The Presidio Group LLC (“Presidio”), an independent merchant banking firm focused on mergers and acquisitions, capital raising and investments in the automotive retail and consumer mobility sectors, exclusively advised Sewell Automotive Companies in its acquisition of Land Rover Boerne in Boerne, Texas, from Shottenkirk Automotive Group.

The transaction closed on Nov. 17 and included the dealership’s real estate. Sewell’s purchase reinforces its presence as a leading retailer in the Texas luxury auto market.

“We are honored to add Land Rover Boerne and its outstanding team to the Sewell family of dealerships,” said Carl Sewell III, president of Sewell Automotive Companies. “As our trusted investment banker and an invaluable partner, the Presidio team has been working diligently, creatively and in complete confidence on this transaction to maximize value for our organization. After we asked Presidio to pursue this acquisition for us, an agreement was reached in record time.”

“Presidio’s experience and professionalism once again helped ensure a successful outcome as our dealership group expands its footprint,” said Jacquelin Sewell, president of Sewell Automotive Companies. “This transaction gives us our third dealership in the thriving San Antonio market and the second Land Rover location in our network. We welcome Land Rover Boerne and its legacy of exceptional customer service and community engagement to the Sewell family.”

With the sale, Shottenkirk turns its attention to growth elsewhere for its expansive network of stores.

“The sale of Land Rover Boerne is a strategic decision as we focus on other priorities within our portfolio,” said Greg Shottenkirk, president of Shottenkirk Automotive Group. “We are proud of what our team has accomplished in Boerne and confident the store and its employees have a great future with the Sewell organization. We thank Presidio for its professionalism in guiding this transaction.”

Sewell’s acquisition showcases the value of relationships in today’s dealership M&A market.

“This is the second acquisition of a Land Rover store that Presidio has facilitated for the Sewell family following the 2020 purchase of Land Rover North Austin,” said George Karolis, president of The Presidio Group. “The Sewells have a long-term view and are laser focused and intentional as they expand their multi-generational, top-class dealership group. The Texas luxury-brand dealership market is one of the best performing and most desirable in the country, and the Presidio team continues to see significant acquisition interest in that space from dealers.”

Brodie Cobb, CEO of The Presidio Group, said, “Our team is honored that the Sewells consider us a trusted advisor they can turn to when they want to grow. To be the exclusive investment banker to this storied dealership group is a privilege that we don’t take lightly, as well as a point of pride for our team.”

Buyer legal counsel was provided by Adam Lawyer, chief investment officer of Sewell Automotive Companies, and Jeff Hamilton, Sewell’s general counsel. Seller legal counsel was provided by George Taylor III of Burr & Foreman LLP.

The Presidio Group provided exclusive advisory services to Sewell Automotive Companies through its wholly owned investment bank Presidio Merchant Partners LLC.
