OMODA announces RAC roadside assistance deal
OMODA has become the first Chinese car manufacturer to secure a roadside assistance package with the RAC.
The cover is free throughout OMODA’s seven-year manufacturer’s warranty period, as long as servicing is carried out at an OMODA and JAECOO service centre within the manufacturer’s recommended intervals.
The move, which follows an insurance partnership with Thatcham Research for insurance, is part of OMODA’s strategy to secure a greater market presence in the UK. It now has 75 dealer sites in its UK and plans to expand that to 100 sites by the end of the year.
Victor Zhang, executive vice president of OMODA UK said: “This partnership with the RAC is the latest pillar in our wider aftersales proposition. As a new entrant to the UK, we know we must earn the trust of the UK consumer and the RAC’s reputation will help give customers peace-of-mind.”
John Ellis, RAC head of OEM roadside, said:
“We’re proud to partner with OMODA as it enters the UK market and give confidence to its new customers that they’ll be in safe hands in the unlikely event of a breakdown. Whether in one of the brand’s new petrol or electric models, drivers will receive the same high standard of service for which the RAC is renowned.”
