Two Ohio dealerships recently traded hands, boosting an auto group to its seventh rooftop.

The sale of Toyota of Wooster and Volkswagen of Wooster by Dave Hill to Patrick O’Brien of Firelands Auto Group was brokered by Tim Lamb Group, which also handled Hill’s purchase of the stores in 2011.

The group added Firelands to the name of both stores, which sit about one and a half hour’s drive from Sandusky, Ohio. In the sale, which encompasses three buildings and three acres, the group also picked up an off-site body shop where it plans to add service stalls and lifts.

Firelands also owns Chevrolet, Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, and Honda stores in the northern part of the state.

Hill still owns a used-vehicle store in Wadsworth.
