Experiencing Excellence: My Park Place Internship Experience

Park Place Summer Intership

Experiencing Excellence: It’s More Than Just a Slogan

My experience as a 2014 summer intern at Park Place Dealerships

“Experts in Excellence” it is a tag line, a simple phrase, yet also an extremely powerful statement. For a single person to claim excellence is quite a feat, but for an entire corporation to proclaim it in everything they do is really impressive.

Every company has their slogan, and we all know the great ones: “I’m lovin it”, “Just Do it”, “Open Happiness.”  As you read each of those slogans images of golden arches, an athlete and a polar bear drinking a soft drink enter your mind. That is because those brands have attached those words to everything they do. Like other iconic brands Park Place Dealership has attached itself to the words “Experts in Excellence.”  It appears on napkins, bottle openers, floor mats, license plates, but most importantly, on each interaction and point of contact. So plastering your company name right on top of the word excellence is a bold statement right? Yes, it is bold, ambitious and overtly assertive. Those are all qualities that it takes to be successful and is one of the reasons why Park Place Dealerships is as successful as we are because of the embodiment of that go-getter mentality.

Another cool thing about placing the word excellence beneath your company name is that you are automatically holding yourself and everyone associated with the company to the highest standard of performance, on and off the job. This is something I have learned quickly and come to appreciate greatly during my summer internship with Park Place Dealerships. Just like being a part of a school, fraternity or sorority when you work for a company you are an automatic brand ambassador for that company.

Through my internship I’ve learned a number of things but I think none of them are as important as living your brand promise. Representing yourself in the best light is something you would think comes naturally to most people or at least should, but turn on the TV for 30 seconds and you might think the contrary.. and even fear for the future of mankind. Yet here at Park Place everything is looked at under a giant microscope, each detail is examined to make sure that the ideal client experience is expressed in every way possible.

Park Place Summer Internship

When I first decided to take this internship I was a bit skeptical about working at a car dealership (I would be lying if I said otherwise).  After the first day of training, I began to witness to the pride and passion that members put into their jobs. I knew from there that this wasn’t like your average auto dealership, or even your average company for that matter.  During the orientation process I learned about all aspects of business. I was able to see everything from what a greeter does to how to fix certain cars to how to make sure you are keeping the books correctly, and I am just a marketing intern! Getting a chance to the full spectrum of the business world was one of the most beneficial opportunities of this internship.

I happen to be a writer and a creator, so when I arrived that it what I was asked to do. I expanded my writing pallet by contributing a multitude of posts to the Park Place News.  I also learned and did plenty of new things like going on photo shoots and driving some really amazing cars all around Dallas/Fort Worth. This gave me a shot to use my photography skills to create an online advertising campaign called “Our Cars, Your City”.  I also learned a whole new world of digital marketing, computer coding and website design.  I was able to create web pages with the help of my fellow intern and now good friend, Zach Swanger. We created the Bugatti brand page for Park place, a whole new Careers site and a few other webpages as well.  Each of these experiences I will confidently put to use in the future.Park Place Summer Intership

The things I’ve learned, were taught and experienced during my summer as a Park Place intern were things I could never master in a classroom. Being an intern here at Park Place Dealerships was unlike any other internship. I know what you are thinking at this point:  I wonder if this is really all he is cracking it up to be? The answer is an over-the-top resounding Yes!

Being a part of Park Place is being a part of something great, something excellent. Maybe not what you might think of when you consider changing lives or helping others, but it really is. That is because when people walk through the doors of any Park Place dealership they can expect one thing without a doubt –to be treated better than anywhere else. The members of Park Place will go above and beyond any request for a client, and I’ve seen this first. They greet you like you are walking into their living room. They treat you like you are their best friend from grade school that traveled half way across the country to see you.  It is an excellent example of world class customer service.

This summer is one I will remember and benefit from for the rest of my life. It gave me a chance to learn about a side of the business world I am interested in and opened my eyes to many possibilities for my future. This is an experience I do not take for granted and that should be pursued by any college student that is looking to make good use of their summer. So I urge you to apply and give it a try.  First, let me caution you.  You have a lot of competition out there for next summer – including me.

