GORDIE GERBRANDTDEALER EXPERIENCE. ADVISOR PERSPECTIVE.
I understand what’s
on both sides of the deal.
Having owned GM, Kia, Volkswagen and Mercedes-Benz dealerships, I understand the work behind the numbers—and what it means to buy or sell a business you’ve built.
Today, I bring that perspective to franchised dealership transactions as Director of Canadian Operations for Tim Lamb Group.

Former dealer.
Experienced advisor.
I’ve been in your seat.
My automotive career began in 1999, progressing from sales through general management to ownership. I previously owned GM, Kia, Volkswagen and Mercedes-Benz franchises, along with Canadian National Auto Loans, before selling in 2018.
As Director of Canadian Operations for Tim Lamb Group, I focus on franchised dealership acquisitions and divestitures across Canada, with access to a broader North American network.
A successful transaction starts with understanding the business, its people and the objectives of the owner. That perspective shapes how I prepare a dealership for market and approach prospective buyers.
