TEMECULA, CA — After 15 months of construction, Temecula Valley Lexus has opened the doors to its 50,000-square-foot automotive dealership at 42081 DLR Drive.
On Thursday, the Temecula dealership celebrated its grand opening with community members, Toyota Motor North America executives, and dealer owners Tom Rudnai and RJ Romero.
Built on 4.73 acres, the new dealership features sales, service, rooftop parking, parts and storage.
Temecula Valley Lexus, which is part of the ownership family of Temecula Valley Toyota, is the only Lexus dealership within a 35-mile radius. The opening brought 60 new jobs to the city, according to the dealership.
As part of Thursday’s celebration, the Temecula Valley Lexus team presented the Boys & Girls Club of Southwest County with a $10,000 check to help provide academic support, sports, art, S.T.E.M., career readiness and leadership programs to community youth.
A Katana samurai sword presentation to the Temecula Valley Lexus team by Toyota Motor North America executives was also part of the grand opening event.
Temecula’s auto dealerships provide a significant share of sales tax revenue to the city. As a result, the city offers an incentive to attract more dealers. The incentive allows qualifying dealerships to get their development impact and/or user fees reimbursed when building new or expanding existing locations in the city.
