KUALA LUMPUR — Private vehicle owners will soon be able to pay for next-day Puspakom inspection appointments under a new premium booking service that the company says is designed to cater to urgent cases without reducing the availability of regular slots.

The GiCheck Early Access Reservation (G.E.A.R) service, which launches on July 19, carries an introductory fee of RM150 per vehicle and will initially be available at Puspakom’s Batu Caves, Glenmarie and Wangsa Maju inspection centres. 

Customers will be able to book inspections for the following working day through the GiCheck online platform.

According to Puspakom, the service is intended for private vehicle owners with time-sensitive inspection needs, including those completing ownership transfers or meeting financing requirements.

Customers using G.E.A.R will receive a priority appointment confirmation through the GiCheck platform.

The company said the initiative responds to growing demand for greater appointment flexibility, particularly during month-end periods, festive seasons and other peak transaction periods when inspection slots are typically harder to secure.

Puspakom said only a small portion of each participating branch’s daily inspection capacity would be reserved for G.E.A.R customers, while the majority of appointments would continue to be available through the normal booking system.
