The national car maker has recently urged its dealers and service centre operators to upgrade their facilities in preparation for the new Proton models which will be introduced next year.

The trip exposed them to a Geely dealer in Shanghai and for many, it was their first trip to China where a car dealer actually opened up its doors for the Malaysians to learn and study their daily operation and the PROTON dealers were highly impressed with the success of Geely in its native country.

Geely ShowroomRyan Lai, director for LHM One Stop, a PROTON 4S outlet in Nilai said that he was pretty much awed with the level of customer service that the Geely outlet provided for Geely car owners.

Susan, Dato Shamshudin and RyanAt Geely AutoDealers were also invited to test drive the Geely Boyue which will be introduced in Malaysia soon.

 

“I was sceptical at first but from the moment I sat inside the Boyue, I knew this is the right vehicle for PROTON’s new image,” Ryan explained.

His view was also shared by Susan Leong from Hoi Keen Service in Kuantan. Hoi Keen runs a PROTON service center and also a body and paint shop for the brand.

 

“It has a luxurious interior and felt very premium for its segment,” said Susan.

The dealers also got the opportunity to visit Geely Research Institute and showcased the group’s current technology and future designs.

Shamshudin, Ryan and Susan have together announced openly that their company will be investing millions into expanding their PROTON outlets. “This trip has really opened up our eyes to what PROTON will achieve in the near future.”
