Car Dealership Signage | Automotive | Manchester & UK

A car dealership is judged from the roadside. Pylons, fascias and forecourt signs have to be seen at speed, meet the manufacturer’s brand standards to the millimetre and stand up to years of weather, while the showroom inside has to sell the brand as well as the cars.

SPI is one of the key signage suppliers to Arnold Clark, and we have delivered dealership signage for brands including BYD, MG, Renault, Dacia, BMW, MINI, Chery and HPL Electric, from our workshop in Greater Manchester to dealerships across the UK.

Manufacturer standards, delivered consistently

Every brand has its own corporate identity manual, and dealer groups often run several brands side by side. We work to each manufacturer’s specification for colours, materials, illumination and positioning, and keep the finish consistent from one site to the next, so a rollout looks the same in Glasgow as it does in Manchester.

From groundworks to handover

Working hand in hand with estates and project management teams, we cover creative design, surveys, advertisement consent, groundworks, manufacture and installation, with structures backed by structural calculations. As Principal Contractor we manage the site and any subcontractors, creating a one stop package for the dealer group.

Rollouts at scale

We have supported the fit out of more than 40 Arnold Clark sites the length and breadth of the country, from window graphics to 6m tall totems. For GTG, we refreshed three sites in four weeks from instruction to completion, including surveys and advertisement consent.

Live sites, any hour

Dealerships can’t close for signage work. No hours are off limits for our teams, so we install early mornings, evenings, overnight and at weekends around sales and service.
