Live the Dream | Expect Excellence
A multi-rooftop luxury automotive collection spanning Louisiana, Texas, Tennessee, Alabama, and Florida, representing Mercedes-Benz, Ferrari, INFINITI, Toyota, Lexus, and Nissan. We are not a car dealer. We are a luxury retailer, and we measure our success by that standard alone.
Our Beginnings
Founder, CEO & Owner
Joe's journey in automotive retail began in 2005, when he acquired Mercedes-Benz of Baton Rouge. Through relentless focus on operational excellence, financial discipline, and company culture, he grew the store to national prominence, earning recognition as Mercedes-Benz USA's top dealer in the United States in 2009.
A New Jersey native and Rutgers University accounting graduate, Joe began his career at Arthur Andersen specializing in high-risk due diligence, a foundation of financial rigor that still shapes how Dream Motor Group operates today.
President
Randy's story begins with a genuine love of cars, starting as a technician apprentice with Mercedes-Benz in Fort Myers, Florida, in the late 1970s, and rising through the ranks from technician to service manager to senior dealership leadership, all while earning both his bachelor's and master's degrees along the way.
Today, Randy oversees Dream Motor Group's day-to-day operations and ensures our standard of excellence is upheld across every rooftop.
Dream Motor Group also carries the name of a promise passed down through one of its partners. Over the years, Joe brought on Nick Saban and former Mercedes-Benz USA CEO Steve Cannon as partners and owners, growing the organization into one of the South's most dynamic luxury automotive retail groups. Nick's championship culture of process, accountability, and continuous improvement is woven into how Dream Motor Group operates at every level, a legacy that traces back to the values his own father, Nick Saban Sr., instilled in him at a small Gulf service station in West Virginia:
Respect, without exception
Every customer is treated as you would want to be treated, with no exceptions for status, background, or circumstance.
Genuine care
Every recommendation, every decision, is made with the customer's best interest in mind, not the sale.
Uncompromising effort
Do your best, always, at whatever you're doing. Success is never final; it's a continuation.

Who We Are
Servant leadership at our core
Our mission: to dedicate our lives to inspiring our employees, our customers, and our communities in their quest to fulfill their dreams through the faithful execution of servant leadership.
Like-minded, and more importantly, like-hearted
We recruit, hire, train, recognize, reward, and promote based on culture, not sales metrics alone. Every team member carries a Culture Card as a daily reminder of who we are.
A luxury retailer, not a car dealer
Every customer, every interaction, and every outcome reflect the standard of the brands we represent.
“We will trip, fall, and skin our knees trying to delight our customers.”
The Dream Advantage
Access to an extraordinary breadth of new and Certified Pre-Owned inventory across seven brands, from the Mercedes-Benz C-Class to the S-Class, AMG® performance models, Sprinter vans, Ferrari, and beyond.
Our group's multi-state scale lets us place every trade-in in the market best suited for its resale, meaning we can consistently pay more than a standalone dealership can.
Concierge pickup and delivery, product genius bars, private business centers, and long-tenured teams treat every visit like coming home.
