Contact PTMPre-PUSPAKOM FAQs
Does the pre-check guarantee a pass?
No. PTM prepares the vehicle; the inspection authority determines the official result. Further requirements can depend on the vehicle and inspection type.
How long does it take and what does it cost?
Ask for the pre-check scope, quotation and expected timing for your lorry. Rectification and official inspection fees are separate unless the team confirms otherwise.
Where can I arrange a pre-check?
Contact Batu Caves HQ (018 919 8000) or Kota Damansara (019 266 3162). Inspection appointments are not accepted on Saturdays.
Can you help with other inspection types?
State whether the enquiry is routine, initial, special or another inspection. The team confirms the preparation and available support. Body or chassis changes may require technical approvals.
Are stickers, safety items or runner services included?
Not automatically. Ask about required markings, safety items and runner arrangements when requesting the quotation. Confirm availability, scope and charges before agreeing.
What does the pre-PUSPAKOM check cover?
Discuss smoke and emissions, braking, steering, underbody and chassis, lighting and safety equipment, plus vehicle identity and body markings. The centre confirms the checks appropriate to your lorry.
Which documents should I prepare?
Start with the vehicle registration record, latest relevant inspection records and appointment confirmation. Presenter identification, authorisation, operating permits or modification documents depend on the inspection type; confirm the applicable list before attending.
What happens if the pre-check finds a defect?
The team discusses the findings and any proposed rectification and quotation. Agree the work before proceeding, then confirm the next inspection arrangement. Workshop rectification does not determine the official result.
