MERCEDES-BENZ MALAYSIA TOGETHER WITH HAP SENG UNVEILS THE HAP SENG KUCHING AUTOHAUS - THE FIRST INTEGRATED ONE STOP CENTRE IN EAST MALAYSIA

Mercedes-Benz Malaysia Sdn Bhd (MBM) together with authorised dealer partner Hap Seng, today unveiled its first integrated one-stop 3S centre, Hap Seng Kuching Autohaus, in East Malaysia. The Hap Seng Kuching Autohaus is unique in its outlook. It features two dedicated reception lounges, one for customers of Mercedes-Benz Cars and another for Mercedes-Benz and FUSO Commercial Vehicles.



Hap Seng has to date invested a total of RM237 million in enhancing and expanding their Mercedes-Benz dealerships and centres so that customers can have better access and interaction at these facilities. Out of that amount, this new Hap Seng Kuching Autohaus had cost RM53 million alone. An achievement on its own bringing higher levels of customer experience to Mercedes-Benz customers in East Malaysia.


This new Autohaus is strategically situated in the heart of Kuching, and will cater to a wide selection of customers ranging from industrial players to the local business community. This is actually quite a new concept in terms of how an Autohaus is usually like as there hasn't been one with such a combined concept here that I know of. Of course, it does kill two birds with one stone. Note the photo above which is the part handling the commercial vehicles compared to the one above it.

This 3S centre has a built-up area of 18,383 sq m and it also adheres to the Mercedes-Benz Presentation System II (MPS II). It is a full-fledged 3S centre and is managed by 40 personnel who are trained and equipped with knowledge in sales, technical services and spare parts matters. The service centre is capable of servicing up to 510 vehicles a month and has 16 work bays and a spray booth for paint repairs (shown right below).  The Autohaus is also equipped with an integrated full length work pit, capable of servicing an extensive range of Mercedes-Benz and FUSO Commercial Vehicles.

Hap Seng Kuching Autohaus is located at Lot 11298, Section 64, KTLD, Jalan Datuk Abang Abdul Rahim, 93450 Kuching, Sarawak. 


Everything feels familiar. No different from any other Mercedes-Benz centre located in the Klang Valley...
..except they do service trucks in a single location.
