The new dealership doubles the number of service bays and expands the parts department for a total of an additional 17,000 square feet
Albuquerque, N.M.—Following a 20-month, multi-million dollar renovation including ground-up construction, Lexus of Albuquerque officially unveiled its new, state-of-the-art dealership on Tuesday.
Lexus of Albuquerque is part of Houston-based Group 1 Automotive, Inc. , one of the country’s largest owners of automotive dealerships, franchises and collision centers.
“Everything from new speed doors that open up to an air-conditioned service drive-up, to solar-powered lot lighting, the addition of EV chargers, and new landscaping, we’ve focused on creating a premium customer experience,” said Mont Porter, general manager.
The previous dealership facility, which was 25 years old, no longer met the needs of customers and Lexus team members, according to Porter. The new dealership includes a new car wash, double the number of service bays from 16 to 32, and space to hire more service technicians, which Porter said he plans to expand to 30 from its current 21.
In total, more than 17,000 square feet of space has been added for parts and service, including relocating the parts department cashier to the front waiting area.
In Group 1’s tradition of giving back, Lexus of Albuquerque is making a $10,000 donation to Girls on the Run, a national 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that believes physical activity-based positive youth development programs can enhance girls’ social, emotional, and physical skills and behaviors to navigate life experiences successfully.
