Hyundai Paarl has found a new home. Although the dealership, which is part of Motus, has been around for many years, the showroom and service departments were previously located at two different premises.
Now they are all under one roof at a new location, where the Nissan dealership was previously housed. “We are excited about our new Hyundai dealership, which is a modern facility and in an area which is developing at a fast pace,” says Kieran Correia, Dealer Principal.
“The new premises is a first-class facility with enough space for all our needs. We did not need to do structural changes but revamped the existing complex, redid the branding and set everything up according to our needs and preferences,” he tells Dealerfloor.
Kieran says the new location in a fast-developing area and the visibility of the new dealership play a role in growing their business. “Location is important as is the new facility itself. We have a reasonably large clientele in the region and intend to grow it substantially,” he tells us.
“Most of our electrical needs are provided by a large solar system that helps a lot in terms of power costs and power cuts. We circulate the grey water to help save the important resources as far as possible.”
Kieran says they service surrounding towns like Wellington and even up to Stellenbosch. “We have a mixture of customers, from the agricultural sector to individuals, businesses and industries in the urban areas of this part of the Western Cape.
“Our products reflect the diversity of our customer base in this area. A vehicle that remains very popular here is the Hyundai Grand i10,” Kieran says.
The Hyundai blood is in Kieran’s veins. He was appointed DP ten months ago and before that he was with another Hyundai branch for some time. “I do not micro-manage, and our team knows what is expected of them. I firmly believe happy staff make for happy customers.
“For us, taking care of customers and their needs remains a top priority, from the moment they make contact with us. Happy customers return and that is good for business,” Kieran concludes.
Electric vehicles (EVs) have introduced a whole new vocabulary into motoring. Instead of simply talking about litres of fuel, cylinders and kilometres per tank, motorists are now confronted with kW, kWh, AC, DC, WLTP, regenerative braking and a host of other terms.
Young South African motorists are increasingly opting for more affordable and practical vehicles as the cost of living puts pressure on household budgets, while still maintaining comprehensive insurance cover.
The row over BMW’s Spider-Man promotion is not really about superheroes. It is about trust, control and the creeping feeling that modern cars are becoming digital platforms first and private possessions second.
