PGA Cars restarts sales and services today

MANILA: Audi, Bentley, Lamborghini, and Porsche are back in business as PGA Cars, Inc., the official and exclusive importer and distributor of these premium brands, resumes operations today. 

Physical sales and service operations have restarted following a lengthy shuttering due to COVID-19 quarantine restrictions. 

Still, like all going back to (physical) business, the company will be following strict protocols in this age of the pandemic. In a release, PGA Cars said "physical operations (will be marked by) a strict compliance to the most stringent sanitation protocols as it places in highest priority the health and safety of its clients, guests and workforce."

The company has also begun to explore virtual operations using digital tools "in response to new market conditions."

While continuing pre-pandemic practices as such as the regular disinfection of facilities and vehicles, and providing hand sanitizers to all personnel, PGA Cars is implementing additional measures to ensure safety of both customers and personnel.

First, servicing will be done by appointment only. All vehicles will be disinfected upon arrival and prior to release to customers. 

Guests and employees entering the facilities will be required to wear masks, get a thermal check, remove outer clothing, submit a health form, wash their hands, and step on a foot bath mat. Signs promoting social distancing will be placed within the premises. Showroom visitors will also have to book ahead. 

PGA Cars says the resumption of its business "follows the four brands’ resumption of manufacturing operations in their home markets." 

On May 4 , Porsche's Zuffenhausen and Leipzig factories gradually "phased in" production. Volumes are expected to be ramped up  over the following weeks. At Audi, around 1,500 employees reported back to work last April 29 as the company resumed auto manufacturing at its main plant in Ingolstadt. Lamborghini resumed producing super sports cars and SUVs at its factory in Sant’Agata Bolognese last May 4, and launched online its new Huracán EVO Rear-Wheel Drive. Finally, Bentley commenced its own phased return to making cars at its Crewe, England, headquarters last May 11, with full manufacturing operations scheduled to beginning today.

"Observed in all these resumption of operations are new sanitation and health safety protocols that adhere—if not surpass—those mandated by national governments," PGA Cars said.
