Galles Chevrolet

The Galles Chevrolet Building was a Design-Build project, developed to create an exceptional customer and service experience while integrating advanced automotive shop facilities. This state-of-the-art dealership includes not only a modern showroom but also expansive, fully equipped service bays designed to handle complex vehicle maintenance and repair. These shop areas provide a real-world automotive work environment, outfitted with industry-standard tools, vehicle lifts, and diagnostic equipment to support both skilled technicians and training opportunities.

Beyond the showroom and sales offices, the facility features a dedicated pre-owned car sales center, a well-stocked parts department, and an advanced service department where technicians perform everything from routine maintenance to full-scale mechanical repairs. The service area was designed with efficiency in mind, incorporating high-bay ceilings, reinforced flooring, specialized exhaust and ventilation systems, and a streamlined workflow to support professional technicians and hands-on learning experiences. The site was thoughtfully planned to enhance both customer accessibility and operational efficiency. Features include strategically placed vehicle access points, dedicated service drop-off areas, internal circulation drives, and ample parking to accommodate both customers and service operations. Secure storage areas house tools, equipment, and inventory, while a separate remote car wash facility ensures vehicle preparation and detailing, reinforcing real-world automotive service applications.

Visually, the building’s design reflects Chevrolet’s brand identity while emphasizing functionality. A bold, GM-prescribed blue metal panel frames the grand entrance, drawing visitors in. Inside, the showroom’s glass curtain wall floods the space with natural light, creating a welcoming environment. Meanwhile, the shop and service areas are designed for durability and efficiency, utilizing high-performance materials that withstand the demands of a working automotive facility. Every aspect of the Galles Chevrolet Building was designed to elevate both the customer and service experience, integrating modern automotive shop spaces that align with real-world trade applications.
