DSS was established in March 1998 when the national economy crisis struck and our Founder, Dana Karya and few friends started importing used body parts specializing in Mercedes w123 from the USA. Our business was named Kar-M and lasted for 2 years.

​

Kar-M changed into Parts-M where we started to importing Jeep used parts, new aftermarket parts and also became an agent for Kingshock and KingSpring selling to various shops and customers until 2002.

 

In 2003 to 2004 we joined (unaffiliated) Fab Fours Jakarta, with Fab Fours still being active in Texas, USA until Parts-M was disbanded in 2005.

​

Parts-M was inactive in 2005 for 3 months before Dana Karya changed his main business to DSS

(Dana Suspension Specialist) a workshop or garage specializing in body frame and 4 wheel drive (4WD) suspension.

 

Since then DSS has focused its main business as a suspension specialist, particularly for adventure jeeps.

In 2011 we decided to expand our expertise to speed offroad jeeps or trucks after participating in various races such as Soda, Score, Speed Offroad and Rock Climbing competitions. In the same year we opened a machine modification division formed the team Lupromax Fuel Racing Team and Lupromax Oil that is sponsored by PT. Lupromax.

 

And since 2011 until now we stayed in the offroad racing world and actively participated in various races such as IXOR (Indonesian eXtreme Offroad Racing) and diesel speed offroad trucks race events.

​

And today we back to our roots on suspension and chassis specialist and rebrand to DSS Garage, a one stop garage for suspension and chassis with experienced team and supported with a proper machines and tools.
