Honda Malaysia has maintained consistent sales growth for the past 5 years, an average of 30% increase from 2014 to 2018. More Honda cars on the road translates to higher Body and Paint (BP) service intakes. As of October 2019, Honda Malaysia recorded over 36,000 BP service intakes, a 40% increase from the BP service intakes in the same period last year. With great sales come great responsibility for after sales. And Honda Malaysia has opened six new BP Centres this year, bringing the total of 2

We’ve all been there, squeezing through a tighter-than-usual spot in a car park and ending up scratching the paint on your car. But before you send your car to be fixed by a professional, did you know that you can attempt to fix it yourself? Depending on the severity of the damage, you may be able to remedy that right at home, without the need to go to a specialist. To remedy your paint problem, first you need to find out how deep the scratches are. Typically, a car’s exterior has four layers –

Between Proton and Perodua, it’s easy to see which one produces the rakyat's car. Both local carmakers also have a sort of friendly rivalry. While Proton did a decent rival against the Perodua Myvi with the Iriz, its sales were pretty lacklustre compared to the mighty King. At least the Iriz actually sell decently, which is more being said for its predecessors, the Proton Tiara and the Proton Savvy.

A knight in shining armor is a man who has never had his metal truly tested. Likewise, a pristine looking car is a car that hasn’t been driven much. While the former may be an inspirational phrase, the latter is a sign of a good used car. When shopping for a used car, it is normal to see dings, scratches, or the occasional putty. Small damages are good for bargaining, but a used car with major damage is much better avoided. Whether or not to go on with the purchase is entirely up to you. This en

As much as fellow enthusiasts are against this trend, it's easy to see the appeal of an SUV; taller ride height for a better view out, greater sense of security, and go-anywhere ground clearance. Bearing that in mind, it's little wonder the Perodua Axia gets jazzed up with crossover elements for the Style variant. Despite its looks, it does not gain any additio
