Volvo promises to provide the highest quality and safety standards of complete body repair and paint service

VCDR

Volvo Car Malaysia has introduced its first dedicated body repair and paint service facilities through the launch of the Volvo Certified Damage Repair Centre (VCDR). 
Now available at Federal Auto Cars, Glenmarie and Sime Darby Swedish Auto, Ara Damansara, customers will enjoy an end-to-end high quality body repair and paint service.

Focusing on providing quick and efficient body repair and paint services, VCM said that the VCDR is managed by a cost-effective resource management that ensures overall business agility. The overall repair quality is committed using advanced tools and equipment combined with strict adherence to the standard Volvo processes.

It is said that the VCDR standard integrates the use of sustainable technology for their body and paint repair services, such as a low-pressure ventilation system with automatic controls that reduces the emission of carbon dioxide, emission of microscopic particles, and energy consumption.

Additionally, the machinery utilises batteries when heating the electric system, and more than 80% of the air will be sucked in through a filtration system that reduces energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. The use of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) in paint is now replaced with a water-based paint, reducing employee’s exposure to hazardous chemicals.

Equipped with the latest technology and trained technicians, Federal Auto Cars Glenmarie, and Sime Darby Motors Centralised Body and Paint Centre are the first two Volvo service centres in Malaysia to be aligned with the VCDR standards. Measuring at 11,133 square feet, each of these facilities can handle up to a volume of 1,260 vehicles per year.

Jeffrey Gan, Managing Director of Retail and Distribution of Sime Darby Motors Malaysia commented: “We aim to continue delivering the best quality service and offerings to our customers. This includes ramping up the sustainability of our operations to minimise environmental impact, while maintaining service excellence."

"As such, we are pleased to adopt the VCDR standard for Volvo vehicles at our Sime Darby Motors Centralised Body and Paint facility, in line with our Environment, Social & Governance’s initiative to lower carbon transition, continuously invest in solutions and inspire meaningful change.” 

"Being an integral part of the Volvo network in Malaysia, we are committed towards delivering excellent service quality and safe vehicles to our Volvo customers through our investments and continuous improvement of every aspect of our operations."

"In today's environment, we place as much if not more emphasis on climate sustainability in our business strategies and decisions. We, therefore, wholeheartedly embrace the entire VCDR concept for its environmentally friendly equipment, as well as efficient workflow and processes,” said Wong Fay Lee, Chairman of Federal Auto Holdings Berhad."
