PROTON WILL CONDUCT FREE SAFETY INSPECTION AT SELECTED PETRONAS STATIONS THIS HARI RAYA SEASON FOR PROTON OWNERS

Proton is continuing its FREE 20-Point Safety Inspection for its customers during the Hari Raya Puasa (Idil Fitri) holiday season this year. The free safety inspection will be available from 2 to 4 July 2016, from 9 am to 7 pm at selected PETRONAS stations. This value added service is held in collaboration with PETRONAS and the PETRONAS Coffee Break Campaign.

In line with the PETRONAS Coffee Break campaign to more PETRONAS stations, PROTON teams will be stationed at 10 different stations in Selangor, Kedah, Penang, Melaka, Johor, Pahang and Kelantan. Up from 5 PETRONAS stations in 2015.

The FREE (note the word 'FREE' here PROTON owners) 20-point safety inspection include checks on the brake system, suspension, tyres, battery, wiper blades, belts, lighting and also fluid levels such as engine oil, brake fluid, coolant and wiper washer. In the spirit of festivities, Proton owners will also be given a goodie bag each with a pack of kuih and mineral water as a token of appreciation for the support.

Customers can drop by at the mobile centres, located at PETRONAS stations, detailed below:

Central Area
-          PETRONAS Station NKVE Subang, Selangor
-          PETRONAS Station Penchala Link, Selangor (towards Damansara)
North Area
-          PETRONAS Station Taman Nilam Sari, Sungai Petani, Kedah

This campaign is part of the on-going nationwide safety campaign where Proton owners can bring their cars to any PROTON authorized service centres for the free safety inspection. A car in good condition also ensures the safety of its occupants and others using the road. No breakdowns ensures no slowing down of traffic and a fully operational car has working brakes, working wipers etc ensures that simple safety features that we take for granted are working properly. 

You may never know that a simple non-functioning brake light may cause people to rear end you. Or the fact that you have bad wiper blades on your car will make you lose visibility in a thunder storm and cause you to miss a turn. So any safety inspection may be a good thing.
