Motor dealers have to wait for level 3 to open their doors, but automotive factories may start producing vehicles again from May 1

Image:Local car factories will be able to start assembling vehicles again in a limited manner when level 4 restrictions are implemented from May 1, but motor dealerships will only be allowed to start selling cars again under level 3.

This is according to the detailed Covid-19 Risk Adjusted Strategy announced by government on Saturday. President Cyril Ramaphosa on Thursday announced that from May 1 there will be a phased approach to lifting the hard lockdown and easing its rules which were implemented in March. It is usually mandatory to have a vehicle serviced according to the recommended service intervals, which must be adhered to inside of a 2,000km or one month window either side of the interval, but a number of car companies have

Here is how the phased relaxing of lockdown conditions will affect the motor industry and motorised travel in SA:* Interprovincial travel is not permitted except to return to work with proof of employment, in exceptional circumstances such as funerals or essential services.* Components for vehicles undergoing emergency repairs where such vehicle is used by a person engaged in essential services work.

It's not like people flood the dealerships anyway, it's just nonsense.

They forgetting one thing, if you don't service your vehicle in time, the warranty expires. Are the government going to repair the vehicles which broke down and warranty expired due to no servicing allowed? 🤬

Only if that proposal remains unchanged. Please comment before 12:00 on Monday

Small companies are operating. All spare shops are selling spares so i don't know why this government that I personally don't vote for is trying to destroy their own people plus us that actually contribute to the economy. Shoot yourself in the foot.

And all the small workshops are open...... hahahaha.

What nonsense

Numbnuts I tell you! Only open up servicing of vehicles during level 2? I am at a loss at the logic on this one!😳🤦🏻‍♂️

Bloody hell! 🙆🏾‍♂️

Automotive industry must be more specific as it has a lot of sub sections. Each sector must be advised separately by it head. Unions , Bargaining Council's must advise there member's than Level 4 needs one third staff only. Many are of the view they will return normally by May 4

This week I changed a Kia Picanto cam-belt and clutch. On Monday I shall start on the VW Chico's clutch replacement.

And we are expected to go to work hayi bayaqhela

Our leaders are really ass backward

That time my car is almost due for service.

SA Lockdown: Licencing period extendedTransport Minister Fikile Mbalula is giving motorists a month's grace on licences and car registrations. Our problem is: Drivers licences expired end March. Went for the renewall test at the end of FEBRUARY, hence no need for a temp. license. Did obviously not receive any sms to say they are ready before the Lockdown started. So, what do we do? 30 Day grace does not cover this... It should have at least a 3 month extension after the lockdown.
