UMW Toyota Motor has launched a new pre-delivery inspection facility in Sabah, which will shorten the new vehicle wait time for Toyota customers in East Malaysia.

The company’s Sabah Integrated Quality Hub (SIQH), located at the Kota Kinabalu Industrial Park, spans over 8.6 acres and is able to stock up to 1,000 vehicles at any one time. The new facility, which conducts delivery quality checks of all vehicles before it reaches the customers, began operations in November.

Activities carried out at the facility include pre-delivery inspection (PDI), pre-delivery service (PDS) and strict final quality check (FQC) to enable UMW Toyota to enhance vehicle delivery quality to meet customers’ expectations.

The SIQH facility is the company’s second in the country – the first Integrated Quality Hub in Bukit Raja, Klang, was set up in 2011 to ensure vehicles are delivered to customers in its best condition.

“Sabah consumers have been very supportive to us, as reflected by the increased sales of more than 10% in the state since 2011. With the establishment of the new facility, we will be able to assure delivery of quality vehicles for our customers in Sabah, at the shortest possible time,” said UMW Toyota president Datuk Ismet Suki.
