DCH Auto Group grew to 26 dealerships this week, with the announcement on Monday that it has acquired Honda of Nanuet, located in Nanuet, N.Y.

The dealership will be renamed DCH Honda of Nanuet as it joins the company's 25 existing new and pre-owned car dealerships in New Jersey, New York and California.

"We're delighted with the opportunity to bring DCH's renowned customer-focused experience to Nanuet," said Shau-wai Lam, chairman of DCH Auto Group. "This is a wonderful addition to the DCH family of dealerships."

Offering the full line of Honda vehicles, as well as service and parts operations, DCH Honda of Nanuet will be located within close proximity of DCH's flagship store, DCH Paramus Honda in Paramus, N.J.

It becomes the auto group's 12th dealership in the tri-state area, and the third in New York state.

With the acquisition of the dealership, DCH also brings its award-winning Teen Safe Driving Program to the Nanuet community, a program aimed at reducing the number of car crashes involving teen and young drivers.

DCH team members, in partnership with local high schools and community organizations, work to educate teens and parents about the dangers of distracted driving, the importance of the Graduated Driver's License, and other safe driving topics.
