A long-time family-owned shop has been sold to a larger group. Sil’s Complete Auto Care Centre has been acquired by The Mufflerman Group.
Located in Oakville, Ontario, Sil’s has been serving the community for almost 50 years, opening its doors in September 1976. It was started by Silvano Sabucco and taken over by his son Carlo Sabucco in 2009.
An announcement by The Mufflerman noted that all employees will remain with the shop and it will operate independently within its network. Sil’s has 8 bays. The deal closed on Feb. 5.
“Carlo and the entire Sil’s team bring unparalleled passion and expertise to the auto repair industry, which has driven their success in the Oakville market for an impressive five decades,” said Costa Haitas, president of The Mufferlman. “Their team is truly outstanding, consistently providing exceptional service to their customers utilizing best-in-class industry tools and technologies. We look forward to adding this location and brand to the Mufflerman family.”
The Mufflerman network includes 28 locations, with 19 of them operating as corporate-owned locations. The network has four different brands: The Mufflerman, EuroMechanic, Fleet Specialties and Sil’s. Another nine franchised locations operate under the Superior Tire & Auto brand.
