KUALA LUMPUR: Perodua has introduced a special service package to all Axia and Bezza owners to reduce the impact of rising prices while promoting vehicle maintenance and safety for the upcoming Aidilfitri celebration.

In a statement today, Perodua said this is in response to the newly launched Auto Rahmah package by the Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry (Miti) under the government's Payung Rahmah programme which aims to ease the burden of the people through various cost of living aspects.

"This special service package, which is called Perodua Auto Rahmah 2023 consists of a 30 per cent discount on the total invoice for parts and labour cost. To be entitled for this campaign, Axia and Bezza owners are required to call for an appointment at the nearest Perodua service centre," the statement said.

This campaign is available from April 12 to May 15, 2023.

Miti Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz said the ministry is pleased that Perodua has responded to the government's 2023 Auto Rahmah package by offering discounts for vehicle maintenance at its official service centres.

"Today, owning a vehicle has become a necessity for most people. As such, vehicle ownership costs such as loans, fuel expenses, tolls and maintenance also make up the main components of many Malaysians' household expenses.

"We hope the other car brands will also follow in the footsteps of Perodua to help contribute to the safety of car owners and their loved ones on the road, especially during the upcoming Aidilfitri festival season. It is the government's priority to find ways to lessen the impact of rising prices in every way that we can and Miti is leveraging on our role to achieve this objective," he said.

Perodua president and chief executive officer Datuk Seri Zainal Abidin Ahmad said Axia and Bezza are its most popular models.
