Mitsubishi Motors South Africa was presented with the Top Performer award in the After-sales – Customer Experience category at the brand’s recent annual global after-sales business excellence awards ceremony in Thailand.
The South African new-vehicle market showed its resilience yet again during April this year with an 11.9% increase compared to the same month last year. This is notwithstanding the number of public holidays that manifested in long weekends with school holidays in between.
