Sorry I missed you guys. I came the store and the area for the computers was not ready. I have to come back again.
Anyone else coming down let me know, and possibly I will be there. I am trying to get them to do something if you say you saw it on CL.

Out in the parking lot were some huge boxes that read "Sub-Zero". Still lots of hustle going on as workers were doing landscaping, other wiring and...
This place is absolutely HUGE. The lobby area is symmetrical and I shot only half of it. I thought I did the other side but I must have been blinded by all the black cars inside. (This would have been a great place to have a JP LS and GS.) Anyway, the north side lobby extends probably another 70' feet and has small "closer" offices.
I am looking forward to seeing the huge service bay and car wash. Maybe with the low profile wheels on the cars, they have adjusted the tracks (presuming they are using this system) so that curb rash won't be an issue with automated washes.
Funny observation during our lunch hour visit. Some guys from Fletcher Jones MB came in and picked up applications.
(I dunno if this is a good sign or not.

REVHARD191 and myself cruised down yesterday afternoon and checked the place out. It's awesome and puts shame to most dealerships I have been to! They have a restaurant coming and a putting green as well as a state of the art car wash that does up to 100 cars per hour!!! Here are some snaps from the phone cam....

As ocdavid said, we went out to check it out and I was simple blown away at the facility. Simply the best dealership I have ever been to, and looking forward to dealing with them in the near future.
I can't wait to see it when it is fully completed!
Cheers,

does anyone know anyone who is going to work in this dealership? Can they take our "lower" car with body kit????? I work just down the street and this will be a great place for me to take my car for service. Heck, if anyone has connection i may even do my next purchase there.

I wonder what they will have for the morning wait and lunch hour?
None of the dealers I've been at seem to duplicate their selections. Longo has the better beverage selection, Westminster has a nice selection of baked goodies and decent beverage selection, Cerritos has the ham, turkey and roast beef sandwhiches. The Ventura and Fremont weren't too impressive as was Eugene Oregon.
(Anytime I'm on the road, I try to stop in and check the dealers.
)

i just visited the dealership this afternoon. Very clean and classy throughout. Look for the gigantic cascading waterfall window near the entrance. it's huge! Best part of the trip, I got myself two new license plate frames from them. Very nice folks there. They say they should have everything up and done within less than a month! FYI ...
