"We strive to be a one-stop automobile service and repair center,"

reads the business motto of AutoForce Service Centre Pte Ltd at Sin Min AutoCare. AutoForce first started off as a one-man show back in 1994. Today the company is headed by Managing Director Mr Henry Liang with a staff strength of six. The company's clientele comprise of individual and corporate customers including insurance companies, motor vehicle parallel importers as well as used car dealers. Mr Liang explained " Most of our customers come to us through referrals. In fact, we have a core group of loyal customers that have been with us since the beginning!"

The company previously occupied an HDB industrial unit at Sin Ming Industrial Estate and had shifted into its current premises as a result of HDB's Relocation Programme in Dec 2000.

"Initially there were some resistance from both ourselves and our customers alike as this is a high-rise building and very different from the previous layout. But we think most of our customers now appreciate the space, cleaner environment and more professional image we project here. They also feel safer leaving their cars in our hands!!" exclaimed Mr Liang.

AutoForce believes in providing quality services with a personal touch. For example, one can expect chauffeur services to MRT stations or nearby shopping centers while waiting for your car to be serviced.

The company with an annual turnover of $500,000 also puts a lot of emphasis on staff training. " We sponsor our staff to training courses as and when necessary to better equip them as we believe in boosting staff morale. This will in turn hopefully translate into excellent services for our customers," opined Mr Liang.

The company's existing website is set to undergo a major revamp upon Spring Singapore's funding approval. Ambitious plans for the new site include online appointment booking facilities, SMS reminder features, promotion corner for both in-house and even customers' products as well as second-hand cars sale online.

AutoForce is also looking into expanding its business overseas, specifically in Western Australia. The company is in the midst of applying for grants from IESingapore.
