Tell us a little bit about MHV's history

Volkswagen was the first automotive brand selected into the business of automotive dealership by Ming Heng Group of Companies. We established our Volkswagen 3S Centre at Jalan Gombak in 2012 and upgraded to 4S Centre in 2017.

Throughout our tenure we have strived to include the best possible customer service with top-notch of high-quality repair and maintenance work which has leads MHV to become the best Volkswagen Dealer with four years consecutive awards in 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020.

MHV has consistently been awarded Best Volkswagen Dealer. How did you achieve this?

We feel enormously privileged to be recognised for four years as the Best Volkswagen Dealership. The awards are a testament of what MHV has achieved through hard work and dedication.

One of the keys to our success is our people working together with the goals of being the best player in the market, conduct ourselves in an honest and professional manner serving the needs of our customers. It has been a wonderful achievement we have strengthened by leaps and bounds together - but I believe the best is yet to come.

We make customer satisfaction the top priority in our organisation, and we aim to be the preferred Volkswagen authorised dealer.
