Proton car repair in Johor Bahru
Pungbrother repairs all Proton models—Saga, Persona, X50, X70, S70—at the Masai workshop. A diagnostic inspection costs RM 80 to RM 120 and takes about an hour; repair costs depend on what the inspection finds.
What Proton models do you repair?
We service Saga, Persona, X50, X70, and S70. These cars commonly come in for brake and suspension wear, battery faults, charging-system problems, and air-conditioning or cooling leaks. General repair work covers all those concerns.
What does a diagnostic inspection cost for a Proton?
RM 80 for a small Proton (Saga, Persona, Axia class) or RM 120 for a larger one (X50, X70, S70). The inspection identifies what needs repair, then we quote the specific work for your approval before starting.
Is it worth driving from Johor Bahru for a repair?
Confirm the route and travel time from your starting point before departure. The workshop is at Cahaya Kota Puteri, Masai. If you are unsure whether a repair is urgent, send the symptom on WhatsApp; we can advise whether same-day booking or a longer slot makes sense.
How long does repair work take once the fault is found?
Routine jobs like oil changes, brake pads, or battery work take 30 minutes to an hour. Suspension or air-conditioning work is 1–1.5 hours. Engine or electrical faults vary by severity. Most repairs are finished the same day once parts are confirmed in stock.
Common Proton faults and typical repair time
| Fault | Time |
|---|---|
| Brake pad wear or noise | ~1 hour |
| Battery flat or slow start | ~30 minutes |
| Air-conditioning not cold | ~1.5 hours |
| Suspension clunk or vibration | Quote after inspection |
| Engine warning light | ~1 hour diagnostic |
Proton specifics
Saga and Persona owners commonly report squealing or grinding brakes from routine pad wear; X50 and X70 owners often bring suspension clunks over bumps. Battery and charging faults affect all Proton models equally. Air-conditioning leaks and weak cooling are typical of warmer climates and heavy driving.

Frequently asked questions
Should I book ahead if I am driving from Johor Bahru?
Yes. WhatsApp the model and symptom before you leave, so the workshop can allocate time. Same-day appointments may be tight if you arrive without notice. A quick message means we are ready when you pull in, and you avoid a wasted trip if the fault is complex.
Will my Proton repair be finished the same day?
Most repairs are completed the same day once parts are confirmed in stock. Brake pads, oil changes, battery work, and routine suspension jobs typically finish within the morning or afternoon. Engine or timing-belt work may take longer. The inspection tells you the exact timeline before work starts.
Do I need to service my Proton at a Proton dealer?
No. Independent workshops like Pungbrother repair all Proton models using the same parts and methods as dealers. The main difference is cost and convenience—you do not need a dealer appointment or warranty paperwork if you are past the factory cover.
What should I mention when I book a Proton repair?
Give the model, the year if you know it, and the exact symptom—not just 'something is wrong'. Say whether warning lights are on, when the noise started, or whether it happens every time or intermittently. That speeds up the inspection and stops you driving back for clarification.
