Overview
Vibe Drive launched a first‑of‑its‑kind integrated automotive destination on the 200 Feet Radial Road in Kovilambakkam, Chennai. The facility spans 13,000 sq ft and brings together vehicle sales, servicing, detailing and customer hospitality under one roof.
Facility Details
The centre houses four specialist brands: Vibe Drive (vehicle sales and pre‑owned vehicle evaluation), HB Multibrand (advanced diagnostics, ECU programming, electrical troubleshooting and complex vehicle restoration), Slick Lab by Vibe Drive (premium detailing, ceramic coatings, paint protection films, performance upgrades and body repairs) and Snack & Rack (in‑house lounge offering refreshments, high‑speed Wi‑Fi and English pool tables for customers while their vehicles are serviced). The venue caters to all vehicle categories, including hatchbacks, family SUVs, commercial vehicles, luxury marques and high‑performance automobiles.
Founders and Vision
The venture was founded by automobile entrepreneurs Ashvath Jacinth and Naveen Antony. Ashvath Jacinth brings experience across automotive manufacturing, vehicle sales and entrepreneurship, having built Vibe Drive into a business focused on transparent buying, selling, sourcing and evaluation of pre‑owned vehicles across every segment. Naveen Antony, an electronics engineer, entered the automotive sector after restoring his own flood‑damaged car and subsequently established HB Multibrand, gaining a reputation for advanced diagnostics and complex vehicle restoration. Both founders overcame setbacks during the COVID‑19 pandemic and rebuilt their businesses before launching the integrated destination.
Inauguration
The facility was inaugurated on 27 July 2026 by J. C. D. Prabhakar, Speaker of the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly, highlighting governmental endorsement of the project.
