Dream Motor Group, led by legendary former Alabama head coach Nick Saban and automotive executive Joe Agresti, has finalized a $151 million acquisition of Toyota of Montgomery and Lexus of Montgomery.

The sale was announced in a press release from Pinnacle M&A.

Car Dealership Guy previously reported that the deal had been foreshadowed when Saban’s ESPN College GameDay co-host, Pat McAfee, mentioned during Week 7 that Saban was “about to have Toyota dealerships under his umbrella.”

The acquisition places two high-performing dealerships under Saban’s growing automotive umbrella at a time when Montgomery continues to strengthen its position as a key regional market for vehicle sales and service.

Pinnacle M&A President Mike Sims said the group is gaining stores that have already undergone significant transformation and are positioned for long-term success.

“Toyota of Montgomery and Lexus of Montgomery are high-performing assets in a strategically important market,” Sims said. “Brett and his team executed a clear operational transformation and customer experience strategy that positioned these dealerships for sustained success under Dream Motor Group.”

Under the leadership of seller Brett Sutherlin and Sutherlin Automotive Group, both dealerships completed modernization of sales and service operations, updated management roles, improved CSI performance, and expanded fixed operations capacity—enhancements that have strengthened the stores’ competitiveness and future scalability.

Sutherlin said he is proud of the work accomplished and expects continued momentum as the dealerships transition to Dream Motor Group.

“We are extremely proud of the teams at these stores and the results they delivered,” Sutherlin said. “Mike has been an incredible partner. We look forward to announcing more acquisitions that we have under contract very soon.”
