Hyundai Dealership

What They Asked For

The client required a complete external refurbishment package for a live Hyundai dealership. The building’s exterior had weathered over time and needed restoration to meet the brand’s high presentation standards.

The scope of work included:

• Commercial pressure washing of all external surfaces
• Cladding re-coating across all elevations
• Full external decoration works.

All work needed to be completed while the dealership remained fully operational, too. This meant working around customer visits, vehicle deliveries, test drives, and the constant movement of staff and vehicles across the forecourt.

What We Did

ACS carried out a full external transformation of the dealership. The project restored the building’s appearance through specialist cleaning, protective coatings, and comprehensive decoration works.

We began with thorough commercial pressure washing across all external surfaces because years of road dirt and weathering had dulled the building’s appearance. Our industrial-grade cleaning equipment removed all contaminants and prepared surfaces for the coating works that followed.

The cladding re-coating programme addressed all external panels. We applied high-performance coating systems that restore colour, provide weather protection, and extend the lifespan of the cladding. This modern coating technology offers superior durability compared to original finishes, which means the dealership also benefits from better long-term performance.

Once this was complete, the external decoration work completed the transformation. We treated all metalwork, fascias, and architectural details to create a uniform, professional finish across the entire building. This comprehensive approach meant every visible element received the attention it needed, not just the obvious problem areas.

Throughout the project, the dealership remained fully operational. Customers continued to visit the showroom, vehicles were displayed on the forecourt, and sales activity proceeded as normal.

Our team of expert operatives worked around these activities to deliver the refurbishment without impacting the client’s business.

How We Did It

Working in a live car forecourt environment required careful planning from the outset. As such, vehicle movement, customer parking, and access to the showroom all needed to be maintained throughout the project.

Strong communication, therefore, proved essential, and we coordinated daily with the dealership management team to understand their operational priorities and schedule our activities accordingly. When important customer appointments or vehicle handovers were planned, we adjusted our work areas to keep those zones clear and accessible.

Safety was also paramount in this environment. Car forecourts present unique hazards with constant vehicle movements, customer foot traffic, and the proximity of working at height due to public areas. We therefore implemented strict safety procedures, used clear barriers and signage, and maintained controlled working zones at all times.

The project was delivered efficiently through experienced site supervision. Our team understands how to work in retail environments where appearance and customer experience matter. As a result, we kept work areas clean and tidy, minimised noise during busy time periods, and maintained a professional presence throughout.

Attention to detail also made the difference between adequate work and excellent results. We made sure that clean edges on all coating work protected vehicles and customer areas from overspray. We also inspected every section before considering it complete. This methodical approach delivered the high-quality finish the client expected.

The Result

The dealership exterior was completely refreshed and modernised. The building now presents a clean, professional appearance that reflects well on the Hyundai brand and creates a positive impression for customers visiting the forecourt.

Key outcomes included:

• Refreshed and modernised dealership exterior across all visible areas
• Minimal disruption to the client’s daily operations and sales activities
• High-quality finish delivered across all external areas
• Protected cladding that will resist weathering and maintain appearance
• Zero incidents or customer complaints throughout the project
• Positive client feedback on both workmanship and professionalism
• Improved overall appearance and presentation of the dealership.

The successful delivery demonstrated ACS Coatings’ capability to manage commercial refurbishment works in live retail environments. Our ability to maintain quality standards while working around operational constraints made this project a success for both the client and their customers.
