce the sale of Dale Willey Chevrolet GMC in Lawrence, Kansas, from Greg Maurer to Cable Dahmer Automotive Group.

Founded in 1970, Dale Willey Automotive began as a Pontiac-Cadillac dealership in Lawrence, Kansas. Over the following decades, the business expanded its portfolio, adding GMC in 1990, Buick in 1996, and Chevrolet in 2010. With 15 years of automotive retail experience, Greg Maurer joined the organization in 1998 and became sole owner in 2014. In 2024, Maurer entrusted Performance Brokerage Services on the sale of Dale Willey Honda and Dale Willey Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram to Bob Sight Auto Group.

“I’ve known Paul Kechnie for many years,” Greg Maurer, Owner of Dale Willey Automotive Group, commented on his experience with Performance Brokerage Services. “He facilitated a sale for me a few years ago with two other dealerships. When the time came to retire, I knew he would be a good fit for the project. Paul and his team found the perfect buyer at terms that worked for me, and I’m very happy with the results!”

Over the last 5 years, Performance Brokerage Services has advised on the sale of nearly 450 dealerships, making it the highest volume dealership brokerage firm in North America. Paul Kechnie, Matt Willis, and Jamie Farley, the Texas & Midwest Partners of Performance Brokerage Services, were the exclusive sell-side advisors for this transaction.

Jamie Farley said, “It was a privilege for our team to represent Greg on the sale of his final dealership as he closes an important chapter in his career. Dale Willey Chevrolet has a long history in the Lawrence community, and Carlos and the Cable Dahmer team recognized both the strength of the opportunity and the importance of continuing that legacy. Paul Kechnie, Matt Willis, and I are grateful to Greg and Carlos for the trust they placed in our team throughout the transaction.”

Cable Dahmer Automotive Group was established in 1957 with the opening of Cable Chevrolet in Kansas City, Missouri. Since the 1988 merger of Cable Chevrolet and Dahmer Chevrolet, the group has grown to operate 10 dealerships across Missouri and Kansas, representing a range of franchises including Chevrolet, Buick, GMC, Cadillac, Kia, Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram. Under the leadership of Carlos Ledezma, the group has maintained a strong commitment to community involvement, earning the Truman Heartland Community Foundation’s 2017 Heartland Corporate Citizen of the Year award for its philanthropic contributions and volunteer efforts. In 2026, Carlos was named Ingram’s Executive of the Year, while Cable Dahmer Chevrolet and Buick GMC of Independence received the Carfax 2025 Top-Rated Lifetime Dealer recognition for their sustained customer ratings. Dale Willey Chevrolet GMC joins Cable Dahmer Automotive Group as its third dealership in Kansas.

Carlos Ledezma, President of Cable Dahmer Automotive Group, shared, “Every dealer who has built something for 50 years asks the same question when it’s time to step away: Who will take care of my people and my name? Greg Maurer trusted Cable Dahmer with that answer. Dale Willey becomes our tenth store, and we’ll run it the way we’ve built our group since 2002, by keeping the team, investing in their growth, and honoring the standard that Greg set. Thank you, Greg, and our thanks to Jamie, Paul, and Performance Brokerage for a transaction handled with real professionalism.”

Dale Willey Chevrolet GMC will be renamed Cable Dahmer Chevrolet GMC and will remain at its current location.
