Harima founder Liew Foo Lin said it was important to keep customers happy when they visit showrooms to buy a nw car.

“Once they have purchased it, the onus is on us to ensure they send their car back to us for scheduled servicing.

“Harima however felt we could not achieve the required level of customer satisfaction if we continued to operate as a small showroom without the necessary facilities, hence, the decision to operate as a 4S dealer,” said Liew.
