CMH Suzuki Ballito’s Heartfelt Blanket Donation: A Tribute to Nelson Mandela’s Legacy

CMH Suzuki Ballito Team handing over donations at the dealership

At CMH Suzuki Ballito, we recently had the profound honor of celebrating Nelson Mandela’s legacy through a meaningful act of kindness. Madiba, a beacon of compassion and courage, inspires us to give back and make a difference in our community. In his spirit, we joined hands with the North Coast Courier Orphan Fund to bring comfort and joy to those who need it most.

Team Distributing blankets At Shayamoya Township

Our dedicated CMH Suzuki Ballito team embarked on a day filled with purpose and warmth as we gathered and distributed blankets to those in need. In Groutville, the sight of children’s faces lighting up with happiness as they received their blankets was a powerful reminder of how simple acts of kindness can create waves of joy. Each smile and grateful hug spoke volumes about the difference we can make when we come together.

CMH Suzuki Team at Siyakhula Creche in Shakashead

Our journey also took us to Siyakhula Creche in Shakashead, where the children’s eyes sparkled with excitement as they received their blankets. The joy and appreciation from the little ones were truly heartwarming, reinforcing our commitment to spreading kindness.

CMH Suzuki Team At Nkobongo Resource Centre

We then continued our outreach to the Nkobongo Resource Centre, where our visit was met with heartfelt gratitude. The centre’s staff and those they support welcomed us warmly, and it was deeply moving to see how the blankets brought comfort and relief.

Suzuki Balltio Team At Vulamehlo Hospice

Finally, we spent time at the Vulamehlo Hospice in Melville, where Elizabeth Khumalo and her dedicated team embraced us with open arms. The hospice, a sanctuary of care and compassion, received the blankets with profound appreciation. It was touching to witness the residents’ gratitude and comfort, knowing our efforts made a tangible difference in their lives.

This experience underscored the essence of Mandela’s message: that together, we can create a better world. At CMH Suzuki Ballito, we are committed to honoring his memory by spreading kindness and positivity wherever we go. We invite you to share your own acts of goodwill and join us in keeping Madiba’s dream alive. Together, let’s continue to make a positive impact and embrace the spirit of compassion and community.

Vehicle Warranty, Maintenance and Service Plans

By

The Importance of Understanding the Different Services

It’s important To Understand The Different Services – So you have bought that car that you have had your eye on for a while. You are happy with the monthly instalments and your insurance has been approved. But are you aware of the manufacturer Warranty, Maintenance Plan and Service Plan?

Most cars are sold with a standard maintenance or service plan. The price of these plans is usually included in the purchase price of the vehicle. You will benefit from the above plans when your vehicle is being serviced and maintained.

What is the difference between a maintenance plan, a service plan and a warranty plan?

Maintenance Plan

A maintenance plan is basically an upgrade on a service plan. It comes with more benefits than a service plan which include wear-and-tear on the vehicle such as the gearbox, clutch, suspension, brake pads, discs, wiper blades, shock absorbers, globes and fuses, wheel bearings, replacement gas for the air-conditioning system etc. The maintenance plan simply covers the cost of your regular service (including labour) as well as the cost of repairs to parts caused by wear and tear.

Service Plan

A service plan covers all the costs involved in having your car serviced as per the stipulations of the manufacturer. This will generally include the labour and replacement cost of air, pollen, oil filters, cam belt, brake fluid, oil and gearbox oil as well as spark plugs. These services will have to be carried out by an authorised service centre or dealer network to guarantee that the terms of the service plan are met.

Warranty

New vehicles carry some sort of warranty but depending on the brand they can differ. However, warranties are all restricted in terms of time and mileage. Your car’s warranty is mainly a promise by the manufacturer that the faults in manufacturing or factory defects will be repaired, or replaced, within a specific period of time. Items that are covered by the warranty include: engine, gearbox, electric components, fuel systems, audio systems and sensors. It is important to note that a warranty does not cover all items. The items not covered are tyres and brake pads, and any damage resulting from negligence will not be covered. Damages caused by wreck-less driving or indecent use could void a warranty. Make sure you familiarise yourself with exactly what is covered under the warranty and for how long.

