NorthStar GM gets a makeover

by Marie Milner — February 19, 2014

NorthStar GM in Cranbrook now has an additional 5,800 square feet of service-related space, including a service drive through (a blessing on wet or frigid days), a quick-lube service bay and a car wash.

The expansion was undertaken as a needed spin-off when plans were made to update the dealership’s exterior in compliance with the new General Motors image program. NorthStar owner Derek Spring said vehicles will get washed and vacuumed each time they are brought in for service, and that the drive through will be in use full time by the end of February.
