Round One: Rewriting the rules of automotive service in Lebanon

In Lebanon, owning a car is not a luxury. It is part of daily survival. It carries people to work, family, school, business, and everything in between. But for years, car care has often come with the same frustration: unclear advice, uncertain pricing, scattered services, and the constant question every driver asks: can I trust this service? Round One was created to answer that question differently.

Founded in 2018, Round One entered the market with a clear mission: to remove the guesswork from automotive care and give drivers a service experience built on transparency, reliability, and professional guidance.

Instrumental in advancing the company’s vision of becoming Lebanon’s trusted automotive service partner is the company’s CEO, Wassim Abdul Khalek.

Guided by a strong focus on innovation, quality, and customer experience, he continues to lead Round One’s expansion while building lasting relationships with motorists across the country. “Our goal is to create lasting value through trust, quality, and innovation,” Abdul Khalek said.

What started as a service centre quickly evolved into a modern automotive network designed for today’s drivers, people who want their cars maintained properly, their time respected, and their safety taken seriously.

But Round One is more than a garage. It is a system.

From tyres, batteries, brakes, oils, filters, alignment, diagnostics, and suspension to mobile garage services, Round One brings essential car care under one trusted name. Every service is backed by trained teams, trusted products, clear communication, and a customer-first approach that makes vehicle maintenance easier to understand and easier to trust.

Today, Round One is expanding its footprint across Lebanon, with branches built to deliver the same standard of service, the same brand experience, and the same promise: to be the lifelong co-pilot for every driver.

And now, the journey is moving further.

CEO Abdul Khalek: “Through its franchise model, Round One is opening the door for partners who share its vision for professional, transparent, and future-focused automotive service.”

He added: “The goal is not simply to open more branches. The goal is to build a stronger service culture, one where every driver knows what their car needs, why it matters, and where to go when it counts.” Round One is not following the old garage model. It is building the next one.

 

The Liberum

The subtitle of The Liberum ("the voice of the people is the voice of God") reflects the concept that the collective opinions and will of the people carry divine importance. They embody truth and wisdom, particularly in a non-partisan arena that profiles itself as a marketplace of free ideas and thoughts.
