He adds that customers today expect convenience, transparency and exceptional aftersales support. “This dealership has been designed to exceptionally deliver on all three. Together with Meyers Motors, we are confident this investment will strengthen our relationship with existing Hyundai owners while introducing new customers to the brand.”
According to Ashley Davis-Taylor, Dealer Principal of Hyundai East London the dealership’s philosophy is anchored on long-term customer relationships. “Buying a vehicle is only the beginning of the journey.”
“Our focus is on delivering exceptional service throughout the ownership experience, supported by knowledgeable staff, skilled technicians and a commitment to exceeding customer expectations. We want every customer to leave knowing they have found a dealership they can trust for years to come,” Ashley adds.
The appointment of Meyers Motor Group as the independent operator of this dealership represents a strategic partnership that combines Hyundai's global reputation for innovation and quality with one of the Eastern Cape's most established automotive groups, the manufacturer states. With 95 years of motoring experience, the Group has earned the trust of generations of customers through its commitment to service excellence.
As an independent dealership, the Group plans to leverage its extensive and loyal customer base to introduce more motorists to the Hyundai brand while strengthening relationships with existing owners across the region. The investment is also expected to create local employment opportunities and technical skills transfer to local artisans.
