Publisher and Chairman Welcome to the 2019 edition of the Bahrain Automotive & Motoring Guide – the little book with a whole lot of invaluable information. Our handy, pocket-sized guide has been thoroughly researched to provide details of all the major players in the Kingdom’s motoring sector, from big-name passenger and commercial vehicle dealerships to smaller garages specialising in used motors and less established marques. We’ve also listed the whole range of services needed to keep our beloved vehicles on the road, from body workshops to repair centres, tyre suppliers to spare parts centres and even finance and insurance providers. For the days when you need a little extra help, we’ve also included taxi and limousine services and even freight options for when a regular car just doesn’t cut it. All the listings are compiled in a simple-to-use, alphabetical format including locations and phone numbers allowing you to find the information you require easily and quickly. We all know that, in Bahrain, having your own transport – from a beloved new model to a used vehicle that ticks all your boxes or a rental or lease car that allows you get from A to B – is pretty much essential. Homes and workplaces are frequently quite some distance apart and, certainly during the summer months, protection from the elements is important too. Bahrain is known internationally as a cultural melting pot and, in recent years, the commercial sector has grown significantly with new businesses starting up on an almost weekly basis. The country’s automotive and motoring sectors have kept pace with that growth. From official distributors offering the latest models in just about every brand you can think of to service providers delivering a complete range of options to keep residents and visitors on the move. In this guide we hope to provide you with an opportunity to explore the full range of what the Kingdom has to offer. ■ 7

HETHER your car is your passion or simply a means to get from A to B, there is no doubt that, for most of us, the purchase of a vehicle, whether new or pre-owned, is one of the biggest investments we will make. There are a huge number of factors to take into account when choosing a new or used car – space, performance, fuel economy, safety, looks, comfort – the list is virtually endless. And, unless you’re very knowledgeable, it’s always a good idea to talk to an expert who can help solidify your wish-list into a concrete shortlist of make and model possibilities. Virtually every international manufacturer is served by a dealership in Bahrain where brand-trained professionals can give you the lowdown on their offerings. You’ll find Lexus and Toyota at EK Kanoo, MercedesBenz new and used vehicles as well as an extensive service centre at Al Haddad Motors, Behbehani Brothers looks after Porsche and VW as well as Chrysler models and the ever-popular Jeep, and Mohammed Jalal & Sons is the place for fun motors, such as the new Jimny from Suzuki. There are also multi-brand dealerships such as Al Aali Motors where you will find a range of both new and used vehicles. From high-end to the more affordable sector, there is something to meet every budget, all offering a range of models and

regular special deals. Deciding which type of vehicle to purchase, however, is just the tip of the iceberg. Finance undeniably plays a role and, while some might go for a brand-new car with a warranty and service package, others might feel a secondhand car offers better value for money. Should you prefer to seek out a used vehicle, this area is also well served. Many of the large dealerships have pre-owned sections offering specific marques backed by service history and, often, useful warranties. There is also a thriving used-car sector, many traders are connected with rental and leasing companies which offer great deals when they are replacing their customer stock. The good news is there is a right car at the right price for every person and your options are vast. All you need to do is weigh your criteria, because, at the end of the day, the choice comes down to personal preference. To give you some ideas of what’s available, read on for our passenger car guide. 8

