Opening Soon: Royal Oak Lexus (Win a VIP Detail!)

[rage2]

Got invited tonight to the Royal Oak Lexus sneak peek, looks to be a pretty cool setup they have going there. Didn't take long to find the place (their Google Maps directions sucks), it's located between the Honda and Toyota dealership right on the main road there. It's still heavily under construction, but got to see some of the things they're planning. They have a TV lounge, and a manicure and pedicure station being built right now to give owners a spa experience while they wait for your car to get serviced. Huge service bays and detail bays as well.

Royal Oak Lexus has generously donated a VIP Detailing Package for one lucky beyonder. All you have to do to enter is just be part of the discussion in this thread. We will choose a winner when the new dealership opens. Oh, and you don't need to own a Lexus to enter or use the detail package.

Some pics from tonight:

Looks like a very nice place.

[redevil]

Wow looks fancy. I was wondering when they would be opening up.

[schocker]

Looks pretty nice. Seems like they have almost taken as long as roku though..... :rofl:

[NoMoreG35]

I heard that they open on Feb 1st :eek:

[spikerS]

I am so in. The truck needs a good detailing soon!

[Team_Mclaren]

Awesome, much closer than Lexus of Calgary to get my RX serviced

[Quiet10]

This place looks good!

Doesn't Lexus pick up and drop off your car for free anyways?

[Team_Mclaren]

I bought mine from Lexus of Edmonton lol, do they still offer that service here?

[nobb]

Very nice! Enter me for the draw...I'd love to see what the Lexus experience is all about!

[jdmXSI]

Wow thats a great looking shop and it seems that Lexus seems to know how to pamper their clients!

[msommers]

Those are some nice bays. Dayum

[BokCh0y]

Love the Lexus tool boxes. Also love the fact this Lexus dealership actually has some size. The one in Deerfoot Meadows is small as fuck, over shadowed by ALL their neighbors.

[sxtasy]

Pretty crazy shop! Cool that Lexus is bringing something fresh to the service experience

[hamkered]

Will definitely have to check this place out!

[Sentry]

5 minutes from my place. :)

Those cabinets/toolboxes are pretty awesome.

I'd be down for a free detail... Or pedicure. :D

[top_speed]

They supply there techs toolboxes??

[That.Guy.S30]

Big Berta could use a good scrub.

That lexus looks pretty sick.

[yipb]

damn mani and pedi, are those gonna be free?

[TomcoPDR]

Beautiful building. :bigpimp: :burnout:

[drtoohotty1]

Awesome looking building, can I win the detail that way my wife's birthday present is covered :D

[mrsingh]

Really looking forward to the convenience of this location. Will it be the same owners as Lexus of Calgary, and will I be able to use the VIP service perks here?

[JustinMCS]

Yes! I just drove by this the other day and was looking through the windows. Very nice place they have.

Pretty common most new dealerships.

The boxes are generally shitty compared to mac/snapon boxes but they do the trick.

I have a box supplied for me at Toyota.

Different owner group for sure, Lexus of Calgary is in the same group as my shop.

[benyl]

My car need a cleaning.

AFAIK its the same group, which is Stampede Toyota?

[Sentry]

Must be then. Stampede, LoC, and Cochrane are in the same group.

[slinkie]

Looks very nice inside. I have a lexus that could use some detailing :angel:

[Tik-Tok]

Neat.

[know1edge]

same owners as Charlesglen

fuck 7 detail bays :nut:

[rage2]

The dealership is owned by the same owners of Charlesglen Toyota, located next door.

[A2VR6]

I was wondering when they would build another Lexus dealership as we have 2 Audi, 2 BMW, and 2 Mercedes dealers in Calgary.

Looks top notch!:thumbsup:

[K3RMiTdot]

and not a single asian...

[Sorath]

I want a free detail

[desto2para]

Nice, I wondering if they're hiring.

[egmilano]

:drool: lucky techs

[Nav13]

The black and white colour scheme in the shop looks boss.

[FraserB]

Crazy impressive shop and bays.

[muse017]

How are they going to keep that place clean>?????:nut: :nut:

[colsankey]

Opened this thread and 2 of Jordans... my first thought was MY GOD, what a huge house... then I snapped back to reality.

But sweet looking service bays anyways, glad im not the one who has to keep em clean however.

[MGCM]

does the VIP detail package come with the spa experience too ;)

[Mibz]

I want a free detailing.

[prosh]

It's about time, beats the 45 min drive in traffic to get down south to LoC

[Little Dragon]

Are spa/pedi treatments in that high of demand from Lexus owners?

