Hyundai sets new SA benchmark with 3-Year Parts Warranty and 90% Parts availability

 

Hyundai continues to set a high bar, becoming the first Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) in South Africa to offer an industry-leading 3-year unlimited kilometres parts warranty.

 

While some OEMs and alternative parts suppliers cap parts warranties at 12 months with kilometre limits, Hyundai’s 3-year unlimited kilometres parts warranty reflects confidence in product quality, supplier partnerships as well as supply chain integrity.  For customers, this translates into reduced ownership risk as well as lower vehicle maintenance costs.

 

Sam Matlhola, Parts Director at Hyundai Automotive South Africa said the brand’s value proposition rests firmly on quality assurance, operational excellence and offering the customers peace of mind. “In a market where aftersales support and supply chain resilience are under increasing scrutiny, we go beyond the extra-mile to get customers back on the road in no time.  Even our rental fleet customers can attest to limited downtime experienced as they need vehicles mobile to generate revenue daily.”

 

Adding further weight to its aftersales credentials, the company boasts a 90% parts availability success ratio in South Africa, a figure that positions the brand among the top performers in the industry. “We have never been challenged successfully about the quality and reliability of our genuine parts.  It means our customers can be proud to keep their Hyundai vehicles in good condition as this preserves their vehicle’s resale value.  This is something we are extremely proud of," said Matlhola.

 

“As modern vehicles become increasingly sophisticated, the importance of using genuine parts has never been greater,” emphasized Matlhola. “Repairs today are no longer about simply replacing worn items but require components designed to exact OEM factory specifications, to ensure vehicle’s durability and optimal performance.”
