Puspakom to offer free private vehicle inspection for Chinese New Year

In conjunction with the Chinese New Year, the Computerised Vehicle Inspection Centre (Puspakom) will offer free inspection services nationwide for private vehicles.

The free inspection services are from Jan 16 to 27.

Puspakom chief executive officer, Mohammed Shukor Ismail said the inspection could be done at all its centres nationwide, except for Shah Alam, Taman Bukit Maluri, Mak Mandin and Kota Bharu branches.

"The inspection will cover a comprehensive 25-level check including brake, side slip test, speedometer test, emission test and lamps.

"Following the report issued by Puspakom, the owners can find out the road worthiness of their vehicles and take the necessary action...this can also reduce the possibility of breakdown and accident during the festive season," he said in a statement here on Friday.

Mohammed Shukor also said vehicle owners could visit Puspakom branches from 8am to 5pm daily (according to branch operating hours) without having to wait or make prior appointment.

For further information, customers can call Puspakom toll free line at 1-800-88-6927 or surf its website at www.puspakom.com.my.

Meanwhile, Mohammed Shukor said Puspakom was now organising a 'Snap & Win' contest where customers could stand a chance to win prizes.

"The customers only need to send pictures during the inspection via 'private message' on Puspakom's Facebook page.

"The 'Super Grand Prize' winner will be determined based on the highest number of 'Likes' he or she receives," he said. -- BERNAMA
