As a convenience, we also supply tyres, wheel alignment, and wheel balancing in-house. This can all be done when you bring your vehicle in for a service, or when it is required.
We strive for excellent service and back that up with quality workmanship. We also offer Saturday services, for those who can’t make it during the week and for those who find this more convenient.
The community and environment are very important to us and as such, we like to do our part by using a waterless car wash system on all our serviced vehicles.
Our office hours are from Monday to Friday 7.30am to 5.00pm and on a Saturday 8.00am to 12.00 pm.

The first thing no matter how obvious is ensure your doors are locked. When you get into your vehicles lock all doors and put on your seatbelt. Always remember “Safety First”. When you park your vehicle no matter how short of a time you are going to be away from it Always lock your doors. Locking your doors reducing theft by more than 50%.
2: Put away valuables
Always put your valuables in the boot. Laptop bags, handbags and any other items that draw the attention of someone to the inside of your vehicle. This is regardless of whether the vehicle is parked or not.
3: Parking in safe areas
Park in areas that are well lit. Do not park in secluded areas as this attracts thieves to your vehicle. when you park your car in an area that has good lighting you greatly reduce the chances of your vehicle being broken into or getting stolen. If you have access to underground parking, rather park there than to park your car in the street.
4: Check your surroundings
Check your mirrors for any vehicles that may be following you. Be extremely vigilant when coming from the bank or the airport. Do not drive straight to your final destination. If you feel you are being followed rather drive to the police station nearest to you.
5: Reinforce your windows
It’s a good idea to get anti smash & grab tint film on your vehicle. This will ensure you are protected in the event that someone tries to smash your windows in. The film slows down the process of smashing the window in and the window will not shutter completely.
6: Install a tracker
A tracker can help to recover your vehicle when it has been stolen. It’s a watchful eye over your vehicle. Most times your vehicle will be dumped somewhere for a few days. If no one comes for the thief will assume it doesn’t have a tracker and will come back to fetch it.

When buying a vehicle, new or a pre-owned, the most important aspects to take into consideration is the service plan, maintenance plan and warranty of the car you intend to buy. Another important thing is the length of these plans and this will suit each individual accordingly. It is also important to know the differences, especially between a service and maintenance plan.
Service Plan
A service plan gives you complete peace of mind and covers the cost of the routine servicing as stipulated in the manufacturer’s service schedule so you don’t have to worry about yearly cost increases as your servicing costs are fixed and provided for you. Your vehicle will be serviced at manufacturer’s approved dealer where genuine parts are used and trusted technicians. Generally, this plan will include the labour and replacement costs of the air-, pollen-, fuel filter, spark plugs, fluids, coolant, consumables, cambelt, V-belts, tensioners and drive pulleys, coolant hoses and sump plug gasket accordingly by the manufacturer's service schedule.
Maintenance Plan
A maintenance plan has more benefits than a service plan and will include typical wear and tear items like brake pads & linings, brake discs, wiper blades, batteries, clutch, rear wheel cylinder, fuses and globes, starter motor, alternator, suspension, window winder mechanisms, wheel bearings, CV joints etc. Basically, the maintenance covers items on your car that has a wear cycle and will need to be replaced at some point during the car’s lifespan so you can spend less time worrying about the costs of taking care and maintaining your vehicle which leaves you with more time enjoying the roads.
Ultimately when buying a vehicle it is important to be informed and to make sure that any future risk will be taken care off. In today’s busy life, we all aspire for convenience and that is the benefit of these plans, to make your life easier. We all want to know that we will be taken care off in the future and know that you will not have any stressful experience when it comes to services makes for a good night’s sleep.

Yellow is regarded as a safe colour for a car. It’s actually quite popular across the world, even though people are described as driving a lemon.
Black is regarded a cool car colour. People that drive black cars are executives mostly or their drivers. Its shows the sleek edges and bold features of a car. Consider black if you are part of the cool kids.
Red is the most popular colour, for obvious reasons. The colour red is sexy. You have to be bold and outgoing to drive a red car. It screams I'm a fast-living, fast-loving, fast-moving individual. It means that you'd be driving a Ferrari if your budget allowed for it.
White cars resemble cleanliness more than anything. “White cars look smart and cool in the same way an all-white outfit looks smart and cool”. If you are all about washing your car more often than not, then white is definitely the colour for you.
There aren't quite so many green cars but they reflect a vibrant playful lifestyle. You are easy going and probably fun and flirty too. Great colour idea for a first car unless if your first car is a Bentley then that’s another story.
Silver cars are currently the most popular They say that you're calm without being ostentatious, ambitious without being flashy, and that you're only one car away from a Mercedes.
Purple cars are not so common and not as cool as the other colours but you will definitely make a statement, not too sure what statement though.
However, cars colours have evolved with the times you no longer get just red. Ford has some candy red and race red just to make it that more exciting, sea grey, copper pulse, cobalt blue, ingot silver, magnetic silver aluminium are some of the different variations you can choose from the list goes on and on. But don't stress if you don’t know the new fancy names: if you ask for the red one, they'll understand.

