GHK Motors

What GHK Motors does

GHK Motors Sdn Bhd is a privately held automotive franchise distributor founded in 1973 and headquartered in Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei Darussalam. The company is the exclusive distributor for 10 automotive brands in the country — Mitsubishi (since 1979), Daihatsu (since 1973), Perodua, Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Alfa Romeo, MG, Maxus, and Changan — spanning economy through premium segments. Mitsubishi light trucks hold over 90% of Brunei's commercial vehicle market share, making commercial fleet sales a structural pillar of the business.

The company operates a vertically integrated distribution and after-sales network comprising two retail showrooms in Bandar Seri Begawan (Beribi and Sumbangsih), a branch showroom in Kuala Belait, three workshops (GHK Workshop, DAHA Workshop, and a specialized Worldwide Motors Workshop serving Alfa Romeo, Chrysler, Jeep, and Dodge), and a dedicated Parts Centre that distributes genuine spare parts to third-party repair workshops nationwide. Revenue is generated through three streams: one-time vehicle sales across the multi-brand portfolio, transaction-based spare parts distribution, and professional workshop/after-sales services.

GHK reaches customers through company-owned physical showrooms, brand-specific social media channels (Facebook and Instagram), a corporate website with brochure downloads and promotional content, and an online test drive scheduling system. The customer base is split between individual vehicle buyers (personal/family transportation) and commercial/fleet buyers (light trucks, cargo vans, customizable platforms). The company has invested over decades in workshop equipment, technician training (local and international), and customer experience enhancements such as lounges with smart TVs and wireless charging. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is negotiated at the dealership level.
