Celebrating The Success Of Maxx ‘N Go, Founder Patrick Shares His Adventurous Journey To Success
Maxx ‘N Go Founder Patrick Tam reveals significant decisions made through intuitive foresight to rise as an entrepreneur and grow a company that best serves its customers.
February 02, 2018 /PRWIRE.asia/ -- Patrick Tam is a proud Malaysian and true to his adventurous nature, he is always charging forward in both his career and in his passion as a racer.
But success never came easy and his humble journey began in his first small entrepreneurial venture. He has always had such a passion for the automotive industry till 2001, when he realized his desire to be part of it and started a car modification shop. This venture has helped him understand the joy of bringing value to his customers and became the first stepping stone that propelled him into the path of entrepreneurship.
By the year 2002, he began to search for ways to bring his company to greater heights. Never having been one to turn down a challenge, Patrick saw the possibility of profiting through what was considered an uncharted course then — the Internet. Through alibaba.com, Patrick brought car part products from China to the US.
Recognizing the potential of the US market as the biggest automotive market in the world and the need for better quality products, he kick-started his own production line and created the brand Forged Racing. 2 years later, Patrick made his mark and became the first Malaysian to set up an automotive racing part company in the US.
The Industry-loved Forged Racing aluminium radiator was founded by Patrick Tam.
Still unsatisfied by his progress, he wanted to serve more customers by providing them with the best he could. As a racer himself, he understood how using the best motor oil can help maximize the vehicle’s performance. Patrick’s next course of action was clear, and he ventured into launching his own brand of motor lubricant oil in 2010, which expanded into the Chinese and Malaysian markets, in 2012 and 2013 respectively.
Conventional has never been Patrick’s modus operandi as can be seen by his expansion from west to east, and this continued when he realized that the car servicing model itself needed an overhaul.
“The customer always has to make the first move. They have to make a reservation and then they have to drive their cars to the workshops. Instead of that, why can’t we make it easier and bring the service to them,” said Patrick.
The idea of Maxx ‘N Go was conceived at that point. He believed that the next wave of change would hit the consumer behavior market, and bringing further digitization to the automotive industry, he created a platform to bring on-demand car servicing to customers.

Besides growing himself as an entrepreneur, Patrick expresses his incredible passion for the automotive industry through his participation in motorsports. Having never missed an opportunity to race since 2003, he brought home the championship once again at his latest race, the Toyota Gazoo Racing Festival 2017.

When asked about the difficulty in juggling both his businesses and his passion to drive, Patrick said: “At first glance, racing and doing business might look like 2 separate fields of studies but for me, I treat them the same, at least spiritually. To excel, both racing and doing business requires firm dedication, extreme focus, and perseverance. And these traits are exactly what you need to thrive in the automotive industry.”
Patrick Tam receives Golden Entrepreneur Award in 2017.
Having recently closed their seed round, securing RM15,000,000 from a group of individual investors from Malaysia, China, and the United States. Patrick and his team at Maxx ‘n Go are committed to bringing more value to consumers in the region in 2018 through some major initiatives, such as the launch of co-branded service centers and car leasing projects.
Commenting on the successful round, Patrick expressed, “Just like on a racetrack, the world is moving fast and consumer’s demands is shifting fast. This is why I’m always seen on the move, challenging the norm, and leading the market. The same goes with Maxx ‘N Go. 2018 will be the year we charge ahead and this is just the beginning of it.”
For an entrepreneur living on the fastlane, this seems like an appropriate response to paint his aspirations for 2018.
Serial entrepreneur, Patrick Tam.
Serial entrepreneur Patrick Tam is also an award-winning racer.
