Illustrative property scene
Start with your building
A project that fits your operations.
An automotive property can include a conditioned showroom, offices, service bays, parts storage, and exterior vehicle areas. Those uses have different equipment and operating patterns. We help dealership and service-facility owners separate them into a practical energy assessment. Begin with the next equipment replacement, lighting refresh, or property renovation, then identify the account and approval responsibilities behind it. The rebate review focuses on qualifying energy improvements within that plan. Shop safety, exhaust, and other operational requirements remain part of the facility’s own project design and approval process.
What determines eligibility?
- Commercial or small-business eligibility depends on the electric account and current program criteria, not whether the property sells or services vehicles.
- Distinguish conditioned offices and showrooms from service bays, outdoor areas, and specialty shop equipment.
- Specialty systems and any custom proposal require technical review; do not assume every automotive equipment purchase receives a utility rebate.
Your utility confirms eligibility, approved measures, incentive amounts, and funding. Review requirements before purchasing or installing equipment.
Where to look for improvements
Consider the whole building.
Start with these opportunities for automotive dealerships and service facilities. The program pages below cover the broader measure lists and utility requirements.
Service and exterior lighting
Review fixtures, controls, schedules, and ownership across service areas and site lighting.
Building and custom projects
Include relevant envelope work and documented efficiency ideas for program-specific evaluation.
Match the property to the program
Your utility. Your next step.
Choose the program serving your electric account. An Austin or San Antonio mailing address alone does not establish eligibility.

Make the work easier to coordinate.
A useful scope accounts for access, equipment, and the people who use the property each day.
Map the operating zones
Separate showroom, offices, service bays, storage, and outdoor areas in the equipment and meter inventory.
Document actual use
Gather opening hours, service shifts, overnight lighting schedules, and any seasonal changes to the facility operation.
Coordinate access and approvals
Identify landlord, dealership, franchise, and facility decisions that affect equipment selection or the proposed work window.
Questions from property teams
Know what to ask before you begin.
Can an independent repair shop be assessed?
Yes. Its account may fit a small-business or commercial route. We review the property and proposed energy work before identifying an application pathway.
Can exterior dealership lighting qualify?
It can be screened under the relevant lighting requirements. Existing fixtures, proposed equipment, operating schedules, ownership, and meter information are needed for a specific eligibility decision.
Are shop process improvements automatically included?
No. Specialty equipment needs its own program and technical review. A custom efficiency idea must be documented and agreed with the utility before an incentive is assumed.
