Happy Holidays!

This year, we put up a fun holiday display in the new showroom.  

Happy Holidays from your friends at Clason Buick GMC!

Sign Removal!

This week, the old "Ray Hutson" sign came down from the front of the building!

If you recall, we previously had a Clason banner over the top of it.

Here's an in progress shot

And now it's officially down!

Priming the New Shop

We're working away at the new building. This week, we pressure washed the walls of the shop.
Then we started priming the walls to get them ready for a fresh coat of paint.

We're bringing the building back to life and it is looking awesome!

Thanks to our fantastic staff for all their hard work on this project!

First Look: Shop

Our next, and last stop for now, is the shop.

All the lifts had been removed prior to the purchase of the building.

Off of the shop, there are a few side rooms; like this one which was used as a wash area.

Check back for more posts and announcements coming soon!

First Look: Parts Room

Our next stop on the before tour is the Parts Room.

We enter the parts area through this doorway,

into the Parts Retail room.

Then we continue on into the Parts Storage room.

It needs some cleaning as there were lots of boxes left behind, but look at all this open space!

First Look: Showroom

We know you're all eager to see what it looks like inside our new acquisition. And we aim to please!

But first, let's just preface this by saying that it needs some work. It has been empty for three years.

Our first (and only) stop for today is the showroom -

Entering through the west side showroom door, 

these offices are on your right,

and the main expanse of the showroom is ahead.

 Additional offices line the showroom floor.

Here's looking back from the east side showroom entrance.

It's very open with lots of windows and light to display our great products!

More Space!

How much new space are we talking about? 

Well, our current lot is 2.745 acres, while the new lot is 4.27 acres!

This overhead shot will give you a better idea of what we're working with since our acquisition of next door. At the top is the Clason Buick GMC building, and the bottom has the new property (former Hutson's dealership).

Our existing building is 17,010 square feet, 

Our current shop/Service Department

 while the new building is 32,987 square feet.

Shop / Service Department at new building

  Yes, that's a GMC Acadia way down there. This space is huge!

 

More Vehicle Display Room

Purchasing the property next door gives us the opportunity to spread out our vehicles on display.

Come check out our easy to access double lot! We've even recently added a driveway between the two lots so you don't have to go back on the street.

Exciting things are happening on the south side at Clason's!

Exciting Announcement!

June 22, 2012 - Clason Buick GMC is excited to announce the purchase of the former Ray Hutson building at 3232 Mormon Coulee Road. This purchase will allow us to expand and allow for an enhanced customer experience.

“We’re excited about this opportunity for expansion and are looking into ways to best utilize our current facility and the new facility,” said Steve Doll, General Manager. “This is an exciting time for our staff and customers!”

Clason Buick GMC is a locally owned family dealership that has serviced the La Crosse area since 1968. Ralph and Joyce Clason established the new and used car dealership at 4th and King, later moving to its present location in 1976.
