Build Thread: NorthWest Auto Salon New Facility

NorthWest Auto Salon has been growing at an exponential rate over these few short years and we have quickly surpassed the capacity our current building allows. As many of you have have heard by now, NorthWest Auto Salon and Cats Exotics will be sharing a new facility in Lynnwood Washington opening this spring. This is really exciting for us because it is giving us the chance to build the detailing facility we have always dreamed of. Light tunnels, indoor wash bays, in ground lifts; this new facility will be state of the art in the detailing industry. We started with a brand new, completely empty, building so we had a blank slate in which to design the best facility possible. As we are planning on moving in in a few short months, I will be taking weekly trips to the new shop to get photos and update a build progress blog. Here are some photos of the current state of the new shop.

WEEK 1

Exterior



Interior








Week 2












And a sneak peek into whats happening nextdoor...






Hope you enjoy watching our dream come to life as much as we do!

Should be an impressive facility when it's done. Renderings would be cool to see.

This is going to be one awesome place.

I can see you will have your hands full right off the bat with all those dust covered cars.
