Driving past the Volkswagen 4S centre in Selayang Kuala Lumpur early Thursday, workers were seen dismantling the Volkswagen signage and installing a new Proton sign in its place.
This full-fledged Volkswagen dealership which also served as the second Volkswagen Technical Service Centre in Malaysia opened its doors officially on Dec 3, 2015.
Situated in Taman Perindustrian Selayang, Batu 8 1/2, Jalan Ipoh, Batu Caves along the main road heading towards Kuala Lumpur, this is now going to be a full-fledged Proton 4S as there are already new Proton cars in the showroom and upstairs storage.
There are also signboards advertising its opening in May.
If you are reading this and have bought a new Volkswagen from Goh Brothers Selayang in the past four years, do not worry as your vehicle warranty is still valid at all other existing Volkswagen dealers nationwide.
This Selayang showroom was officiated by Armin Keller, Managing Director of Volkswagen Group Malaysia at the time and Goh Kian Sin, Chairman of Goh Brothers.
Their very experienced after-sales manger, Chong Fui Dick together with 29 staff took care of this impressive RM25 million facility.
The signboards hanging outside the showroom also says they are looking for staff and it’s surprising why they did not keep their previous well-trained staff to run this new Proton showroom.
This impressive Volkswagen centre was operated by Goh Brothers and has a floor area of 55,000 square feet over five levels.
The RM3 million service centre was dedicated over three floors with an impressive 20 work-bays. During the launch, there was mention of a possible expansion to the remaining two floors with an additional 18 work bays.
The outlet also had a 3,000 square foot, four-storey parts storage facility with some 4,000 items readily available at anytime. The parts were regularly replenished from the centralised parts centre in Shah Alam, Selangor as well as Singapore.
Goh Brothers spent a sizeable RM1.5 million on the Body & Paint workshop which at the time was the only authorised centre in KL North.
It had two spray booths, two accident repair preparation bays, alignment bench, and a mechanical measuring system to ensure precision in collision repairs. All equipment has been Volkswagen-approved.
Goh Brothers Motor Sdn Bhd is an enterprise in Malaysia, with its main office in Bukit Mertajam. It operates in the Motor Vehicle and Motor Vehicle Parts and Supplies Merchant Wholesalers industry.
The company was established on June 26, 2006. It is still a Volkswagen dealer in other states.
