Spring Honda celebrates growth

Prompted by increased demand, Spring Honda has just completed a major expansion of its service facilities at its Cranbrook-based dealership.

“2013 was a record-setting sales year for us at Spring Honda. We had an all-time record in sales, with over 300 new Honda vehicles sold; this meant we needed more space to service our customers properly and keep them on the road,” said David Spring, one of the dealer principals.

With the dramatic increase in Honda vehicles being sold in the East Kootenay, this prompted the expansion of the service bays by 1,800 square feet and the addition of four new service hoists. This allowed the Springs to look after their increasing number of customers more promptly, efficiently and with the quickest turn-around time possible.

Leiman Construction, a local building contractor, acted as the general contractor on the project. Both David and Corey Spring were impressed by the quality work done by the contractors and suppliers.

“We would like to thank everyone involved in the recent expansion of our service bays. We are pleased with the outcome and know it will help us service the needs of our customers even better,” said Corey Spring, the other dealer principal at Spring Honda.

The busy authorized Honda dealership now has 28 employees. With the expansion comes new employment opportunities, which include two new technicians, a service greeter, a parts adviser and a fixed-operations manager.

Since taking over the dealership in January of 2011, both Corey and David Spring feel their success and expansion have been a result of investing in their people, their customers and the community.

Spring Honda was the No. 1 selling import automobile dealership in the East Kootenay for the last two years. It’s Corey and David Spring’s commitment to continue to be a leader in the import automotive sector in the Kootenays—with a focus on their customers’ satisfaction by providing everyone at Spring Honda a winning automotive buying and service experience.
