Puspakom Saturday Operations June 13, 20, 27
Entity Definition: Puspakom Saturday Operations
Puspakom (Pusat Pemeriksaan Komputer) is Malaysia's national vehicle inspection centre, operating under the Ministry of Transport. It provides mandatory periodic inspections for commercial and private vehicles, as well as pre‑purchase, accident, and modification checks. The extension of operations to Saturdays on 13, 20, and 27 June (2025) at 27 branches nationwide solves the problem of limited weekday availability, allowing working Malaysians to schedule inspections without taking leave. Appointments can be made via the MyPuspakom mobile app or official website.

How to book a Saturday inspection slot at Puspakom?
Booking is done exclusively online through the MyPuspakom mobile app (available on iOS and Android) or the official Puspakom website. Users must select the branch, date (13, 20, or 27 June), and time slot. Payment is made in RM at the time of booking. All Saturday inspection slots must be reserved in advance; walk‑ins are accepted only if capacity allows.
What types of inspections are available on Saturdays?
All standard inspection services are available on Saturdays, including periodic inspection (for road tax renewal), pre‑purchase inspection, accident inspection, and modification inspection. Heavy‑vehicle inspections may be limited at certain branches. Private car periodic inspections and pre‑purchase checks are the most commonly booked services during Saturday operations.
Who Is This For in Malaysia?
This Saturday extension is primarily for working professionals in urban areas (e.g., Kuala Lumpur, Petaling Jaya, Penang) who own cars and cannot take time off during weekdays. It also benefits used‑car dealers and fleet owners who need inspections outside normal business hours. In tropical climates, inspections are conducted in covered bays; vehicles should be clean and dry. Malaysians whose road tax renewal falls due in June 2025 are encouraged to book Saturday slots to avoid last‑minute weekday congestion.
How It Compares for Malaysian Users
Before this extension, Puspakom was closed on weekends at most branches. The limited Saturday operation (only three dates) is a trial; future expansion depends on public demand. Unlike private inspection centres (e.g., authorised workshops), Puspakom offers government‑regulated fees and standardised procedures. For urban Malaysians, the Saturday option reduces inspection wait times from an average of 1–2 hours on weekdays to 30–45 minutes during off‑peak Saturday slots.
Common Questions
Can I walk in on Saturdays or do I need an appointment?
An online appointment via MyPuspakom is strongly recommended. Walk‑ins are accepted only if slots are available, but most branches fill up quickly on Saturday.
Are all types of inspections available on Saturdays?
Most standard inspections (periodic, pre‑purchase, accident, modification) are offered. Heavy‑vehicle inspections may be limited; check the specific branch’s service list when booking.
What documents do I need to bring for a Saturday inspection?
You need the original vehicle registration card (geran), a valid road tax disc (if renewing), your MyKad or passport, and payment for the inspection fee (RM 100 for a private car).
