Twist of Fate Leads Baillargeon to Open $3.5 Million New World of Audi in Dallas Fort Worth

EULESS, Texas, Nov. 19, 2003 -- A twist of fate led entrepreneur Bobby Baillargeon to launch the stunning Baillargeon New World of Audi that will celebrate its grand opening Thursday, November 20 at its new location at 1701 West Airport Freeway in Euless.

"The Baillargeon family name has stood for customer service for years in the Dallas Fort Worth market," says Bobby Baillargeon. "When we learned my mother was seriously ill two years ago, our family decided to sell the family dealership. I'd worked in every aspect of automobile service and sales. The time was right for me to launch a new career. And Audi was the best partner for me."

Known for hands-on superior customer service and attention to detail, Baillargeon, 39, will host national dignitaries and guests Thursday, November 20 from 6:00-9:00 p.m. to mark the grand opening of Baillargeon New World of Audi. Representing Audi will be Len Hunt, Vice President in charge of Audi of America, and Russ Hill, Director of Sales.

Located minutes from DFW airport off Highway 183, Baillargeon Audi offers a unique complimentary airport valet service for Audi owners that is receiving rave reviews from busy travelers.

"This is a convenience we offer Audi owners," says Baillargeon. "Audi owners can leave their cars with us. We will take them to and from the airport. Their Audi's can be detailed and/or serviced. Or, simply parked with us. Plus, you do not have to have purchased your Audi from Baillargeon."

Located on 6 acres, the 33,500 square foot Baillargeon New World of Audi represents a $3.5 million investment in Tarrant County.

"This is something that the community can be very proud of. Our guests love the convenience," says Baillargeon. "From valet service to complimentary loaner vehicles, Audi owners expect -- and receive -- outstanding service from the start of their relationship with Baillargeon Audi. This new facility will 'wow' our guests and take our customer satisfaction to an even higher level."

The new dealership is unmistakably Audi inside and out. A distinctive "hangar" roofline connects the service department to the towering, one-and-a- half-story showroom. Audi's trademark circular display areas invite customers to preview nine vehicles in the spacious glass-enclosed showroom with warm wood highlights.