Come into CMH Suzuki Hillcrest and let us assist you in finding the best plan for your vehicle.

How To Maintain Your Vehicle’s Air-Con with CMH Suzuki Hillcrest

CMH Suzuki Hillcrest is here to help you with your Suzuki’s Air-con Maintenance. Today’s vehicles practically come standard with air-conditioning, and on a hot summer day, it is one of life’s great pleasures to feel a welcome breeze of ice-cold air blowing through the vents.

Suzuki Hillcrest
Air-con controls

How an Air-Con works

An air-conditioner operates in a closed system with a refrigerant as the working fluid – this means that the incoming hot air never actually touches the refrigerant but is cooled indirectly by an evaporator/radiator in the airstream.

The engine’s auxiliary belt powers the compressor and compresses the refrigerant gas that now heats up above atmospheric temperatures. The hot, compressed refrigerant then passes through the condenser to filter the excess heat, and the gas condenses and passes through the fluid container. The liquid refrigerant then evaporates through the expansion valve, cooling the gas dramatically and passing through the evaporator in the climate-control system’s airstream, cooling the incoming air. The refrigerant continues back to the compressor to restart the whole process.

Air-con care
CMH Suzuki Hillcrest centre dash vents

What could go wrong

Your vehicle’s air-con should provide ice-cold relief within five minutes. It is best to evaluate the air blowing from the vents using the back of your hand. If the air is not cold by then, immediately switch off the air-con and get the system inspected.

A lot can go wrong with the air-con system, from gas leaks to failure of bearings and seals and blockages in the pipes or sensor failures. You can take some comfort with the fact that the last component to fail is likely to be the expensive compressor itself. A lack of lubrication is the main reason an air-con compressor fails when the gas leaks out, so does the oil, and, thus, lubrication qualities are lost, leading to failure.

Vehicle air-con care

Run your vehicle’s aircon for at least 30 minutes weekly to prevent expensive breakdowns. This action lubricates the system and prevents the bearings on the compressor from corroding at touching surfaces.

To avoid air-con odours, change the pollen filter regularly. Also, service the air-con once a year, now that the summer temperatures are setting in and it’s getting hotter.

Suzuki dash and air-con vents

Book your Suzuki for an air-con treatment and service at CMH Suzuki Hillcrest service department to prevent compressor replacement.

Proper air-con operation

The cabin air is usually hotter than the ambient temperature when a vehicle is stationary in the sun. First, open all windows and switch the fan speed to the maximum to expel the hot air. Then close the windows and allow the air-con to do its job. When the cabin air is cooler than the ambient temperature, the process can speed up by employing the recirculation function to recycle the cabin until the cockpit is at the desired temperature.

3 Tips on Defensive Driving – CMH Suzuki Pinetown

By

With the festive season around the corner, it is advisable to be aware of your surroundings and how to protect yourself and your passengers from aggressive drivers.

3 Tips on Defensive Driving
CMH Suzuki Pinetown – 3 tips on defensive driving

Aggressive drivers and their reckless driving habits are responsible for almost one-third of all traffic accidents. Unfortunately, many reckless drivers are weaving in and out of traffic without consideration for other drivers on the road. So with that in mind, here are 3 tips on defensive driving to help lower the risk when you get behind the wheel.

Be aware of your surroundings

Increased awareness of your surroundings will enable you to predict what other drivers might do on the road. In the worst-case scenario, it will be easier to avoid potential risk as it would catch you off guard.

CMH Suzuki Pinetown
Be aware of your surroundings

Maintain a safe distance

Chances are, you or someone you know have come across ‘Brake Checking’ – this is when a vehicle ahead of you slams its brakes and thus forces a reaction out of you. CMH Suzuki Pinetown suggests you follow the 3-second rule, picking out a marking and counting 3 seconds. If it is still visible, then there’s probably enough following distance. But also take into consideration road conditions.

CMH Suzuki Pinetown
Maintain a safe following distance

Avoid distractions

Driving always requires your 100% attention, stay focused and ascertain you are well-rested before getting into the driver’s seat. CMH Suzuki Pinetown recommends at least 7 hours of sleep before you start a journey, with 15-minute breaks every 2 hours, especially during night driving.

