Exhibit 10.2

NON-COMPETE AGREEMENT

This Non-Compete Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into between Group 1 Automotive, Inc.
(“Employer”), and Earl J. Hesterberg (“Employee”), effective as of September 8, 2010 (the
“Effective Date”).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement, Employer and Employee executed
an Employment Agreement governing the terms and conditions of their employment relationship.

WHEREAS, Employer desires to provide to Employee certain additional post-employment payments
as set forth in Section 3.5 of the Employment Agreement (the “Post-Employment Non-Compete
Payments”) in consideration for Employee’s loyalty, future performance and continued employment
with Employer.

WHEREAS, in consideration for Employer providing to Employee the Post-Employment Non-Compete
Payments and certain confidential and proprietary information and trade secrets for the purpose of
carrying out his employment responsibilities (as set forth in Section 5.1 of the Employment
Agreement), Employee agrees to the non-competition provisions of Section 1 of this Agreement.

AGREEMENT

For and in consideration of the mutual promises, covenants, and obligations contained herein,
Employer and Employee agree as follows:

	1.	 	POST-EMPLOYMENT NON-COMPETITION OBLIGATIONS

1.1. Non-Competition Obligations. Ancillary to the agreement of Employer and Employee in
Sections 3 and 5 of the Employment Agreement, and in consideration for the Post-Employment
Non-Compete Payments and Employer’s promises contained in Section 5.1 of the Employment Agreement,
and as an additional incentive for Employer to enter into this Agreement, Employer and Employee
agree to the non-competition provisions of this Section 1.1. Employee agrees that during the
period of Employee’s non-competition obligations hereunder, Employee will not, directly or
indirectly for either Employee or any automotive retailer with $1 Billion ($1,000,000,000) or more
in annual revenues for the prior two years, in any geographic area or market where Employer or any
of its subsidiaries or affiliated companies are conducting any business as of the date of
termination of the employment relationship or have during the previous twelve (12) months conducted
any business:

	 	(i)	 	engage in any business competitive with any line of business conducted by
Employer or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates on behalf of any public or private
auto retailer which averaged, in the aggregate, $1 Billion ($1,000,000,000) or more in
annual revenues for the prior two years;

	 	(ii)	 	render advice or services to, or otherwise assist, any other person,
association, or entity who is engaged, directly or indirectly, in any business
competitive with any line of business conducted by Employer or any of its subsidiaries
or affiliates on behalf of any public or private auto retailer which averaged, in the
aggregate, $1 Billion ($1,000,000,000) or more in annual revenues for the prior two
years;

	 	(iii)	 	solicit or accept the business of, or call upon, any customer or client of
Employer for the purpose of conducting competitive business or otherwise seeking profit
from a competitive activity;

	 	(iv)	 	encourage or induce any current or former employee of Employer or any of its
subsidiaries or affiliates to leave the employment of Employer or any of its
subsidiaries or affiliates or proselytize, offer employment, retain, hire or assist in
the hiring of any such employee by any person, association, or entity not affiliated
with Employer or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates for a period of twenty-four (24)
months from date of termination; provided, however, that nothing in this subsection
(iv) shall prohibit Employee from offering employment to any prior employee of Employer
or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates who was not employed by Employer or any of its
subsidiaries or affiliates at any time in the twelve (12) months prior to the
termination of Employee’s employment; or

	 	(v)	 	divulge any of the confidential, proprietary or trade secret information that
was provided to Employee pursuant to Section 5 of this Agreement to any third party or
individual or entity other than Employer or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates.

The non-competition obligations set forth in subsections (i) through (v) of this Section 1.1 shall
apply during Employee’s employment and for a period of two (2) years after termination of
employment. If Employer or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates abandons a particular aspect of
its business, that is, ceases such aspect of its business with the intention to permanently refrain
from such aspect of its business, then this post-employment non-competition covenant shall not
apply to such former aspect of that business.

