“Our team is excited to fully explore the Korean concept of ‘Son-nim,’ which means ‘honored guest,’ in a space specifically designed for that purpose,” said David McHone, general manager of the dealership. “Plus our dedicated Genesis technicians will bring their expertise to a new state-of-the-art service department, complete with luxury customer lounge and a full view of the shop where technicians are meticulously repairing or maintaining the vehicles.” An expansive showroom also hosts an area to display the entire Genesis lineup.
