The sale closed on March 17, 2023.
The acquisition of Motor Werks by Murgado Automotive Group is part of the company's strategic expansion plan to increase its market presence and customer base.

Murgado Automotive Group already operates Honda of Downtown Chicago, Volkswagen of Downtown Chicago, Honda Libertyville, and Acura Highland Park.
“Motor Werks was the first Cadillac dealership that I ever visited as a boy with my father in 1975, so I am deeply familiar with the brand and its legacy,” said Mario Murgado, president and CEO of Murgado Automotive Group. “We are proud and excited to welcome Motor Werks to our family of dealerships and add to our presence in Greater Chicago. We look forward to working with the many long-time and experienced employees and extending the tradition and success of Motor Werks.”
Founded in 1971 with one store in downtown Barrington, Motor Werks grew into a state-of-the-art campus that is recognized as one of the most successful automotive retailers in Illinois. The Motor Werks brand will be retained, and no major staffing changes were announced. Customers of Motor Werks can expect a seamless transition of ownership and continued commitment to providing an outstanding automotive retail experience.
“I want to thank Paul Tamraz and Mick Austin for the opportunity to acquire their incredible stores,” said Murgado. “They built a beautiful family business and have set a high bar, but we are up to the challenge.”
