Around your car
How One Man Turned a Workshop into a Legacy

By Aileen Anthony:
When I arrived at German Motors Sdn Bhd, my car looked conspicuously out of place—an ordinary silhouette parked among a lineup of polished, high-performance machines. I hesitated momentarily, expecting someone to tap on my windshield and ask me to move. No one did, so I stepped out and went to the front door, unsure what I'd find on the other side.
For most of us, workshops are transactional spaces—functional, impersonal, a necessary stop in the life of a car. But from the moment I walked in, the smile that greeted me was unexpectedly warm. It was the kind of welcome that quiets scepticism. The team at the front desk looked puzzled—I wasn’t there to service a car but to conduct an interview. Soon enough, I found myself sitting across from the man behind it all—Fritz Imbacher, the Founder and Chairman of German Motors Sdn Bhd.
