THORNHILL BUSINESS Neil Boonzaier: Consolidated Auto Consolidated Auto, based in Boksburg, is the third biggest Ford Dealership in South Africa. We are also fortunate to be one of the very few privately owned motor dealerships, and are part of the Eastern Cape Motor Group, where we have branches in East London, Port Elizabeth, King William- stown, Port Alfred and Uitenhage. The franchises we have in the Group are Ford, Mazda, Nissan, Volvo, Jaguar and Landrover. Consolidated Auto has always had a philosophy of being different to every- one else. Hence why some years back, as a resident of Thornhill Estate for 18 years, I started the project of booking in Ford vehicles for service, col- lecting and delivering the vehicles from our resident’s homes, while leaving them with a courtesy car, if required. This has proved very convenient, and successful, to the extent that we have managed to take this service level over into our sales department, and have been fortunate to sell and deliver a number of new and used vehicles to our residents. 24/7 Geysers Burst Pipes Leak Detection Bathroom Renovations We work closely with insurance companies Six years ago Consolidated Auto got into a partnership with the Lions Rugby. What started as a small project has grown to the extent that we sponsor 16 vehicles to players and management. It is a partnership that is an absolute privilege to be associated with SA rugby’s most successful team currently, and to have players like Warren Whitely, Franco Mostert, Jaco Kri- el, Andries Coetzee and Ruan Dreyer, along with head coach, Swys de Bruin, all on board. All of my 85 sponsored and company vehicles have ours and Lions branding on, just in case you see them in the estate. Should I be afforded the opportunity to be of service with any motor relat- ed info, I would appreciate the call. Please also join us on June 2 when we will be launching two new models. We will also be holding a competition where you can win 4 tickets to the Springboks vs England rugby test at Emirates Ellis Park. We will be hosting the Harley Davidson club along with some of the Lions rugby players. Take pride and care in your motor vehicle, as it is your second biggest in- vestment, and she will not let you down. For more information, call Neil on 083 443 5443
