Proton car repair in Kulai
Proton repairs at Pungbrother start with a diagnostic inspection—RM 80 for a small car, RM 120 for a large one—to identify the fault. The repair cost and time depend on what the inspection finds. Most jobs are finished the same day.
What does a Proton diagnostic inspection involve?
The workshop reviews your symptoms, scans the engine computer where applicable, and performs a multi-point visual inspection of braking, suspension, cooling and electrical systems. You receive a written summary and a firm quote before any repair work begins.
What common faults do Protons bring in for repair?
Saga and Persona models typically need routine brake pad and suspension work as they age. X50 and X70 owners commonly address battery and charging-system faults, plus air-conditioning leaks. All models show routine wear in these areas across their lifespan.
Should I mention anything when I book?
Tell the workshop the model, year and the symptom—noise, warning light, performance change, or fluid leak—so the inspection slot is long enough. If you know when the last service was, include that. Bring your service record if you have it.
What happens after the inspection?
The workshop provides a written repair quote itemizing parts, labour and time. You approve it before work begins. Most repairs complete within one day, and you collect the car with a brief road-test summary confirming the fix.
Diagnostic inspection pricing and time
| Car size | Price | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Small car (Saga, Persona) | RM 80 | ~1 hour |
| Large car (X50, X70, S70) | RM 120 | ~1 hour |

Frequently asked questions
Can I drive a Proton from Kulai to Masai if the check engine light is on?
It depends on the symptom. If the car starts, idles and drives normally, it is usually safe for a steady run to the workshop. If performance is poor, the engine runs rough, or you smell fuel or burning, do not drive it—arrange transport or call ahead for advice on WhatsApp.
How long does a Proton brake inspection take?
A full brake inspection—pads, rotors, and visible hoses—takes about 30 minutes as part of the diagnostic. If brake work is needed, pad replacement on a Saga or Persona is RM 200 and takes roughly one hour. Rotor work requires a separate inspection quote.
What is the difference between a small and large Proton for repair pricing?
Saga and Persona are classed as small cars; X50, X70 and S70 as large cars. Large-car work typically costs more because parts are larger and labour time is longer. The diagnostic fee reflects this: RM 80 versus RM 120. Specific repairs are priced individually.
What should I do if my Proton air-conditioning has stopped working?
Book a diagnostic inspection and mention the symptom when you call. The workshop checks refrigerant pressure, compressor engagement and visible leaks. Air-conditioning service is RM 150–200 depending on car size. If the compressor is faulty, the inspection generates a separate repair quote.
