Transforming Berlin City Nissan: A Modernized Dealership Experience

Jewett Construction partnered with Berlin City Nissan to deliver a transformative dealership renovation, bringing the facility up to the latest Nissan Ready Light Program standards. Located in Portland, ME, this comprehensive project involved a complete interior and exterior redesign, service center expansion, and upgraded mechanical systems to enhance both customer experience and operational efficiency.

With a strong focus on functionality and brand consistency, this renovation aligns Berlin City Nissan with Nissan’s corporate identity while optimizing its service capabilities. From modernized customer areas to an enhanced vehicle service drive, every aspect of this facility was strategically designed to create a seamless experience for customers and employees alike.

Upgrading the Exterior for Brand Cohesion

The dealership's exterior was completely revamped to reflect the updated Nissan Ready Light Program. One of the most striking elements of the redesign was the installation of the Nissan Ready Light Wall—a sleek, illuminated architectural feature that proudly displays the Berlin City Nissan name.

Other key exterior upgrades included:

  • Facade Overhaul: The dealership’s facade was reconstructed with Nissan’s signature modern design elements, including aluminum composite panels, updated signage, and new branding features.
  • Enhanced Entryways: The entrance was redesigned to create a more inviting first impression, with high-quality finishes and a bold, recognizable Nissan aesthetic.
  • Improved Parking and Traffic Flow: The parking lot layout was adjusted to streamline vehicle movement, improving accessibility for customers and service vehicles.

These enhancements not only elevate the dealership’s curb appeal but also reinforce Berlin City Nissan’s commitment to providing a world-class experience for its customers.

A Customer-Focused Showroom Redesign

The interior showroom underwent a complete transformation to align with Nissan’s latest design requirements. This renovation focused on enhancing the customer experience by making the space more welcoming, efficient, and technologically advanced.

Some of the key showroom improvements included:

  • Open-Concept Layout: The showroom was restructured to provide a more open and spacious environment, allowing customers to explore Nissan’s lineup comfortably.
  • Premium Finishes: High-end flooring, modern lighting fixtures, and stylish accent walls were incorporated to create a sleek, contemporary atmosphere.
  • Dedicated Vehicle Delivery Area: A new delivery space was designed to give customers a more personalized vehicle pickup experience, complete with detailed feature walkthroughs by Vehicle Delivery Specialists.

By integrating these design elements, Berlin City Nissan now offers a showroom experience that is both engaging and brand-consistent, setting a new standard for customer interactions.

Expanding the Service Center for Maximum Efficiency

A major component of this renovation was the expansion of Berlin City Nissan’s service center. As customer demand for vehicle maintenance and repairs continues to grow, ensuring a state-of-the-art service facility was a top priority.

Key service center upgrades included:

  • New Vehicle Service Drive Area: The addition of a streamlined service drive allows Nissan owners to receive quick and efficient maintenance consultations upon arrival.
  • Expanded Work Bays: The service center now features additional work bays, providing technicians with more space to perform maintenance and repairs efficiently.
  • Advanced Diagnostic Equipment: The facility was upgraded with cutting-edge diagnostic tools to ensure that Berlin City Nissan stays ahead of modern vehicle technology.

With these improvements, Berlin City Nissan’s service department can handle a higher volume of customers while maintaining the high standards of efficiency and quality that Nissan owners expect.

Enhanced Customer Lounge and Waiting Areas

Jewett Construction placed a strong emphasis on creating a comfortable and welcoming environment for customers waiting for their vehicles. The updated customer lounge features:

  • Modern Seating Areas: Comfortable, well-spaced seating allows customers to relax while their vehicles are being serviced.
  • Technology Integration: Charging stations, free Wi-Fi, and digital displays keep customers connected and entertained.
  • Complimentary Refreshments: A new refreshment station offers complimentary beverages and snacks for customers.

These upgrades ensure that Berlin City Nissan’s customers enjoy a stress-free and enjoyable experience during their visits.

Upgrading Mechanical and Electrical Systems

To complement the dealership’s visual upgrades, significant improvements were also made to its mechanical and electrical systems. These updates enhance energy efficiency, improve building functionality, and ensure long-term operational reliability.

Key mechanical and electrical upgrades included:

  • LED Lighting Systems: Energy-efficient LED lighting was installed throughout the facility, reducing energy consumption and improving visibility.
  • HVAC System Overhaul: A new climate control system ensures optimal comfort for customers and employees year-round.
  • Advanced Electrical Infrastructure: Upgraded electrical systems support the growing demands of modern automotive technology.

By modernizing these essential systems, Berlin City Nissan is now better equipped to serve its customers efficiently and sustainably.

Ensuring a Seamless Construction Process

Executing a large-scale renovation while keeping the dealership operational required careful planning and coordination. Jewett Construction worked closely with Berlin City Nissan to minimize disruptions to daily operations.

Key project management strategies included:

  • Phased Construction Schedule: Work was completed in stages to allow the dealership to remain open and fully functional throughout the renovation.
  • Strict Safety Protocols: Ensuring the safety of customers, employees, and construction crews was a top priority.
  • Efficient Communication: Regular progress updates and coordination meetings ensured a smooth workflow.

Through this strategic approach, Jewett Construction successfully delivered a high-quality renovation with minimal impact on dealership operations.

A Dealership Ready for the Future

The renovation of Berlin City Nissan represents a significant investment in the future of the dealership. By modernizing the facility, expanding service capabilities, and enhancing customer experience, this project ensures that Berlin City Nissan remains a leader in the Portland, ME automotive market.

Key long-term benefits include:

  • Stronger Brand Presence: The updated design reinforces Nissan’s corporate identity and enhances brand recognition.
  • Improved Customer Satisfaction: Upgraded amenities create a more enjoyable experience for customers.
  • Increased Service Capacity: The expanded service center allows for greater efficiency and faster turnaround times.
  • Energy Efficiency and Sustainability: Modern systems reduce operational costs and environmental impact.
