Free 15-point checks for Perodua owners on highways

It is always recommended before you embark on a long journey, that your car should be sent for a proper service and inspection to ensure its road worthiness. As always, most of us will dish out the excuse of having not enough time to do so.

Well, for Perodua owners, you now have the opportunity of having your cars checked while you travel, provided you’re heading north or east from the Klang Valley, of course. From 26 to 29 August 2011 (9:00am to 6:00pm), Perodua will be stationing inspection teams at the Petronas fuel stations at the Tapah (Northbound) R&R along the North-South Highway, and at the Bentong (Eastbound) R&R along the East Coast Expressway.

“This is the second consecutive year Perodua is participating in the “Petronas Coffee Break” campaign for the Hari Raya Aidil Fitri,” Perodua Managing Director Datuk Aminar Rashid Salleh said.

“Perodua vehicle owners will be advised to proceed to our nearest service outlets by the mechanics if their vehicles are required to undergo repairs or get the necessary parts replaced. They will also enjoy a 15% discount on parts at the Perodua outlets,” he added.

The 15-point inspection includes an engine check, transmission check, coolant system (includes coolant level as well as fan and temperature), brake system check (includes brake fluid and brake pad wear), power steering system check, clutch system check, tyre check, suspension system check, electrical system check (includes battery, lights and wiper checks) and engine diagnosis.

“This 15-point check at the designated rest areas is in addition to our first-of-its-kind Tweckbot, a Twitter-based free safety check in Malaysia launched in July this year. For the Tweckbot service, anyone with a Twitter account can send a request to a nearby Perodua mobile team for a similar 15-point safety check for the Raya holidays,” Aminar said.

“This pilot project received an overwhelming response and we are now considering extending the Tweckbot to other regions during the main festivals in Malaysia,” he concluded.
