Tim Lamb Group Facilitates Sale of Solana Motors in Brady, Texas, to Regency Holding LLC

Tim Lamb Group facilitated the sale of Solana Motors in Brady, Texas, to Regency Holding LLC, owned by siblings Gesell Lillard and Johnny Lillard, the firm said in a GlobeNewswire announcement on October 29, 2026. The transaction closed on October 13, 2026, and the dealership now operates as Regency Chevrolet GMC.

Solana Motors Sale to Regency Holding

Tim Lamb Group is a Columbus, Ohio-based auto dealership sales and acquisitions brokerage founded in 2006 that represents sellers and buyers of franchised dealerships across North America through fifteen regional directors. Solana Motors, located at 2110 S. Bridge St. in Brady, was sold by Solana Auto Group, LLC, whose president is Eduardo Solana. Mike McMeeken, Director of the South-Central Region at Tim Lamb Group, represented the seller in the transaction.

The sale allows Eduardo Solana to refocus Solana Auto Group's efforts on its remaining automotive dealership operations in Mexico. For the Lillard family, the acquisition marks an expansion into franchised automotive retail and an opportunity to establish a stronger presence in the Brady community. All current dealership employees will be retained as part of the transition.

"We reached out to Mike and the Tim Lamb Group to help guide us through the sale process, and we couldn't be happier with the outcome," said Eduardo Solana, President of Solana Auto Group. Gesell and Johnny Lillard said they had been looking for the right dealership and saw potential in both the business and the Brady community.
