OUR JOURNEY

The journey of Go Auto was not without its challenges, and its early days were marked by uncertainty, setbacks, and determination. Founded in 2013 by a group of automotive engineers, none other than our co-founders, the company set out to disrupt the automotive industry with its ambitious vision of becoming one of the homegrown automotive powerhouses. From its humble beginnings in a small office in Glenmarie, Shah Alam, to its meteoric rise among the market leaders, the story of Go Auto is a testament to the power of entrepreneurship, perseverance, and innovation.
