Drive One geared to steer Audi to unparallel­ed heights in Sri Lanka

-

Since taking over the dealership of Audi in October last year, Drive One (Pvt.) Ltd has taken steps to catapult the Audi brand to unparallel­ed heights in Sri Lanka.

The company was appointed the official representa­tive for Audi AG Germany for sales, after-sales and genuine parts and accessorie­s of Audi automobile­s.

Drive One (Pvt.) Ltd Managing Director Hiran de Silva said, “Drive One is thrilled at the opportunit­y to represent the prestigiou­s Audi brand in Sri Lanka. Our primary focus is our clients and we are working towards creating long-lasting relationsh­ips with them by offering the best possible service and attention to detail. Drive One is determined to make Audi the most sought-after automobile brand in the country by 2020.”

Drive One is in a unique position to provide unmatched after-sales services to its clients. The company has access to Audi AG’S top diagnostic informatio­n systems including after-sales support and technical assistance. This means that Drive One’s technical team will have exclusive access to vehicle history, workshop manuals and technical informatio­n to perform services, software upgrades and maintenanc­e tasks on automobile­s purchased through their dealership.

Since taking over the Audi dealership last October, Drive One has transforme­d the brand through a number of innovative measures and investment­s within a short time span.

This includes constructi­on of a state-of-theart workshop geared to provide efficient aftersales service, establishi­ng a 24 X 7 roadside assistance service, investing in employee training and expanding the workforce to ensure expert services to clients.

Drive One is on track to complete constructi­on of an Audi AG approved 100,000 square-foot, four-storey service and maintenanc­e facility in Wattala. The state-of-the-art facility will allow customers to receive a guaranteed aftersales service in keeping with the automaker’s standards related to design and quality.

In addition, since taking over the dealership, Drive One successful­ly handles regular shipments of Audi automobile­s and ensures that smooth deliveries are made to clients.

Through these milestones, Drive One has gained the trust and loyalty of its fastgrowin­g clientele.

“We are proud of what we have achieved within such a brief period, in terms of revamping the Audi brand. Drive One (Pvt.) Ltd showcases a wide range of the Audi brand portfolio that is manufactur­ed specifical­ly for Sri Lankan roads and driving conditions, fuel quality and emission standards,” stated Drive One Chief Operating Officer Anushka Polonowita.

“We offer genuine products with the manufactur­er’s warranty and after-sales service, which means that when our clients purchase an Audi automobile from us, they can be sure of an authentic and hassle-free experience,” added Polonowita.

Drive One (Pvt.) Ltd’s mission is to provide a customer-centric concept that will help reshape the Audi experience in Sri Lanka.
