Southlake, Texas – January 27, 2026 — Pinnacle Mergers & Acquisitions, a leader in auto dealership brokerage, is pleased to announce the successful sale of Power Chevrolet/GMC and Power Ford, located in Newport, Oregon. The stores were sold by the Koehnke family, owners of Power Auto Group, to Bay Area Auto Group, led by Hardeep Singh, Jay Dhillon, and Doug Hildreth. Under the new ownership, the dealerships will operate as part of the Bay Area Auto Group portfolio.
“We made the difficult decision to sell these stores because of the location and distance from the main footprint of our other stores in the Salem area,” said Jeff Koehnke, CEO of Power Auto Group. “Hardeep and his team were an ideal fit who I believe, and hope, will do very well with the stores. I enjoyed working with Mike Sims and the team at Pinnacle as they were there for us every step of the way and helped navigate a very smooth and successful transaction.”
Pinnacle Mergers & Acquisitions served as the advisor to the Koehnke family. The transaction was led by Mike Sims, President of Pinnacle, and Wes Hamilton, Executive Vice President of Pinnacle.
“At Pinnacle, we take great pride in helping long-standing dealership owners make strategic decisions that honor the legacy of their businesses,” said Sims. “This transaction reflects our ongoing commitment to providing trusted guidance with discretion, integrity, and a relationship-first mindset that puts our clients’ goals at the center of every deal.”
