Proton has officially cut the ribbon to their new 3S centre in Kota Kinabalu.

The new centre is run by Shirba Auto World Sdn Bhd and is the third Proton outlet to open in the city.

Shirba Auto 3S centres spans a total of 2,259 square metres and has a capacity to fit 12 service bays, 6 service hoists, a comfortable customer lounge and even offers free WiFi.

Proton’s efforts to encourage upgrading of all their facilities and to attract more dealerships has been a success so far.

The brand now has 104 3S and 4S centres nationwide, making it the brand with the widest network of outlets to offer both sales and services under one roof.

Proton’s expanding network of service centre will come in handy as the brand has returned to the top of the sales chart.

In Sabah in particular, Proton saw an increase of 39 % in terms of sales compared to the same time last year and the Proton Saga remains the city's favourite.