The Business of Transport
F
OR anyone who’s driven in Bahrain, it will come as no surprise that commercial vehicles account for a significant number of the Kingdom’s road users. And, of course, we’re not just talking about the large trucks, which transport everything from building materials to new vehicles. Minibuses, coaches, taxis, refrigerated trucks, fire engines, ambulances and more, all fall into this category. These vehicles play a huge role in supporting Bahrain’s infrastructure and economy carrying out thousands of tasks from moving people to collecting rubbish and pumping up flood water. There are many choices for commercial vehicles with some brands, such as MAN Trucks, Scania Trucks and Tata Bus, concentrating solely on this section of the market. The industry even boasts some bespoke creations and many major manufacturers offer to create vehicles based on customers’ requirements. What’s often overlooked, though, is the place manufacturers more readily associated with the passenger-vehicle market play in this segment. Mercedes-Benz, for example, is famed for its luxurious
premium sedans and coupés but it is also one of the world’s biggest producers of commercial vehicles such as vans and trucks. The same can be said for the likes of Volvo and Renault. Virtually everywhere you turn in Bahrain, you will find minibuses – transporting staff, doing airport pick-ups for the numerous hotels, delivering food for supermarket and restaurant customers. You name it, the minibus can be pressed into service to help. And the number of makers is simply staggering. Mercedes, ford, Toyota, Nissan, Hyundai are all very strong in this segment and also make the workhorse pickups too. You could say companies are spoilt for choice. And when it comes to selecting the right vehicle for you, you need to ask yourself what are the specific requirements of your business? Who is going to give you the best fleet of vehicles, and, afterwards, the best servicing and maintenance? Your vehicles out on the road are one of the public faces of your business, so making the right choice is crucial. The following pages list all the main official distributors whose expert personnel are there to help you make that all-important decision. 19

The Convenient Option
G
IVEN the roasting temperatures for several months of the year and the considerable distances from the major residential areas, where many of us live, to the commercial centres, where we work, having some form of transport is pretty much essential in Bahrain. But, if you’re not in the country long-term or just don’t want to commit to financing a large purchase right at this moment, you may wish to consider vehicle rental or leasing. On a short trip, it’s easy to just grab a vehicle at the airport to cover your stay. But if you’re looking at a longer-term option, contrary to what some people believe, there are several benefits to leasing rather than buying a car. Wear and tear are taken into account in the rental price. Heading to that time when your vehicle needs its regular service? No problem, just hand it back to the rental company, drive away in your replacement car, and pick it up when it’s all done. New tyres needed? Likewise. And many rental agencies offer breakdown cover too. Another big plus is the accident
cover. If it’s your own car, the smallest prang can mean hours of phone time, days without your vehicle while it’s repaired and all manner of other hassles. With a rental car, the company simply hands over the keys to a replacement and the insurance you’ve paid on the vehicle picks up the bill. Vehicle value depreciation is something else to take into account when deciding whether to rent or buy. Some would argue that paying rental on a car is simply empty money, whereas buying will lead to a saleable asset. But, new cars immediately decrease in value and insurance, maintenance and servicing must also be considered. Lease vehicles are available at very reasonable prices and can actually work out just as cheap in the long run. The decision on whether to rent or buy will depend on your personal circumstances but if you do decide to go down this route, there are plenty of companies to choose from such as Avenue Car Rental & Leasing, Kanoo Vehicle Leasing, Kanoo Daily Rental, Avis Rent A Car, Shoneez Rent A Car and Tasheelat Car Leasing Co (TCL). ■ 26

Keeping You Moving
C
ONGRATULATIONS on the decision to buy your own vehicle, be it a spanking new model, a pre-owned car, a classic or a workhorse. Now comes the less fun, but no less important part – looking after your investment. And that means dealing with annual insurance, servicing and maintenance costs. Adequate car care, including regular servicing and tyre, oil and water checks are essential not just to keep your vehicle in tip-top condition but also in terms of safety and resale value too. Maintaining a strict service routine and history will help you pre-empt possible mechanical issues. With new cars, it’s advised to undertake this programme through the manufacturer’s authorised service centre. For second-hand vehicles, this can be seen as an advantage but is not essential as long as you use a professional and reputable garage, of which Bahrain has plenty such as Awal Garage and Shaker Garage. To keep costs down, it’s a good thing to learn basic selfmaintenance. Know how much pressure should be in your tyres and
top up your radiator water regularly. And, if that sounds like too much hard work, bear in mind that it’s much easier to check your oil levels regularly than shell out for a new engine after neglect causes failure. However, there are also many parts of a car service which cannot be carried out at home and which require the skills, expertise and tools that a mechanic has to offer. Mechanics will check the inside and outside, as well as the inner workings, to make sure that everything is running smoothly. They will check for parts, which may be wearing out so that you have plenty of warning if they need to be replaced. If your car is older or secondhand, maintaining it at the manufacturer’s service centre is not always necessary. However, you should always try to ensure the parts your chosen garage is using are brand-recognised as suitable. If not, you may find that substandard imitation parts are being used which could fail prematurely, resulting in a breakdown, or worse, an accident. To help get you started, here are the major service centres in Bahrain. 34

