MOUNTAIN SKI LODGE IN TEXAS

By James Cole

Have you seen the large mountain ski lodge or Yellowstone type ranch house, on IH 10 , in the Dominion/Leon Springs area? Everyone who passed by during construction watched the progress day by day, wondering and admiring this beautiful building. What could it be? Is it a business or someone’s  grand home?

Well it turned out to be the most unique LEXUS dealership ever built. It’s not a cookie cutter dealership. OH,NO! There is not another dealership like this in the world. It’s one of a kind and right here in San Antonio. Even the Lexus corporate leadership was and is still amazed at the workmanship, exclusive style and detail that went into building our Lexus dealership. They loved it and it received their five star approval. It was built with you, your family and neighbors in mind. If you’re one of our customers you know exactly what I’m talking about. If you’re not then you need to come by, relax, and take a look. You will agree.

All of us are familiar with the saying “Not all things are created equal!”

This is a phrase I have heard over and over for many years especially in the auto industry. After being a part of the Kahlig Automotive Group, in San Antonio,  for almost 30 years, I now know for certain, that all auto dealers are definitely far from being created equal. You know exactly what I mean. We, at the Kahlig Automotive Group, first of all,  are blessed to be a locally owned family company. The entire group of dealerships are employee centered with a lot of your friends and family working with us for many years. But most of all, we are a customer, meaning you, serving group of dealers. Kahlig automotive firmly believes that faith and family are the cornerstones to creating a great business and an impeccable guest experience. This is why this specific dealership was built. For example,  our employees are very very proud of the customer service they provide and take great pride in providing you a buying and servicing experience that would rival any fine, five star, hotel in the world. We truly value each and every client we serve!

It’s a family atmosphere! That’s the company philosophy from top to bottom.

North Park Lexus at Dominion officially became a part of the great northwest IH-10 community in December of 2014. Our customers live near by and extend all the way up into theTexas Hill Country. This dealership, which is a one-of-a-kind resort-style facility, was able to sell and service the very first cars  within the very first month of operations! That is normally unheard of in the auto industry, especially South Texas.

AMBIANCE….let’s talk about it!

This Lexus facility was designed and built to replicate one of the finest mountain lodges that you would find in Telluride or Aspen Colorado.

Every item inside and outside of the dealership to the smallest detail was with you in mind. Starting with the huge antler chandeliers, the gorgeous large cedar beams, the rugged stone columns, and not one but seven fireplaces, that’s right,  seven inside and out – provide a one-of-a-kind feeling as you enter our facility. As you approach the building, you are greeted by two beautiful, serene ponds, one on each side of the entry, complete with flowering lilies, waterfalls  and striking landscape features.

You probably will choose to spend some time outside in the serenity close to one of our outdoor seating areas, which also includes one  of those gorgeous wood-burning fireplaces.

I think, however, when you enter the main door, your first impression is a big WOW! You will immediately enjoy stepping inside our Lexus lodge “resort!” There is so much to see and enjoy.

As you enter our two grand, solid-wood double-doors, you’re welcomed by our towering ceilings, the antler chandeliers, and of course, our friendly receptionists. You can expect a big smile and a warm welcome! At North Park Lexus at Dominion, they believe when you purchase and own a Lexus it should not and never is  just a transaction – we want it to be and it should be an experience that occurs each time you come to see us. We aim to provide a wonderful, luxurious experience every time you walk through our doors. You deserve only the best and that is our attitude toward you every day! The best for the best!

Now listen to this and check out these amenities that are yours for the taking. It’s unlike any other dealership that you may have been to in the past. Let’s start off your visit and introduce you to our professional baristas, with a complimentary, full-service Starbucks coffee bar. Have a  perfectly made cappuccino, latte, or a freshly ground hot cup of coffee. How about a warm, freshly-baked cookie or hot popcorn made right in front of your eyes? There are candies, trail-mixes, and additional snacks at no charge to you for our  guests and your families. So, order a hot drink and a warm cookie and then you can cozy up next to another one of our wood-burning fireplaces. If you desire something else, we host a complimentary nail salon service, unheard of right? Wait, how about a large, unbelievable chair massage experience, and in addition, have your shoes shined.

The object is to keep you feeling as relaxed, looking your best and blissful as you deserve. Soft plush sofas and chairs invite to sit and visit with others. Still not impressed? How about some boutique shopping!

A short walk across our service drive and you’ll spend some time shopping in our large, unique boutique. Take your time and browse and you’ll find hand selected items and maybe a gift idea, especially for yourself. Remember you deserve it! Now, while you’re shopping, you can also visit our Lexus Café as well! Another café? Yep, very chic and enjoyable.

It’s obvious at North Park Lexus at Dominion, everyone’s goal is to treat you as if you were a welcomed guest in our own home. In addition to our numerous, comfortable lobby areas, did I mention, we offer a children’s cove for your little ones as well! Again, we’re taking care of your needs and making your visit as stress free as possible.