1.2. Future Employment.

1.2.1. If Employee in the future, seeks or is offered employment, or any other position or
capacity with another company or entity, Employee agrees to inform each new employer or entity,
before accepting employment, of the existence of the restrictions contained in Section 1.1.
Further, before taking any employment position with any person during the non-competition period,
Employee agrees to give prior written notice to Employer of the name of such person or entity.
Employer shall be entitled to advise such person or entity of the provisions of Section 1.1 and to
otherwise deal with such person or entity to ensure that the provisions of this Section are
enforced and duly discharged.

1.2.2. If Employee in the future seeks or is offered employment with another company or
entity, Employee may provide Employer with written notice stating the name of the prospective
employer, Employee’s prospective position, responsibilities and duties, and the industry or
industries in which the prospective employer operates. Employer shall have ten (10) business days
from receipt of such notice to notify Employee of its belief that such prospective employment would
be a violation of the provisions of Section 1.1. If Employer fails to respond to Employee in
writing within such ten (10) business day period, Employer shall be estopped from asserting its
rights, if any, arising from a violation of Section 1.1 by reason of such employment as described
in such notice.

1.3. Tolling of Restrictive Periods. If the Employee violates any of the restrictions
contained in Section 1.1, the restrictive periods shall be suspended and will not run in favor of
the Employee until such time as the Employee cures the violation to the satisfaction of Employer.

1.4. Acknowledgment. Employee understands that the foregoing restrictions may limit his
ability to engage in certain businesses in locations where the Employer conducts business during
the period provided for above, but acknowledges that Employee’s job duties during his employment
with Employer, receipt of Employer’s confidential and proprietary information and trade secrets (as
well as access to certain confidential and proprietary information and trade secrets) and
Employee’s receipt of sufficiently high remuneration and other benefits under the Employment
Agreement justifies such restriction. Employee acknowledges that money damages would not be
sufficient remedy for any breach of Section 1.1 by Employee, and Employer or any of its
subsidiaries or affiliates shall be entitled to enforce the provisions of this Section by
terminating any payments then owing to Employee under the Employment Agreement and/or to obtain
specific performance and injunctive relief as remedies for such breach or any threatened breach,
without any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedies.
Such remedies shall not be deemed the exclusive remedies for a breach of Section 1.1, but shall be
in addition to all remedies available at law or in equity to Employer or any of its subsidiaries or
affiliates, including, without limitation, the recovery of damages from Employee and his agents
involved in such breach.

1.5. Materiality and Conditionality of Section. Section 1.1 is material to this Agreement.
Employee’s agreement to strictly comply with Section 1.1 is a precondition for Employee’s receipt
of payments and vesting of Restricted Stock and stock options pursuant to Section 1 of this
Agreement. Whether or not Section 1.1 or any portion thereof has been held or found invalid or
unenforceable for any reason whatsoever by a court or other constituted legal authority of
competent jurisdiction, upon any violation of this Section or any portion thereof, or upon a
finding that a violation would have occurred if such Section or any portion thereof were
enforceable, the Employee and Employer agree that (i) the Employee’s interest in the Restricted
Stock and stock options pursuant to Section 1 of this Agreement shall automatically lapse and be
forfeited; (ii) Employer shall have no obligation to make any further payments to Employee under
the terms of Section 1 of this Agreement; (iii) Employer shall be entitled to receive the full
value of any payments which were previously made to the Employee pursuant to Section 1 of this
Agreement in the previous twelve (12) months, as well as the value of any Restricted Stock or stock
options that may have vested during the past twelve (12) months from the date of the Employee’s
termination, for any reason, to the date on which a court or arbitration panel held or found the
non-compete article to have been violated; (iv) the Employee’s interest in post-termination payment
pursuant to Sections 2.3 and 3.5 of the Employment Agreement shall automatically lapse and be
forfeited; (v) Employer shall have no obligation to make any further payments to Employee under the
terms of Sections 2.3 and 3.5 of the Employment Agreement; and (vi) Employer shall be entitled to
receive the full value of any payments which were previously made to the Employee pursuant to
Sections 2.3 and 3.5 of the Employment Agreement in the previous twelve (12) months.

