Jewett Automotive Design & Construction has recently been awarded a contract to build an addition at Route 44 Hyundai, located at 1154 Rte. 44. Construction will be complete by May of 2011.
Denise Bruno, the only female Hyundai dealer on the East coast, is excited by the project. "I'm so proud of our team," said Bruno. "Since we have been in business we have grown to be the # 1 Hyundai dealer in sales in all of New England and in the top 25 in the country."
Bruno attributes the tremendous growth to the philosophy of the dealership, which is to "treat the customers like members of the family," and Hyundai's exceptional products and warranty.
Bruno's brothers and business partners Michael and Bob Barboza explain that the new project will be a 14,000 s/f addition that will add a showroom and a more comfortable customer service area, designed to enhance the customer experience. In addition to the new drop-off and waiting areas, the customer service area will include amenities such as a coffee bar and a children's play area. Improvements to the lot will include new concrete sidewalks and re-grading and asphalt pavement. "It's all about taking care our customers, making sure they have a comfortable, safe and efficient experience every time they visit our dealership," says Bob Barboza, supervisor for the project.
As construction will take place during normal business hours, traffic will be re-directed to the temporary sales building. The dealership will remain open for business during construction.
