Seal the Deal — and the Lot: Protect Your Dealership’s Concrete Before Fall
First Impressions Start in the Parking Lot
When customers arrive at your dealership, their first impression isn’t the handshake — it’s your lot.
Clean, well-maintained concrete instantly sets the tone for trust, professionalism, and pride in your business.
Unfortunately, summer heat, oil drips, tire marks, and weather exposure can make even the most modern dealership look worn down fast. The solution? Sealing your concrete in August — right before fall and winter weather begin to take a toll.
The Hidden Damage Summer Causes to Dealership Lots
1. Oil & Fluid Stains
Cars — even new ones — can leak fluids that penetrate deep into unsealed concrete, leaving permanent dark spots.
2. UV & Heat Damage
Constant exposure to the sun fades color and dries out the concrete’s surface, causing small cracks that grow over time.
3. Heavy Foot & Vehicle Traffic
With cars constantly moving in and out, plus customer foot traffic, your lot takes more wear than most commercial surfaces.
4. Rain & Storm Debris
August storms wash dirt, dust, and road grime onto your lot, making it harder to keep clean.
Why Dealerships Should Seal in August
Prevents Fall & Winter Damage – Sealing before freezing temperatures arrive blocks moisture from seeping into small cracks, preventing costly freeze-thaw expansion.
Keeps the Lot Looking Showroom-Ready – A high-gloss acrylic finish makes your lot shine like the cars on display.
Protects Against Salt & De-Icing Chemicals – Once sealed, your lot can better withstand the chemicals used to keep customers safe in winter.
Maximizes Customer Impressions – A clean, polished lot signals attention to detail — a quality customers expect from a dealership.
