Our fleet of Mazda variety vehicles did a convoy to ESKOM in Cato Ridge to do a display of our vehicles to Create Brand Awareness and provide essential informative details of our luxurious vehicles. The CMH MAZDA DURBAN Flags were hoisted up next to our vehicles as the wind blew through them catching the ESKOM workers attention to come up to the team and inquire.
Our fully accessorised BT-50 made heads turn with its unique body kit and aggressive look, sitting on those huge tires. When it comes to your protection, safety features like 6 airbags, EBA and DSC ensure that you always feel secure behind the wheel as SAFETY is the motto of ESKOM. They were also surprised by the stylish, spacious cabin that offers a high level of passenger comfort to make it feel like a car.
The all New Mazda CX-5 also made quite an impression as we found a group of people gathered inside and next to the vehicle. The CX-5 created with SKYACTIV TECHNOLOGY to make the ‘impossible possible’ to defy convention, with LED headlamps and Fog Lights it truly is a natural beauty.
The new Mazda 3 moved the crowd from the first look with its innovative technology and stunning looks that came all together for a thrilling drive. The dynamic lines of KODO-soul of motion design meet proudly at the front, where sleek headlamps enhance the sophisticated street presence.
Last but not least the all-new CX-3 had people gazing at it with its city-friendly size and got them even more excited when they heard of its natural agility that comes from the SKYACTIV TECHNOLOGY along with outstanding Fuel economy in petrol. The MZD Infotainment brings your Online world alive.
At ESKOM in Cato Ridge we truly were treated like Royalty. I wonder what created that impression? But’s that a story for another day…

CMH Mazda Durban participated at the AMASHOVA Durban Classic Race for the first time. The race took place on the 22nd of October 2017 from Cato Ridge and ended at the Moses Mabhida Stadium. It was divided into 3 different categories of different lengths to ride. OUR Durban Team confidentially entered the 2nd furthest race, the 65 km one. You can see the real confidence this Team holds since they were in fact new to the competition.
The Team participants trained endlessly with high hopes to not underperform and to finish as a whole, proving yet again how this Dealership works together to obtain results and work well as a Team.
For some they were a bit skeptical about the 65 km but surprised us all with the results. As the count down to the start approached, palms were sweaty, tightly gripped to the bikes horns and anxiety levels were high. But as the race began it all became second nature to them as they started paddling and being part of the pack.
As the race went on, many obstacles were experienced such as tyre punctures that needed attending to and on the more extreme side, legs that were distinctly unimpressed with paddling, requiring some therapy, but eventually our Team overcame all of this.
For some, the goal of reaching the finish line sometimes became blurry. Reaching the top of hills became a mission because they had run out of gears, but then determination and persistence kicked in as they visualized the Moses Mabhida finish line.
Some were disappointed with their finish time and some weren’t because they remembered that the main point of a bike race is not how fast you go but that you GO!
Well done Team CMH Mazda Durban for your determination and dedication! It sure did pay off! You’re not only good at delivering cars, as most of us know, but you also make time to socialize and perform excellent as the great Team you are!
Come meet our dedicated Team at CMH Mazda Durban, 109 Monty Naicker Street or give us a call on 031 001 0060.
Mazda – Driving Matters
“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. For unrivalled deal-structuring, impeccable service and professional and intellectual financial motor advice, speak to Mr Waldo Kriel @ CMH Mazda Umhlanga.
CMH Mazda Umhlanga, the right place for the right vehicle with the right service at the right price!

