Showroom Tile is Here!

This week, the showroom tile arrived!

It's sitting in the shop ready to go! However, it will be one of the last things to be installed after the sheetrock is done and the ceiling and walls are painted. We don’t want any paint drips!

The showroom floor is going to be really unique and mirror the hub and spoke pattern of the showroom and ceiling. Here’s the preliminary layout –

 

GM has set colors that we can use for all finishes in customer areas. The colors for the floor tile will be tan and brown.

We can't wait for this to go in!

Working on the Entrance Element

We continue working on the exterior for our grand entryway to the showroom. Buick GMC has a required entrance element for all dealerships. This entrance element needs to be up against a 40 foot flat section of the building. Since we didn't originally have that with the unique shape of the showroom, we had to make one. 

 

Then we made the rest of the sides into 40 foot sections for uniformity.

All done!

 

Inside, they continued working on the electrical in the floor for the workstations. This makes it so we don't have to drop electrical down from the ceilings.

New Doors & Facade Work

A few updates on our remodel project. Remember when we cut a giant whole in our building? Now we have doors!

We also replaced the front door with one that has windows to let in lots of daylight!

Inside, they made some holes in the floor and removed concrete to make way for power, phone and data to the Service Advisor podiums.

Back outside, the crew removed the old front panels to make way for the new front.

 and started working on the new front by putting up trusses.

And we even had our first customer pay oil change completed in the new building by our tech Brian when we were full over at the dealership.

We can't wait for the day when we're moved in and ALL our oil changes will be completed at the new building!
