Cycle & Carriage Bintang opens updated Mutiara Damansara Autohaus

When Cycle & Carriage opened its Mercedes-Benz Autohaus facility in Mutiara Damansara back in 2006, it was the first Mercedes-Benz dealership in the country to adopt the Autohaus concept.

Fast forward to today, it’s time for an upgrade to maintain the high standards of service that Mercedes-Benz dealerships are known for. There are also more Mercedes-Benz dealers today so competition is fiercer than ever before.

To stay ahead, the Mutiara Damansara Autohaus has now been upgraded to feature Mercedes-Benz Malaysia’s latest retail concept – the first for a Mercedes-Benz dealer in the country.

The new concept aims to create memorable moments for the customer by using a combination of personal contact and digital elements in advice, sales and service. The four elements of this new retail concept are - Media & IT, Format, People & Process and Architecture.

The Star Assistant is the first contact for the customer in the showroom, who acts as the "first face" of the brand ensuring a very welcoming atmosphere at reception.

The rest of the showroom’s architecture are designed to integrate well with digital media, which will be used very extensively to promote a more intense product experience.

The previous Autohaus features distinctively different interior design for different sections of the showroom floor. Now, spatial boundaries within the building are kept to a minimum to deliberately create an open-space feeling.

Commenting on the launch, President & CEO of MBM, Dr. Claus Weidner said, “The new brand presence redefines the future of retail. At Mercedes-Benz, we take great pride in making the customer journey just as fulfilling as the ride ahead. We strongly believe that the introduction of this new brand presence will enable us to better cater to customers together with our trusted partner.”

Adding to that, CEO of Cycle & Carriage Bintang, Mr. Wilfrid Foo said that, “We are proud to be the very first to bring this new Mercedes-Benz brand presence and experience to our customers in Malaysia. And to us, innovation is in the ability to bring to life an experience that addresses the unmet and unarticulated need. Today’s launch is a milestone in our journey to achieve that ambition.”
