Mercedes-Benz USA

Supervisor of Operations Paul Violente manages a 13,000 stall Mercedes-Benz USA parking facility and saw more of his maintenance budget going into the lots each year. After watching outside contractors stripe the pavement, he believed his three person crew could handle much of the work in-house as part of a broader car dealership asphalt maintenance program.

When he called Asphalt Kingdom to explain his goals and constraints, he was impressed with the quick, practical answers. As the project scope changed, our team helped him adjust equipment choices and quantities so he always had what he needed. Mercedes-Benz purchased a PowrLiner 2850, Titan stencil kit, and paint and found line striping easier than expected, even with no previous experience.

Colonial Subaru

 At Colonial Subaru, Andrew Murphy Sr reviewed annual quotes and noticed that costs for sealcoating and striping climbed each year. He maintained a tight schedule of repainting lines annually and sealing every two years, so he needed a more predictable way to manage car dealership parking lot maintenance without sacrificing appearance. 

After researching online, Andrew realized that for roughly the cost of a single contractor visit he could purchase the equipment and materials to do the job himself and still own the gear afterward. His maintenance manager, Darryl, called Asphalt Kingdom for spraying tips and quickly learned how to get a uniform finish and proper coverage. By diluting professional grade sealer correctly, they gained extra savings while still achieving a deep black surface that made the inventory pop.

Marine Center of Las Vegas

As the largest marine retail outlet in Las Vegas, Marine Center has extensive pavement around display boats and customer parking. Owner Bruce Nelson had used contractors before but was rarely satisfied with the results. Cracks continued to appear, and he wanted a more hands-on car dealership asphalt maintenance approach that matched the high standards of his showroom.

While researching repair options, Bruce found Asphalt Kingdom and called the toll free line to discuss products and pricing. After seeing how much he could save by doing the work himself, he purchased the 12-Gallon Crack Fill Machine, watched the training videos, and completed the crack repair with his own crew. With his cost per foot a fraction of contractor pricing, he now plans to address cracks as they appear so his lots never reach the same level of disrepair again.
