Dilawri has announced the acquisition of Volvo Cars West Island (formerly Volvo West Island), the dealer group’s first franchised Volvo store in Québec and the second under its umbrella.
The store is located at 15 Auto Plaza in Pointe-Claire, near the intersection of Boulevard Saint-Jean and Brunswick Blvd., which is about two blocks north of the Trans-Canada Highway. The group’s franchised dealerships now represent 38 brands at 83 facilities in Canada and the United States, including 13 locations in the Montréal area.
“The acquisition of Volvo Cars West Island marks an exciting milestone for Dilawri’s ongoing presence in Québec,” said Nick Avdeliodis, VP of Operations, in a statement. “It’s a privilege to add the Volvo brand to our portfolio in this region.”
The dealership joins seven other Dilawri franchised dealerships in the area and is equipped with sales, service, and parts departments. The acquisition is notable in that Volvo has built a solid reputation for delivering durable, reliable, and safe luxury vehicles over the years — and it includes gas, hybrid, and fully-electric models in its lineup.
“As our first Volvo retail facility in Québec, the addition of Volvo Cars West Island to our network not only reinforces our presence in the region but also reflects our commitment to offering our customers more choice and premium automotive experiences,” said Ettore Gattolin, Vice President, Mergers, Acquisitions, & Special Projects, in a statement.
The facility will allow the group to bring the brand to customers in the province under the Dilawri banner.
