In April, Kot Auto Group announced the grand opening a new rooftop in Langford, B.C., billed as the largest Hyundai facility in Canada.

This week, the dealership group strengthened its Hyundai presence in British Columbia with the acquisition of Duncan Hyundai.

According to a news release, Kot Auto Group now owns and operates four Hyundai dealerships across British Columbia, making it the largest Hyundai retailer in Western Canada.

Kot Auto Group now has 12 stores in its portfolio courtesy of this acquisition that management said further reinforces the group’s strategic growth trajectory and its commitment to delivering exceptional customer experiences in every community it serves.

“This acquisition represents another exciting milestone for Kot Auto Group,” Kot Auto Group president John Kot said in the news release. “Duncan Hyundai has built a strong reputation for customer service and community involvement, and we’re excited to continue that legacy while bringing additional resources, innovation, and opportunities to the dealership and the Cowichan Valley region.”

Kot Auto Group thanked former owner Tony Reymer for his leadership and the strong foundation he built at Duncan Hyundai over the years.

“Customers can expect a seamless transition, with the existing team remaining in place and continued dedication to exceptional sales, service, and support,” the group said, adding that Jordan Reymer, son of Tony Reymer, will continue to be a part of Duncan Hyundai in his role as managing partner and general manager.

Since its founding, Kot Auto Group has expanded rapidly throughout British Columbia and beyond, building a diverse portfolio of automotive brands and dealerships.

“The acquisition reflects Kot Auto Group’s long-term vision of strategic growth through partnerships with high performing dealerships that share the organization’s values of customer care, employee development, and operational excellence,” the group said.
