Car Dealership Christmas Lighting in Plano, TX

Plano dealerships sit in three main places: the Dallas North Tollway frontage south of Spring Creek Parkway, West Plano Parkway, and State Highway 121 on the city's northern edge. A few more are on Coit Road and North Central Expressway. Each location puts a different side of the building in front of traffic.

Christmas Decor by Carruthers Decorative Lighting provides holiday lighting and decor for dealerships in all of these areas. The service covers design, leased commercial-grade LED lighting cut to the building, installation, in-season maintenance, removal and storage. Exterior work includes the roofline and fascia, the entry canopy or portal, frontage and lot trees and pole-mounted decor. Inside, we decorate showrooms and customer lounges with pre-lit trees, wreaths, garland, bows and oversized ornaments.

Because the lighting is leased, the dealership owns nothing and stores nothing between seasons. A quote starts with a site walk, which you can request at 972-620-9560.

What Drivers See From the Tollway, Plano Parkway and SH 121

The Dallas North Tollway group is the most visible in the city. Buick GMC, Mercedes-Benz, Acura and Lexus stores stand in a row on Dallas Parkway, the tollway frontage road, just south of Spring Creek Parkway. These buildings are seen twice: at speed from the tollway main lanes and up close from the frontage road. We design for the first view with long, even roofline and fascia runs, and for the second with the entry portal, wreaths and lit frontage trees.

Corner sites have more than one public face. A store at the Spring Creek Parkway corner can have entrances on the cross street as well as the tollway access road, so a side elevation may matter as much as the front. The design map shows every elevation that faces a street, and you decide with us which ones carry the display.

West Plano Parkway works differently because it is an arterial street. Audi, Porsche, Mitsubishi and Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram stores share it with CarMax, AutoNation USA and several independent dealers, and Ferrari and Maserati showrooms are on International Parkway. Several of these lots sit side by side. A clean outline, a marked customer entrance and lit trees at the driveway help a store stand apart from the lot next door.

State Highway 121 and the remaining corridors round out the city. A Toyota store fronts SH 121, Chevrolet and Hyundai stores are on Coit Road, a Subaru store is on Dallas Parkway farther south, and a Kia store faces North Central Expressway. Frontage and lot trees, light poles with pole-mounted decor and the tallest fascia are the usual places to start on these sites.

Brand standards are checked before anything is drawn. Manufacturer image programs govern what can go on the building, and at least one Plano store was planned around its brand's updated standard. We work that out at the site walk and keep lighting clear of signage, brand elements, cameras and vehicle paths.

The schedule fits the store, including year-end sales events. Installation takes place in early mornings or on slower weekdays, with service lanes left open. Maintenance during the season is included and usually completed within 24 to 48 hours of a call. Stores that want to change colors for a sales event can choose app-controlled Twinkly Pro lighting. Removal starts in early January, followed by climate-controlled storage.

Plano Dealership Holiday Lighting FAQs

Our store faces both the Dallas North Tollway and a cross street. Which side do you light?

Usually both, with different jobs. The tollway elevation gets long roofline and fascia runs that read at speed. The cross-street and frontage road side gets the entry portal, wreaths and trees that customers see as they turn in. The design map shows each elevation so you can approve it before installation is scheduled.

Will holiday lighting fit our manufacturer's image program?

We plan for it at the site walk. Image programs differ by brand and govern what can go on the building, so we ask what yours allows before drawing the design map. Lighting is kept off signage and brand elements and away from cameras, and decor can be concentrated on trees, poles and the showroom where the building is restricted.

We are on West Plano Parkway next to other dealers. How do we keep the display from blending in?

A consistent outline and one clear focal point at the customer entrance do most of the work. We keep the lighting on your building lines and your own frontage trees, and you can choose a single color scheme or app-controlled Twinkly Pro lighting so the store reads as one property.

How early should a Plano dealership book holiday lighting?

Late summer or early fall is the safest time. That leaves room for the site walk, the written proposal and design map, any brand or ownership approvals, and an installation date ahead of the year-end selling season. Later requests can sometimes be fitted in, depending on the dates still open.
