Renovation Updates
Sunnyside Acura has embarked on a major renovation of the entire dealership. We will be open during the renovation of the current building and the construction of the service department addition. Once complete, we will have a facility that exceeds the needs of our clients and provides room for growth.
To make it easier for our clients during construction we have:
- Added vehicles to our Acura Service Loaner Fleet (35 vehicles available)
- Extended our Service Department Hours
- Put a focus on Acura Accelerated Service with open availability for minor maintenance without appointments
Throughout the renovation process we will keep you up to date with renovation updates via postings to this page and to our Facebook Page.
Here’s a few of the areas that we’re looking forward to improving/adding:
- Drive-Through Service Lanes
- New Client waiting areas (separate quiet area with room to work as well)
- Vehicle Spa (advanced vehicle cleaning system with a hands-on touch)
- Expansive showroom with room to display additional Acura vehicles
- New showroom design and workflow for client visits (think boutique style seating/work areas)
