Sonic Mercedes McKinney

Inside, a three-platform vehicle lift displays Mercedes models across the second story of the showroom. Visible architectural steel elements and spiral ductwork give the dealership an industrial appeal. Top-of-the-line-luxury is exuded by the high-end finishes, suspended wood paneling cloud accents, polished ceramic floor tiling, and comfortable furnishings.

An accommodating service department provides a fully conditioned service drive, a customer drop-off area, a 27-bay service shop, 4 detail bays, a new-car delivery area, and used-car appraisal bays — all of which feature full-vision, high-speed Rytec roll-up doors and clinker-tile flooring. The parts department of Sonic Mercedes McKinney implements radio frequency identification (RFID) technology for processing inventory.

Sonic’s drive to stay ahead of their online clientele is further enhanced by incorporating a 1,015-SF photo booth area, which enables them to upload 360-degree views of all the vehicles in their inventory to digital image galleries on their website. A complete LED package offers an element of sustainability in the showroom, service department, and across the entire site. Site work includes heavy-duty concrete paving, a dumpster enclosure with tire storage, and an integrated automatic drive-thru car wash.