A special thank you to everyone at Park Place who helped contribute to the incredible experience I have had here this summer.

McLaren 650s Front Exterior | Park Place McLaren Dallas

The McLaren MSO 650S was originally just a concept released in April, but after an overwhelming response McLaren has decided to produce a limited 50 Coupes and Spiders. The car debuted at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. The Festival of Speed as it is referred to in the United Kingdom is an annual hill climb featuring historic motor racing vehicles that is held in the grounds of Goodwood House, West Sussex, England.

The production model of the MSO 650S carries over many of the elements found in the Concept. Frank Stephenson, McLaren’s Design Director, has made many more changes including a number of carbon fiber styling upgrades, a three-piece rear bumper with carbon fiber center section and a more aggressive rear diffuser.

The MSO Concept came in Agrigan Black, but the production version will be available in ‘Papaya Spark (a take on McLaren orange), Sarigan Quartz (new metallic silver with gold infusion) and the Agrigan Black of the concept.

Bentley Returns to Racing Roots with the Continental GT3-R

gt3r bentley park place dallas

Many people do not think of racing when they first think of the Bentley brand. The words aviation, luxury, class and quality all resonate closely to the Bentley brand, but few individuals know that the roots of Bentley are on the track. In early days of Bentley from 1923-1930, they dominated the automobile racing world. Originally started with a group of gentlemen that went by the name “Bentley Boys”, these men were socialites that owned Bentleys and wanted to race them. They weren’t professional drivers. For the most part, they were just men who had fast cars they loved and wanted to see just how hard they could push their vehicles. Bentley has a total of 8 Le Mans titles and many other accolades in the racing world. For a breakdown of Bentley racing history check out the video below.

The new GT3-R is meant to draw inspiration and motivation from those prestigious roots in the racing world. With the company trying to channel the spirit of the Bentley boys to its modern day customers by pilling horsepower and technology into the new Bentley Continental GT3 R. As one of the hottest Bentley units ever produced, the Continental GT3-R, was officially presented to the public during the 2014 Goodwood Festival of Speed. The model in question will enter a limited production of just 300 units, and all of them will be hand built in Crewe, United Kingdom, and finished by the company’s motorsport department. All units of the Bentley Continental GT3-R will be finished in Glacier White paint with two-tone green graphics, on its side profile, which will help differentiate it.  The GT3-R will be a rare beast, too, conveniently timed to coincide with Bentley’s recent success at the second round of the Blancpain Endurance Series at Silverstone – taking a win in the first UK race for the company in 84 years. With Bentley’s race-proven 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8, this two-seat, performance-focused Grand Tourer rockets from a standstill to 60 mph in just 3.6 seconds. This makes the Continental GT3-R the fastest-accelerating Bentley ever.

“The experience of driving a Continental GT3-R is awe-inspiring, and takes the dynamic abilities of our Grand Tourer to new heights,” said Wolfgang Durheimer, Chairman and Chief Executive of Bentley Motors. “We were inspired to create something extremely special for the road by the performance of our Continental GT3. It is a celebration of the Bentley passion for building outstanding drivers’ cars. To be a true Bentley, the GT3-R had to be the most luxurious track-inspired Grand Tourer ever, and this car pushes our trademark combination of luxury and performance to a new level.”

If one of these beastly Bentleys moves you, then come by Park Place Bentley Dallas to inquire about availability of the Continental GT3 R and all other Bentley models.

The All-New Mercedes-Benz 2015 S-Class Coupe

2015 Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe Park Place Dallas

The dream car that was just a dream. Until now and it is nightmare for every other car on the road. The new sleek design of the 2015 Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe is the automotive equivalent to a world-class super model, beauty without exception.

