DOVER – The i.g. Burton Auto Group has acquired Dover’s CF Schwartz Toyota, to be renamed i.g. Burton Toyota of Dover. According to a statement released by the group, the purchase marks a significant expansion that strengthens its presence in the area.
“We are thrilled to join the Dover community and are eager to cater to the automotive needs of its residents,” said Charlie Burton, owner and president of i.g. Burton Auto Group.
“This acquisition perfectly aligns with our mission to provide unparalleled customer experiences and top-notch vehicles. We are confident that our motto, ‘Nobody Beats a Burton Deal, Nobody!’ will resonate well with Dover customers.”
The group says that they offer a selection of over 12,000 new and pre-owned vehicles across their 11 locations.
MJ Lofland, vice president/chief operating officer of i.g. Burton Auto Group, added, “This expansion is a significant step forward for us as we continue to grow and evolve. We remain dedicated to upholding the high standards of service and quality that are synonymous with the i.g. Burton name. Our team is excited to welcome all customers and team members at CF Schwartz Toyota into the Burton family.”
The rebranding can already be seen on the dealership’s website—though the web address has yet to change.
C.F. Schwartz goes back to the 1920s, when the business began as a transportation firm that operated a bus. Since then, the business grew, but still held its family-style service. Several times, the dealership haws won the Toyota President’s Award for excellence.
I.G. Burton began its business in 1908 and was named after founders Theodore and Fred Burton’s grandson and son, respectively. I.G. eventually became president, bringing the dealership to the modern era after World War II, and his son David began carrying non-American cars like Mercedes-Benz and BMW.
Current president Charlie Burton is the fifth generation of his family running the business.
