PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
EUROMOBIL LAUNCHES NEW AUDI KUALA LUMPUR SERVICE CENTRE
Kuala Lumpur, 2 December 2015 – Euromobil Sdn Bhd, a member of DRB-HICOM
Group Companies (DRB-HICOM) today launched the new Audi Kuala Lumpur
Service Centre, located at Jalan Chan Sow Lin. This is part of the company’s efforts
to provide world-class services for discerning Audi owners in the heart of Kuala
Lumpur and the greater Klang Valley region.
The upgraded service facility was officiated by Brigadier General (K) Tan Sri Mohd
Khamil Jamil, Group Managing Director of DRB-HICOM Berhad. Also present to
witness the ceremony were Immo Buschmann, Managing Director of Audi Malaysia
and Dato’ Radzaif Mohamed, Chief Operating Officer, Automotive Distribution &
Manufacturing of DRB-HICOM Berhad.
Already operational since early September, this new service centre facility increases
the number of previous service bays at Audi Kuala Lumpur from six to a total of 26
bays. Additionally, the aftersales service team has also been expanded from 21
staffs currently to 47 highly trained service advisors, technicians and consultants to
provide the best care for Audi vehicles.
As a result, service throughputs at Audi Kuala Lumpur will increase from just 2,500
service throughputs per annum currently into a total of more than 11,000
throughputs.
“With the establishment of the service centre, it can further strengthen its position in
the local automotive industry. Euromobil has invested more than RM11 million in this
service centre because we believe that our customers deserve top service quality
throughout their entire ownership experience with the Audi brand. This expansion is
very much in line with the growing demand for Audi vehicles and our customers can
now expect to find that waiting time for service slots will decrease and the service
and maintenance itself will be quicker and more convenient,” said Brigadier General
(K) Tan Sri Haji Mohd Khamil Jamil.
During the launch, Immo Buschmann said, “The team at Audi Malaysia have been
working hand-in-hand with our counterparts at Euromobil for quite some time now
and I am very happy to see the results of this hard work. The expansion in Audi
Kuala Lumpur’s service facilities is definitely a step in the right direction and I am
confident this will strengthen the core of our operations here in Malaysia, which in
turn will provide yet another compelling reason for customers to purchase an
authorised Audi vehicle.”
The new service centre is approximately 300 metres away from the previous location
which was at No.44, Jalan Chan Sow Lin, Kuala Lumpur. Now housed at No.124,
126, 127 and 128 Jalan Enam Kawasan Perindustrian Chan Sow Lin, Kuala Lumpur,
the construction of the service centre was commissioned by DRB-HICOM on 5th
March 2015 with inputs from Audi AG with regards to design and technical
specifications.
This service centre will also serves as a technical training hub, providing support to
each of the five Euromobil branches nationwide and complementing the current
training centre in Glenmarie, Shah Alam.
