Transformative Deal: Havre Ford Changes Hands to Aaron Jones

Transformative Deal in Automotive Sales
Performance Brokerage Services, recognized as a leader in dealership buy-sell transactions, is thrilled to announce the recent acquisition of Havre Ford by Aaron Jones. Previously owned by the Steinmetz family for over three decades, this dealership located on Highway 2 West has a history of dedicated service to the community.
A Legacy of Family Ownership
The Steinmetz family, headed by President Charlie Steinmetz, proudly operated Havre Ford with the support of his father, the original owner Peter Steinmetz, and brother Steve Steinmetz. This long-standing family commitment to the business created a welcoming environment for customers and a tradition of quality service.
Advisory Role of Performance Brokerage Services
Charlie Steinmetz shared how crucial the role of Performance Brokerage Services was during the sale process, stating, "Jonny Mecham and his team provided invaluable support throughout the sale, keeping us informed and reassured through each step of a complex process." This level of dedication is reflective of the agency’s reputation as North America’s leading dealership brokerage, having successfully managed the sale of nearly 400 dealerships in the past five years alone.
Transitioning to New Ownership
Jonny Mecham, a Senior Partner at Performance Brokerage Services, remarked, "Working closely with the Steinmetz family over the past year has been a pleasure. It was essential for us to find a committed buyer who understands the unique dynamics of a small community like this one. I’m confident that Aaron Jones and his family will uphold the strong legacy of Havre Ford.”
Expanding Horizons in Montana
Aaron Jones, who also operates Courtesy Ford in Conrad, Montana, is eager to continue the legacy of Havre Ford. Under his guidance, the dealership aims to enhance its offerings while maintaining the core values established by the Steinmetz family.
