The smell of steaming popcorn and freshly spun cotton candy, the sound of giggles from the jumping castle and the sun shining upon our glorious dealership. This was the perfect setting for a perfect day as CMH Mazda Umhlanga hosted Submission Kings 01, a grapple and submission tournament.

In effort to raise funds for our National MMA team to zip off to the IMMAF World Champs this November in Bahrain, CMH Mazda Umhlanga opened our doors to over 80 competitors. MMA is often considered the world’s fastest growing sport and 550 athletes from 60 nations will compete for the coveted title at the championship. Our South African superstars will make their way to the middle eastern island and have their shot at gold!

CMH Mazda Umhlanga was glad to play our part in promoting this thrilling sport, the mats were rolled out on our Pre-Owned Cars showroom floor, the stage was set, and we were ready to rumble with raffles and spot prizes for the spectators! A range of athletes from kids to adults each had their chance to compete in a set of round robin matches. The matches were nothing short of intense with the athletes exhibiting incredible skills!

We’d love to thank Justin Ferrier, William Oberholzer and all at Submission Kings for giving us the chance to host this amazing event and to our customers and the spectators for the unanimous support!

So, you’re in the process of buying a new car. Naturally, this shiny new vehicle comes with a manufacturer’s warranty. But, does the purchase price also include a service or maintenance plan? These are basic questions you’d no doubt be sure to enquire about before signing on the sometimes-dreaded dotted line. Make sure you have a deeper understanding of the differences between the various plans and contracts long before something goes bang. What Is a Car Warranty? A car warranty is, typically, a standard feature on new cars sold in South Africa. It provides cover against manufacturing defects that cause your vehicle to fail. If the automaker agrees that the problem is indeed due to defects in components or workmanship, then the problem will be resolved at no cost to you. What Is An Extended Motor Warranty? Many manufacturers also offer the option of an extended warranty. The same logic applies here. Make sure you know exactly what is and isn’t part of the deal. A motor warranty is designed to help car owners when their car unexpectedly breaks down and needs urgent and costly repairs. Most insurance companies also conveniently offer 24/7 roadside assistance so you are never left stranded. Be warned, automotive warranties in South Africa are easily voided. Most commonly through the fitment of (unapproved) aftermarket parts. Consider an extended motor warranty if;  Car is a non-commercial passenger car  Warranty has expired  Car is less than 10 years old  Distance travelled is less than 200 000 km (depending on your provider)  Car is not used for commercial purposes or racing What Is a Service Plan? Many new vehicles sold in South Africa come standard with service plans. Although, a fair number of the most basic entry-level options do not. They are, however, often available at an additional cost. A service plan covers all of the costs associated with the vehicle’s scheduled services, as per the owner’s manual, at an approved dealership. This includes parts, consumables, and labour, as well as the likes of oil, various filters, and spark plugs. It’s important to note that the replacement of wear-and-tear items (also known as “friction components”) – such as brake pads, clutches, tyres, and wiper blades – are not covered by a service plan.  

“Dreams don’t work unless you do”. Realising a dream, finding a passion and then moving Heaven and Earth to make that dream a reality was the sentiment our record-setter Finance & Insurance Manager, Mr Waldo Kriel had when he humbly started his career. Full-time father and husband, Waldo started in the motor industry with a burning desire to succeed as a vehicle sales executive. His love for everything mechanical quickly turned his job into something that was sure to blossom into something amazing further on in his career. His greatest gratification upon selling a vehicle was seeing his customer’s grateful and happy smiles when taking delivery. This sincere emotion ignited his interest in getting involved in the financing sector. He quickly realised he wanted to play a pivotal role in vehicle finance and enrolled himself into a reputable finance institution in 2011 to study towards becoming an F&I. After years of studying and gaining invaluable experience, Waldo joined the distinguished CMH Group in 2016 as a fully-fledged F&I Manager. His accurate and incredible analytical abilities have earned him a very impressive reputation within the CMH Group and the national motor industry. His ability to remain within guidelines yet help the customer in every way imaginable has also made him a very accomplished individual. This health-conscious petrol-head speaks only two languages, namely, fast cars and number-crunching.

With the holidays fast approaching, families will load up their vehicles and venture out to spend time with friends and loved ones. Packing up all the clothes, costumes, umbrella’s, sporting equipment, not to mention the presents, requires taking a little time and preparation to ensure a smooth and successful trip — whether it be a few hours away, or a multi-day drive.

Here are a few tips to follow to ensure safe travels.

Keep the important stuff easily accessible

Don’t bury the important stuff. Keep all the necessities and emergency items within reach and easily accessible. This includes the emergency car care kit, a cell phone and charger, your wallet (with ID and license cards), and any medications. Sunglasses are also items needed during a long drive, so make sure those are handy too. These should be stored in the glove box, centre console, or under the seats so they are quickly available.

