Express Service Extends Greater Convenience To PROTON Customers
Underlining its commitment towards enhancing customer service and satisfaction, PROTON is now offering owners who send their vehicles in for servicing, free labour charges should a regular maintenance service at its authorized service centres exceed 60 minutes.
Under a newly-introduced 60 Minutes Express Service programme, customers will enjoy a much shorter servicing time and in addition, benefit from a free 18-point quality and safety check at Proton Edar Sdn Bhd services centres. And if the service time exceeds 60 minutes, they will not be charged any labour cost.
The express service will initially be available at 21 service centres nationwide from today, and is in the process of being extended to cover all Proton Edar service centres. Customers need to only look out for the 60 Minutes Express Service logo at the respective service centres to identify the ones offering the service.
“A frequent complaint we receive from customers is that it takes too long to service their Proton car. More often this is attributed to the number of vehicles that are being attended to at the service centre at any one particular time. In order to address this, we now have dedicated service advisors to attend customers, dedicated technician to work on the vehicles, and dedicated service bays to get the job done,” said Proton Edar Sdn. Bhd Chief Executive Officer Encik Mohamad Shukor Ibrahim.
“One might still argue that 60 minutes is a long waiting time, but in the interest of our customer’s safety, PROTON has included a free and thorough 18-point check that is intended to identify other areas of concern with the vehicle that the customer may not be aware of and may require immediate attention. It’s much more than just changing the lubricants, oil and air filters but a detailed service check-up. As we continue to improve our services across all areas, we will be working aggressively to reduce the servicing time even further. And while customers wait for their car to be serviced, they can also enjoy our warm hospitality and take advantage of our Wifi facility,” he added.
Encik Mohamad Shukor said the programme is also aimed at enhancing productivity in terms of service operations, and in the long term, will attract an even larger population of Proton car owners to Proton Edar’s authorized service centres. The introduction of the 60 Minutes Express Service programme also complements the company’s wide range of other services, which offers customers Proton Genuine Parts, skilled manpower and warranty protection.
“This integrated approach to enhancing the ownership experience of a Proton car will also address the threat of imitation spare parts and inferior components in the market which not only cause severe harm to the PROTON brand, but also jeopardizes the lives of Proton car owners,” said Encik Mohamad Shukor.
The 60 Minutes Express Service programme is only available via appointment from Mondays to Fridays from 8.00am to 5.15pm, and is applicable for only basic maintenance which includes lubricant change.
For more information, customers can call Proton i.care at 1800-88-0888.

ARE WE SEEING THE MARUTI RIII SEVEN SEATER MPV?
A Team-Bhpian has managed to scoop images of a seven seater MPV from Maruti Suzuki which could be the upcoming RIII MPV, that was first showcased at the 2010 Indian Auto Expo, where Maruti confirmed plans of the MPV Concept being produced at a later date. From the spy shots, we can’t make out much about the full shape of the car as the shots have managed to capture the interiors and the rear of the MPV. But then again, a couple of crucial details can be seen from the spy shots.
First of all, the Maruti Suzuki logo emblazoned on the hatch door prominently means only one thing. That, this baby is sue for production very soon. Secondly, the ZDI badging seems to indicate a diesel heart for the 7 seater MPV, which in all probability would be a variant of the fiat Multijet 1.3 Liter Diesel Engine, that Maruti builds and sells in many of it’s cars with tremendous success. With Maruti entering the MPV space, with a diesel engined car, expect this 7 Seater MPV to be a super hot seller right from the moment it gets launched.

Also, the ZDI badging indicates a top end model that could come with both airbags as well as ABS, possibly making this seven seater MPV a hot favorite amongst family MPV buyers as the cabbie crowd usually doesn’t prefer these safety options in favor of lower priced variants. From the interiors, it looks like the seven seater MPV has nice looking interiors heavily inspired from the Maruti Swift.A deeply recessed dashboard is follows the dashboard design of the newer Marutis in town.
While no other details have been forthcoming about this 7 seater MPV, there’s a fat chance that what we’re seeing here could be the production version of RIII Concept. If it indeed is, then the likes of the Toyota Innova and the Mahindra Xylo will have something to worry about. Expect this MPV to see a launch in the upcoming 2012 Indian Auto Expo although Maruti could spring a surprise as the spy shots indicate a production ready version ready to hit showroom shelves.-indiancarsbikes.in