RETTY much from the day you get your driving licence, you will be aware that there’s a lot more to being on the road than putting the key in the ignition. The backroom services are what help us stay mobile and safe. Bahrain is served by an extensive range of automotive facilities that enables the motoring sector to deliver anything we might need for our wheels. The car dealer may hand you the keys to a brand-new or used vehicle but a lack of available repair and maintenance workshops could leave it off the road more often than on it. Finding the right spare part can sometimes be a chore, particularly if we want to ensure the workshop is using genuine parts. There’s an endless list of garages willing to help us keep our cars in working order. Want to ‘pimp your ride’? Then look out for customisation services, such as SMS Design & Performance, which has a long and trusted history. Or maybe you just want to give your vehicle a deep clean and spruce up, for that there are even companies that will
come to your home or office. Perhaps one of the most important components of any car are is its tyres. Luckily, the island is packed with quick-fix shops that can change worn-out tyres in no time at all and this is a service that’s also attracted mobile operators. Of course, there are times when we don’t have our own vehicles; taxis and limo services, such as Speedy Motors Services or Arabian Taxi Company, are there to help. If our vehicle breaks down, we may need a tow truck; there are also a number of roadside-assistance options. And if we’ve got a big load to carry, we can turn to transport companies such as Circle Freight. And what about buying the car in the first place? From retail banks to niche financing providers, we can arrange a loan that is tailored to our needs and works within a budget. Plus, of course, motor insurance not only offers the comfort of knowing that, if you’re in an accident, the bills will be taken care of, it’s also required by law! Options for all these services can be found in our pages. 44

speedy motors
The Multi-Service Option
F
OUNDED in 1974 by HE Shaikh Khalid bin Mohamed Al Khalifa, Speedy Motors operated the first radio taxi service in the country, it was also the first to install meters in all its vehicles. In addition to taxis, Speedy Motors has built up a reputable car repair garage, at Isa Town offering motorists a vast range of services, including: painting, dent repair, detailing, valeting, mechanical and electrical repairs as well as a fleet of fine trucks to assist in times of an unfortunate breakdown or accident. The company expanded into Saudi Arabia with a luxury chauffeur drive fleet 10 years ago, providing customers with a relaxing, stress-free journey between the two countries. This trip proves equally popular for family shopping expeditions as for inter-country business necessities. Another important division within the Speedy Motors Group is the Europcar rental franchise, offering a multitude of vehicles for a self-drive rental option, or for chauffeur driven bookings. Impressively, Speedy Motor Services has kept abreast of time and technology with its revamped website, www.speedymotors.com; a website portal, and a mobile app. And in recent times Speedy has
surprised customers with the launch of a new taxi fleet, replacing its well-known Crown Victoria vehicles with the even more spacious Ford Flex, which provides ample room for luggage or anything else you might wish to transport. Speedy Motors is also able to arrange tailor-made chartered bus trips upon request, including, but not limited to, Umrah and Haj. As the agent of Saudi Public Transport Company (SAPTCO) for bus transportation between Bahrain, Saudi (KSA), Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), Egypt and Jordan, Speedy Motor Services is also authorised to book your journey and issue your tickets to your chosen destination. Any of Speedy’s services may be easily booked online or through the Speedy Motor Services app which is available to download at the App Store or Play Store. Phone bookings are accepted via the company’s 24-hour GPSenabled Call Centre on 17 682999 where the courteous, multilingual staff will promptly confirm your booking. With all this on offer, Speedy Motor Services really does have all your motoring and transport needs covered. ■ 54
