ELEVEN workshops have started providing vehicle inspections service (VIS) for commercial vehicles as well as private vehicles that are seven years and older, effective yesterday.
According to Boustead Sdn Bhd Aftersales Manager Chan Chee Seng, three customers had their cars inspected at their workshop yesterday.
“Customers are happy because they are able to take on such services while enjoying the comfort of the Boustead lounge. We also cater to non-Nissan and Suzuki customers. However, customers need to make an appointment.
“It is a positive move by the government – through the Land Transport Department (JPD) and our management team is very supportive of the initiative.
“JPD officials briefed and trained our staff beforehand. They were also present yesterday to observe our inspection routine. We don’t compromise on the standards JPD has set, which includes brake test and light penetration before we issue the Certificate of Road (CoR) Worthiness to customers,” Chan explained.
