Auto Italia moves to Section 13, PJ
Alfa Romeo distributors Sime Darby Auto Italia Sdn Bhd has moved their premises from the previous location at Glenmarie, Shah Alam to a site next to it’s sister company Land Rover (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd at 19 Jalan 13/2 in Section 13, Petaling Jaya.
The new premises will be open 8.00 am to 5.30 pm on weekdays, 8.30 am to 2.30 pm on Saturdays and by appointment on Sundays. The relocation is welcome, as it brings Auto Italia closer to its customer base and target market. Glenmerie can be considered pretty far for someone to travel.
“Our service centre will have the best equipment and specialised tools while our parts centre remains the most comprehensive in the country with more than 2,000 original line items to cater to most Alfa Romeos in Malaysia. We are looking to grow the service centre throughput now that it is more accessible than ever,†said Auto Italia General Manager Lim Boon Leong.
For directions to Auto Italias new premises in Petaling Jaya, please call 03-5569 8800.

I think Glenmarie is not suited to them as there are a few car brands around for the customers to choose from. Autobavaria - BMW, Euromobil - Audi and VW, Honda, Saab, Porsche, etc are all situated there !
There are too many choices to make, and customers could just hop from one showroom to another, no distractions.
Alfa looses out due to the pricing of the vehicles. Ofcourse, the main
disadvantage is its legendary reliability concerns.
By shifting out to SS13, customers would be more focused to the brand and not be distracted by other car brands around.
Funny, everyone’s moving to Glenmarie as everyone knows that this place would be the hub for automobile showcase, but Alfa moving out?
Not competitive enough. Will affect the image since it is moving from a new and grand premise to an old/renovated smaller entity.
That’s how biz like.
