trying to buy a car from Club motors randburg and haven't been a great experience, Went for a test drive in a car and on the test drive the sales person next to me put in an OTP for his clients. His client had not even taken the car for a drive. I don't know but think he said this guys probably going to buy this co so quickly put in your OTP. The first time I phoned for another car lady said come in and see the car. When I got there she said ow sorry there is a finance application already in
:thumbdo: for Club Motors Randburg

Ok, just bought a 330i in manual, from a very unusual BMW Dealership, South East Auto, in Germiston. Almost hidden in a industrial area, but WOW 100% for a stunning used car sales experience, person on the used cars to speak to is Michael.

As always Auto Bavaria in Midrand on spares, Pieter has left to Vereeniging, the person to speak to there now is George!

I finally found my dream bmw 320d
all thanks to the outstanding service and passion
of JSN Motors and all the team. Special mention
to Steven the pre owned manager who went the extra distance

I'm a bit unsure about JSN. It started Ok and the service was excellent, then the last time I took my 120d for service, it came back with a strange noise. After many arguments, and them pointing at different things, adjusting the suspension, buckled rims which I had to pay good money to fix, etc. I finally gave up, as the noise wasn't going anywhere and took the car to Sandton Auto, it turns out they (JSN) unscrewed the rear door inner cover (for some strange reason) and just didn't put it back properly, so it remained loose. Now all sorted. I've never looked back since, Sandton Auto has been excellent with both my cars, and GC Lukhele in particular has been outstanding with both sales and helping out with after-sales where he can (He sold me my VO 1M).
 
Club motors fountains is the sh*t (in a good way :rollsmile:). Man what great service I had agin today. took my car for a holiday check, they also sommer did my alignment, as they feel autoquip did not do it 100% to spec, even tho BMW weight bags was used.

The Service Adviser even asked me how I keep my car's paint in such awesome condition.

Fanatics, I need some advise...

My car is due for a service in 2400km (acording to the OBC) and I am leaving for holiday next week.

Getting the car serviced once I'm on holiday is not really an option as there is no dealership close by.
For obvious reasons I would like to get the car serviced before I go away. I do not want to get the car serviced once im back (possibly after 2400km).

I phoned JSN and I was advised that they can not book the car in if the OBC reads above 2000km as it will not be covered by motorplan. They said I should rather opt for the free holiday check, meh...:thumbdo:

Can anyone refer a contact or maybe advise of a different dealership in the Gauteng area that would make an exception on the rule?

I would not even have my lawn mower serviced at Cedar Isle. Rather take it to Fountains.
