NOW HOW?


Federation of Automobile Workshop Owners’ Association

Workshops and tow truck operators go on strike


GEORGE TOWN: Tow truck operators in the state have gone on strike in protest over alleged monopoly of automaker franchise workshops.

Penang Motor Vehicles Workshop Owners Association said besides suspending tow truck operations, they would also be closing car repair workshops.

“On Nov 12, we conducted a meeting with all members concerning the difficulties of the maintenance industry.

“After the discussion, we unanimously agreed to close operation effective from Dec 2 until further notice,” the association said in a statement today.


It added however the maintenance and technical department of the workshops would continue as usual.

“All towing cards and vests will be collected by the workshops and handed over to the association for safekeeping, while tow trucks will remain at the same place. All workshop owners, call men and employees are not allowed to appear at accident scenes or carry out their towing services within this period,” the association said, adding that the towing card of those found to have violated these conditions would be forfeited.

A member of the association Chan Kok Hoe said the main point of contention was the fact that the automakers workshop franchise were monopolising all car repair business.

“The franchise tells the car owners if they conduct any changes to the car such as tinting or auto radio repairs outside the workshop franchise, their car warranty would be void.

“This move is against the Competition Act,” he said, when met at Jalan Perusahaan Jelutong 2 here today, where more than 30 tow trucks gathered and drove off to Juru in mainland Penang, where they will be parked together with two trucks from mainland Penang until further notice.

Chan urged Bank Negara, Transport Ministry and Malaysia Competition Commission (MyCC) to look into the matter and come up with a favourable solution.

“This issue has been going on for a long time and all three bodies are aware of it. We decided to finally speak up against this situation as it is not fair to us especially with carmakers planning to extend the warranty period from five years to nine,” he said.

Chan also pointed out that the customers were also affected as they were unable to get repairs done cheaper at workshops compared to the automakers franchise.

“At automakers franchise workshops, you can be charged RM2,000 for a minor accident involving the bumper, when you can have it done for RM200 at other workshops,” he said, adding that car owners should have the right to choose which workshops they want to go to.

Meanwhile, Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow’s political secretary Teh Lai Heng urged the association to postpone its decision to go on strike and resume negotiations with carmakers and insurance companies.

He also requested the Domestic Trade, Consumer Affairs Ministry to intervene and come up with a win-win solution.

“Suspension of the tow truck operation would only cause social disorder and inconvenience,” he added.

Allianz Malaysia, 21 others, fined for violating competition rule


Allianz Malaysia, 21 others, fined for violating competition rule
The Malaysia Competition Commission (MyCC) has decided to fine Allianz Malaysia Bhd and 21 other members of General Insurance Association of Malaysia (PIAM) a total of MYR213.45 million (US$48.1 million) for violating anti-competition laws.

The decision came from the MyCC’s investigation of a deal between the PIAM and the Federation of Automobile Workshop Owners’ Association of Malaysia (FAWOAM) regarding discounts of certain auto parts and hourly labour rates for auto repair shops under the PIAM Approved Repairers Scheme.

In a stock exchange filing with Bursa Malaysia on Friday, Allianz General Insurance Co. said that its share of the fine amounts to MYR27.48 million (US$6.2 million) and that the insurer is looking at legal remedies to contest the fine, noting that the MyCC’s decision is still not final.

Allianz maintains that it did not violate Section 4(2)(a) of the Competition Act of 2010 in its dealings with FAOWAM.

protest protest

establish right to repair like US

If your iPhone is broken, you send it to the official shop for warranty. Same thing with cars, there’s authorized workshop out there for each brand.

Ni mesti kes random workshop overcharging the insurer and not following the standards just because insurers are paying for it. Serve them right they are not panel of the insurers now. Still wanna cry wolves

You can only go to appointed/panel workshops. Which pretty much is against fair competition & is an act of cronyism actually lel. Though I wanna hear why these insurers only have a select panel. Maybe because they're more established/bigger workshops/larger capacity?

Panel workshop yes, but tinting not allowed? Never heard of it lo..

yes...singapore also like that

from what i heard

workshop needs to "bid" for lowest price
you can't choose which workshop you want to go
they will pick which workshop offers the cheapest

don't know how true is that

Couldn't these workshops just try to join one of the insurance company workshops? I would generally prefer to go to panel workshops since my claims are more likely to be approved.

you must understand
now is allianz do wrong


it is prohibited that insurance company asking workshop give discount

If Insurer wants to pay the client more by asking them to go to franchise, why not?

I don’t understand how the client could not be happier going to franchise workshop

must go the authorised workshop

kesian bodoh x tau baca

MyCC fined EVERY general insurance company but you quote Allianz only

you got something against them is it? they stole your gf burn your mother or something ah

So? Insurance pay so no problem lah.

I once asked whether I can change the tire rim to other brand BUT of the same size and still using the same tires. They told me it will void the warranty.

backfired

After the fined,no more insurance company asking discount from workshop.

Now workshop said allianz only asking discount AGAIN!!!!

