NEW KID ON THE BLOCK Causeway Hyundai to move into new facility soon
The final countdown has begun! We are just short of a month of moving into our brand new Hyundai building. Despite running into a few setbacks, the time has flew. From employees to our customers, we are all excited for the new building! The Hyundai building will be in between Causeway Ford Lincoln and Causeway Nissan, which is considered the “Causeway Auto Mall” on Google! The current address for Causeway Hyundai is 551 NJ-72, Manahawkin, NJ 08050. Our new buildings address is 405 NJ-72, Manahawkin, NJ 08050.
The new building will have a drive thru service lane which is convenient for everyone. Now customers can pull into the service bay and avoid any bad weather there may be. From the service bay, there will be an entrance into
our cozy customer lounge which will have plenty of snacks and refreshments. We will also have a larger service service center, which our mechanics should be pleased with!
Here are some renderings of what you can expect the new Hyundai facility to look like!
The current Hyundai building has treated us well for the past two years, but there were many shortcomings of the facility. First and foremost, the parking! There was limited parking spaces, we were typically forced to park inventory and employees on the grass. This just caused everyone a big headache. Second would be location, location, location! Because of how small the lot was, we had inventory parked at our main campus. This caused inconvenience for both employees and customers. Also, many people had no idea where we were located. Having Hyundai disconnected from the main campus simply just caused confusion. Countless times we had customers drive to our main campus just to ask where our Hyundai building was located. The building itself felt very outdated as it wasn’t built for the automotive industry. The service center wasn’t a easy access drive thru and it was way too small.
his is what our new facility will look like from Route 72. Causeway Ford Lincoln will be on the left side of the building with Causeway Nissan being on the right. Hyundai recently rolled out this new design which includes floor-to-ceiling glass which is topped by a beautiful bronze roof structure.
Besides the excitement of the building itself being brand new, there are many benefits of the new Hyundai facility. First, we are combating the problem of parking! Something so simple that use to cause frustration, now easily eliminated. There will now be easy access to all of our inventory. All Hyundai’s will now be parked on one lot, which means no more running back and forth for a vehicle. Many of our customers enjoy comparing our brands to one another, this can now be done with ease! Customers can start down at Causeway Honda and easily walk through to Nissan, Hyundai, Ford and Lincoln.

This is what the new Causeway Hyundai showroom will look like. The Showroom will be sleek, open and airy with Hyundai’s new Global design.
This is what the new customer lounge will look like besides artwork and a few other features.

This October we are dedicating our very own Michael Trezza, of Causeway Ford in our employee spotlight. The start of 2019 will mark forty-four years, Michael has worked as a sales consultant here at Causeway! It all began in March of 1975, at the time Causeway was Conti Ford on Bay Ave, in downtown Manahawkin. The first car he ever sold was a 1975 Mustang Ghia, which at that time, the office manager Jane was driving as her demo. He said that it was a beautiful car that everyone wanted. As the years went on, Mike has had the pleasure of watching the dealership grow as we added Honda, Nissan and most recently, Hyundai. He has watched many vehicles come and go and transform into the new models, with the technology we use today. If you were to ask him what his favorite vehicle at Causeway is, he would say the Ford Escape! The Escape just so happens to be our second-best selling Ford vehicle behind the F-150. Mike’s favorite thing to do at Causeway besides selling cars, is to eat his lunch (typically peanut butter and jelly) as soon as he gets in! He enjoys listening to all the salespeople on the floor today and sharing stories about his years here at Causeway Ford. When Mike is not at the Ford showroom you may find him eating pizza at Sawmill in Seaside Park, with his wife Maureen!
During our training process for new salespeople, they are taught a very important tool, the Trezza Vehicle Rule, also known as “TVR”. Named after Mike, this was made famous as he would show each customer that he met, a pre-owned vehicle that was unique or that he really liked. If his customer was searching for a new car, he would insist on showing this vehicle to them and ask them, “Do you know anyone who is looking?”. Mike had much success with this tool, and almost every time he would sell that vehicle eventually. It is a tool we all use today. You can watch Mike on our Causeway Ford YouTube page starring in an old Mercury Commercial!
