Over the past 22 years, Millennium Auto has demonstrated great business potential and commitment to be a strong part of our success in Thailand. Millennium Auto's dedication has been instrumental in enabling us to achieve outstanding performance as Thailand’s Number One in the premium segment during the past two years and continuing into the first eight months of 2022. I trust that the potential of Millennium Auto, with more than ten showrooms and service centres across the country, will give the customers confidence in our sales and service excellence and grow harmoniously towards a successful future.
“For this new fully-fledged dealership outlet, a new customer retail concept has been introduced. This is called the 'Retail Next' concept, which has been integrated in the building’s design for the first time in Southeast Asia, fusing modernity with digitalisation. I strongly believe that Millennium Auto Pattanakarn-Srinakarin will create strategic synergy within our BMW dealer network, as well as giving a strong boost to customer satisfaction in the Pattanakarn and Srinakarin districts.”
