Castle Automotive Group of Oakbrook Terrace, Ill., made its first acquisition of 2023 with the purchase of three dealerships in Chicago’s western suburbs.
Castle Automotive on Thursday bought Pugi Auto Group, consisting of Pugi Volkswagen, Pugi Mazda and Pugi Hyundai-Genesis of Downers Grove, all in Downers Grove, Ill., southwest of Chicago, from dealer Dominic Pugliani.
The dealerships were renamed Castle Volkswagen Downers Grove, Castle Mazda Downers Grove and Castle Hyundai Downers Grove-Genesis of Downers Grove. The Hyundai and Genesis brands currently are housed in one building, but Castle Automotive is constructing a standalone Genesis facility, said Andrew Dorgan, the group’s director of corporate development.
