- Text size
Dubai, United Arab Emirates - Car buyers in Dubai and Ras Al Khaimah looking to purchase a GMC or Chevrolet are set to benefit from the news that the two brands are now being sold and serviced in the same showrooms under the name Al Ghandi Auto.
The change stems from an agreement, effective immediately, that covers the General MotorsGeneral Motors
businesses of National Auto (NA), previously the GMC dealer in Dubai and the Northern Emirates, and Al Yousuf MotorsAl Yousuf Motors, formerly the Chevrolet dealer in Dubai and Ras Al Khaimah. As a result it is now even easier for customers to gain access to the wide and exciting range of vehicles and services offered by GMC and Chevrolet.
At the same time, Al Ghandi Auto is able to offer an even more focused and efficient service, with most of the dealer sites now able to meet customers' needs for both brands in the areas of new car sales, servicing and certified pre-owned sales, as well as for ACDelco and GM Quickservice. Customers' current warranties and other applicable agreements will continue to be honoured by Al Ghandi Auto.
With all National Auto and Al YousufAl Yousuf staff being retained by Al Ghandi Auto, the new Company can call on the considerable GM experience of its fully trained workforce of around 700.
Terry Johnsson, president of General MotorsGeneral Motors

This positive development will not only strengthen the position of Chevrolet and GMC in the UAE, where their combined sales have risen from just over 4,000 units in 2003 to almost 15,500 units by the end of November 2007 alone, but will also greatly enhance the potential for future growth, with plans for expansion already underway."As a result of the consolidation, Al Ghandi Auto will operate the following GM businesses: Chevrolet and GMC in Dubai (Sheikh Zayed Road, Deira and Ras Al Khor) and Ras Al Khaimah; GMC in Sharjah and Fujairah.
