Volkswagen Centre Singapore expands

More than 1,300 Volkswagen customers packed the newly expanded Volkswagen Centre Singapore during its official opening on the evening of 16 July 2010.

Also in attendance were Volkswagen's business partners and VIPs including the Ambassadors of the European Union, Poland and Mexico.

Said Dr Zeno Kerschbaumer, the Managing Director of Volkswagen Group Singapore to the customers: "It is thanks to your continuous suggestions that we decided to further expand our operations, both in staff and facilities. My hope is that you as our valuable customers will appreciate the investments done."

The number of Service Advisors has been increased from six to 13, while there are now seven Service Receptionists, up from two, to give customers the best possible service experience. A new information system, which tracks the service progress of customers' cars in real time, has also been installed.

Team Singapore racer and Scirocco Cup driver Ringo Chong is one Volkswagen customer who will enjoy the new facilities.

Chong, 43, was announced as the first owner of the all new Scirocco R during the event. He will take delivery of his car in August 2010.

"I tell people that I am buying this car for my wife. But I will grab the keys whenever possible so I can also learn how to drive my Scirocco Cup race car better!" said Chong, who is now into his second season of the Scirocco Cup series.

The one-make series features Volkswagen Sciroccos which are identical to the road-going model, save for minor modifications. Follow this link http://www.oneshift.com/articles/article.php?artid=746 to read more about the Scirocco Cup.
