Johor Bumiputera Automotive and Tyre Association chairman Azreen Men said customers would still have the option of purchasing parts of lower quality at a cheaper price.
Azreen said the association planned to work with a tyre supplier from Indonesia to be able to offer customers more choice. “So this is one of our mitigation plans for the local market besides looking for other cheaper, quality options outside the country,” he said. Azreen said further down the road, the increasing prices would also affect other aspects of their operations including manpower at the workshops as workers would be demanding a higher salary.
