A state-of-the-art 10 bay main BMW dealer workshop
Part of a £4.5m redevelopment, Lookers sought to increase the capacity and ‘future-proof’ their BMW MINI Crewe service centre workshop to accommodate a growing customer base and evolving vehicle requirements. CCS and Dura designed and delivered a bespoke 10-bay workshop with integrated features that enable growth for the premium brand.
The layout of the workshop had to utilise all the available space, delivering the highest number of workbays with a smooth, clean workflow, enabling vehicle movement without restriction. It was essential that the final product matched the brand’s Corporate Identity; more than just looking and feeling premium, it needed to deliver immediately and for years to come, when customer volumes increase, and vehicle requirements evolve.
The workshop was further enhanced with both integrated and flexible features; each bay features integrated data, power and services, including compressed air and lubrication systems within the cabinets. Whilst enhancing the professionalism of the workspace, incorporating these systems greatly increases the safety and efficiency of the space.
Within the tall tambour door units are built-in EV charging docks, further future proofing the design. Utilising roller door fronts allow chargers and cabling to be neatly and securely stored away without doors intruding on the space when in use.
Technicians now have a great – and safe – space to work, with the ultra modern design fully utilising the space available. Mobile features enabled both comfortable and flexible benefits, avoiding any workbays getting blocked with jobs requiring more time or awaiting parts. Whilst customers will rarely see the space, it remains to the premium brands’ specification, keeping workshops consistent with customer expectations. BMW MINI Crewe’s workshop is compliant, contemporary and in tune with brand specification to facilitate dealership growth.
