Auto Dealership Moving in the Sacramento Valley

At a dealership the lot is busy with more than customers. Transport trucks drop inventory, porters shuttle cars to detail, and the service drive fills first thing. We ask your general manager for a loading spot that stays clear of the delivery lane and the service drive, and for the times the showroom doors can be propped without cars being moved through them.

The usual rhythm is to move sales after close on a Saturday and have it working on Monday, while fixed operations moves on a quieter day agreed with the service and parts managers. Parts often runs a small will-call shelf at the old building until the last repair orders close.

If the new building is still under a manufacturer image program or final build-out, the contractor's released areas decide what we can set first.

A showroom floor shows every dolly track, whether it is sealed concrete or polished tile, which is why we lay protective runners along the route and use padded dollies. Glass entry doors and display walls get corner protection where furniture passes. Reception and closing-office furniture is pad-wrapped, since brand-standard pieces are hard to match if one is scratched.

In the parts department, labeling does the protecting. Your parts staff marks each carton with the bin it left and the bin it is going to, dense stock such as rotors and brake drums goes into small cartons, and heavy cartons ride low. We place shelving first, then stage cartons at their aisle so your staff can check them in.

Deal jackets, titles, key cabinets and the key-control system stay with your managers. We move the cabinets your staff has emptied or locked, not their contents.
