Open Road Auto Group, the 36th-largest dealership group in the United States last year, opened two side-by-side dealerships in 2012 on Manhattan’s fashionable 11th Avenue strip.

The group established both a Volkswagen and Audi dealer with a considerable investment of $135 million. In order to survive and make money, the group has added a feature that is proving irresistible to new and old customers: free valet parking.

As we all know, finding parking in Manhattan is like finding four-leaf clover. This service has proven key in the dealerships’ success. In fact, some customers have “abused” of the service but employees carry on with a smile.

This is but one example of dealerships and makes striving to make the ownership experience as good as possible. Concierge services are becoming common and not only for luxury brands.
