A dealership is a retail showroom, a service operation, and a brand statement all at once — and every piece has to meet the manufacturer’s image standards while surviving heavy public and technician use. We’ve been outfitting dealerships for decades, and we design, furnish, and build them to look right and hold up. And it’s not only dealerships — we develop branded interiors for automotive service and retail programs, including prototype store designs rolled out consistently across many locations, sourcing casegoods and wall systems from manufacturers at home and abroad to hit the image, the cost, and the schedule. Dealers watch every dollar — and so do we. We use deep product knowledge and direct manufacturer relationships to hit the brand image and the durability without overspending, so the budget goes where it shows.

One store or a dealer group — you’re the right size.

From a few service-lounge chairs to a full ground-up store, you get the same expertise and the same manufacturer access. No project is too small to do well.

How we help

Brand standard, built to last.

Brand-standard compliance

We know the OEM image and dealer-facility programs — and we meet them while keeping selections practical, durable, and on budget.

The whole dealership

Showroom, customer and service lounge, delivery, sales and F&I offices, parts and service support — one coordinated program across the building.

Design, furnish — and build

From the furniture to brand-standard casegoods and wall systems, we can take a store from design through construction in our home market, and ship product to dealers nationwide.

Built for heavy use

Showroom traffic, the service lounge, spills, and daily technician wear — we specify for the realities of a dealership, not a quiet office.

Prototype design & multi-site rollout

For automotive retail and service brands, we develop a prototype interior, then source and produce the casegoods and wall systems — domestic and overseas — and roll it out consistently across locations: on image, on budget, on schedule.

Spaces we outfit

Showroom to service drive.

Showroom & Display

Brand-standard furniture, reception, and display that make the showroom feel like the marque.

Customer & Service Lounge

Comfortable, durable seating, café, and amenities that keep waiting customers happy.

Sales & F&I Offices

Sales desks, F&I offices, and management spaces — ergonomic and durable for long days.

Delivery & Handover

Spaces that make the new-car handover feel like the occasion it is.

Parts & Service Support

Workstations, seating, and storage for the people who keep the service drive moving.

Reception & Café

The welcome, the coffee, the first impression — on brand and built for traffic.

Why AE for automotive

Decades on the showroom floor.

01

A real dealership track record

Over the years we’ve outfitted dealerships across many major brands — including Ford, Toyota, Lexus, Chevrolet, Hyundai, Genesis, and Subaru — throughout Illinois and Indiana, and shipped dealership seating and desks nationwide. OEM programs change — some now single-source casework overseas — so the brands we can take on shift over time; ask us about yours. Either way, we know this environment.

02

Brand standards, handled

We’ve worked inside the OEM image programs enough to meet them without friction — getting the look the brand requires and the durability the store needs.

03

Any size, same care

A few lounge chairs or a full ground-up store — we scale to the project, and the smallest order gets the same expertise and manufacturer access as the largest.

04

Value, not just price

Dealers run lean, and we respect that. Our manufacturer relationships and product knowledge let us find the spec that meets the OEM image and lasts — at a cost that holds up to a sharp pencil. Quality and durability that pay for themselves, not the cheapest thing that fails first.

No. Whether it’s a handful of lounge chairs or a full store, you get the same team, expertise, and manufacturer access. We size our involvement to your project.
Do you meet our manufacturer’s image and facility standards?
Yes — we’ve worked across the major OEM image and dealer-facility programs, and we specify to meet brand standards while keeping selections durable and on budget.
Can you ship to our dealerships across multiple states?
Yes. We ship dealership seating and desks nationwide and coordinate consistent specification, pricing, and installation across locations.
Can you build the store, not just furnish it?
In our home market we can take a dealership from design through construction, including brand-standard casegoods and wall systems. Nationally we handle the furniture and installation and bring broader scope case by case.

Working with Applied Ergonomics

What types of projects does Applied Ergonomics work on?
We work on projects of all sizes, from single-office setups to multi-floor corporate buildouts. Our services span workspace strategy, interior design, furniture specification, procurement, project management, and installation across healthcare, education, corporate, industrial, and hospitality environments.
How does the consultation process work?
We start with a conversation to understand your goals, challenges, and timeline. From there we develop a tailored approach that may include space planning, product recommendations, and a detailed proposal. There’s no obligation, and we’re happy to answer questions at any stage.
Do you work with architects and interior designers?
Absolutely. We regularly partner with architects and interior designers as a technical and execution resource, translating design intent into specific, high-performing solutions.
What geographic areas do you serve?
We serve clients nationally. While we’re headquartered in the Chicago area, our project management and installation capabilities extend across the United States.
Do you support ongoing facility needs after a project is complete?
Yes. We remain a consistent point of contact beyond project closeout—handling warranty coordination, reconfigurations, internal moves, modular system relocation and reuse, redesigns, and more. Our goal is continuity, not re-procurement.
