Penang group says they are protesting against car manufacturers who insist that even the most minor repairs be done only at their authorised workshops. FMTNews Penang CarWorkshop TowTruck

Penang’s 200-odd tow truck drivers and owners of workshops protesting at a field in Juru this morning. Some 50 trucks have been left parked at the field in a vow not to drive from today until the government intervenes.

The protestors say the car manufacturers’ practice would put them out of business, by voiding the warranties on cars repaired at third-party shops. He said there had been silence from government agencies over their complaints, which had been made over the past 10 years. “This is not happening just in Penang, also in other parts of Malaysia,” he told reporters at a press conference in Juru together with his counterpart Teo Nging Poh, from Sibu, Sarawak.

Tow truck drivers have handed over some 200 towing licenses, while about 100 tow trucks from workshops registered with the association have parked in an empty lot in Juru, in protest. People who could not afford the full cost of repairs would opt to void their warranty so that repairs can be made outside, he said.