Maintaining a living can be very stressful; costs are rising, petrol doesn’t stop going up, interest rates as well, and as much as you try to cut down your expenses, you just don’t seem to make any progress or keep up with everything going on around you. As a valued client we would like you to know that we’re all about putting your finances first, which is why we’ve got a solution perfectly suited for your vehicle so that you have a peace of mind when it comes to your vehicle’s well being.
“At CMH Mazda Hatfield, we don’t only care for your car, but also for you – our customer.” A vehicle is a need in this age we live in so you need to have a vehicle that is well taken care of and doesn’t give you more headaches than a peace of mind. Therefore Mazda provides you with a 3-year unlimited kilometres warranty, service plan and roadside assistance for your vehicle. A warranty is specifically for your vehicle mechanical breakdown claims, whereas a service plan covers claims based on replacement of service parts such as oil, fuel filter, oil filter and air filter during your annual vehicle service.
“Having your car serviced at our dealer means getting professional service at competitive prices. For your car, it means fun to drive, reliability, safety and a favourable resale value.” It is essential to ensure that the vehicle is properly, regularly and punctually serviced according to the instructions and what is recommended by the vehicle manufacturer handbook.
It is very important to take note of the following when purchasing your vehicle (New or Pre-owned); so ask your sales executive these questions to avoid any inconveniences:
• Does the vehicle have a service book?
• When was it last serviced?
• If the vehicle was not serviced on time, what needs to happen next?
• What service intervals are expected from the warranty?
Please note the following isn’t normally covered in the manufacturer’s warranty:
• Internal and external trim, bodywork and paint due to normal wear and tear.
• All glass, tyres, wheels, wheel alignment, accessories, electrical wiring components
Ask your sales executive how you can get your vehicle covered for the above at a reasonable price with CMH Mazda Hatfield.

To celebrate the success of our new venture, we’ve decided to pamper our most loyal customers with the not-to-be-missed Best Specials Ever for this month ONLY on the MAZDA 3.

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.
Success is not hoped for but earned; to be successful you need the strength, the right attitude, self-discipline and the ability to prioritize your goals. One has to commit to their fullest potential by putting in the hard work and dedication into becoming the best they can become in what they want to achieve.
Working hard and committing to what you do is significant. And being recognized and appreciated for the effort you put in your work absolutely increases morale. We took a moment to sit and talk with our top sales executives for the month of August; Corinne de Winnaar for the New Vehicle Department and Edward Magane for the Pre-owned Vehicle Department and here is what they had to say to the questions asked.
Let’s get to know them a bit more:
How many years do you have in the sales industry?
Corinne: I have been in the “Motor Industry” for 5 years, but selling cars for 2 years now.
Edward: I have been in the sales industry for 7 years
What is your work philosophy?
Corinne: The harder you work and the more you put in, the better your results at the end.
Edward: Stay hungry
How do you open a new relationship with a prospective client and/or create a new opportunity?
Corinne: First impressions plays a BIG role, so I usually smile very big, greet them properly and then sometimes throw in a joke to make them laugh and feel a bit more comfortable.
Edward: By first trying to know the customer’s expectations.
Tell us about a recent sale you lost, what happened and what did you learn from it?
Corinne: I had a vehicle in stock that met the customer’s expectations and she was also happy with the instalment, but she then told me to stop everything, because she fell in love with another vehicle. What did I learn? Don’t let them leave the dealership.
Edward: I was constantly pushing the client to take the deal and he did not want to be rushed into make a decision so he stopped taking my calls or responding to my emails. I learnt that not every client is the same.
What have you done/are you doing to make yourself a better sales executive?
Corinne: I like to learn from my fellow sales colleagues, asking questions, paying attention to what and how they do things. Paying attention is key!
Edward: Try to learn new things at all times.
What is the biggest mistake you’ve made when coming to closing a deal?
Corinne: It was one of my first Diplomatic deals, so the moment was very big for me and then I put in the discount but forgot to “de-VAT” it. The clients accepted the deal and I sold the vehicle at a loss. Blond much (She laughs).
Edward: Rushing to close deals, it puts pressure on me and my clients as well so sometimes the deals end up not happening.
What makes you passionate about selling?
Corinne: I am a HUGE people`s person. I absolutely love people, working with them and building relationships. (It’s not what you know, it’s who you know) so for me to meet new and different people EVERYDAY is fun, challenging and it keeps things interesting.
Edward: Every sale is a new experience, you meet different clients and they want things to be done their own way. Although it is challenging, you get to learn and adapt.
How is your relationship with your customers?
Corinne: I try to keep a good relationship with my customers, especially afterwards. As you get to know your clients, you know with whom you can joke with and with whom you need to stay completely professional. I try to go out of my way to give them good service, even after the sale (so that they have an awesome experience and memory of “When I bought my car…”, and of course, want to come back when it’s time for a new vehicle again)
Edward: Differs from one customer to another, but I always make sure that my customers remember my name when they leave the dealership.
How is your relationship with your team?
Corinne: I have THE BEST team ever! We see ourselves as a family. We pray together in the mornings, we hardly ever fight, we don’t steal each other’s deals, we help with each other`s deliveries (should something come up) and we always try to help each other out whether it’s a favour at work or personal.
Edward: I feel we don’t interact a lot since we are still a new team, but we talk and pick on each other’s brains.
You’ve been titled salesperson of the month, how does that make you feel?
Corinne: It makes me feel good and motivated, naturally, and that my hard work paid off. I always try to stay humble, because I would not have been able to do it by myself and through my own doings – Glory to God alone (which is also our team`s motto) Being the best for one month is great, but staying there is the hard part and what I strive for.
Edward: It is encouraging; you aim higher and work hard to keep yourself at the top.
As the saying goes “Hard Work Forever Pays”; striving to do and be better at what you do every day should be a priority. As our dealer principal always says; the only person stopping you to reach your goals is yourself.

