This brings EON’s outlets down to 42 sales branches and 33 service branches, which is about the right size for it’s current operations according to their management.

Die la. So happy.
good job..bravo
if u want them to die faster you would be hoping they open more outlets. and display more savvys.
Good job, close more!
Proton Edar also can do the same!
Heard that EON at my place will be close next month also… all the workers received letters already… but only applicable to Proton sales branch… Mitsubishi sales branch not affected…
Get out of our lives! Podah!
I'm curious, why all the hatred towards EON ?
its a good move financially…so many companies are doing that now…close down unprofitable branches n SCs….i tink from personaly experience…EON SC dont really have a reputable person wer he knows everything abt wat thy doing…not like PE..thers always someone who knows abt the problem n always knowledgable…EON sc i tink have no training at all..not from wat i see anyway…i heard Nissan tan chong oso are having very bad sales…i tink its the norm nowadays..no more record sales and profits
eon people sucks. it's a good thing that the management closes down ineffective branches.
Not ineffective biz but market shrinkage for P1 car! So understood lah. At the same time, it is no surprising if P2 announce more branches and SC due to increase of market share as a result of MyVi selling like goreng pisang panas.
I stay in Bukit Mertajam……
But nevermind, closing EON is non of my business. Will be replace by Proton Edar or some other service centre?
Just my opinion, after warranty period, go to Ah Beng workshop best known to you. They normally replace component only if not function anymore and don't simply charge. Unlike EON/PE SC, they have "standard menu" to change anything and everything so as the final bill is maximum. Ask about power window failure, normal answer given by them is "LIKE THAT ONE MAH………."
more reason not to buy proton.. sight! I got my self a trouble now. First the quality need to improve or else people own proton going to be in long queue just to complete normal fixes….. normal fixes, nah fixing their quality issue after sales!!! Just imagine what proton buyers going to face next. There is always more car to fix and closing shops means less car get fixed. More pressure to buyer.
i think paul, the hatred towards eon is because the majority of people only associate EON with proton. they forget EON is suffering in part due to very poor sales of cars they were bringing in for sale, ie. mitsubishi, VW, Audi..etc.
Hmmm…well it is inevitable that a closure of sales and service closes down due to poor sales of Proton cars by EON. But given EON's large network of sales centres, I wonder why EON didn't convert them to EON Mart Sales centres selling Mitsubishi cars.
bravo!! well done proton… when they going bankcrupt?
do have data about gen 2 crash test. I'm interesred to get the car…..but…..is it safe enough?
