Car Dealership Christmas Lighting in Lewisville, TX

A Lewisville dealership is a freeway business. Nearly every franchised store in the city has a Stemmons Freeway address, which is the local name for Interstate 35E, and the heaviest concentration is on South Stemmons near the State Highway 121 and Corporate Drive exits. Toyota, Nissan and Mitsubishi are on one side of the freeway and Chevrolet is on the other, with Volkswagen and a Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram store a little farther north.

Christmas Decor by Carruthers Decorative Lighting provides holiday lighting for these stores as a full-season service: design, installation, maintenance while the display is up, removal and storage. The dealership leases commercial-grade LED lighting that is cut to its own building and owns none of it.

The audience is the Denton County commuter. Interstate 35E carries drivers between Denton and Dallas in both directions every day, and the people who pass a Lewisville showroom in early December are the same people shopping year-end offers a few weeks later.

Lighting a Store on Both Sides of Stemmons Freeway

Stores face each other across the freeway here. Because dealerships line both frontage roads, a store is seen from its own side at close range and from the opposite side across the full width of the highway. Interstate 35E was rebuilt through Lewisville under the 35Express project, which added reversible managed lanes down the middle and improved the frontage roads. That makes the crossing view a long one, and only the largest elements carry across it: the full roofline, the fascia and a lit entry portal.

The near view is the frontage road. Drivers leaving the freeway for State Highway 121 or Corporate Drive pass directly in front of several stores at lower speed. That is where frontage trees, lot trees, pole-mounted decor and a wreath or garland at the customer entrance earn their place. We look at the property from both positions during the site walk and mark on the design map which pieces serve which view.

Not every Lewisville store is on the south row. Ford is on North Stemmons Freeway, and Honda is on Waters Ridge Drive. A store off the main cluster has fewer lit neighbors to compete with, and a clean building outline with a decorated entry is usually enough to make it easy to find after dark.

Inside, the showroom should match the exterior. We place pre-lit trees, wreaths, garland, oversized ornaments and bows in showrooms and customer lounges, sized to the room and kept out of the way of vehicles on the floor. Customers waiting on service see that decor longer than anyone sees the roofline.

Work is timed to the store's slow hours. Crews install in the early morning or on slower weekdays and keep service lanes and vehicle paths open. If part of the display goes out during the season, maintenance is included and is usually completed within 24 to 48 hours of a call. Removal begins in early January, and the lighting goes into climate-controlled storage.

Year-end sales events are a reason to plan the controls early. Stores that want to change colors for a promotion can add Twinkly Pro app-controlled lighting. Manufacturer image programs still govern what can go on the building, so that conversation happens at the site walk, before the written proposal is prepared.

Lewisville Dealership Holiday Lighting FAQs

Our store faces Interstate 35E. Which parts of the building should be lit?

Start with whatever faces the freeway and the frontage road: the roofline, the fascia and the entry canopy or portal. Those read from both sides of Interstate 35E. Trees, light poles and entry decor are added for drivers on the frontage road. Elevations that face a back lot can usually be left alone.

Can you install during the week without blocking the service drive?

Yes. We schedule installation for early mornings or slower weekdays and keep service lanes and vehicle paths clear the whole time. Tell us at the site walk when your service drive is busiest and when inventory is typically moved, and the installation date and start time are set around that.

We run stores on South Stemmons and in other cities. Can one company handle the whole group?

Yes. We serve dealerships across Dallas-Fort Worth, so a group with a Lewisville store and others elsewhere in the metroplex can use one company for all of them. Every location still gets its own site walk, written proposal and design map, since each building and brand program is different.

What happens if a section goes dark in the middle of December?

Call 972-620-9560. In-season maintenance is included with the lease, and repairs are usually completed within 24 to 48 hours of the call. Because the dealership does not own the lighting, there are no spare parts to keep on hand and no one on your staff needs to go up on the building.
