AME Companies has supported Penske Automotive Group on dealership parts room projects across North America, helping create efficient, functional storage areas designed around inventory access, workflow, and long-term dealership operations.
As Penske Automotive Group continued expanding and refurbishing dealerships throughout the United States, the company needed a partner that could help develop parts rooms that were practical, cost-effective, and built around daily dealership use.
How AME Supported the Parts Storage Project
Parts departments are one of the most important support areas inside a dealership. When storage, counter access, inventory flow, and technician support are not planned correctly, the entire fixed operations side of the business can slow down. PAG needed parts rooms that could support efficient inventory handling while making the best possible use of available space.
The Challenge
Penske Automotive Group was growing quickly and needed consistent support across multiple dealership projects. Each location required a parts room layout that could work with the facility, support dealership staff, and provide the right balance of storage capacity, accessibility, and operational efficiency.
The goal was not simply to add shelving or cabinets. The parts rooms needed to be planned as working departments that supported the dealership’s service operation and helped employees locate, manage, and move inventory more efficiently.
AME’s Role
AME worked with PAG executives, architects, contractors, and dealership teams to help design and support parts rooms for Honda dealership projects and other locations across the Penske network.
Our involvement included:
- Parts room design support
- Storage system planning
- Shelving, bin, and drawer system coordination
- Inventory access and workflow considerations
- Coordination with architects and contractors
- Support for dealership refurbishment and new build projects
- Fixed operations storage planning
- Parts department efficiency improvements
By working with project stakeholders early, AME helped each dealership make better use of available space while supporting the way the parts department needed to function day to day.
A Longstanding Relationship with Penske
Since beginning work with Penske Automotive Group in 2001, AME has supported more than 200 projects for PAG. That long-term relationship reflects AME’s ability to work across dealership facilities, coordinate with multiple stakeholders, and provide practical fixed operations solutions that support both the dealership and the people using the space every day.
For AME, successful parts room projects are about more than storage. They are about helping dealerships create organized, efficient support areas that contribute to stronger service department performance and better facility operations.
Supporting Smarter Dealership Parts Departments
The Honda dealership parts room projects show how thoughtful storage planning can improve the way a dealership functions behind the scenes. With the right layout, storage systems, and coordination, parts departments can become easier to manage, more efficient for employees, and better connected to the dealership’s fixed operations workflow.
AME continues to help dealership groups plan, equip, install, and support parts rooms and fixed operations spaces built around real dealership needs.