Most cars begin as concepts whose ideals rarely reach the final product — until now. The 2015 S-Class Coupe is virtually unchanged from the concept version — a breathtaking new expression of the Mercedes-Benz flagship S-Class. Stylistically self-assured presence, exclusive appointments and refined sportiness – the new S-Class Coupe from Mercedes-Benz combines the classic proportions of a large, sporty coupe with modern luxury and state-of-the art technology. This vehicle is a combination of sporting and luxury rarely seen on a car at with price point. At Mercedes-Benz it is the little things like that fact that If you’re one of the first customers to purchase an S-Class coupe, you’ll get the Edition 1 special model with 47 Swarovski crystals embedded in the headlights. Yes, you read that correctly this car is powered by a twin-turbo 4.7-liter V-8 making 449 hp and basically has diamonds in her eyes. If the new 2015 Jaguar F-Type Coupe is the perfect Bond villain car then the 2015 Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe is the picturesque Bond girl car. The cars smooth lines in cooperation with its silver bullet like form make it one of the most aesthetically pleasing cars Mercedes-Benz has ever crafted, and we haven’t gotten to the interior yet.

2015 Mercedes-Benz S class coupe Park Place Motorcars Dallas

This sporty two-door commands a striking, self-assured presence highlighted by refined appointments expected from the S-Class. It also delivers exhilarating driving dynamics that can only come from a coupe powered by a 449-hp V8 biturbo engine.

Per usual, the S-Class Coupe is packed with some of the world’s most innovative driving assistance systems, such as Intelligent Drive, which includes PRE-SAFE® Brake with Pedestrian Detection and DISTRONIC PLUS® with Steering Assist, among others. COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST PLUS can even autonomously apply the brakes in an emergency, helping to prevent rear-end collisions from up to 25 mph.

Who would know that underneath the sensuous curves and sleek lines that such a technologically advanced marvel awaited? One step into the cockpit, one press of the gas pedal, one grin from ear to ear — it’s a clear reminder that this is no dream.

The two-door S550 Coupe will be available in the U.S. as a 4MATIC® with a 4.7-liter V8 biturbo engine. The S550 Coupe has an output of 449 hp and its torque level peaks at 516 lb-ft. The sporty driving experience is significantly enhanced by the emotional sound produced by the exhaust system.

Highlights

  • World’s first active curve tilting function.
  • PRE-SAFE® Brake with Pedestrian Recognition.
  • PRE-SAFE® PLUS rear-end collision protection.
  • DISTRONIC PLUS® with Steering Assist.
  • BAS® PLUS with Cross-Traffic Assist.
  • Active Lane Keeping Assist.
  • Adaptive High Beam Assist.
  • Night View Assist® PLUS.
  • COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST PLUS.
  • Burmester® High-End 3D surround sound system.
  • Panorama roof with MAGIC SKY CONTROL®.
  • Large, two-part wide screen display.
  • AIR-BALANCE package.
  • Touchpad.
  • Head-up display.

2015-mercedes-benz-c-class-interior-park place dallas2015-Mercedes-S-Class-Coupe-front-cabin

With the curve tilting function, the Coupe introduces a world first for series-production cars: The Coupe leans into bends in a manner similar to a motorcyclist or skier. The lateral acceleration acting upon occupants is reduced in a way akin to when driving in a steep curve, and passengers sit more firmly. On country roads in particular, the new curve tilting function enhances driving enjoyment and comfort.

Like the S-Class Sedan, the new Coupe is available with many new assistance systems that make driving more comfortable and safer. The “Intelligent Drive” systems include, among other things the PRE-SAFE® brake with pedestrian detection, DISTRONIC PLUS® with Steering Assist, BAS® PLUS with Cross-Traffic Assist, Active Lane Keeping Assist, Adaptive High-beam Assist and Night View Assist® PLUS.

COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST PLUS features an additional function apart from the adaptive brake assistant, which provides collision protection from a speed of 4 mph: if there remains a danger of collision and the driver fails to respond, the system can carry out an autonomous braking maneuver at speeds of up to 65 mph, thereby reducing the severity of collisions with slower or stopping vehicles. The system also brakes in response to stationary vehicles at a speed of up to 31 mph, and is able to prevent rear-end collisions at up to 25 mph.

