The new dealership incorporates many special features that proved to be both challenging and rewarding for the Munger team. Mr. Alvine’s passion for vintage Subaru vehicles is reflected in the new dealership layout and design. The new facility offers a unique opportunity to showcase his considerable collection. Munger worked with the Subaru design team and the architect to include a mezzanine over the showroom that displays several of the classic vehicles. A taller entry vestibule, that varied from the national Subaru design standards, was incorporated into the plans to allow an additional Subaru to be showcased. The store front glass system makes the entire showroom visible from Route 1. Additionally, an underground Radiant Heat System was installed under the service ride-up area, all sidewalks and sections of the interior. This system prevents any snow from accumulating which drastically reduces maintenance and liability in the winter.

Munger truly values the continued trust Premier Auto Group and President, Bob Alvine, put in our team. “Munger’s long-term relationship with Mr. Alvine is what means the most to us”, said David DeMaio, Munger president. “We are honored to once again have the opportunity to showcase Munger Services and Core Values through the completion of this prestigious and noteworthy project.”
