Perodua officially opened its flagship centre in Petaling Jaya today with a ceremony attended by Datuk Seri Mustapa Mohamed, Minister of International Trade and Industry. Dubbed Perodua Sentral, the impressive structure is a one-stop centre for P2’s customers offering a wide range of services and conveniences.
The flagship outlet took RM36 million to build and furnish (excluding the cost of the land), and is located on a built-up area of 15,700 square metres. Operations started on May 5 this year.
“Perodua Sentral is the personification of our transformation initiatives to become globally competitive. The building is equipped with facilities which are the best we have to offer so far,” said Perodua president and CEO Datuk Aminar Rashid Salleh.
“From purchasing a car to service reminders to insurance renewals, and even to keeping track of your Perodua reward points via our latest customer loyalty programme – UFirst – everything related to your Perodua experience will be cared for,” he added.
So, what makes this showroom and 38-bay service centre stand out? Step in the main entrance and you’ll see a play area for kids and a Gloria Jean’s cafe. There’s also an ATM machine and uniquely, a mini Road Transport Department (JPJ) counter on the first floor. The latter is open to the public.
Perodua Sentral also houses the company’s Pre-Owned Vehicle head office as well as its central region sales and service operations. It will be the model sales/service centre for the brand in Malaysia, a template for future facilities. Located next to BAT and opposite TOC, the address is Lot 11 & 12, Jalan 19/1, Seksyen 19, Petaling Jaya.
