Octane 'services' the community with Mashreq Bank and Virgin Megastores

Additionally, anyone who spends 300Dhs with their Virgin VIP Mashreqbank at Virgin Stores or at Octane will receive Octane vouchers for car detailing and cleaning worth 150 dhs.

Octane opened the doors of its new centre on 15th August starting a cool revolution in premium car servicing. Funky and unconventional, it fuses a chill-out lounge experience with expert technical advice and economical car service schemes. Octane members can kick back on comfy sofas, listen to contemporary music, access the Internet or simply have a cocktail while their cars are attended to by experts. Catering for the social interests of its customers, Octane offers great customer service as well as top notch car servicing to its community of select people who share common lifestyle choices.

Run by a team of 'high-octane' young business execs who are motor enthusiasts at the core, Octane is the city's only independent specialist in Porsche, Mercedes, BMW, Audi, VW and Peugeot. In addition to the above, Octane members will have an opportunity to participate in private events ranging from local gatherings, lifestyle events, to full-blown beach parties and networking dinners.

Rami El Malak, Co-Founder of Octane, added:

: 'Richard Branson's Virgin is a unique global brand that was built by a savvy marketer who understood the importance of offering multi-faceted experiences to clients. We believe that Virgin and Octane customers share a common lifestyle vision which we will build on to offer some exciting networking opportunities. We are looking at an integrated lifestyle approach for people whose expectation of service and environment applies to every area of their life. Car servicing is no exception!'

There are currently plans to take Octane to other countries and cities across the region.
