How to Meet Corporate Standards While Maximizing Your Investment
Automotive manufacturers continue to invest heavily in dealership facility image programs to create consistent brand experiences for customers. Whether it’s Ford, GM, Stellantis, Toyota, or emerging EV manufacturers, dealership owners are being asked to modernize their facilities to meet evolving corporate standards focused on technology integration, customer experience, and brand identity.
These programs often involve showroom renovations, façade upgrades, service lane improvements, customer lounge enhancements, and updated exterior branding elements. While the requirements may appear straightforward, successfully navigating corporate approval processes, budgeting, and construction timelines requires experience.
Wolgast Corporation brings decades of expertise in automotive dealership design and construction, including flagship facilities, renovations, and phased remodels that allow dealerships to remain operational during construction.
Experience with Corporate Image Programs
Corporate facility programs come with detailed design standards, approval protocols, and compliance requirements. Wolgast understands how to interpret manufacturer guidelines while still protecting the dealer’s investment and operational needs.

Manufacturer programs establish standards, but every dealership has unique priorities, budgets, and site conditions. Achieving the right balance sometimes requires coordination and negotiation.
Wolgast works collaboratively with both the dealer and manufacturer to clarify requirements and approval expectations, identify cost-effective alternatives that meet brand standards, optimize building functionality for sales and service operations, and deliver a facility that enhances customer experience and profitability.
After all, dealership facilities are more than buildings, they are sales environments designed to attract customers and drive revenue. A modern, branded facility can increase customer confidence, improve employee morale, and support higher sales performance.