Few innovations provide a more wide-ranging performance and efficiency advantage than reducing weight. All factors of a vehicle's capabilities - acceleration, handling, braking, safety, efficiency - can improve through the use of advanced, lighter materials.
The all-new Ford GT features advanced lightweight composites, which will help serve Ford's entire product lineup moving forward. With the broad application of structural carbon fibre elements, the GT will exhibit one of the best power-to-weight ratios of any production car.
Anchored by a carbon fibre passenger cell, the GT features aluminium front and rear subframes encapsulated in structural carbon fibre body panels. Carbon fibre is one of the world's strongest materials for its mass - enabling an ultra-stiff foundation for chassis components while creating a lighter overall package for increased dynamic performance and efficiency.
Aerodynamic efficiency is at the heart of the GT design, actively reducing drag while aiding downforce and stability.
From its optimum tear-drop shape to its aircraft-inspired fuselage and visibility-enhancing curved windshield, every slope and shape are designed to minimise drag and optimise downforce.
Although each surface on the GT is functionally crafted to manage airflow, it also features fully active aerodynamic components to improve braking, handling and stability.
An active rear spoiler is keyed to both speed and driver input, reactively deploying and adjusting its height and/or pitch angle depending on conditions.
While it shares a legacy with classic Ford racing and performance cars, the GT is a fully contemporary and functional shape that communicates modernity and pure beauty.
The state-of-the-art chassis is suspended by an active racing-style torsion bar and pushrod suspension, with adjustable ride height. The 20-inch wheels are shod with Michelin Pilot Super Sport Cup 2 tires featuring a unique compound and structure designed specifically for the Ford GT. Multi-spoke wheels encircle carbon-ceramic brake discs at all four corners.
The narrow-profile canopy reduces frontal area and caps a purposeful interior that provides state-of-the-art technology to ensure control, comfort and safety. The two-seat cockpit is accessed by upward-swinging doors and features driver and passenger seats integrated directly into the carbon fibre passenger cell.
This configuration significantly reduces seating hardware and weight and provides a consistent and direct sensory connection to the chassis. The fixed seating is combined with adjustable pedals and steering column to accommodate a very wide range of driver statures.
An F1-style steering wheel integrates all necessary driver controls, creating a stalkless steering column that allows uncluttered access to the transmission paddle-shift controls. A fully digital and configurable instrument cluster provides a wealth of driver-focused data and is also configurable for multiple driving environments and different driving modes.
"While we hope enthusiasts rejoice about this all-new GT, all Ford customers will benefit from the ultimate performance Ford and its new-generation innovations," said Nair.

We at CMH Ford Pretoria had a fun and exciting April. Filled with a lot of hard work and events.
We had 2 mall events one in Quagga Centre in the first week of April, and one in the third week of April at Wonderpark mall.
Both of these events were a huge success with us receiving a lot of attention on the vehicles we had on display.
Our third event was at Munies Pretoria Municipality Recreational club on Easter weekend. Where we were supporting their sporting events. Along with showing 4 different classes of Ford vehicles. And we would like to thank Munies for the invitation to come and show our vehicles.
We would also like to thank Wonder Park Mall for inviting use to come and show a Ford Focus RS for the opening of the new The Fast and Furious film. It was a great experience for us as a dealer to showcase one of our top sports vehicles.
And lastly, we had some great specials for the end of April, after the Easter weekend.
We had a wonderful month as a dealer and would like to thank all our clients for making this possible.

We at CMH Kempster Ford Pretoria had an awesome January with a lot of sales done by The New vehicle department and Second-hand vehicle department.
We sold a total of 95 vehicles in January with new vehicles selling 53 vehicles and the Used department selling 42 in total.
We also had two displays set up one at Quagga Mall in Pretoria west and one at Wonderpark Mall.
These two displays offered a great experience for our team and client with us offering some insight into the performance and technology of the Ford Mustang and RS. We also thought it would be a great match to show off the New 2.2 Everest paired with the Ford Ranger 2.2 Xl Auto double cab.
All four of these vehicles received a lot of attention and kept our sales executives on their feet.
We will be back at Quagga Mall in the 6th of February and the 13th we will be back in Wonderpark mall.
We are looking forward to be seeing all of our loyal and supporting customers again.
What do you enjoy the most about your job?
I’m a people’s person, I love building relationships and bonding with people. I always put my clients first and they truly are very important to me. To recognise my clients, to bond with them, seeing them come back for their next service and staying loyal to our dealership, it really gives me that heart-warming feeling.
What is your mission and vision for our workshop here at CMH Ford Pretoria North?
My goal is to become a prime dealer. I really want this workshop to become the best and I want the staff members to be passionate, proud and ambitious about their work, and for us to really strive towards excellence.
Have you ever felt like you should just give up, or has anyone pressured you to try something else other than working in a traditionally male-dominated industry?
No, nobody ever told me to do something else. Everyone sometimes hesitates in life, but luckily I have my team and top technicians to assist me, each one of us has a role and a gap to fill and together we are one solid team. I also have my family who keeps on supporting me and most of them are in the motor industry so there is no chance of giving up!
How does it feel to be among only a handful of women in the industry?
It’s definitely a “WOW!” feeling. I think it’s fantastic that the head office of CMH actually promotes it. I believe we live in a world where times are changing and anyone can follow their dreams, it doesn’t matter who you are. I also worked for a female workshop manager, Jeanette, and I believe she is one of the best!
Have there been any times when you have been questioned or ignored in your job just because you are a woman?
Yes, I’ve experienced it before, but I won’t get offended in that kind of situations. I want my clients to be comfortable, happy, and for them to trust us, that is what service is all about at the end of the day.
What words of advice can you give to women-up-and-comers in the industry?
The women in the motor industry need to be “tough cookies”. If you look around in the dealerships you will notice that it is becoming more and more common to see woman working in this industry nowadays simply, because we can! Don’t ever give up, believe in yourself and don’t let anyone ever make you feel that you are not good enough.