2015-mercedes-benz-s-class-interior park place

As in the sedan, the PRE-SAFE® preventive occupant protection system includes of PRE-SAFE® PLUS. It can recognize an imminent rear-end collision. If the danger of a collision persists, the system can also firmly apply the parking brake on the vehicle stationary and thus minimize the risk of whiplash injuries by reducing the forward jolt caused by an impact from the rear.

In cooperation with high-end audio specialists Burmester, two especially high value audio systems have been developed: the Burmester® surround sound system and the Burmester® High-End 3D surround sound system.

The new S-Class Coupe and its innovations seamlessly continue the tradition of large coupes into the future and will launch in the U.S. this fall with the S550 4MATIC®.geneva-mercedes-benz-s-class-coupe-1 653 park place

The Brand New Mercedes-Benz 2015 GLA-Class

2015 Mercedes-Benz GLA at Park Place Motorcars Dallas

The Mercedes-Benz 2015 GLA-Class

When your looking to go some where with both luxury and utility in mind then the multi-talented all-new 2015 Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class is meant for you.

With its progressive design, serene day-to-day driving and off-road capability: easily handling various automotive applications, the all-new Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class reinterprets the compact SUV segment. It effortlessly masters day-to-day driving and is also robust enough for off-road excursions.

The first Mercedes-Benz in the fast-growing compact SUV segment is highly maneuverable around town, lively on country roads and athletic and efficient on the highway. The high quality appointments, developed with much attention to detail, and the versatile interior clearly position the GLA-Class as a premium compact SUV. The 2015 Mercedes-Benz GLA even made an appearance earlier this month in the new Mario Kart 8 video game for the Nintendo Wii as the feature Kart. The GLA is a small SUV – not a crossover – which is capable of urban commuting and any other adventure you have been itching to go on lately.

2015 Mercedes-Benz GLA at Park Place Motorcars Dallas

Highlights

  • 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine.
  • 208 hp and 258 lb.-ft. of torque.
  • Seven-speed dual clutch automatic transmission.
  • Electromechanical power steering.
  • COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST.
  • ATTENTION ASSIST®.
  • 18-inch 5-twin spoke wheels.
  • Chrome roof rail.
  • New-generation 4MATIC® all-wheel drive (optional).
  • Panorama sunroof (optional).

More Grip

It’s also the first Mercedes-Benz SUV to be available with the new-generation permanent 4MATIC® all-wheel drive system, with fully variable torque distribution. This all-wheel drive system excels with even more grip and outstanding agility while also enhancing driving safety and energy efficiency. Additional benefits of this design are a lower weight than is available from the competition, and high efficiency.

Self-Assured Exterior

Providing the impressive front face are the headlamps and available LED daytime running lamps. This iconic Mercedes-Benz design feature was developed further using tri-functional fiber-optics to create the vehicle’s characteristic light signature. The front bumper features diamond-pattern grilles in front of the cooling air intakes. The standard fog lamps are integrated into the front bumper.

A simulated skid plate and contrasting dark-grey sill panels all-around emphasize the compact SUV’s characteristics. The panels begin low down at the front bumper and provide protection against stone impact.

Attractive, High Quality Interior

The muscular and imposing appearance of the exterior is systematically continued into the interior. This has a high-quality feel resulting from the contours, choice and combinations of high-grade materials. A three-spoke steering wheel with 12 function keys and a galvanized chrome clasp is standard equipment. The choice of seat upholsteries (standard MB-Tex or optional leather) and color combinations allows plenty of scope for personalization.

Its flexible and variable interior includes rear seat backrests that fold down completely. The well laid-out generous luggage compartment can be loaded without difficulty thanks to the low loading sill and the wide tailgate, which can open automatically as an option. The rigid body structure provides a reliable basis for the 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine with 208 hp and 258 lb.-ft. of torque.

Off-road Functions

2015 Mercedes-Benz GLA Park Place Motorcars Dallas

Models with 4MATIC® are equipped with DSR (Downhill Speed Regulation) and an off-road transmission mode as standard. DSR is activated by a control button in the center console, and assists the driver on demanding downhill stretches by maintaining a slow, manually selected vehicle speed within the physical limits when negotiating downhill gradients. This is done with the help of the engine and transmission control systems, and by specific braking intervention.

