Our current building served us well, but it\u2019s been there for a very long time and we\u2019ve really outgrown it. Everybody is very excited to come into this new space.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This excitement was also shared on July 18 by Weins Auto Group President Kanji (Toro) Miyahara, who underscored the new dealership will be a hub for true customer service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe building will be beautiful and we want to provide our best experience to our customers \u2013 that is the key,\u201d he said. \u201cA building is a building, but, you know what, the key is our people and that\u2019s what we\u2019ve always been focusing on and that won\u2019t change at all. We\u2019re looking forward to serve the people in Aurora.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis is such a beautiful Town. It\u2019s a fast-developing Town, and we\u2019ve got two great brands in Hyundai and Genesis. We\u2019re just so excited to be here. This will be the best store among our Weins group. We\u2019re hoping that the new building will be accomplished by the end of next year, but considering what\u2019s happening right now, it could be a little bit delayed into 2027. We just can\u2019t wait to have this come up as soon as possible. Hopefully it is going to be the end of next year so that we can have a fresh start in a new building in 2027.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>By Brock Weir<br \/><em>Editor<br \/>Local Journalism Initiative Reporter<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\r\n<a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-facebook nolightbox\" data-provider=\"facebook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.newspapers-online.com%2Fauroran%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F36642&#038;t=Weins%20Auto%20Group%20breaks%20new%20ground%20for%20Hyundai%20and%20Genesis%20in%20Aurora&#038;s=100&#038;p&#091;url&#093;=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.newspapers-online.com%2Fauroran%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F36642&#038;p&#091;images&#093;&#091;0&#093;=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.newspapers-online.com%2Fauroran%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2025%2F07%2F2025-07-31-04.jpg&#038;p&#091;title&#093;=Weins%20Auto%20Group%20breaks%20new%20ground%20for%20Hyundai%20and%20Genesis%20in%20Aurora\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:24px;height:24px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Facebook\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"display: inline;width:24px;height:24px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newspapers-online.com\/auroran\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/48x48\/facebook.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-twitter nolightbox\" data-provider=\"twitter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share on Twitter\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.newspapers-online.com%2Fauroran%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F36642&#038;text=Like%3F\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:24px;height:24px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"twitter\" title=\"Share on Twitter\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"display: inline;width:24px;height:24px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newspapers-online.com\/auroran\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/48x48\/twitter.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-mail nolightbox\" data-provider=\"mail\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share by email\" href=\"mailto:?subject=Weins%20Auto%20Group%20breaks%20new%20ground%20for%20Hyundai%20and%20Genesis%20in%20Aurora&#038;body=Like%3F:%20https%3A%2F%2Fwww.newspapers-online.com%2Fauroran%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F36642\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:24px;height:24px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"mail\" title=\"Share by email\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"display: inline;width:24px;height:24px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newspapers-online.com\/auroran\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/48x48\/mail.png\" \/><\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first page of a new chapter for Hyundai of Aurora was written on Friday afternoon when ground was formally broken on a brand-new dealership of the Weins Automotive Group.
