Brooklands Motors’ New Showroom Mooted the Best MG Rover Showroom in the World
THE BROOKLANDS CENTRE – DELIVERING ON A PROMISE
Kuala Lumpur: 8 April: “Looking at the site and Brooklands Motors’ plans for the new Brooklands Centre, this could well become the most impressive MG Rover sales and service facility anywhere in the world, said Mr. Russ Thomas, the MG Rover (UK) business development manager who visited the site while it was under renovation in December last year.
The names Rover and MG have long been held in great esteem in the Malaysian motoring circles. It must be said however that until most recently these great marques had been lying low. However since Brooklands Motors Sdn Bhd was appointed as their importer and distributor here, the phoenix has risen, and it is time for Rover and MG to reclaim their place among the elite motoring brands in Malaysia.
When Brooklands Motors stated its intention and gave its commitment to the MG Rover brand, little did anyone expect the level of professionalism and the fiscal input that they would invest in this endeavour.
Recently, within six months on the return of the Rover and MG brands to our shores, The Brooklands Centre, an ultra-modern facility for MG Rover and the new headquarters for Brooklands Motors started operations at No. 11 Jalan Satu, Off Jalan Chan Sow Lin, Kuala Lumpur on 21 March 2005.
“The Brooklands Centre has a total land area of 44,320 square feet with a built up area of 39,550 square feet, including an 8,400 square feet workshop, 8,400 square feet parts storage area, 10,000 square feet showroom and 11,700 square feet of office space. There are various customer convenience areas and our guests can catch a movie on a 42 inch plasma screen, make use of our complimentary Wi-Fi access to surf the net or just relax at our customer lounge area that is also equipped with a coffee-bar. We also made sure that it could offer every possible convenience that a demanding business person would expect; this
philosophy even extends to the air conditioned double size restrooms, said Encik Muhammad Fadhil Ahmad, Chief Executive Officer and Director of Brooklands Motors.
The Brooklands Centre workshop has everything and anything that a customer or his Rover or MG might need. It has the complete MG Rover diagnostics computer equipment, wheel alignment and balancing facilities including seven bays of two-post vehicle lifts, a four-post vehicle lift and a scissor vehicle lift. Customers can also observe the work being done on their cars through the glass panels that separate the guests waiting area between the showroom and the workshop. There is also a dedicated service customer reception area for consultation with MG Rover Service Advisors.
Encik Muhammad Fadhil added, “The large showroom area can accommodate 15 cars comfortably and there are three dedicated glass cubicles for us to conduct discussions with sales prospects free from any disturbances. Besides that, a coffee-bar and children’s playroom are also available for the convenience of our guests and their families, during their visit to our showroom area.
“We are confident that with The Brooklands Centre and our other MG Rover 3S centres in Penang, Johor Bahru, Miri and Kuching as well as the Kota Kinabalu sales showroom and its soon to be opened service centre, will enhance customer confidence in the brand and boost the sales of Rover and MG vehicles in Malaysia, he said.
Encik Muhammad Fadhil, also said that with such a significant investment made to infrastructure and such attention to detail in making the Brooklands Centre a truly modern and self sufficient facility, MG Rover is truly here for the long term.