When the off-road transmission mode is selected using the transmission mode switch, the gearshift points and accelerator characteristics are modified to meet the requirements for driving on light off-road terrain and especially loose surfaces. In combination with the standard single-disc CD audio system with USB Port, Bluetooth® connectivity and HD Radio or optional COMAND® system, the head unit can also be switched to an off-road display.

Safety and Technology

Many driving assistance systems offer support in the GLA-Class and reduce the driver’s workload. Standard features for the SUV include ATTENTION ASSIST® drowsiness detection and radar-based COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST with adaptive Brake Assist, which now helps to protect against collisions from a speed of only 4 mph.

This feature combines with DISTRONIC PLUS® (part of the Driver Assistance Package) to become COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST PLUS. This incorporates an additional function: If a danger of collision arises and the driver fails to respond, the system is able to carry out autonomous braking at speeds of up to 124 mph, thereby reducing the severity of collisions with slower or stopping vehicles. The system also brakes in response to stationary vehicles at a speed of up to 18 mph, and is able to prevent rear-end collisions at speeds of up to 12 mph.

Like all models in the Mercedes-Benz lineup, the GLA-Class comes with mbrace2™, which provides users with a range of online and concierge services and apps all linking seamlessly to smartphones for use inside and outside the car.

The new GLA-Class rounds off the Mercedes-Benz SUV portfolio, which has five model series (GLA-Class, GLK-Class, ML-Class, GL-Class and G-Class). Nimble on the road and capable off of it, the all-new 2015 GLA-Class is ready for every turn your life takes. A premium compact SUV with responsive handling and dramatic styling to match, the GLA-Class also offers an interior immersed in signature Mercedes-Benz quality. Arriving in fall 2014 at Park Place Motorcars Dallas, Grapevine and Fort Worth.

Lexus Wins its 17th JD Power Award

When you buy a car you want to trust that everything’s going to run smoothly, the way it is meant to be. And there’s one manufacturer that has been doing it the “way it is meant to be” for almost the past two decades. This standalone manufacturer in the dependability category is Lexus.

Park Place-lexus-what-car-jd-power

When it comes to dependability, the world knows that winning the JD Power award is the apex. This year Lexus again took the top spot in J.D. Power’s 2014 U.S. Vehicle Dependability Study – now three straight years. The Japanese auto maker has averaged 40 fewer problems per 100 vehicles than the second closest manufacturer, and that’s a lot. The 2014 Lexus ES, LS, GS, GX and RX won individual awards as well, each coming in top of their class. Although Lexus lost the top ranking in 2009-11, it had been on top of the survey for 14 years before that. All this being said, the Lexus brand stands as the cornerstone of quality and dependability in the automotive industry. Lexus’ constant “Pursuit of Perfection”, partnered with its penchant for innovation, has helped this automaker establish itself as quality manufacturer. Their vehicles exude class, comfort, efficiency and most of all dependability.

If you are looking for a car that is made to be more reliable than any other on the road, then you should check-out the impressive inventory of new and pre-owned Lexus vehicles at  Lexus Plano or Lexus Grapevine.

Bugatti Vitesse Makes Appearance In Dallas After Filming For Transformers 4: Age Of Extinction

If you follow Park Place on Facebook and are a fan of the Autobots, then you just might recognize a familiar face(or grille) when Transformers 4 hits the big screen today. In a recent visit to the Park Place Premier Collection, Bugatti brought along a beautiful two-toned blue Bugatti Vitesse.

bugatti transformers 4

Transformers: Age of Extinction hits theaters today, June 27th, as the fourth installment of the epic saga with a lineup of cars and stars that could very well set the fourth film far apart from its predecessors. One major automotive addition that runs alongside Optimus Prime and Bumblebee is the beautiful two tone blue Bugatti Vitesse that made an appearance right here at the Park Place Premier Collections. In case you’ve forgotten your French 101, Vitesse means speed or velocity, and some of our clients had the exciting opportunity to test it out around Dallas. We are all excited to see what Michael Bay has in store for this forth movie and what he can do with the fastest production machine in the world.
