NEWARK — The Hertrich Family of Automobile Dealerships announced its acquisition of Newark-based Porter Nissan, Porter Infiniti and Porter Auto Body West on Tuesday.
“After 22 years of providing automotive services to our community and careers to our loyal and hardworking employees, we have decided to hand over the reins to the Hertrich Auto Group. It was a pleasure, and we are truly humbled, thank you,” said a Porter representative in a statement.
The former Porter locations will operate under the names Hertrich Nissan of Newark, Hertrich Infiniti of Newark and Hertrich Collision Center of Newark.
They are located at 303 E. Cleveland Ave.
These additions mark 24 dealerships, 10 collision centers and 20 brands represented by the Hertrich Family, a company that started its car sales and service business in 1963 in Seaford.
“We are very excited to welcome the Porter Nissan, Infiniti and Auto Body West team members and customers to our family,” said Fred Hertrich IV in a statement about the acquisition.
“The Porter family has been an icon in the Delaware automotive industry for years and we are honored to continue their legacy of serving their customers and the community.”
This purchase results in the second Hertrich Nissan location, the first Hertrich Infiniti site and the first set of Hertrich locations in Newark.
In addition, the Hertrich Collision Center of Newark is the fifth such facility for the business in just over a year and the 10th Hertrich collision center in total.
“We are just so grateful,” said Mr. Hertrich. “We are grateful for the opportunity to expand into the Newark community and serve their automotive sales, service and collision repair needs. We are grateful for the opportunity to welcome the Porter Nissan, Infiniti and Auto Body West team members to our family. We are grateful for the chance to expand our partnership with Nissan, and we are grateful for all of our team members and partners who made this acquisition possible.
“Our goal is to continually grow and improve to better serve our customers and the community.”
