Case Study
The Situation
Highlights of the facility include an 8-car showroom with a large collection of offices and cubicles for employees. Customers can relax in the 50-seat waiting area that is complimented by a fireplace, several TVs, and a live moss wall that extends into the showroom area. The 30-bay service area includes 18 Drive-Thru Service lanes, 3 Express Service lifts and 2 computer alignment stations.
Outcome
the final product
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.
