Tire retailing in Malaysia has always been big with many multi brand tire shops doing brisk business. All local tire manufacturers have built a strong foothold in the market with franchise outlets and also corporate owned tire service centers. One major tire player who has been in the sidelines in the retail business since its introduction here in Malaysia has been ‘Bridgestone Malaysia’. All this is about to change as they start a whole new retailing arm with the brand name ‘AutoCare and Tire’ which in recent years have grown from a handful of outlets to its 8th outlet in the month of March 2010.
This 8th ‘AutoCare and Tire’ outlet was recently opened in SS18 Subang Jaya right across the Police station along the LebuhRaya Pantai Baru at No 53, Jalan SS18/1B, Subang Jaya. Speaking at the opening, Bridgestone Malaysia voiced their commitment in providing the best after care service for car owners, not only in replacement tires, but also for car servicing and maintenance with full service facilities and the very best in tire car service.
All 8 ‘AutoCare and Tire’ centers are wholly owned by Bridgestone Malaysia and this means their emphasis is returning value of money to their customers whether it is just for tire replacement or just a simple car engine service. All 8 ‘AutoCare and Tire’ centers operate 7 days a week and offer a comfortable waiting room and easy customer access.