How to Check and Maintain Your Vehicle’s Fluid Levels

How To Check Your Vehicle’s Fluid Levels: A Quick Guide

engine-coolant

Keeping your car healthy doesn’t require a mechanic every time! Did you know that checking your vehicle’s fluid levels regularly can help prevent breakdowns and costly repairs?

CMH Suzuki Hillcrest has put together a handy guide for five essential fluid checks you can easily do yourself between scheduled dealership services. This will help you ensure your car is running smoothly and safely.

Checking your engine oil level

The vehicle engine must be cold and not running. Look for a yellow, red, or brightly coloured loop/hood that looks like a handle. Have a cloth/rag handy and pull the oil dipstick out of the tube. Wipe the dipstick clean with a cloth/rag and insert it fully back into its tube. Remove the dipstick and check that the oil level is between the markings indicated on the dipstick.

car-steering-fluid

Engine/Radiator coolant

The vehicle engine needs to be cold and not running (do not open the coolant or radiator cover when the engine temperature is hot/high), locate the reservoir for the coolant recovery system. It is usually a translucent plastic container mounted near the radiator. The reservoir will have upper(hot) and lower(cold) level markings moulded into it. If the fluid is below the lower mark, add coolant up to that point, but not any higher.

window-washer-water

Window washer fluid

This usually has a sign that looks like a water fountain. If the level is low just fill the bottle with water until the fluid nears the top. We advise using bug-remover washer fluid in summer.

Power-steering fluid

The remotely mounted translucent plastic power-steering bottle will have minimum/maximum indicators moulded into it. Make sure that the power-steering fluid is always between those two levels, and not too full or too low.

brake-fluid

Brake fluid

The brake fluid reservoir is usually on top of the master cylinder at the rear of the engine compartment on the driver side. Locate the translucent plastic reservoir with upper and lower-level markings moulded into it. If the level is near or below the lower mark, have an auto repair shop inspect the brake system for leaks or wear as soon as possible.

Just like we need water and oil to function, your vehicle relies on various vehicle fluid levels to operate smoothly and avoid breakdowns. But how can you tell if your vehicle fluid levels are at the right level? Don’t worry, CMH Suzuki Hillcrest is here to help! Regular maintenance checks, which include checking your vehicle’s fluid levels, are crucial in ensuring your car’s performance and longevity.

Car Warranties, Service & Maintenance Plans: What You Need to Know

Know Your Car Care Plans: Warranty, Service and Maintenance

cmh-suzuki-hillcrest-warranty-and-service-booklet

Congratulations on your new Suzuki from CMH Suzuki Hillcrest. This is an exciting time, and your new car comes with some great benefits to help you during the ownership experience.

One important thing to understand is the difference between a warranty, maintenance and a service plan. These plans can help you save money, but they cover different things

What is the Difference Between a Warranty, Maintenance and a Service Plan?

Warranty

This is like a promise from Suzuki that covers repairs to your car for a certain amount of time (usually 5 years) or a certain number of kilometres driven (usually 200,000km). It depends on which comes first and can vary depending on the Suzuki model you purchased. If something breaks due to a defect covered by the warranty, Suzuki will fix it for free.

suzuki-owners-manual-table-contents

Service Plan

This plan helps pay for the scheduled maintenance your Suzuki needs, like oil changes and tyre rotations. This can help you budget for car care and keep your Suzuki running smoothly. Some Suzuki models come with a standard service plan included in the purchase price, while others may require an additional purchase. These plans typically cover maintenance for 2 or 4 years, depending on the plan, with coverage of 30,000km or 60,000km.

Maintenance Plan

Although the Suzuki brand does not come standard with a maintenance plan it’s available as an optional extra that can be included on your finance application. A maintenance plan is basically an upgrade on a service plan which includes wear-and-tear on the vehicle such as the gearbox, clutch, suspension, brake pad, discs, wiper blades, shock absorbers, globes and fuses, wheel bearings, replacement gas for air-conditioning system etc. The maintenance plan simply covers the cost of your regular service (including labour) as well as the cost of repairs to parts caused by wear and tear.

