After lengthy careers as dealership managers, two Canadian partners have acquired their first store: Coachella Valley Volkswagen in Southern California.
PATH Auto Group — a partnership formed this year by Phil Alalouf and Todd Hewitt — purchased the store in Indio on April 19 from the growing Nouri/Shaver Automotive Group.
The new owners kept the name of the store, which sold 244 new vehicles and 480 used vehicles last year.
The duo follow several other Canadians who have bought dealerships in the U.S. in the past several years.
