      Taking over another competing automotive brand may backfire,if the market is shrinking.In other words,the pie is getting smaller,and new entrants need to have a bite,to build the brand over a few years.
      It is not as simple as getting a gargantuan AP with a huge showroom in PJ like the failed NAZA dudes who is giving up KIA very soon,according to reports.
      It is atrocious how the NAZA dudes handled Chevy,peugeot and now KIA very soon.
      The dead late tycoon must be very upset,if he is alive today,seeing his auto empire disintegrate.

    And in the meantime, the existing service centers are completely on standstill. No one is picking up the phone, not the service center, not the careline. Everyone claims they don’t know what’s happening and awaiting further information. This is not how you take over. My car with a warranty claim for months is just sitting here waiting for the warranty to run out. Absolute disastrous customer service.

  • There is a very stupid issue and it can’t solve after a month. My car still waiting to log for insurance and is been a month in service centre. And as client, we do not get any update and don’t know what is happening. The answer I get from service center is they still waiting Baasb for further answer. This is really unreasonable!

    just Went to service my car to only find out that Bermas did not purchase the entire system where all records of services completed by Pegueot customers. This is horrendous because service centre themselves would not be able to tell customers the parts that have been changed unless customers have receipt kept. According to the service centre there is a fall out on the agreement