The Importance of Understanding the Difference Between these Car Plans

Understanding the difference between a warranty, service, and a maintenance plan will ensure you get the most out of your vehicle now that you’re the proud owner. While these plans can save you money in the long run, they serve different purposes. For example, your warranty protects you from unexpected repairs due to manufacturer defects, while a maintenance plan helps you budget for routine servicing that keeps your Suzuki running smoothly. Consult your owner’s manual for the specifics of your coverage, or don’t hesitate to contact CMH Suzuki Hillcrest for any questions. We are happy to help you navigate the exciting world of Suzuki ownership.

Save Money: Secret Fuel-Efficiency Hacks for Automatics

By

Automatic Driver’s Fuel-Efficiency Handbook

fuel-gauge

Do you drive an automatic Suzuki and wish you could get better kilometres on your fuel? You’re not alone! Many automatic car owners feel like they’re at the mercy of their vehicle’s fuel efficiency. But the good news is a few simple and efficient driving techniques can stretch your tank further.

CMH Suzuki Hillcrest provides tips for saving fuel on automatic transmissions.

Keep reading the blog as we uncover(in detail) the 4 essential fuel-saving tips for drivers of automatic cars.

Tyre Pressure

Underinflated tyres cause your car to drag, increase stopping distances, and are generally unsafe. In each tyre, a portion as large as the palm of your hand touches the road surface. This affects the way you drive and your fuel economy.

fuel-saving-tips-for-automatic-transmision-cars

Aggressive driving

You can save petrol by accelerating gently and pulling away slowly rather than driving aggressively (racing and crazy acceleration).

Keep Momentum

Drive slowly and consistently, and don’t brake unless you need to. When driving on a flat surface such as a highway, you can save fuel by using your cruise control. A body in motion stays in motion, and therefore uses less energy and fuel.

automatic-transmision-gear-lever

Maintenance

Your vehicle will perform best when it is in good mechanical condition. Regular maintenance will extend the life of your vehicle and save you money on fuel and repair expenses.

Wrappin Up

In conclusion, by incorporating these fuel-saving techniques into your driving routine, you can maximise the efficiency of your automatic Suzuki and squeeze more kilometres out of every tank. Remember, a smooth and steady driving style and proper car maintenance will save you money at the pump and significantly contribute to a safer and more enjoyable driving experience. So put these tips into practice and watch those gas mileage numbers climb.

Customise Your Suzuki Jimny

A true legend, the Suzuki Jimny has carved its reputation as one of the most capable off-roaders around. It’s no surprise then that it’s earned a loyal following, even inspiring the friendly “Jimny Wave” amongst drivers. But what if you could take yours a step further? Let’s explore how to customise your Suzuki Jimny to perfectly match your adventuring spirit.

suzuki-jimny-suv

There is nothing more exciting than accessorising your Jimny for an off-road adventure. What most people do not realise is how much value certain accessories add to your driving experience. Here are some of the accessories that you can find at CMH Suzuki Pinetown:

  • Mudguards and Mudflaps can reduce the number of stones that get kicked up. If you travel through muddy terrain, then this is a must-have.
  • Front and rear skid plates will also come in handy if you regularly hit the dirt roads.
  • Waterproof seat covers will surely come in handy on your adventure trips or any outdoor activity which can get a bit grimy.
  • Roof Racks which can carry up to 30kgs. There are several different roof racks that you can choose from.
  • Cooler Box is always a winner.
  • Door sill and loading edge protection will protect your car’s paint against school bags, shoes and sports equipment that get thrown into the car with wild abandon.

We at CMH Suzuki Pinetown are huge fans of the Jimny – and it’s no surprise it won the World Urban Car of the Year Award in 2019. This versatile 4×4 truly offers the best of both worlds. Recognised for its compact size and city-friendly driving in awards like the World Car Awards, it’s also praised for its off-road prowess by the likes of the SA and UK Car of the Year Awards. But awards can only tell part of the story.

Visit us at CMH Suzuki Pinetown for a test drive. We can also help you customise your Suzuki Jimny.
