Houston-based LAPIS Automotive has acquired four dealerships in Livermore, California from Umansky Automotive Group in a deal that closed March 17, 2026. The transaction brings LAPIS CEO Todd Blue’s growing portfolio to six rooftops in just over two years of operation, adding the group’s first Honda franchise alongside three luxury brands he previously represented. The acquisition expands LAPIS’s West Coast footprint into the San Francisco Bay Area, a region Blue cited for strong economic tailwinds tied to AI industry growth.