1.6. Survival of Section. The Employee and Employer agree that all of the covenants contained
in Section 1.1 shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement, and agree further
that in the event any of the covenants contained in Section 1.1 shall be held by any court to be
effective in any particular area or jurisdiction only if said covenant is modified to be limited in
its duration or scope, then, at the sole option of Employer, the provisions of Section 1.5 may be
deemed to have been triggered, and the rights, liabilities and obligations set forth therein shall
apply. In the event Employer does not elect to trigger application of Section 1.5, then the court
shall have such authority to so reform the covenants and the parties hereto shall consider such
covenants and/or other provisions of Section 1 to be amended and modified with respect to that
particular area or jurisdiction so as to comply with the order of such court and, as to all other
jurisdictions, the covenants contained herein shall remain in full force and effect as originally
written. Should any court hold that the covenants in Section 1.1 are void and otherwise
unenforceable in a particular area or jurisdiction, then notwithstanding the foregoing provisions
of this Section 1.6, the provisions of Section 1.5 shall be applicable and the rights, liabilities
and obligations of the parties set forth therein shall apply. Alternatively, at the sole option of
Employer, Employer may consider such covenants to be amended and modified so as to eliminate
therefrom the particular area or jurisdictions as to which such covenants are so held void or
otherwise unenforceable and, as to all other areas and jurisdictions covered herein, the covenants
contained herein shall remain in full force and effect as originally written.

herewith, except that notices of changes of address shall be effective only upon receipt.

2.4. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed in all respects by the law of the State
of Texas, excluding any conflict-of-law rule or principle that might refer the construction of the
Agreement to the laws of another State or country.

2.5. No Waiver. No failure by either party hereto at anytime to give notice of any breach by

shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any
prior or subsequent time.

2.6. Severability. It is a desire and intent of the parties that the terms, provisions,
covenants, and remedies contained in this Agreement shall be enforceable to the fullest extent
permitted by law. If any such term, provision, covenant, or remedy of this Agreement or the

any other requirements imposed by law, the arbitrator selected shall be a retired Judge, or
otherwise qualified individual to whom the parties mutually agree, and shall be subject to
disqualification on the same grounds as would apply to a Judge. The arbitrator shall apply the
Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and Evidence, including all rules of pleading, discovery, evidence
and all rights to resolution of the dispute by means of motions for summary judgment and judgment
on the pleadings. Resolution of the dispute shall be based solely upon the law governing the
claims and defenses pleaded, and the arbitrator may not invoke any basis (including but not limited
to, notions of “just cause”) other than such controlling law. This Agreement shall not prevent the
Parties from obtaining provisional remedies in court to the extent permitted by Texas law (either
before the commencement of or during the arbitration process), pending final resolution of the
dispute pursuant to this Agreement. The arbitrator shall have the immunity of a judicial officer
from civil liability when acting in the capacity of an arbitrator, which immunity supplements any
other existing immunity. Likewise, all communications during or in connection with the arbitration
proceedings are privileged. Awards shall include the arbitrator’s written reasoned opinion.

2.8. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
Employer, its subsidiaries and affiliates and any other person, association, or entity which may
hereafter acquire or succeed to all or a portion of the business or assets of Employer by any means
whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise. Employee’s rights
and obligations under this Agreement are personal and such rights, benefits, and obligations of
Employee shall not be voluntarily or involuntarily assigned, alienated, or transferred, whether by
operation of law or otherwise, by Employee without the prior written consent of Employer.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.8 or elsewhere in the Agreement, in the
event of the Employee’s death after becoming entitled to receipt of any payment or benefit, but
before receiving all such payments or benefits, the remaining payments shall be made to the
Employee’s survivors or estate and the remaining benefits shall be provided to his widow or other
survivors to the same extent and in the same manner as if he were still alive.

