Six months after the dust has settled, Carroll-Rehma Motors in Linn invites local consumers to check out a new dealership experience. A ribbon-cutting will be held at 4 p.m. Wednesday, followed by an open house until 7 p.m.

Improvements include an inviting exterior façade with updated signage; a bright showroom featuring a customer greeting station; renovated service drive-in bays; a comfortable customer lounge offering wireless internet access; a great coffee bar; and wide-screen TV viewing.

"We've looked at the customer experience from all viewpoints, and the facility updates we've made cater to our customers' needs to provide the best dealership experience," said owner Mike Carroll.

Carroll-Rehma Motors invested more than half a million dollars to make the significant improvements to their dealership.

Carroll-Rehma Motors opened its doors in 1980 when Ron Carroll and Terry Rehma purchased the dealership as partners from Joe Seldon Chevrolet. Carroll-Rehma now employs more than 70 people and serves as the Chevrolet dealer for Osage, Gasconade and portions of Callaway counties.
