After 35 years of ownership, the Hill family sold its two dealerships in Newtown Square, Penn., a suburb of Philadelphia.
Haig Partners LLC was the sell-side adviser in the transaction of Hill Buick GMC to RDS Automotive Group and Hill Cadillac to Piazza Auto Group. It saidthe Hill family built “a reputation for exceptional customer service, strong performance and deep community relationships throughout Philadelphia’s Main Line and surrounding Delaware and Chester Counties.”
These were the Hill family’s only dealerships, and according to Haig, they left the market to “spend more time with their families and explore other interests.”
“These dealerships have been a huge part of our family’s lives for more than three decades, so deciding to sell was about much more than finding a buyer,” said Hill Buick GMC President Geoffrey Hill Jr.
“I want to congratulate Robert DiStanislao and RDS Automotive Group, along with Dan Piazza and Piazza Auto Group. Both are outstanding operators, and I know our employees and customers will be in great hands.”
RDS Automotive Group is Pennsylvania based. The acquisition of Hill Buick GMC, now Buick GMC Newtown Square, marks its 11th rooftop across Pennsylvania, Connecticut and California.
Piazza Auto Group, also based out of Pennsylvania, has over 30 dealerships across Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey. Hill Cadillac will now operate as Cadillac of Newtown Square.
