DANKBETUIGING TEENOOR GYS PITZER MOTORS VIR UITMUNTENDE DIENSLEWERING.

10 Maart 2021 DANKBETUIGING TEENOOR GYS PITZER MOTORS VIR UITMUNTENDE DIENSLEWERING. Gedurende Junie/Julie 2019 het Gys Pitzer Motors ‘n voorheen gebruikte outomatiese Suzuki Jimny motor aan my verkoop – presies wat ek in gedagte gehad het. Agt maande later pak die totale ratkas op – waarborgtyd verstreke …! My versekeringsdiens sleep die Jimny na my jarelange-werktuigkundige. Hy sleep hom na ‘n spesialis van outomatiese ratkasherstellings. Die Jimny staan toe daar vóór, dwarsdeur en ná Covid-19 se hoogste vlak van inperking, sonder enige resultate. Dis tóé dat ek aan Chris Potgieter, nuwe bestuurder van Gys Pitzer Motors, Gezina se deur gaan aanklop. Hy’t hoflik, vriendelik en simpatiek geluister terwyl hy die feitlikhede van die aangeleentheid op sy rekenaar nagegaan het. Hy was die eerste person wat gewillig was om my konstruktief te probeer help!!! Chris het aangehou om een na die ander werkwinkel se werktuigkundige te soek, te ****ak en die Jimny na hulle te sleep, totdat hy uiteindelik ‘n geskikte en gewillige kêrel aan de Oos-Rand gekry het. Tussen Chris en Bernard Kruger, bestuurder van die werkwinkel van Gys Pitzer Motors, Gezina (net so ordentlik en simpatiek) het hulle hul duime op dié werktuigkundige (wat nie konstruktief gekommunikeer het nie!) gehou. Bernard het soms Oos-Rand toe gery om seker te maak die werk word gedoen. Chris en Bernard het wraggies die t****e en derde myl geloop en die Jimny deur die drif getrek. Só het ek verlede week my Jimny gekry. My hart het gejubel! Ek vra toe “... en wat nou verder …?”(met die finansiële aspek in gedagte). Chris se antwoord: “Neem die sleutels, gebruik die Jimny en hou ons op hoogte … Gys, die eienaar van Gys Pitzer Motors het die ander relevante sake hanteer.” My hart kon ontplof!!! Ek is vanjaar 80 jaar oud, en wou beding om maandeliks oor ‘n tydperk die afbetaling te doen. My beker loop oor van dankbaarheid! Dankie, dankie, en nogmaals dankie vir die onbaatsugtige diens wat ek van julle Gys Pitzer-span ontvang het. Dis ongekend in die wêreld wat ons vandag beleef. Julle het GEEN idee wat dit vir my beteken nie! Lenca Smith -oOo-

10 March 2021 CONVEYMENT OF GRATITUDE FOR EXCELLENT SERVICES RENDERED BY GYS PITZER MOTORS During June/July 2019 Gys Pitzer Motors sold me a previously owned automatic Suzuki Jimny – exactly what I had in mind. Eight months after the sale the gearbox broke down completely – guarantee period expired. My insurance service trailed the Jimny to my mechanic of longstanding. In turn he trailed the Jimny to a specialist in automatic gearbox fixing. There the Jimny was harboured before, right through as well as for a period even after the highest level of Covid-19 isolation was lowered – without any results. At this stage I went to seek advice from Chris Potgieter, new manager at Gys Pitzer Motors, Gezina. He was polite, friendly and a sympathetic listener while checking the relevant facts on his computer. This was the first person willing to constructively assist me in this matter!!! Chris continued to contact different workshops in search of an appropriate mechanic to fix the automatic Jimny gearbox and eve trailed the Jimny to some prospects. At last he found a mechanic residing at the East Rand, who was able and willing to manage the task. Between Chris and Bernard Kruger, the workshop manager at Gys Pitzer Motors (as polite and sympathetic as Chris), they kept the mechanic (who did not communicate constructively!) under their thumbs. At times Bernard even traveled to the East Rand to check if the work was being done. Honestly Chris and Bernard walked the second and third mile to see this job through. I received my Jimny last week. What a jubilation! On my question “ … now, what next …” (with regard to the financial aspect) Chris rep****: “Take the keys, use the Jimny and keep us posted … Gys, the owner of Gys Pitzer Motors, handled all other matters implicated.” My heart felt like exploding!!! I’m eighty years of age this year and was planning to pay off the costs over a period of time. My cup of thankfulness is overflowing !!!! Thank you, thank you and once again thank you to Gys Pitzer Motors for rendering such unselfish service to me. This attitude is unknown of in the world we experience today. You haven’t the VAGUEST idea how much this means to me! Lenca Smith
