After 86 years of being the area's licensed dealer for General Motors, Algoma Motors will no longer be selling or providing warranty work on GMC or GM vehicles.  Co-owners Jim and Jeff Rabas finalized the sale of the GMC dealership with Patriot Motors of Sturgeon Bay on Tuesday.  Algoma Motors became a GM dealer in 1937 when Jim Rabas, Sr., started the business and later added the Pontiac and Buick lines.  Jim Rabas, Jr. says selling the GMC brand was a bittersweet decision. Still, Algoma Motors will remain open to selling used cars and providing automotive repair services, even on GM or GMC vehicles.  

Algoma Motors’ Pontiac line of vehicles ended in 2010, and the Buick dealership closed last January.  Rabas adds that he appreciates the loyal customers throughout the years and plans to keep staffing the business at the same levels.
