Planning a Auto Dealership Move

A dealership move is really three moves under one roof. The showroom holds sales desks, customer seating, and brochure stands around the cars. The finance offices hold workstations and deal files. The parts department holds shelving where every box has a bin address the counter staff know by heart. Three managers, three deadlines.

The cars are not part of our job, at any point. Your lot porters or the transport company you hire move every new, used, loaner, and customer vehicle, and our plan fits around their timetable. Once the floor is clear of cars, our crew takes the showroom furniture, the sales and finance offices, service reception, and the boxed parts. We walk each department with its manager first, label every desk to its new seat, and carry parts cartons in the order the parts manager’s receiving map calls for. Keys, deal jackets, and customer property stay with your staff throughout.

Who usually signs off: Dealer principal or general manager, with the parts manager and sales manager approving their department plans
Timing that works: After the final showroom day or across a weekend, set around the parts count and the dealer’s own vehicle-transfer schedule, with a second date held in late summer

What typically moves

Sales desks, pedestals, and guest chairs Tagged to the seat numbers on the new showroom plan, so each consultant sits down at their own desk.
Finance office workstations and file cabinets Moved by office; cabinets travel locked or emptied, as your finance manager chooses, and active deal files stay with staff.
Showroom brochure stands and display platforms Loose platforms and stands padded and placed after the vehicles are staged, not while cars are rolling.
Service reception counters and customer lounge Freestanding counter sections, lounge seating, and the coffee station wrapped separately and set before service check-in reopens.
Parts counter and catalog stations Counter sections labeled by station to the layout your parts manager chose.
Boxed parts from numbered bins Packed and labeled by your parts staff with old and new bin addresses; we carry cartons in receiving-map order.

Access and scheduling

The vehicle schedule sets the day. Porters or transporters usually clear the showroom and lot first, and our crew enters a floor with no cars moving across it. If inventory moves on Saturday, the offices and parts department can follow that evening or on Sunday, so sales and service lose as little time as possible. Tell us when the transporter arrives and leaves and which gate they use, and we keep our truck out of their path.

The parts department usually closes for a count before its stock moves. Your parts manager freezes the bin map, staff box and label by aisle, and we move shelving empty and stock afterward. A new building often has a bigger parts room, and new shelving there is the installer’s job, so we confirm the aisles are standing before cartons arrive. Late summer is storm season, and a lot crew moving inventory ahead of weather has no time for a relocation, so we hold a second date.

Protection and handling

Dealers keep a showroom floor spotless, so every cart path gets runners and every dolly has clean wheels. Glass showroom walls and doors get corner guards where desks and counters pass through. Sales desks travel blanket-wrapped with their pedestals, and finance cabinets ride upright and strapped.

Parts cartons are heavy and uneven. Brake rotors, drums, and boxed starters go into sturdy containers at a weight two people can carry, kept off the top of light filters or gaskets. Each carton carries its old and new bin address, so staff can shelve without opening it. Summer heat bakes an un-air-conditioned parts dock, so cartons stay inside until the truck is backed in. Your staff check quantities at the new shelves; our crew places and does not count.

Who does what

Some of this job belongs to other trades. The written plan names each one.

New, used, loaner, and customer vehicles: Your lot staff or a vehicle-transport company the dealer hires move every vehicle. Our crew does not drive, push, or load a car.
Parts count and the new bin map: Your parts manager runs the count, assigns new bin addresses, and checks stock at the destination; we carry cartons labeled to that map.
Dealership software, phone lines, and the network: Your technology provider moves and tests service. Our crew unhooks each consultant’s computer and monitors, pads them, and sets them up again on the same desk at the new building.

Not part of our work

Moving, driving, or repositioning any vehicle, on the floor or the lot.
Handling keys, key cabinets, deal jackets, titles, or registration paperwork.
Moving service-bay lifts, tire machines, or shop equipment, which go with the equipment vendor.

Around St. Johns County and Jacksonville

Northeast Florida dealerships sit along the main corridors: the Southside around Philips Hwy and J. Turner Butler Blvd, US-1 toward St. Augustine, and Orange Park in Clay County, often with large lots and a separate service drive. The transporter’s gate and our truck’s dock need separating on every site.

The crew that shows up

Packed boxes staged indoors partway through a move

Mover wheeling a hand truck of boxes along a walkway

Auto Dealership Moving FAQs

Another question? Call (904) 209-9277.

Will your crew move the cars on our showroom floor?

No. Your staff or a transport company you choose moves every vehicle, including display and customer cars. Give us the time they leave and the route they use, and we schedule the desks, platforms, and lounge around a floor that is already clear, with no cars moving while our crew works.

How should our parts staff label bins before you pack?

Put the old bin address and the new one on every carton, taken from a crosswalk your parts manager signs off. We carry to the new address. If a destination aisle isn’t built yet, those cartons go to a marked spot in the parts room until the installer finishes, so nothing gets shelved in the wrong place.

Can service stay open while the showroom moves?

Often, for part of it. Service reception and the lounge can move last, after the showroom and finance offices, so the service drive keeps writing repair orders until closing. Your service manager decides which day the drive closes, and we plan that department as its own step.

Do you move the service-bay lifts and tire machines?

No. Lifts are anchored and hydraulic, and they belong to the equipment installer along with tire changers, balancers, and alignment racks. We can move freestanding toolboxes the techs have emptied and the shop office furniture, once the installer has cleared the bays and the path is safe.