2.9. Entire Agreement. Except as provided in (1) written company policies promulgated by
Employer dealing with issues such as securities trading, business ethics, governmental affairs and
political contributions, consulting fees, commissions and other payments, compliance with law,
investments and outside business interests as officers and employees, reporting responsibilities,
administrative compliance, and the like, (2) the written benefits, plans, and programs referenced
in Section 1.4 of this Agreement or (3) any signed written agreements contemporaneously or
hereafter executed by Employer and Employee (including, but not limited to, the Employment
Agreement), this Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with regard to such
subject matters, and contains all of the covenants, promises, representations, warranties, and
agreements between the parties with respect to such subject matters and replaces and merges
previous agreements and discussions pertaining to the employment relationship between Employer and
Employee.

affect the meaning or interpretation of any provision of this Agreement.

Exhibit 10.3

FORM OF SENIOR EXECUTIVE OFFICER

RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT

THIS SENIOR EXECUTIVE OFFICER RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as
of the effective date set forth on the attached notice of grant (the “Grant Notice”),
between GROUP 1 AUTOMOTIVE, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the executive
officer whose name is set forth on the Grant Notice (“Executive”).

1. Award. Pursuant to the GROUP 1 AUTOMOTIVE, INC. 2007 LONG TERM INCENTIVE PLAN, as
amended (the “Plan”), the number of shares (the “Restricted Shares”) of the
Company’s common stock set forth in the Grant Notice shall be issued as hereinafter provided in
Executive’s name, subject to certain restrictions thereon. The Restricted Shares shall be issued
upon acceptance hereof by Executive (which shall be demonstrated by Executive’s execution of the
Grant Notice) and upon satisfaction of the conditions of this Agreement and the Grant Notice.
Executive acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan, and agrees that this award of Restricted
Shares shall be subject to all of the terms and provisions of the Plan, including future amendments
thereto, if any, pursuant to the terms thereof. In the event of any conflict between the terms of
this Agreement and the Plan, the Plan shall control. The Plan and the Grant Notice are
incorporated herein by reference as a part of this Agreement.

2. Restricted Shares. Executive hereby accepts the Restricted Shares when issued and
agrees with respect thereto as follows:

(a) Forfeiture Restrictions. The Restricted Shares may not be sold, assigned,
pledged, exchanged, hypothecated or otherwise transferred, encumbered or disposed of to the
extent then subject to the Forfeiture Restrictions (as hereinafter defined), and in the event
of termination of Executive’s employment with the Company for any reason other than Planned
Retirement (as hereinafter defined), death or Disability (as hereinafter defined), Executive
shall, for no consideration, forfeit to the Company all Restricted Shares to the extent then
subject to the Forfeiture Restrictions. In the case of a Planned Retirement, if Executive
fails to comply with the Post-Retirement Obligations (as hereinafter defined) continuously
from the date of the termination of his employment as a result of a Planned Retirement until
the Compliance Expiration Date (as hereinafter defined), Executive shall, for no
consideration, forfeit to the Company all the Restricted Shares to the extent subject to the
forfeiture restrictions on the date of such termination. The prohibition against transfer
and the obligation to forfeit and surrender Restricted Shares to the Company upon termination
of employment, or thereafter in the case of non-compliance with the Post-Retirement
Obligations following termination of employment as a result of a Planned Retirement, are
herein referred to as the “Forfeiture Restrictions.” The Forfeiture Restrictions
shall be binding upon and enforceable against any transferee of Restricted Shares. For
purposes of this Agreement, the following capitalized words and terms shall have the meanings
indicated below:

(i) “Board” shall mean the Board of Directors of the Company.

(ii) “Code” shall mean the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

(iii) “Committee” shall mean the committee of the Board that is selected
by the Board to administer the Plan as provided in Paragraph IV(a) of the Plan.

(iv) “Compliance Expiration Date” shall mean the date that is two years
following the effective date of the termination of Executive’s employment with the
Company.

(v) “Disability” shall mean that Executive has become disabled within the
meaning of section 409A(a)(2)(C) of the Code and applicable administrative authority
thereunder.

