Suzuki Auto South Africa says it has extended the mechanical warranty on all passenger vehicles sold from July to December 2017 to five years or 200 000 km.
The promotion sees the existing three-year or 100 000 km warranty widened at no extra cost to the buyer.
“Over the past few years, we have worked really hard to further improve our customer service and extend our dealer network to place good Suzuki service within the reach of more South Africans,” said André Venter, divisional head for sales and marketing at Suzuki SA.
“We have also improved our warranty and service plans to be both easy to understand and as comprehensive as possible. The extension to five years or 200 000 km signals the successful completion of the project,” he said.
Suzuki SA says the extended warranty covers “all costs in the case of a mechanical failure, barring failures resulting from abuse, a lack of scheduled maintenance or a vehicle accident”.
“In making sure we offer the most benefit to our customers, we have extended our partnership with the Automobile Association to offer five years of free roadside assistance,” added Venter.
The partnership with the AA includes services such as help with changing a flat tyre and jump-starting a flat battery to “car lock out support”, delivery of emergency fuel and even telephonic directions.
