Warehouse Car Dealership

A real, working car dealership in Van Nuys. 15,000 square feet under skylights that run the entire space, 30-foot ceilings, two 20-foot drive-in roll-up doors, and a mostly column-free floor with room for builds, lighting rigs, and vehicles. Natural top light all day. Inside the 30-Mile Studio Zone, minutes off the 405.

This is a working dealership, not a set dressed to look like one. Real showroom character, real service-bay texture with a working car lift and shop equipment in frame, and a rotating inventory of 70 to 100 vehicles that can appear on camera or clear out for your build. Roll a process trailer straight through the doors. Put a hero car six feet in the air on an actual lift.

The picture cars are already here, which changes your budget math. Background rows, featured vehicles, and hero cars book with the space in one conversation, one COI, zero transport days. Everything from early 2000s to current models: sedans, SUVs, minivans, trucks, the occasional character piece.

Three private offices sit off the main floor, so your infrastructure never fights your set. Video village in one, crafty and client holding in another, production office or HMU in the third, with doors that close between takes. A kitchenette backs up crafty, and there are two bathrooms. The offices also shoot well as real manager's-office interiors if you need them on camera. Outside, about 4,500 square feet across two areas handles staging, basecamp, catering, and exteriors without touching your interior setup.

Productions use it for dealership and showroom scenes, garage and mechanic work on a practical lift, car commercials and music videos, process and rigging days, office scenes with real-business texture, large stills setups with vehicle staging, and day-interior work that wants real sun.
