"Toyota of Montgomery and Lexus of Montgomery are high-performing assets in a strategically important market," Pinnacle president Mike Sims said. "Brett and his team executed a clear operational transformation and customer experience strategy that positioned these dealerships for sustained success under Dream Motor Group."
