Rawang car detailing brand GVS Autospa opens its second branch

When Sashidaran Gunathevan opened GVS Autospa in Anggun City, Rawang in 2021, he was building something from scratch. Four years later, the demand for his car detailing and maintenance services has grown enough to justify a second location. GVS Autospa’s new branch at Bandar Country Homes opened this week. It is a story about what persistence and family support can build.

The second branch was officially launched by Selangor State Assemblyman Dr V Gunaraj George. In his address, the assemblyman spoke directly to the young entrepreneurs in the room. He urged more young Malaysians to venture into business. A single income stream, he said, is no longer enough to sustain a comfortable life.

“The times are tough nowadays and one income is not enough to sustain livelihood. We need to work harder and strive to generate more income streams to ensure a comfortable life,” he said. He singled out Sashidaran as an example of the entrepreneurial drive he wants to see more of from Malaysian youth.

From one workshop to two — the GVS story

GVS Autospa’s first outlet in Anggun City has been serving Rawang car owners since 2021. Today, the single location serves between 20 and 30 cars per day. That makes it one of the busiest car wash operations in Rawang. The business built its name on immaculate service and customers who keep coming back.

That loyal repeat customer base translated into consistent demand the original outlet could no longer fully absorb. The Bandar Country Homes branch fills that gap. It extends GVS Autospa’s reach into a different part of Rawang. Residents who previously had to travel to Anggun City now have a closer option.

At the launch, Sashidaran spoke about the people behind the growth. He acknowledged his staff and family members — but saved his most personal words for his father.

“My father has been around throughout my journey in this business. He had motivated me and pushed me when I falter. I owe my success to his presence,” he said.

What GVS Autospa offers

Both GVS Autospa locations offer a full range of car care. From basic washes to professional-grade paint correction and ceramic coating.

The Classic Wash covers foam soak, hand mitt wash, wheels and arches, rinse, microfibre dry, interior vacuum and dashboard wipe. Available for standard cars and SUV/MPV. The Wash and Wax adds a hand-applied wax finish for gloss and water beading. Built on top of the classic wash.

Interior Detailing covers seats, carpets and headliner shampooed and extracted. Vents, trim and leather conditioning are included where fitted. Engine Bay Cleaning involves degreasing, hand agitation around sensitive parts, then rinsing and dressing.

Machine Polishing cuts swirl marks, water spotting and light scratches from the clear coat. Ceramic Coating goes further — decontamination, correction and a ceramic seal. Rain sheets straight off and washing gets easier over time. Headlight Restoration is also available for yellowed or hazy lenses, sanded back, polished clear and sealed against UV damage.

A Rawang business with room to grow

With two locations open, GVS Autospa can serve far more Rawang car owners each day. The new branch also allows a more targeted service mix. Premium offerings — ceramic coating, paint correction and interior detailing — take on greater focus alongside the core wash services.

The opening of a second branch within four years of the first is a meaningful marker for any small business. For a car wash in Rawang, it reflects strong service quality and a growing customer base. Dr V Gunaraj George’s presence at the launch signals the community support that local entrepreneurs benefit from when they build something worth backing.

One workshop in 2021. Two locations in 2025. Sashidaran’s story is the kind of quiet success Rawang runs on.
