HOLIDAY TIPS TO ENSURE A SAFE FESTIVE SEASON ROAD TRIP

By

As we approach the festive season many of us will be heading out onto the road and leaving our homes for vacation destinations. But it’s also this is a time of tragedy as many are injured or lose their lives in road accidents. Therefore, make sure your car is up to the task of getting you there safely and without breaking down.

Festive season

• Take your vehicle to your nearest dealership for a check-over, which is mainly called a Pre-Holiday inspection.

• Inspect your windows for any chips or cracks and have them fixed before the trip, check that your window wipers are in good working condition or replace them if necessary.

• Make sure that your tyres have an adequate tread of at least 1mm.

• Check that your spare wheel is in good condition and that you have all the necessary tools to change a wheel.

• Ensure you’re in the correct lane and your speed limit is appropriate to the regulatory sign that informs you of the legally allowed speed.

• When changing lanes or making turns, always check your blind spots for other motorists.

• To avoid fatigue, make sure that you get enough sleep the night before, to keep your mind fresh along the way.

• If you are driving long distances, try to drive with a person in the car and if you feel tired or you are about to nod off, open windows immediately and stop as soon as it’s safe to do so and stretch a bit.

CMH Isuzu East Rand would like to wish you all a safe and happy festive season. Let’s all be wise and save each other’s lives.

CMH ISUZU EAST RAND: OVERALL PERFORMANCE ACHIEVERS AWARDS

By

CMH Isuzu East Rand had their second overall performance achievers awards on 17 June 2021. All the employees gathered for the announcement of the overall performance achievers in various departments. This initiative is to encourage employees and show hard work and dedication does not go unnoticed.

Employee recognition in the workplace must be a vital part of a company’s culture. In today’s work environment, companies with more satisfied and engaged employees know when to compromise and when to stand firm. These companies have excellent interpersonal skills and a larger professional network.

It’s always the little things you do that make a big difference in the workplace, every time you acknowledge an employee for their efforts, it raises the bar for others to achieve. Therefore, we as a dealership felt the need to show our gratitude as a token of appreciation, though the decision wasn’t an easy one as only a few had to be nominated.

These employees amongst others work tirelessly well under pressure and can calmly analyse and solve problems as the Motor Industry requires hard work and dedication, therefore with focus and teamwork, it makes it very pleasurable for all of them.

CMH ISUZU EAST RAND: HOME OF SOUTH AFRICA’S MOST LOVED BRAND

By

Ever wondered why Isuzu is SA’s Top Brand? Well, this Bakkie is a true living testimony.

The Owner of this Isuzu KB300 single cab, Mr Hunter, bought this bakkie brand new in 2005 when he started his business. Believe it or not, 16 years later he is still driving it.

The speedometer stopped working a year ago at 728 166km, which means that it could be just over 900 000km by now, he was heartbroken that he eventually had to trade it in after so many years because of the clutch.

Speedometer

This Bakkie may have dents and scratches here and there but that did not prevent it from working twice as hard.

Isuzu Bakkies are known to be the kind of bakkies that will never let you down, no matter how tough the job. This was one of the reasons why Mr Hunter never parted ways with his workhorse.

The cost of this vehicle was R179 000 when he bought it in 2005 and we can now put the statement in the pictures as a prime example of a very well-loved vehicle that became a best friend.

Visit CMH Isuzu East Rand if you are in the market for a bakkie that can be used as a workhorse or a weekend warrior, without breaking a sweat and still provide maximum durability, reliability, and capability.

