Ed Tomko Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, a fixture in Avon Lake, OH, since 1977, has been sold to Catskill Automotive Partners.
This is the first dealership acquisition for Elliot Schor and Scott Zuckerman of Catskill Automotive Partners, who will rename the business Avon Lake Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram.
The deal was announced by Steve Corle of the Tim Lamb Group, who brokered the sale, which closed Feb. 11.
The dealership, founded by the late Ed Tomko, was most recently operated by his four children -- Greg Tomko, principal; Renee Tomko, controller; Paul Tomko, used car manager; and David Tomko, service and parts director -- who opted to sell the business as they transition into retirement.
“I want to send a big congratulations to the Tomko family on their retirement and for the 40+ years of dedicated service to their community,” Schor said. “Scott and I appreciate the faith that the Tim Lamb Group had in us. Their support helped get the deal across the finish line.”
The 41,947-square-foot dealership sits on 7.5 acres and features a new and used vehicle showroom, a body shop and Level 3 EV charging stations. Avon Lake Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram will remain at 33725 Walker Road in Avon Lake.
“My family has known Steve Corle at Tim Lamb Group since 2018, and we are thrilled to have had him by our side during this process,” said Greg Tomko. “He was great to work with, making the sale as seamless as possible. His reputation and knowledge exceeded our expectations.”
