When Martin joined CMH TOYOTA MELROSE he started working as a cleaner, even though his main duty was to keep the dealership clean at all times, but martin was all over the place multitasking as usual. It was then when he was offered a position as a driver. “He says he was thrilled because he knows that life does not get better by chance but it gets better by change”   His interaction with customers started when he was driving them to and from work, to their respective place of work. That’s when he realised that he is a people’s person and the customers love his personality. Martin is funny, entertaining, outspoken and well-spoken, it’s just amazing how one person could be a master of all talents. A day never passes without you laughing even in your saddest times he always finds a way to lighten up everyone’s faces with his ecstatic personally. With his enthusiastic confidence of course, martin went and approached Mr. Charles Webber our franchise director about being given an opportunity to sell cars, even though he had no knowledge regarding sales or selling cars. Little did he know that the step that he took was his stepping stone to success? So martin has been in sales since then doing what he loves best which is selling cars. We are proud to say that martin is one of the hardworking sales executive in our dealership and even though some months are not the greatest months for him, not once has he ever lost hope because of his passion and love of selling cars. This really shows that one must never underestimate the power of a person who is determined to change life and work with all their might towards it, they are the ones who turn into leaders and revolutionize the world around us.

Just eight, and nine months after their local unveilings, Toyota has updated its respective Fortuner and Hilux models. Already a firm favourite, topping the sales charts and racking up an impressive 30 000 units since its introduction, it is the Hilux SRX models which are subject to a range of updates. The most significant change comes in the form of the change from the previous ‘narrow- body’ design to the new ‘wide-body’ construction. Metaphorically speaking, the Hilux SRX has been subjected to a rigorous gym exercise programme, with the result that it now stands wider, taller and more prominent. The change to the wide configuration brings along with it bold, integrated over-fenders (as seen on existing Raider models) paired with a wider, front bumper design. This re-profiled exterior adds 55mm to the width of Single-cab and Double-cab SRX derivatives (up to 1855mm). With Xtra-Cab models already boasting the ‘wide-body’ construction, the entire SRX range now share the same exterior look and body dimensions, bringing with it a more unified Hilux range. Further enhancing the new beefed up look is a change from steel wheels to wider 17-inch alloy wheels (shared with the Raider models), shod with 265/65 all-terrain tyres.

More Bling For Fortuner

Toyota Fortuner models, 2.8 GD-6 and 4.0 V6, have also received a slight cosmetic upgrade and are now equipped with 18-inch alloy wheels featuring 265/60 rubber, replacing the 17-inch wheels fitted previously. These 17-inch items, however, continue to do duty on the entry level 2.7 VVTi and 2.4 GD-6 models. In addition, 2.7 VVTi and 2.4 GD-6 Fortuner derivatives are now furnished with leather upholstery at no extra cost, replacing the current cloth, boosting the already impressive standard specification list and value for money proposition.

RAV4 Tweaked

For 2016, the RAV4 range receives some enhancements with the top-of-the-range VX model enjoying most of the action. The VX grade receives a boost in safety specification (which will also appease the tech-heads) with the addition of Lane Change Assist. This system also incorporates Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) with a convenient indicator housed within the exterior mirrors. Making shopping mall parking manoeuvres less stressful is the Cross Traffic Alert function, which warns the driver of approaching vehicles when ‘alley docking’. This electronic suite of features joins the already comprehensive safety specification list, which includes; • 9 Airbags incl. driver knee • ABS + EBD + BA • Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) • Hill Assist Control (HAC) • Trailer Sway Control (TSC) • Downhill Assist Control (DAC) on 4WD models • ISOFIX The model line-up continues as before with three engines (two petrol and one diesel) and both 2WD and AWD derivatives on offer. Customers electing for the GX grade have the choice between a 2.0-litre petrol (107kW, 187Nm) powerplant (in both 6-speed manual and CVT guise driving the front wheels) and a 2.2-litre turbodiesel paired with the 6-speed manual transmission, offering AWD. VX buyers have a choice between a super refined 2.5-litre 4-cylinder petrol engine (132kW, 233Nm) and a ‘torquey’ 2.2-litre diesel (110kW, 340Nm) variant – both driving through a 6-speed automatic transmission with driver-selectable AWD.

Toyota is one of the most trusted brands in the whole continent, we at CMH Toyota Melrose pride ourselves as one of the dealerships that sells the Toyota brand. Our dealership provides product knowledge, professionalism and empathy that comprise with our customers’ needs.

We have a new car department which sells brand new cars from the Toyota manufactures, a used car department that sells different brands of pre-owned vehicles and one the reasons that keep us going is that we take very good care of our vehicles and which is why we still have the same customers buying vehicles from us.

Then there’s also our service department which is also one of the busiest departments in our dealership, which consists of hard working and professional service advisors who always go beyond measures to assist customers by booking in their vehicles for service or repairs. Our service advisors work hand in hand with our highly qualified technicians whose main key role is to make sure that the vehicles at workshop are properly serviced and taken care of, the technicians also have a close working relationship with the parts department because that’s where they get all the parts they need from.

The technicians have also to liaise with service advisors on the status of the vehicles that are in the workshop. Once they are repaired and not carried over before being returned to customers, the vehicles are then taken to the wash bay were they are thoroughly cleaned by our three wash bay champions who are also young and enthusiastic, these guys can really perform magic with their hands, once they wash a vehicle it comes back as good as new. And not forgetting our shuttle drivers who also have an important role in the production of the dealership as they are the ones who make sure that customers are fetched and dropped off to their respective homes or place of work.

CMH Toyota Melrose stands afloat today because of our commitment towards our customers and working together as a team, and to also help cultivate team philosophy in our dealership that will ensure both production and profits are maximized.
