Tours of the new facility will take place immediately after the ribbon cutting showcasing the latest in General Motors branded showroom architecture, indoor delivery area, dealership support offices, customer lounge, heated service drive, full stocked parts and accessories department and the state of the art Service Center.

“What we have in the new service department is pretty much tech talk, “stated Service Director Don Volk, “but bottom line – it means diagnosing, repairing and maintaining our customers vehicles in the most time and cost efficient manner possible.”

“Montana IS truck country and General Motors has been pleased with our representation of the GMC and Cadillac lines,” added Mr. Zabawa, “They are not only supporting us financially in this expansion but have also pledged additional inventory in recognition of Billings as a major regional automotive shopping hub.”

With the continued expansion of Billings’ west side, the new Rimrock GMC Cadillac dealership will be in the heart of that growth directly across from Shiloh Crossing and the new Scheel’s destination store – as well as being located on the west end entry point to King Avenue’s regionally renown “Auto Row”.

“And we will be “GREEN”, continued Zabawa. “Our outside lighting alone is the talk of the industry right now. More light. Less environmental impact.”

GMC was the first franchise the Rimrock Auto Group acquired 20 years ago. They had been in the same building for 2 decades at 2540 Phyllis separated from their service department half a block away. “We told our architects that the sales and service environments for modern dealerships now need to be integrated. Customers like to be more involved in the service process as well as being in touch with evolving automotive technology. “added Mr. Soares, “Our new facility now showcases the future of automobile retailing. GMC’s professional grade brand identity and Cadillac’s luxury identity are instantly recognizable in the design. We also will be recognizing the local architects and local builders and suppliers who had a hand in this amazing new dealership.”

The Grand Opening will continue the month of March featuring BBQs, Grand Prize Giveaways and an integrated tie-in benefiting ZooMontana.