Isuzu Mobility Logo

The importance of having a service plan or maintenance plan for your vehicle goes without saying but if it does need to be said then here is what the brand ambassadors of CMH Isuzu Umhlanga have to say on the matter:

Donna McCulloch

“Helps you to plan your budget and a maintenance plan is security against unexpected costs”- Donna McCulloch

Adrian Van Vuuren

“I would recommend the maintenance of vehicles running high mileages as it gives you peace of mind to know while you’re travelling, you’re secured”- Adrian Van Vuuren

Themba Maphumulo

“Ensures more uptime of your vehicle and less pressure on the customer’s shoulders. Offers mechanical breakdown security against unforeseen and unexpected repairs”- Themba Maphumulo

Mabutho Mbatha

“One of the hidden benefits of having a maintenance plan is that it adds more value to the vehicle & will command a higher trade-in value should a customer wants to trade-in. It ensures the customers are looked after; customers can take comfort in knowing that they can take the car to the nearest dealership should the vehicle need repairing mechanically”- Mabutho Mbatha

Now that our team has raved about the importance of having these plans, let us tell you why it is best to have your vehicle backed by Isuzu Mobility!

Isuzu Mobility is a revolutionary product offered as a finance option on all deals by our in-house Finance & Insurance extraordinaire, Margie Lourens. Your service plan can either be extended by Isuzu Mobility or upgraded to a maintenance plan… but what exactly is the difference between the two? Let us tell you!

CMH Isuzu Umhlanga’s Off-Roading for Dummies Guide!

By

Dreaming of those off-roading adventures with your brand-new Isuzu 4X4 but not quite the expert yet? Fear not! CMH Isuzu Umhlanga brings you our “Off-Roading for Dummies” guide! We want you to make the most of your new bakkie. And with this simple guide of the do’s and don’ts for any adventure, you will soon be driving with confidence and ease. Like many great adventurers, one must plan properly! Have your route mapped out, emergency supplies packed and have enough rest to ensure you remain alert and ready to tackle any challenge you may encounter. Supplies like first aid, snacks and fuel could be lifesaving! Now that we have made sure we are stocked up; it is time to embark on our mighty trip… But is your bakkie ready? Here are a few things to check on your bakkie before you embark on this journey:

Tyre Tread

To ensure your vehicle has a good grip on the ground, it is important to have the correct tyre tread, a deep tyre tread with spaces between the lugs allows for your tyres to grip onto the ground while also not letting mud get stuck between the grooves of the tread. All terrain tyres are a great option for adventures in any setting, be it mud, snow or your regular city roads.

Tyre Pressure

Having the correct tyre pressure is certainly vital to your travel, knowing the correct tyre pressure for the terrain you are travelling on is important. For instance, a softer terrain like mud or sand requires a lower tyre pressure, which increases the amount of traction your vehicle has, allowing you to safely navigate your journey.

Brakes

We think this one speaks for itself! Great! Now that you and your vehicle are prepped and ready, let us talk about technique! While we are not saying you must be a 4X4 expert, but you do need to know how to finesse your bakkie through some rough roads, and what better way to learn how than to take an off-roading course like the ones offered at the Isuzu Driving Academy! But for now, here is some advice we can offer to enhance your skills:
  • Manage your speed, exploring must be savored, and keeping a slow speed in muddy or soft roads allows your vehicle to maintain its grip and allow you to pass through loose rocks or logs smoothly.
  • Drive straight down ruts and steep hills to avoid having your vehicle slide or roll over, if you feel your vehicle is sliding, try to turn the vehicle around and go down the side you are sliding down. Stop! If you are close to an edge, switch your vehicle off, make sure your seat belts are on and call for help.
  • Survey the road ahead and always try to make sure you know what is in your path before you encounter it, this will allow you to prepare how you will follow through the obstacle. When it comes to crossing ditches, logs or boulders, cross at an angle so that one tyre goes over at a time and the other three can assist with traction and force needed to get over these obstacles.
Off-Roading We think we have given you enough basics to set you off on your next big adventure. We know you will have the best time with your more than capable Isuzu, built to last and built for to be enjoyed! If you are still not feeling confident to take on the open roads of South Africa, contact the experts at CMH Isuzu Umhlanga on 031 582 6350 or www.umhlangaisuzu.co.za and we’d be more than happy to advise you on your next trip!