Luggage

Avoid hard-sided suitcases if space is going to be extra tight. Soft-sided duffle bags work much better, as they can squish and mould them to fit into all the nooks and crannies. A few additional tips when it comes to packing the luggage:

 Overnight Bag: For multi-day road trips, pack a smaller bag with the just the essentials for the overnight pit stop. Then you only have to grab this one bag when you call it quits and break for the day. Make it the last item packed, so it’s on top and ready to go.  Small, Loose Items: Don’t forget to secure those coats, purses, or small bags that get packed last and thrown on top. A sudden stop can easily send them flying throughout the car.  Visibility: DO NOT pack to the ceiling. Obstructing the rear view for the driver is extremely dangerous. Make sure there is a clear line of sight through the rear windshield after everything is loaded.

Road Trip Essentials

For a smooth trip, don’t forget these road trip essentials:

 Wipes and paper towels: To clean up dirty hands, spills, or other inevitable messes.  Snacks and drinks: Prevents unnecessary stops, keeps all the passengers happy, and when you bring your own, you have more options than what you can find in a gas station.  Activities: Have each passenger bring a small bag kept near their seat with books, toys, ipad or tablet, games and music.  Trash bag: Empty wrappers, used napkins, or spill clean ups, the trash accumulates quickly. Have a place to put the dirty stuff.

Lastly, always give your vehicle a safety check, which includes checking the fluids and tyres, before departing. Our service team @ CMH Mazda Umhlanga can also provide all the necessary inspections to ensure your vehicle is ready for those really long trips. Then once packed, check the weather and GPS options to find the best route, and give yourself plenty of time. It’s always safest to avoid rushing on the roads during the busy travel season. To book your vehicle for a service or check-up, call us on 031 502 5565 or visit www.mazdaumhlanga.co.za.

  When Mazda revealed sneak peeks of the ALL-NEW Mazda CX-5 last year, it caused an immense enthusiastic rush to learn more about the upcoming vehicle. A whole new design, a refreshing breath of modernism, SKYACTIV Technology and the latest electronics to guarantee a true sense of luxury. During the course of May Mazda staff from all across South Africa where exclusively invited to the launch and training session of the ALL-NEW Mazda CX-5 at the Gerotek Testing Facility in Gauteng. Our professional and eager sales team from CMH Mazda Umhlanga were offered the opportunity to drive the previous model Mazda CX-5 and the ALL-NEW model so they could feel all the changes between the two vehicles from a consumer’s point of view. From the people that live, eat and breath Mazda, here are the collective sentiments from the CMH Mazda Umhlanga sales team about the majestic ALL-NEW Mazda CX-5! The previous model was a truly magnificent vehicle to drive and interact with. With that said, after our experience with the new CX-5 we were completely blown away, even questioning how is it possible for such an improvement to be made on what we perceived to be already near perfect. Well we surely are experiencing ‘’The Impossible Made Possible’’ ethos. The changes in the exterior styling are bold and modern. Mazda’s KODO design language is definitely moving in the right direction and one does not need to look too hard to see how truly beautiful these vehicles have become. Front, back and sides, this vehicle’s styling is extremely difficult to fault and seems to tug the heart strings of loyal fans and critics alike. The Mazda CX-5 interior has been re-designed with the “Jinba-Ittai” philosophy (this relates to an old Japanese philosophy relating to the Horse and rider in unison). Once perched behind the steering wheel you get the feeling this vehicle was designed specifically for you, one size fits all. The G vectoring system has to be experienced to appreciate it. Not only is it a pleasure to drive but being the human centred vehicle it is with rear passengers enjoying added comfort features like rear USB charge facility and rear air conditioning to name a few.   The ALL-NEW Mazda CX-5 is now in our showrooms in fabulous new colours and a whole new attitude. Book yourself a test drive and experience true opulence and performance in the ALL-NEW Mazda CX-5 @ CMH Mazda Umhlanga. Call us on 031 502 5565 or visit www.cmhmazda.co.za for more info.

As anticipated, the public and fellow loyal Mazda customers showed up in hoards to take advantage of the totally insane specials we had to offer on that weekend.

While the parents crunched some numbers with our finance manager, the kiddies enjoyed a beautiful Saturday and Sunday on the jumping castle…so much in fact it inspired some older folk to give the jumping castle a try. Nifty hampers were also given to the first people that arrived. An incredible ambience was complimented by some cool background music that got some of the kiddies dancing and shaking all about. A weekend that was planned and executed perfectly could be measured by the mere feeling in the air around the dealership.
