Nobody buys a car in a building with fingerprints on the glass.
What it is
That is not a claim about capability, it is a description of the routes — enough stores that our crews have seen how a showroom ages, what February salt does to a service drive, and which floor finishes survive a Saturday.
A dealership is a retail showroom, a workshop and a waiting room sharing a roof, and each one fails differently. The showroom is judged on glass and floor — a customer walking the floor sees reflections, and reflections show every print and every haze. The service drive and bays are judged on grease, dust and safety.
The single most visible thing we do in a dealership is glass. Showroom walls are glass, the overhead doors are glass, the entries are glass, and all of it is at hand height for people leaning on it. This is one of the reasons dealerships tend to end up with our window crew on a scheduled program rather than an annual visit — interior and exterior, frames and tracks, on a frequency the building actually needs.
The second is the showroom floor. Polished concrete, porcelain tile and vinyl all sell cars differently, and all three are ruined by the wrong product. Salt in February does more damage in six weeks than traffic does in a year, and a showroom that gets scrubbed with the wrong chemical goes dull in a way that cannot be buffed back.
The third is the part most contracts skip: the service side. Bays, the service drive, the parts counter, the technician restrooms and break room. It is dirtier work and it is where your own staff spend their day, and a dealership that cleans only the front half is telling its technicians exactly where they rank.
What we clean
Showroom and customer areas
- Interior glass de-printed at hand height and full height, including partitions, display cases and overhead door glass
- Showroom floor cleaned to its type — polished concrete, tile or vinyl — with the product the floor can take
- Vehicle display areas cleaned around without touching the vehicles
- Desks, sales offices, counters and touch points wiped; trash and recycling out
- Entry mats and vestibules kept on top of, heavily in winter
Customer lounge, restrooms and amenities
- Lounge seating vacuumed and deep cleaned on a schedule — upholstery in a waiting room takes a beating
- Coffee and refreshment station cleaned and restocked if it is on the scope
- Restrooms cleaned and disinfected, dispensers restocked, floors done to the corners
- Children's area and any play surfaces disinfected
- TV screens, tables and touch points wiped
Service drive, bays and parts
- Service drive and write-up area cleaned and glass kept clear
- Bay floors swept and scrubbed to an agreed frequency; oil and grease handled with degreaser rather than pushed around
- Parts counter, parts storage aisles and back-counter areas
- Technician restrooms, locker areas and break room held to the same standard as the front of the building
- Waste and recycling handled; regulated waste left entirely to your staff
Scheduled and seasonal
- Window cleaning inside and out on a program — the highest-visibility recurring item in a dealership
- Power washing of the service drive apron, entries, sidewalks and dumpster area; salt and oil staining lifted
- Hard floors stripped and refinished where the finish calls for it
- High dusting, vents and light fittings on a rotation
- Post-winter deep clean, which in Iowa is the one that matters most
How service works here
Getting started
- Walkthrough covering the whole building — showroom, lounge, service drive, bays, parts and offices. We will ask about the floor type and what has been used on it.
- Written scope with frequencies, including which items are nightly, which are on a program and which are seasonal.
- Crew assigned, keyed and trained on your close-up and alarm procedure before the first unsupervised shift.
- Ongoing. Supervisor inspections against the scope, a named account manager, and a seasonal review in spring when the salt damage shows.
