A Look Inside the New Tillema Auto
Check out the blueprints for our new space! We're so excited that this remodel will add more square footage, more bays, more outdoor parking spaces, and more comfortable waiting areas for our customers.
These upgrades will allow us to improve efficiency for our customers and provide quicker turnaround times.
An Interview with Sam Tillema
Sam Tillema, Sales and Marketing Manager of Tillema Auto, shared with us some of his own thoughts about why this remodel is important for the company and the clients that they love. Listen in!
Q. Why did you decide to do the rebuild? Can you tell us a little about the vision behind the process?
A. "We decided to rebuild because we are pushing our limits in our current building and we wanted to offer a better experience to our customers.
In our current space we had approximately 3,000 sq. ft. This included a small waiting area, small office space for 3 employees, and 4 hoists. This means that we were only able to fit 4 or maybe 5 vehicles in the shop at any given time.
On top of this, the new shop will be much more efficient. The layout will boast a drive-in and drive out shop with 13 hoists installed!
This will not only increase efficiency but also turn around times for our customers. The new customer area will include waiting areas, a coffee bar, new office spaces for sales, and work areas for both customers and employees.”
Q. When is it scheduled to be completed?
A. “We're planning for February of 2024.”
Q. How will this rebuild allow you to serve your customers better?
A. “At Tillema Auto, our customers are like family. We want to provide them with the most efficient, valuable services possible while also moving quickly in order to get them where they need to go in a timely manner. The additional space and bays will help us to provide a comfortable experience for our customers while they're waiting, as well as allowing us to be more efficient and get vehicles serviced as quickly as possible.”
Q. How much more space will the rebuild provide?
A. “We'll be going from approximately 3,000 sq. ft. to 12,000 sq. ft.!
We'll also have 10 additional bays, so 14 total!”
Q. How can customers celebrate the new space with you?
A. “We'll be having a soft opening when the space is completed, and we plan to host an open-house style party to celebrate the new space as well. You can stay up to date on the celebration by following Tillema Auto on Facebook. Or, stop by and visit us!”
