We thank them for the opportunity to be of service. The LaFontaine Automotive Group brings tremendous experience and a stellar reputation. We wish them great success with their acquisition!"

In 1980, Michael LaFontaine, Sr. and Maureen LaFontaine founded the nationally-recognized LaFontaine Automotive Group, which includes 20 retail locations and six collision centers, employing over 1,600 people. The LaFontaine family and team members have made it their mission to provide a personalized automotive experience that builds lifelong relationships that connect families and strengthen communities. LaFontaine Automotive Group is ranked by Automotive News as the 52nd largest dealer group in the U.S., selling over 35,000 vehicles in 2019.

"With two dealerships in Genesee County, we are focused on continuing to foster lifelong relationships with residents and businesses alike, and with this new location, we will be able to increase our support and make a greater impact on those living and working in the surrounding communities." said Kelley LaFontaine, Vice President, LaFontaine Automotive Group.

"The Delehanty's are a great family and are well-respected in Genesee County, having a long history of giving back to their local community," added Ryan LaFontaine, COO of LaFontaine Automotive Group. "Their customer and community-first mindset aligns perfectly with our mission. We are committed to continuing on the legacy the Delehanty family has created over the past 70 plus years and will be pouring our passion into the community."
