UMW Toyota Motor opens new body and paint centre in Kuching, Sarawak – 10 bays, full-sized paint oven

UMW Toyota Motor has announced that its new body and paint centre in Kuching, Sarawak, is now fully operational. Located at the Pending Industrial Area, the facility is operated by Boulevard Jaya and complements the Toyota sales and service centre located along Jalan Datuk Tawi Sli in Kuching.

The new body and paint centre was set up with an investment of approximately RM16 million, which includes the cost of purchasing about three aces of land. Within the built-up area of one acre, there are 10 bays as well as a full-sized paint oven to ensure a proper paint finish on vehicles that adheres to the standards set by Toyota.

Owners can also have their vehicles damaged in an accident repaired by trained personnel, using body alignment equipment approved by Toyota Motor Corporation. Assistance with insurance claims are also provided at the facility.

“As the authorised distributor of Toyota vehicles in Malaysia, we have a responsibility to ensure that when our customers require repairs to their vehicle after an accident, they can get the best services from trained personnel. This ensures that vehicle will be restored in accordance with Toyota’s high standards,” said Akio Takeyama, deputy chairman of UMW Toyota Motor.

      Better to reduce your car prices than keep on opening all these SC and paint centres. We know all the cost goes to us in the form of higher prices.

        Toyota should listen to me. Shift plant to EM and sell more Hilux there la. Their other rojak-cars cannot cheat WM people already…

  • These official service and repair centres need to:
    1. Reduce customer waiting time especially since we book in advance.
    2. Keep costs down to a reasonable level. Cut out the superfluous deco and hospitality staff. Cost too high, we are going to avoid. Too low, they cannot profit. Need to find that spot that’s sweet enough for both parties.
    3. Keep promises about quality and workmanship. Recently sent my car – Japanese make to its official repair centre. Had to wait long and workship was wanting. Not worth it. Really disappointed. Felt I could have sent it to a regular centre and gotten a better deal in half the time.

    most of the time…those paint shop ovens are not used. cheaper for them to send outside to a regular paintshop to do…and those paintshop does a better job than the service center themselves
