Kunes Auto & RV Group announced the opening of its new store in Beloit, Rock County, Wisconsin.
Purchased from Finley GMC, the new automotive store will operate as Kunes GMC of Beloit starting April 1, giving Kunes 45 automotive and RV dealerships spanning Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa and Minnesota. Kunes has operated GM dealerships since 2004, and the new store will mark Kunes’ 10th GM dealership, as well as a first in the Beloit community, the company said.
“We are thrilled to welcome Finley GMC into the Kunes family,” said Scott Kunes, chief operating officer at Kunes Auto Group. “Our commitment to providing above and beyond automotive customer experiences and services coincides with the values upheld by Finley GMC, and we look forward to continuing their legacy of excellence in the Beloit community.”
Kunes will retain the expertise of Tom Finley, the owner of Finley GMC, who is retiring after 40 years, as his knowledge and esteem in the community will be invaluable during the transition, the company said. Thirty-six of Finley GMC employees will keep their position and join the Kunes family, including Matt Finley, Tom’s son, as the store’s finance manager.
