We will be closed on July 4th in Observance of Independence Day!
By John Chauvin, General Manager
As each day, week and month go by – progress on our new building seems to take another step towards the finish line. Not that we’re all that close to completion, our time frame is still September, October but watching the workers doing their thing is fun and exciting when I go visit the site. They really get a lot done each day.
Our now “mega-expanded” service shop area is about 98% complete. There are a few small items still to finish but the technicians are back in the shop with lots of extra space, new equipment, new toolboxes, new breakroom, and fresh bright white paint all over. With all this fresh, clean, newness all around them, the technicians seem to really enjoy their workspace because I see smiles on their faces every day.
The service drive itself is being expanded to three-lanes. The service write-up area is being reconfigured in such a way that each advisor faces the drive. This allows for better visibility to help customers as soon as they pull in. We’re also adding restrooms to the customer waiting area for your convenience.
Showroom: What can I say, along with all of VW’s EV elements we’re adding, the actual size of the showroom itself will almost double. As you may have seen, the front of the building has been demolished and the iron support beams are going up. As I walk around, I can get a real feel for the actual size now that the perimeter beams and roof supports are in place.
With all the new Volkswagen EV elements we’re constructing, new furniture for the entire dealership, and a modern look from front to back, Hewlett Volkswagen is on track to be a flagship facility for the brand.
We feel like Georgetown and the entire Austin market is the perfect place to showcase this all-new Volkswagen facility and we really can’t wait for it to be complete and have you at our ribbon cutting. Stay tuned as we’ll announce those dates soon.
Of course, we’re still going strong at our temporary location (two doors down). Our turn rates on new cars have been so high that VW has awarded us with additional inventory. We now have more new and pre-owned vehicles than we’ve had in over two years. Come see us!
We look forward to serving you!
