Meet our very OWN Finance and Insurance Lady in the used cars department Christine Theunissen, Christine has been with us for over 38 years (No like seriously).
Christine was only 21 years old when she started off as an F&I and joined our branch, she was young and ambitious and knew exactly what she wanted. Nothing was going to stop her as she knew where she wanted to be.
Christine says she can literally do her job with her eyes closed, that’s how great she is at what she does, she says she could never see herself doing anything else. Over the years she learned that people come to the dealership trusting us and people need to walk out with their hopes reached.
Anyone who has worked with Christine will agree that It is definitely a pleasure working with her. Christine says her greatest fulfilment comes when a client’s wants and needs are met and the client is happy. Trust us when we say even our clients are happy after dealing with her.
Her experience in the industry is what keeps her soaring to greater heights, 10 years ago Christine was number one F&I in the group and in 2017 she was number eight. With that much experience it’s quite clear that Christine knows exactly what she is doing and does it well.
Christine says she is working with a great team everyone gets on very well, this is all because they aim to deliver superior service to their customers.
You cannot help but be in awe of all the achievements that greet you when entering Christine’s office as well as her warm smile, as a dealership we are pleased to have someone as dedicated, hardworking and selfless as Christine and to top it all clients relate to her.

Research shows that the brain cannot handle processing two tasks simultaneously effectively. It can switch between the tasks however your reaction time is diminished while these actions are being performed. Many people think they can do two things at once but it's just not possible to concentrate fully on both simultaneously. Drivers stop monitoring their environment and new drivers in particular aren't in the habit of scanning the road for hazards. Dividing your attention for even a second makes for an even more dangerous combination.
Derek Kirkby, Training Director for Ford's global Driving Skills for Life (DSFL) programme in South Africa, says: "In my experience of training hundreds of drivers, I'd say that even normal, everyday driving uses around 85 per cent of your mental load. Sending one text or selfie, and even talking with a passenger, can overload the brain while driving - increasing the risk of an accident."
"When you're using 85 per cent of your brainpower to drive, your mind isn't capable of doing much else," adds Kirkby. "Regardless of whether you're a professional or new to the road - you will be a safer driver if you understand how much of your brain you're using just to drive the car."
