Maxx ‘N Go was founded in 2016 by CEO Patrick Tam as a mobile car care assistant application that looks to provide to-your-doorstep car care services focusing on motor oil change. Still on course with the earlier announcement, the company is currently in the works to introduce new services by expanding their offerings around breakdown assistance and dealing with vehicular wear and tear, including services like brake pad and air filter replacement.

Distinguishing itself from other apps that deal only with car roadside assistance, Maxx ‘N Go presents a viable business model by positioning itself as a platform to deliver a comprehensive, on-demand car care experience which includes regular care as well as breakdown rescue.

“We aspire to make life better for every car owner by saving them precious time from going to workshops for minor fixes, and giving them more time to spend with their families.” said Patrick.

This year, Maxx ‘N Go will head to Southern Malaysia. “We will be actively looking for local partners in order to expand our service reach as well as accelerate our growth. This plan is looking to raise our sales by 30%,” said Stanley Yet, Sales Director of Maxx ‘N Go.

Commenting on the investment, Benjamin Shi, an investor from China said, “The mobile application market is highly lucrative. This is proven in China given its advancement into the industry. Moreover, the rapidly booming Southeast Asia markets are full of potential. I believe that Maxx ‘N Go, being the first in Malaysia to provide on-demand car care services, will achieve greater heights in the region. On top of this, I have strong confidence in Patrick and his team. Given their track records, I am highly positive about the future prospects of this project.”