CMH Mazda Umhlanga is dedicated to providing the very optimum in service delivery and information. Creating brand awareness and exposure is vital in promoting the #TheImpossibleMadePossible ethos we so strongly believe Mazda can do.
Our fleet of affordable yet unbelievably luxurious vehicles caused quite a stir over the past week @ The Builder’s Warehouse Riverhorse Valley. The Mazda flags were hoisted high and the pure awesomeness of our vehicles could be felt in the air. Our incredible team were in attendance providing enthusiastic and curious shoppers with all the information regarding our display vehicles.
The ALL-NEW Mazda CX-5 in a shimmering Sonic Silver hands-down stole the show….once again. A true piece of automotive mastery, the ALL-NEW CX-5 is a culmination of beauty and brains. With Mazda’s KODO Design platform very evident in the CX-5 making it truly stand-out on the black top. Premium leather, quality build materials and an array of sophisticated electronics bumps the CX-5 up to class of its own #InspiredCraftsmanship
Another big hit was the mighty and majestic Mazda BT-50. A true South African favourite and now more butch and modern than ever before. The term “bakkie” should be left outside as the interior is nothing short of being totally opulent. Now with leather trimming, PDC and even an automatic variation, the Mazda BT range is fast becoming a family favourite.
The Mazda3 caused quite a hype when the public started learning about how technologically advanced this iconic model has become. Aesthetically very enticing and now fitted with the latest electronic instrumentation to optimise safety and comfort.
Shoppers @ The Builder’s Warehouse were enthralled by the diversity, professionalism and courtesy of CMH Mazda Umhlanga staff as at times there were hoards of people around the display sipping on cold refreshments, one would actually think it was a full on car show.

CMH Mazda Umhlanga hosted our annual Jamboree on the 1st & 2nd July 2017 and although it coincided with the auspicious horse racing activity around Durban on that weekend, our Jamboree got off to an awesome start straight out the block!
The weather was perfect, enthusiasm and excitement levels sky-rocketing and energetic staff members all banning together to get this incredible event off to a fantastic start.
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. Apart from the outrageous deals going on, there were delicious wors rolls freshly prepared for all to enjoy while they browsed through our inventory of quality vehicles.
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. With balloons everywhere, a sky-dancer waving through the Mt Edgecombe air, music echoing, the smell of wors on the braai and just good vibes further exemplified the CMH Mazda Umhlanga ethos,…”We are family, so welcome to the #MazdaFamily”.
At CMH Mazda Umhlanga we don’t just sell cars, we provide you with a lifestyle.
