Al Futtaim Automotive Opens Largest Showroom in the UAE at Dubai Investment Park

Al Futtaim, a group known for its excellence in trading on a diverse product scale is also prominent for offering scintillating vehicles built with immaculate craftsmanship at affordable prices not only through its outlets offering specific brands, but also through its used car dealerships eponymously given the name, ‘Automall.’ It’s become the go-to choice for the folks residing in the UAE as it offers utmost customer pacification, quality, value propositions and above all, highly competitive prices and warranty which lets it supersede other small and local rivals. 

Gauging the bandwagon that the UAE is gradually taking off to the skies in business activity and a higher demand for cars as reflected by the increase in sales has paved the way for the establishment of the Automall’s largest facility in the UAE. Likely to become a major hub for residential and business transactions, DIP was a strategic location which was chosen. 

Averaging 1,200 cars in stock, Automall UAE has become the largest retailer of pre-owned cars and provides a mileage certificate when a deal is struck. The demand has greatly accelerated for compact SUVs and small cars in recent times which give an impetus towards its inception. Automall also brings to the platter a seamless digital experience through its website where users can browse through its inventory and connect with sales execs and its inexorable focus on customers has led to its success. This is vital as a study undertaken by Frost and Sullivan concludes that consumers in the UAE give precedence to such aspects to ensure the brand value never vilipends. Its 80-years of experience is a conjecture to this. 

Customers etched by the brand and rummaging a used car, can feel elated as the company accepts all makes and models. Currently, there are over 30 brands to spoil one for choice and a wide bandwidth of Japanese, German, Korean, French and American cars are on display. The brand has also categorised some into ‘hot deals’ where a relatively less slogged and new car would be existing for a considerably low value. From SUVs, sedans & hatchbacks to pickups, lifestyle Utes and luxobarges, everything is available under the bumbershoot of Automall.

Feather on the cap, is a 20,000km warranty and a 99-point service check which every car is put through to ensure zero bottlenecks during the ownership process. A huge ambit of financing options and a seven-day money-back guarantee are other perks for its clientele to relish. Instilling a sense of fidelity in the brand, is that the local marque buys almost 1,000 vehicles in cash every month. 

Vincent Wijnen, Senior Managing Director, Al-Futtaim Automotive, said, “Al-Futtaim’s entrepreneurial spirit and relentless customer focus continually enables us to grow and expand to meet our customer’s needs. With this new opening, we aim to cater to a rise in consumer demand in the region for a more comprehensive pre-owned vehicle shopping experience. A trusted, well-respected industry name, Al-Futtaim Automotive has been operating in the region for more than 80 years so our customers can purchase with complete peace of mind as well as convenience. Our customers are particularly attracted to Automall’s seven-day moneyback guarantee.”

Ralph Howie, Managing Director at Al-Futtaim Automall commented, “We have seen an increase in sales in the market which is reflective of the growth expected in this sector in the coming years. We predict that our 2021 sales will be almost 10% higher in volume than 2019. Interestingly, we have also seen a shift towards small and midsize SUVs which now make up 50% of our sales. It was this increase in demand that led us to make the decision to open an additional facility closer to customers in the south of Dubai, an area which is likely to witness exponential growth in the coming years.”
