Jeddah, Saudi Arabia: Petromin, Nissan’s authorized car dealer in Saudi Arabia, crossed another milestone by inaugurating a new dealership in Jeddah City. The new branch is now the second to open in Jeddah, reaching people from across the city to have access to the highest service standards by Nissan.

Integrated to provide variety of services, the branch is a 3-S facility that is visually and technically updated in all areas to meet consumer expectations for retail facilities. It provides consumers with vehicle sales, parts outlet, quick service and aftersales service.
