These structures include showroom-office and parts-service facilities. Because of the wide range in mix of facilities, (15 percent to 55 percent showroom) and qualities, it is best to price each area individually, using the appropriate showroom and service repair garage costs. The large open areas used for display typically have storefronts. There are also some office and storage areas next to the sales cubicles. The service area is designed primarily for vehicular repair and maintenance. Better qualities will have more showroom space.

The following are not included in the costs: Service equipment, hoists, office furnishings and equipment, or special signage.
