Auto Dealerships and Service Bays
A showroom that smells like the shop costs sales. The fix is usually in the pressure relationship, not the air freshener.

Two very different environments
Showrooms are glass-heavy, high-volume and judged on comfort and smell. Service bays produce exhaust particulate, brake and tire dust, solvent vapor and welding fume. They frequently share a building envelope and sometimes share air paths.
Stopping migration
The complaint is nearly always shop odor in the showroom or customer lounge. The cause is usually a pressure relationship that pulls bay air toward the front of house. Cleaning the supply system helps, but the bay exhaust and door discipline are where the problem is actually solved.
What we service
Showroom and office supply and return systems, customer lounge units, parts and service-office systems, and the bay ventilation and exhaust. Work is scheduled around service hours so bays stay productive.
Common questions
- Can this be done during business hours?
- Front-of-house work is usually after close; bay work can often run during off-peak service hours.
- How often do dealerships need service?
- Typically every one to three years, with bay systems on the shorter end.
- Does this help the customer lounge smell?
- Yes, when combined with correcting the pressure and door behavior that carries shop air forward.
