04-27 2D REPAIR FACILITY GUIDELINES NAPA has received many requests from its members regarding some ideas about setting up a new facility or remodeling their existing one. On the following pages you’ll find various two-dimensional layouts that may provide you with some ideas for your facility. An equipment legend is provided on the following page. Best Use The layout of your facility should include consideration of the type of services and specialties offered, customer and employee needs, as well as compliance with all codes. Your customer receiving and waiting area provides a good sales opportunity for accessories, so consider a merchandiser or some way to display various items that consumers need on a daily basis. A well thought out customer receiving/waiting area would include comfortable chairs/couches, television and phone, a complement center (coffee, water, soft drinks, etc.), if large enough, a children’s play area, an educational area with information/literature, very clean restrooms with a baby changing area in one or both. Some considerations for access to the Internet, such as DSL connections or WiFi Access would also be appealing. In addition, all customer areas should be handicapped accessible. A new facility could have a service advisory office (away from customer area, easy access for technicians), separate restrooms for technicians, lockers if space permits, a break/meeting room, parts room, storage/ supply room, small portable equipment room, as well as other offices. When considering your bays, most should have a lift, overhead electric, oil and air hose reels, computer workstation, technician workbench, parts washer and room for your technician toolboxes. If dedicating a bay to quick-lube services, this bay should be closest to your customer receiving area, as well as to the parts room to improve workflow efficiency. Timeline for Implementation – Varies by Facility Design Reviewing these layouts to provide you some ideas takes very little time. Designing and building or remodeling a facility obviously takes much longer. 2D Repair Facility Guidelines Summary If you like one of these layouts, provide a copy to your architect as a place to start and adjust accordingly based upon your business needs, lot size and configuration. This should provide your architect with a good start toward designing your new facility.