Allianz Malaysia Berhad has taken a transparent and effective approach in selecting its automobile repair service partners.

The company was the first insurer to hold an open tender to invite car workshops under the PIAM Approved Repairers Scheme to join its panel of repairers. The tender provided an equal opportunity to all repairers and aims to uplift the performance and service of its panel. A total of 660 applications were received and the company has approved 170 repairers.

“The industry demands good governance and accountability. With this exercise, repairers will be compelled to professionalise. It also allows us to keep to our commitment of ensuring the standard of services provided to our customers,” says Zakri.

#AllianzMalaysia #Revamps #Repairers


Allianz Malaysia is the no 1 general insurer in Malaysia, it is only normal that they will have to take harder measures to curb fraudulent claims by shady workshops.

If not the insurer will be eaten alive by the massive claims by the unethical workshops. If you are sending your cars back to authorized panel workshops, you will be seeing faster repair time. Why would anyone send their cars to non panel anyway? You have something to hide?

I know proton allow it. It’s acceptable if yours is perhaps a hybrid car where the rims have other function..

Where are you get this allianz statement??

So now malaysia 7 states workshop kao tim allianz edi?

https://www.facebook.com/209462665759279/po...3644205482/?d=n

It’s very simply, you want to join their panel, you adhere to their standards.

The problem here is workshops have been squeezing insurers dry for years now, and when Allianz came up with a new standards for panel workshop, now they cry father cry mother because they cannot squeeze the insurer anymore.

"warranty voided if any wire is found cut or found non-oem parts or installed non-original electrical accessories" - proton escape clause

Why post last year's news?

Mesti over charged because you see people got insurance not they pay so makan jer

ya lor that's the part I wanna hear out Allianz's explanation. one sided story

Brb opening workshop.

Ketuk small dent RM10,000

Insurance must comply and pay me coz fair competition. They cannot audit or persoal my service.

Lel

Would rather go to automaker franchise workshop because they change the accident parts.
Outside workshops usually only knock repairs the accident parts.

last time those body repair shops joined in the authorised panel to support the car insurance industry but many were shady and fraudulent causing the insurance companies to make losses. Then those Toyota Honda SC started their body repair segment and that cut massively into their market share. So now even more stringent measures they cry mother cry father lo.

Issue here towtruck mostly own by panel workshop. They not gonna tow ur car to other in event of accident. from my experience. It took me 3 days to arrange another tow truck to pickup my car bring back to body repair sc (accident happen outside of KL). Claim bill is exorbitant but fully satisfied as they change with original parts.

*I had extra tow insurance. cost from bukit kayu hitam to glenmarie around 2K all covered. tow truck coming from penang. local tow truck dun want. unless take to their workshop.

Of course satisfied, my car they changed the whole panel and bumper for one small fender bender. Repair bill came out around 4k
If fixed outside probably about 700 only.

But you must understand that if manufacturer workshop charge back insurance companies that amount who's gonna pay at the end ? It's you.

No matter what the option to pick which workshop must be available.

I think TS never occur car accident and see the repair bill before, if u look at it u sure got shock of how they charge, some even charge the insurance company and did not replace the original parts for them.

they wanna form cartel

Still can use meh???

Who is they? Which automaker? U mean this happens in Penang? Its stupid...

I kena this once when I changed my windscreen. I insured the windscreen for 1.6k which is the exact amount SC will charge if I do it there. Since that time my insurance was expiring and I don’t have time to file a claim, I went to a panel workshop which could claim with the insurer directly, cashless. That stupid shop replace my windscreen but reusing the rubber seal yet still charge full 1.6k. If I do it in SC the 1.6k is including new rubber seal. Bloody dishonest workshop.

I support the move by insurer to put more control on panel workshop so that those dishonest workshop can go to hell.

Workshop is like hospital same see u got insurance covered, makan to the max

So?

Most workshop is scam, I remember my dad told me there’s one workshop charging RM1k for window repair if paid cash but will charge RM2k+ for insurance.

How he know?

This is true.

That’s why always go through franchisers.

That’s at the very least of using counterfeits. If they do and get caught, it will simply tarnish their own branding which they wouldn’t wanna bet on.

So called workshop have all those scammers. Mapren even had the original reverse sensor stolen and claim that it’s broken.

After rage at the workshop and insistent for the so called broken installed back only the workshop gave in. Even made police report about it.

Too many unscrupulous so called workshops there. For general repair or change motor oil can la. Def not letting safety having second thoughts.

Never really asked for details, but pretty sure this is common.

KL area btw

Both should be investigated for anti-competitive activities.

1. Boycott via a collective of an association acting like a cartel can be anti-competitive under the Act.

2. Automatic denial of manufacturer/ distributor warranty for repairs and LEGAL modifications by third party workshop such as sound systems, tinting etc is ANTI competitive under the Act. Of course if the repairs or mods were done incorrectly, the relevant part would not subject to manufacturer’s warranty.

This has been well established in EU Aus UK etc just google. Manufacturers are even compelled to share technical repair guides with third party workshops.
