Car Dealership Parking Lot Striping in Winston, Oregon: 2026 Service Guide

Striping a Car Dealership Lot in Winston, Oregon

Few commercial lots ask as much of their striping as a car dealership. The same pavement has to display inventory at maximum density, route customers to the showroom, keep the service drive clear, and give transporters room to unload — all without a shopper wandering into a working area. In Winston, where Main Street meets Highway 42 just southwest of Roseburg, dealers draw buyers from across the South Umpqua valley and the Wildlife Safari tourist corridor. A crisp, intentional lot tells those buyers the operation is professional before they ever step inside.

This guide covers the layout zones a dealership lot needs, the industry baseline costs, and how Winston's climate and corridor shape the project. For statewide pricing context, see our parking lot striping cost in Oregon guide.

The Four Zones Every Dealership Lot Needs

A dealership is really several lots sharing one slab. Good striping draws clear boundaries between them.

• Display rows — Inventory is packed tight, often angled to fit more vehicles per row and to angle them toward the street. Tighter spacing than a standard stall is the norm, so layout precision matters.
• Customer parking — Shoppers need obvious, generously sized spaces near the showroom entrance, kept visually distinct from inventory so no one parks a personal car in a display row.
• Service drive — The service write-up lane and customer-waiting parking sit apart from sales, with directional flow that keeps drop-offs from crossing the display area.
• Transporter unload lane — Car-hauler deliveries need a striped staging zone, ideally along a perimeter where a transporter can unload without blocking the sales lot.

Test-drive return arrows and a clear ADA path from accessible parking to the showroom round out the plan. OLCC dealer-lot frontage rules also expect a defined display frontage, so the line between street-facing inventory and the public right-of-way should be unambiguous.

Winston Dealership Striping Costs: Industry Baselines

Industry baseline ranges below. Actual costs vary by lot size, surface condition, paint type, and the density of angled display striping. These are not Cojo quotes.

Service	Industry Baseline Range
Per-space restripe (standard stall)	$3–$6 per space
Angled display-row striping	Often higher per space due to layout density
Directional arrows (each)	$25–$50
Stencils (service, customer, etc.)	$30–$75 each
ADA-compliant space (complete)	$200–$350 per space

Because dealership lots run high space counts with angled rows, a full restripe sits at the larger end of the commercial range. A 100-plus-space lot baselines around $950–$1,800 for a straightforward restripe, with new layouts running 40 to 60 percent more once measurement and angled-row planning enter the picture. Actual market pricing frequently exceeds these baselines, so use them as a reference, not a target.

What Affects the Final Cost

Display Density and Angled Layouts

Angled striping eats labor. Every row has to be measured and chalked to a consistent angle, and the tighter you pack inventory, the less margin for error. A dealership that wants maximum display count will pay more per space than a flat retail lot of the same size.

Surface Condition

Winston summers are hot and dry — excellent for paint curing, but hard on aging asphalt. Display rows that sit under parked inventory for months can develop oil staining and tire-rutting. Lots needing crack fill, oil-spot treatment, or old-paint removal add substantially to the base price before any new line goes down.

Paint Type

• Water-based latex — Lowest cost, 12 to 24 months, fine for display rows that get repainted on a refresh cycle anyway.
• Oil-based — Better wear in the service drive and customer lanes, 20 to 30 percent more.
• Thermoplastic — Premium and long-lasting; worth it in high-traffic service-drive lanes.

Scheduling Around a Working Sales Lot

The hard part of striping a dealership is that it never really closes. Most Winston dealers stripe in sections — clearing and repainting a few display rows at a time, or doing the customer and service zones on a slow weekday. Striping season runs late spring through early fall when temperatures stay above 50°F. Winston's dry summers cure paint fast, which shortens the window a row has to stay roped off.
