UMW Toyota had allocated RM170 million for capital expenditure to improve its facilities in sales, service, logistics and manufacturing. All these upgrading and expansion are to cater for the increased Toyota population and further enhance customer satisfaction. The company set a new record when it serviced more than one million units of Toyota vehicles last year, compared to 900,000 units from previous year. For the new service centre, the company had invested about RM24 million to purchase the land and equip the centre with the latest facilities and capacity to service up to 145 cars per day”
