SISMA AUTO’S 3S CENTRE OPENS

Firm wants to leverage experience as franchise dealer to offer premium experience to luxury car owners

- FARAH ADILLA KUALA LUMPUR bt@nst.com.my

SISMA Auto (KL) Sdn Bhd has opened the Sisma Auto Hub, a premium multibrand 3S (sales, service and spare parts) centre for customers to buy, sell or service any brand of luxury car, at what was previously the Jaguar Land Rover 3S centre in Glenmarie, Shah Alam.

This follows the move by Jaguar Land Rover (M) Sdn Bhd (JLRM), a joint-venture between Sisma Auto and Sime Darby Bhd, to consolidat­e its retail operations in Malaysia.

Sisma Auto said the move saw the acquisitio­n of dealer assets and transfer of staff from Sime Darby Auto Connexion and Sisma Auto as well as the consolidat­ion of retail operations to Ara Damansara, Selangor, and Jalan Sultan Ahmad Shah, Penang.

Sisma Auto said while it retained significan­t interest in the Jaguar Land Rover business as a joint-venture partner in JLRM, it planned to leverage its experience as a franchise dealer for Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo to offer the same premium 3S experience for other luxury car brands.

“We believe that a premium 3S experience should be available to all luxury car owners.

“At Sisma Auto Hub, our highly trained team will provide the same level of exceptiona­l service that you have come to expect from Sisma Auto,” said managing director Syed Khalil Syed Ibrahim.

Sisma Auto also operates two Volvo outlets in Bukit Bintang and Glenmarie, next to Sisma Auto Hub.

Volvo Car Malaysia awarded Sisma Auto the coveted “Dealer of the Year” award in 2020 and last year.

“Sisma Auto aims to continue to grow with the Volvo brand in Malaysia and has started constructi­on of its flagship Volvo 3S facility in Sungai Besi.

“The 50,000 sq ft facility spreads over four floors, and represents a significan­t expansion of Sisma Auto’s Volvo business,” said the company.

The facility is expected to begin operations at the end of this year.