[Commanderwiggin]

Looks very nice! I could use a detail ;)

[n1zm0]

Yeah, it would be in their best interest to hire one that speaks cantonese, immediately :rofl:

[Neil4Speed]

I'd like to apply :)

[Dope Dealer]

Very impressive! Looking forward to this dealership opening in the NW!

[eglove]

Saw a pic from mike Boldt yesterday. Looks like such a nice building!

[adidas]

Not sure what is so impressive about this buildings interior, then again I see some of the nicest things going up for construction in Calgary on a daily basis so that possibly ruins it.

Well yeah. It's a Lexus dealership not BMW/Mercedes.

[jwslam]

Looks like I won't be buying there anytime soon.

They don't have a token Chinese salesman to service my inner Chinaman.

But real asians go for top-of-the-line champagne colored camry's anyways.
:rofl:

[KRyn]

In it to win it.

That new Lexus dealership sure does look purdy! Hopefully they put a LFA in their show room!

[Squishy]

:eek: crazy! Spa experience. Wonder how that will do.

[SkiBum5.0]

I was wondering when the luxury brands would start cross selling luxury services. My thought was always a high end retail store near service - think airport style.

[ZeroGravity]

In for a free detail!

Wish I could afford other things from this place.

[Twin_Cam_Turbo]

In for the detail, been watching the building go up since they started, I always wash my car at the car wash across the street from the Nissan Dealer up there.

[heavyD]

Am I missing something? I don't see any pics of detailing bays?

[quick_scar]

I think the spa experience will really draw in the housewives. I can see it now:
"What are you doing tomorrow honey?"
"Taking the Lexus in for an oil change"
"Didn't it just get one last week?"


:rofl:

[rach]

im in

[rage2]

I didn't post pics of it. Still under construction. It's literally a big empty room right now.

[flipstah]

So is this in that far complex where Royal Oak Audi is settled?

That place needs street lighting.

[VTEXTC]

I'm in for the draw!

[01RedDX]

.

[icky2unk]

Great to see!

Should make it easier for a lot of people vs having only 1 location in town.

Was only a matter of time!

I can use a detail, might test drive a car at the same time.

One thing I like about Lexus showrooms, plenty of elbow room and a sales department that gives you room to look on your own. I was in the Volvo dealer a month ago, other than the sales person I was the only non asian on the floor. What is mandarin for "soccer mom"? The waiting area was full of 'em. It took me a few seconds to make the connection, too bad a Chinese company didn't by Saab as well.

[Strider]

Looks sweet
almost makes me want to buy a Lexus.

[Disoblige]

Cool stuff.

Why, do you drive without headlights at night? :rofl:

[clem24]

IN.

[TYMSMNY]

Great addition to Lexus of Calgary. Their customer service is TOP NOTCH!

That's BS. Whenever I go there for servicing, it's like being in IKEA.
Full of white people who loves to alpine ski or they don't want to miss their tea time.

Lol shaaadapp!

[B0BBYM]

Perhaps you're right, maybe I was at a Vulva dealership.

[HomespunLobster]

Well, I'll enter for the draw but my vehicle doesn't really deserve a detail of that magnitude. But my mom's could use a good clean!

[Skidro]

Looks like such an awesome dealership, I wonder how many people would need to work here to make it run effectively

[Evo prec]

In for the draw

[imranm]

IN FOR THE DRAW!

Thanks!

[dingmah]

Looks very similar to the one in South Edmonton. Although that one has an elevator showcase of stacked cars, and the lights change every 30 seconds.

It's the new Lexus corporate dealership design template. All new stores are going to look like this.

[hurrdurr]

That's impressive.

Is the Mani Pedi complementary? Asking for a friend... :devil:

[Redlyne_mr2]

Should be a great dealership

[G-ZUS]

:hitit:

[zipdoa]

:goflames:

[Xtrema]

In. Drove by there many times. Now all we need is Merc and Infiniti to come up here and we never had to go to the South.

[Asian_defender]

I wonder if my VIP status transfers over to this dealership...
Maybe they'll stock Mobil 1 when i request it

[heavyD]

This city needs a NW Subaru dealership as well as the two existing ones are both a joke IMO. Calgary Subaru feels like going to a small used car dealership.

[iron_man888]

nice addition to the neighborhood.. wonder if they will have a LFA I go drool over :drool:

[Darkenergy]

Looks nice, might finally go check out that champagne color!

[afrotl]

Nice set up....makes me want to buy a Lexus as my next ride.

[Dave P]

Heard nothing about great serivce from all Lexus dealerships.

[78si]

Beautiful! :love:

[roll_over]

In for a winning

[slick2404]

In for the contest!!

[NRGie]

It's crazy how fancy some dealerships are getting, the one in Edmonton has a golf simulator and massage parlour inside
