Al Masaood Automobiles takes Infiniti inlands
Al Masaood Automobiles (AMA), the exclusive distributor of Infiniti in Abu Dhabi and Al Ain, has announced massive expansion plans in the Sila region, about 400 km from Abu Dhabi.
Al Masaood Automobiles has been exploring opportunities in the Western Region of Abu Dhabi Emirate for some time, and now intend to serve the transport needs of those living further away from the capital with the Infiniti range including the QX80 that is a popular model, thanks to the terrain. The new project, which will include service, spare parts and sales across 600,000 sq. ft. area will take off in Sila during 2017.
Additionally, Al Masaood Automobiles has announced the formation of a dedicated fleet division for corporate clients and businesses.
