With the addition of Cupra, VGS will now represent all of the Group’s ‘volume’ brands under one roof. Come 1st June 2023, both existing SEAT and Cupra customers can come to VGS for servicing, maintenance and repairs.

To welcome them into the VGS family, the group will offer complimentary vehicle inspections, special deals on service packages and service voucher giveaways. More details will be officially announced on June 1st.

Vertex Euro Motors, who is the current distributor of SEAT and Cupra, will continue to service SEAT vehicles until the end of 2023. However, any further potential service partnerships is still to be confirmed.

As of now, there are no plans by Vertex Euro Motors to continue selling SEAT models once the existing stock is cleared by the end of 2023.

This differs from Cupra, whose aftersales operations will be handled only by VGS from June 1 onwards. As for their new showroom home, retail operations for the Cupra brand by VGS will commence from 2024.

“Cupra brand’s positioning, character and electrified models fit well with our plans. Electrification is not just our focus but the Volkswagen Group’s.” said Dr. Kurt Leitner, Group Managing Director, Volkswagen Group Singapore.

Alfa Romeo has had a rocky few months at the end of 2022, having to go on a temporary hiatus due to a distributor change. Come 1st April 2023, the Italian marque finally has a new home here in Singapore.

The brand will now be represented by Capella Auto, a division of the Komoco Group. This was confirmed after news broke out that EuroAutomobile would lose distributor status for Alfa Romeo in Singapore. Since Komoco Holdings already distributes Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge, it seems fitting that Alfa Romeo joins the ranks of these Stellantis-owned brands.

A new showroom and service centre, which will be located at 1 Chang Charn Road, are poised to start service soon, as Capella Auto officially begins operations.

If you’re an existing Alfa Romeo owner, fret not! You may register your vehicle’s ownership with Capella Auto to receive the latest updates from the firm. Prospective customers can also head down to the new Alfa Romeo showroom from 1st April 2023 onwards to check out what they have on offer.

Opening hours for the showroom are between 9:00 am to 7:00 pm (Monday to Saturday) and 10:00 am to 6:00 pm (Sundays).

Operating hours for the service centre are from 8:30 am to 5:30 pm (Mondays to Fridays), and from 8:30 am to 12:30 pm (Saturdays). The service centre will be closed on Sundays and public holidays.