(vi) “Planned Retirement” shall mean that the Board has accepted the
resignation of Executive under terms relating to date and conditions of resignation
that are mutually agreeable to Executive and the Company.

(vii) “Post-Retirement Obligations” shall mean any obligations of
Executive that apply following the termination of Executive’s employment with the
Company, including, without limitation, pursuant to that certain        Agreement
effective as of [      , 20      ] by and between Executive and the Company and/or
that certain        Agreement effective as of [      , 20      ] by and between
Executive and the Company, as such agreements may be amended from time to time, and
any such other obligations that apply following the termination of Executive’s
employment with the Company pursuant to any other agreement that may be entered into
by Executive and the Company from time to time.

(b) Lapse of Forfeiture Restrictions. The Forfeiture Restrictions shall lapse
as to the Restricted Shares in accordance with the schedule set forth on the Grant Notice,
provided that Executive has been continuously employed by the Company from the date of this
Agreement through the lapse date set forth on the Grant Notice. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Forfeiture Restrictions shall lapse as to all of the Restricted Shares then
subject to the Forfeiture Restrictions on the date Executive’s employment with the Company is
terminated by reason of death or Disability. Further, notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
event that Executive’s employment with the Company terminates as a result of a Planned
Retirement, all of the Restricted Shares that are then subject to the Forfeiture Restrictions
shall remain subject to forfeiture under this Agreement until the Compliance Expiration Date
and, upon the Compliance Expiration Date, provided that Executive has complied with the
Post-Retirement Obligations continuously from the date of the termination of his employment
with the Company as a result of such Planned Retirement until the Compliance Expiration Date,
the Forfeiture Restrictions shall lapse as to all of the Restricted Shares then subject to
the Forfeiture Restrictions.

(c) Certificates. A certificate evidencing the Restricted Shares shall be
issued by the Company in Executive’s name, pursuant to which Executive shall have all of the
rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to the Restricted Shares, including,
without limitation, voting rights and the right to receive dividends (provided, however, that
dividends paid in shares of the Company’s stock shall be subject to the Forfeiture
Restrictions). Executive may not sell, transfer, pledge, exchange, hypothecate or otherwise
dispose of the stock until the Forfeiture Restrictions have expired and a breach of the terms
of this Agreement shall cause a forfeiture of the Restricted Shares. The certificate shall be
delivered upon issuance to the Secretary of the Company or to such other depository as may be
designated by the Committee as a depository for safekeeping until the forfeiture of such
Restricted Shares occurs or the Forfeiture Restrictions lapse pursuant to the terms of the
Plan and this award. On the date of this Agreement, Executive shall deliver to the Company a
stock power, endorsed in blank, relating to the Restricted Shares. Upon the lapse of the
Forfeiture Restrictions without forfeiture, the Company shall cause a new certificate or
certificates to be issued without legend (except for any legend required pursuant to
applicable securities laws or any other agreement to which Executive is a party) in the name
of Executive in exchange for the certificate evidencing the Restricted Shares. However, the
Company, in its sole discretion, may elect to deliver the certificate either in certificate
form or electronically to a brokerage account established for Executive’s benefit at a
brokerage/financial institution selected by the Company. Executive agrees to complete and
sign any documents and take additional action that the Company may request to enable it to
deliver the shares on Executive’s behalf.

(d) Corporate Acts. The existence of the Restricted Shares shall not affect in
any way the right or power of the Board or the stockholders of the Company to make or
authorize any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or other change in the Company’s
capital structure or its business, any merger or consolidation of the Company, any issue of
debt or equity securities, the dissolution or liquidation of the Company or any sale, lease,
exchange or other disposition of all or any part of its assets or business or any other
corporate act or proceeding. The prohibitions of Section 2(a) hereof shall not apply to the
transfer of Restricted Shares pursuant to a plan of reorganization of the Company, but the
stock, securities or other property received in exchange therefor shall also become subject
to the Forfeiture Restrictions and provisions governing the lapsing of such Forfeiture
Restrictions applicable to the original Restricted Shares for all purposes of this Agreement
and the certificates representing such stock, securities or other property shall be legended
to show such restrictions.

