Ideal Motors Ltd. and its subsidiary Ideal First Choice Ltd.

The Ideal Motors main workshop located in Ratmalana, exclusively undertakes repairs and services for Mahindra vehicles and the 11 Ideal First Choice workshops located island-wide undertake repairs and services for multi-brand vehicles including Mahindra vehicles.
Ideal Group Founder and Chairman Nalin Welgama stated: “We are delighted to reward our customers with free personal accident insurance cover, a first time event in Sri Lanka’s automobile market. At Ideal Group, we are constantly providing innovative solutions to our loyal customers. We believe vehicle owners of any brand should be honoured with this reward, for choosing to service their vehicles with us. We have partnered with the highly reputed and trusted Allianz insurance Lanka Ltd. for this initiative.”
Labour services of more than Rs. 4,000 carried out at any of the Ideal Motors and Ideal First Choice Workshops are eligible to a free personal accident insurance cover valued to a maximum of Rs. 400,000. The insurance cover offers a range of benefits including accidental death, total and/or permanent disablement, accidental death due to an accident as a passenger in a car, rider on a bike, funeral benefits, medical expenses and daily hospital cash allowance.
