SHAH ALAM, 7th
DECEMBER 2017
- Aiman Motor Performance Sdn Bhd (AMP), the authorised dealer for Subaru today
unveiled its first 4S Centre – one-stop automotive aftersales solution which
unifies Sales, Services, Spare parts as well as Shop for body and paint
services under one roof for all car brands including super and premium cars.
Amirah Che Azizuddin, Chief Executive
Officer (CEO) of ARCA Corporation Sdn. Bhd. said “Malaysia is gearing towards
Industry 4.0 and our automotive sector is growing from strength to strength
every year. According to a recent study from PWC[1], 82% of Malaysians own a
car, making us one of the nations with the highest car ownership rate. On the other hand, the
increased complexity of vehicles has heightened the difficulties in performing
do-it-yourself (DIY) repairs. All these factors reinforce the necessity of a 4S
Centre to become the go-to channel for all cars’ quality maintenance and care.”
“The AMP 4S Centre is designed to
serve the needs of its customers and meet their aspirations. With 12 years of
experience in the automotive industry, we are committed to providing a premium,
convenient, fast and top-notch sales and after-sales services at an affordable

As the authorized dealer of Subaru,
AMP looks at expanding the car brand’s market share in Malaysia through the
launch of the new Subaru XV. Till
October 2017, Subaru has sold 3,867 vehicles in Malaysia, setting the brand on
14th position after Volkswagen, Ford and Hino[2].
In addition, Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV)’s demand in the ASEAN-India region has
rose 2.5-fold to 1.3 million units in the decade to 2015 which could escalate
to 2.1 million in 2020[3].
The movement to have the revamped version of Subaru XV marks another new
chapter in the brand’s aspiration, as it continues to enjoy strong demand in
the category of all-wheel drive vehicles throughout the region.
In addition to the launch of AMP’s 4S
Centre, AMP also unveiled the all new Subaru XV, a compact SUV with blockbuster
entertainment and show-stopping value. Subaru XV’s distinct features range from
its signature Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system to the inclusion of electronic
parking brake and the clever mix of bright orange and shades of grey that bring
out your active character.
Besides being an authorized dealer for
Subaru, AMP is also recognised for its involvement in Proton, Suzuki and
Chevrolet. AMP is more than an
independent service centre. In 2013, AMP signed its strategic partnership with
Motor Image, the exclusive distributor of Subaru vehicles across nine Asian
countries, including Malaysia. Since then, AMP also offers pertinent car sales
and aftersales service for Subaru, a car brand with rising popularity in the
country. This times with current
consumers’ behaviour that skew towards the practicality of owning a car[4],
in which most of them value aftersales services and car functionality over the
design of the car.
Present at the launch, Mr Reza
Mutalib, Executive Director of Motor Image, Subaru (above) shared that, “We are committed
to working with brands that are best in their fields. It has been a great
experience working with Aiman Motor Performance who shares the same vision with
us which is to provide excellent level of quality in terms of product and service
delivery to the customers. We believe that the introduction of AMP 4s Centre
with dedicated service bays can greatly benefit our customers.”