3. Withholding of Tax/Tax Election. To the extent that the receipt of the Restricted
Shares or the lapse of any Forfeiture Restrictions results in compensation income to Executive for
federal or state income tax purposes, Executive shall deliver to the Company at the time of such
receipt or lapse, as the case may be, such amount of money as the Company may require to meet its
obligation under applicable tax laws or regulations or make such other arrangements to satisfy such
withholding obligation as the Company, in its sole discretion, may approve. In addition, the
Company may withhold unrestricted shares of stock of the Company (valued at their fair market value
on the date of withholding of such shares) otherwise to be issued upon the lapse of the Forfeiture
Restrictions to satisfy its withholding obligations. If Executive makes the election authorized by
section 83(b) of the Code in connection with the award of the Restricted Shares, Executive shall
submit to the Company a copy of the statement filed by Executive to make such election.

4. Status of Stock. Executive agrees that the Restricted Shares issued under this
Agreement will not be sold or otherwise disposed of in any manner which would constitute a
violation of any applicable securities laws, whether federal or state, or the Company’s Code of
Conduct. Executive also agrees that (a) the certificates representing the Restricted Shares may
bear such legend or legends as the Committee deems appropriate in order to reflect the Forfeiture
Restrictions and to assure compliance with applicable securities laws, (b) the Company may refuse
to register the transfer of the Restricted Shares on the stock transfer records of the Company if
such proposed transfer would constitute a violation of the Forfeiture Restrictions or, in the
opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company, of any applicable securities law, and (c) the
Company may give related instructions to its transfer agent, if any, to stop registration of the
transfer of the Restricted Shares.

5. Employment Relationship. For purposes of this Agreement, Executive shall be
considered to be in the employment of the Company as long as Executive remains an Executive or a
consultant of either the Company, a parent or subsidiary corporation (as defined in section 424 of
the Code) of the Company, or any successor corporation. Nothing in the adoption of the Plan, nor
the award of the Restricted Shares thereunder pursuant to this Agreement, shall confer upon
Executive the right to continued employment or engagement as a consultant by the Company or affect
in any way the right of the Company to terminate such employment or consulting relationship at any
time. Unless otherwise provided in a written employment or consulting agreement or by applicable
law, Executive’s employment or engagement as a consultant by the Company shall be on an at-will
basis, and the employment and/or consulting relationship may be terminated at any time by either
Executive or the Company for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause. Any question as to
whether and when there has been a termination of such employment and/or consulting relationship,
and the cause of such termination, shall be determined by the Committee, and its determination
shall be final.

6. Notices. Any notices or other communications provided for in this Agreement shall
be sufficient if in writing. In the case of Executive, such notices or communications shall be
effectively delivered if hand delivered to Executive at his principal place of employment or if
sent by registered or certified mail to Executive at the last address Executive has filed with the
Company. In the case of the Company, such notices or communications shall be effectively delivered
if sent by registered or certified mail to the Company at its principal executive offices.

7. Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement and the documents incorporated by
reference herein replace and merge all previous agreements and discussions relating to the same or
similar subject matters between Executive and the Company and constitute the entire agreement
between Executive and the Company with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement; provided,
however, that the terms of this Agreement shall not modify and shall be subject to the terms and
conditions of any employment, consulting and/or severance agreement between the Company and
Executive in effect as of the date a determination is to be made under this Agreement. Without
limiting the scope of the preceding sentence, except as provided therein, all prior understandings
and agreements, if any, among the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof are hereby
null and void and of no further force and effect. Any modification of this Agreement shall be
effective only if it is in writing and signed by both Executive and an authorized officer of the
Company.

8. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
any successors to the Company and all persons lawfully claiming under Executive.

9. Controlling Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance
with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflicts of laws principles thereof.
