Chaplins Chevrolet in North Bend is adding a large, lighted canopy to cover both lanes of the service driveway on the north side of the service building. The canopy will keep customers and service people out of the weather and more comfortable as they drop off and pick up vehicles for service.

“Our goal is to keep our customers warm and dry during the rainy season, and cool and comfortable during the summer season,” wrote Randy Eaton, Chaplins operations director, in an e-mail update on the project.

During the construction, which is expected to take about a month, customers will be directed to use the north driveway to the service shop, and to enter the building through the front door.

Chaplins will also have new LED exterior lighting fixtures installed. The lights will give shoppers in the late afternoon or early evening a better look at the lot, and will improve security, too.
