New "One Stop Car Shop" opening in Dubai Jun 01, 2007
Hi,

We will be opening, this autumn, a really exciting, new concept in Car Accessory stores, on similar lines to stores available in Japan, the USA and the UK. We are partnered with one of the largest companies in this specialist field in the world.

Our stores will be large, offering a huge range of products, including:

Allow wheels and tyres - upto 24"
Car Audio Visual products - from major companies and specialist products
Car interior products - seats, seatbelts, gear knobs etc etc
Car performance products
Car styling products, including window tinting, graphics bays
cleaning and chemical products
car cleaning, valeting and detailing
A huge range of accessories
magazines, books and videos and fun gifts

We will also be offering an installation service, in custom built, fully equipped installation centres, on all the products we sell, including "custom installations"

We will have several awesome demo cars at each of our stores.

We already have two major stores opening this autumn and several stores opening next year. We are part of a very large Group in the UAE and our management team have over 15 years international experience working in this industry

I would be really grateful for any feedback from you guys. What would you like to see, what problems have you encountered over here with existing suppliers etc etc.

We have a number of key staff members, but we are also looking for a number of key staff in Sales and Installation and so if you know of anyone who my fit the bill or if anyone reading this is interested let me know. (I will also put this in the "jobs" section)

Thanks in advance for any feedback

If prices are decent, people will definitely come. The only things we have here now the amateur shops with fake products for budget-conscious people, and the top-tier outfits for ultra-rich people. Nothing in between. Many of the "good" outfits are also hidden away in the industrial areas, so most people don't know their locations.

the QUALITY of workmanship is very important too.
for example if i am going to spend 10,000 AED on a car stereo, i expect the installer to be highly skilled and actually knows what he is doing.

or if i was going to buy new rims, the sales guy should know what 'wheel offset' means :)

Great! Where is the location of your future shop?

Would be great to see more car interior accessories. For example in HK and Japan there are many "handy" car accessaries, ranging from pocket holder, cushion seat belts, fancy cup holder to car figurines.

These variety may attract many "young" customers here.

Car Guy,

I am the owner of one of the best, if not the best detailing and valeting companies in Abu Dhabi. Our products range from the basic meguiars products all the way to the high end Zymol products. We have a huge client base in Abu Dhabi including many large dealerships.

Detailing requires a lot of skill and experience. Inexperienced detailers can severely damage the vehicles paint.

If you are interested in finding the right guys to do your valeting services email me on:

microabudhabi@hotmail.com
