Steve White Audi, a family-owned auto dealership, is constructing a new 22,000-square-foot, $5 million Audi sales and service facility in Greenville.
The new Audi Greenville will expand from its current location at 100 Duvall Drive near Laurens Road into an adjacent 4.8-acre parcel. The extra acreage will allow for increased inventory display and customer parking.
“Our current Audi showroom is 3,000 square feet and served us well for the past 10 years, but we are literally bursting at the seams with growth over the past few years,” said Marc White, who oversees operations at both the Volkswagen and Audi dealerships. “Our new 22,000-square-foot Audi facility will more than triple our showroom, parts and service capacities and will allow us to give the customer a truly exceptional experience.”
The dealership considers the Greenville facility a “flagship version” of Audi’s “terminal” design, a worldwide program. Features will include an eight-vehicle showroom, four separate customer waiting areas and laptop workstations that allow clients to wait while their vehicle is being serviced in a space that’s quiet, comfortable and functional.
The new state-of-the-art service and parts area will be air conditioned and equipped with the latest technology.
“This new facility will truly be unlike anything that can be found in Greenville luxury automobile dealerships. The other thing that’s exciting is that we’ve already added 10 new jobs in the past year to our Audi brand and expect the growth in employment to continue,” White added. Steve White Motors currently staffs approximately 70 employees at its Greenville location.
Construction is expected to start by the end of March. Completion and opening of the new facility is projected for the fouth quarter of this year.
