At DARCO Construction, we believe every space has the potential to become something extraordinary and that includes service centers. Our latest project in Mountain View showcases just that. What was once a traditional commercial office building is now being retrofitted into a full-service Hyundai Genesis service center, designed for peak efficiency, enhanced vehicle service, and elevated customer experience.
From Concept to Construction
This facility is not just a service center, it's a carefully planned transformation that brings together branding, structure, and customer functionality. The project began with a complete design overhaul about a year ago. After securing permits just two months ago, construction is now well underway.
A major part of the renovation includes the addition of two branded canopies at the entrance. These covered structures will feature Hyundai and Genesis branding elements like custom metal panels, stucco finishes, and colour signage all designed to give visitors a consistent brand experience from the moment they arrive.
Hyundai Genesis Service Center Mountain View: Enhancing Customer Experience Through Design
The Hyundai Genesis Service Center in Mountain View is undergoing a strategic renovation focused on both function and brand identity. With new canopies featuring branded materials and thoughtful architectural upgrades, the space is being transformed to create a seamless and elevated experience for customers from the moment they arrive.
Our team has carefully designed every aspect of the construction, from the service areas to the customer spaces, ensuring that the vehicle service center meets the needs of both the business and its customers. By focusing on creating a functional, brand-strong environment, we ensure this Mountain View car dealership provides a seamless experience for all who visit, leaving a lasting impression from the moment they arrive.
Customer-Centric Design
The front of the service center has been designed with with the goal of enhancing customer experience. Here, clients can talk to service advisors about their vehicle needs, check them in, and direct them to the comfortable waiting lounge. The space will also include restrooms and designated service desks to streamline communication and and ensuring a smoother experience for every type of customer. The new design makes it easier than ever for customers to buy their next vehicle, offering a seamless purchase experience from browsing to finalizing the sale.
Electric Vehicle-Ready
One of the most exciting features is the dedicated EV lab, which will house three bays specifically for Hyundai and Genesis electric vehicles. These areas will be equipped with charging stations and software update systems, reflecting the shift toward more software-focused vehicle maintenance. The addition of these advanced facilities aligns with the growing demand for electric cars, making it easy for owners to enjoy a seamless, high-tech service experience.
Full-Service Operation
The rear of the facility is where the heavy-duty work happens. With 14 bays, each outfitted with lifts and tool benches, technicians will be able to perform everything from oil changes to more complex repairs. Roll-up security doors ensure safety after hours, and a large parts room allows mechanics to access necessary components quickly.
From Office to Industrial: Changing the Game
Transforming this building required more than just physical construction. We also navigated the Title Use Permit (TUP) process to officially change the property's classification from commercial office space to an industrial service center, a process that took approximately six months. This transition reflects the evolving needs of Mountain View car dealerships and the growing demand for specialized spaces.
