We are incredibly proud to announce that Auto House Vryheid has won the highly coveted Isuzu Kiku Shō Award, earning the title of Dealer of the Year LCV – Small. This recognition from Isuzu South Africa is a massive honour for our entire team and reflects our unwavering commitment to service excellence.
The Meaning of the Isuzu Kiku Shō Award
The Isuzu Kiku Shō Award, or Chrysanthemum Award, is deeply rooted in Japanese tradition, symbolising perfection, longevity, and cooperation. The physical award we received features a powerful message that reads: “Like the many petals of the Chrysanthemum, it takes cooperation from all departments to get perfection fit for the best.” This philosophy matches perfectly with how we operate daily at Auto House Vryheid. Winning Dealer of the Year LCV is never the result of a single individual’s effort. It is the direct result of hard work, dedication, and seamless coordination across our entire dealership to maintain service excellence.
A United Team Effort at Auto House Vryheid
From the moment a customer walks through our doors to explore our range of Isuzu bakkies, to the ongoing support provided by our after-sales departments, every team member plays a critical part. Under the guidance of our Dealer Principal, Dennis Jones, our departments operate as a single, unified unit.
We must recognise our Sales team, led by Stephen van Rooyen, for their dedication to customer care and deep knowledge of the Isuzu Light Commercial Vehicle range, which helped secure the Dealer of the Year LCV title. Equally vital are our Service and Parts departments, managed by Alton Adams and Dan Chetty, who ensure every Isuzu on the road remains reliable and performs at its peak using genuine parts, guaranteeing service excellence.
A Century of Trust in Vryheid
For over 100 years, Auto House Vryheid has built a legacy based on integrity, community involvement, and putting the customer first. Winning the Isuzu Kiku Shō Award validates those core principles. Whether we are assisting a local business in expanding its commercial fleet with a reliable workhorse or helping a family find the perfect vehicle for their next adventure, our goal remains the same: to deliver an unmatched automotive experience.
We extend our deepest gratitude to Isuzu South Africa for this recognition, and most importantly, to our loyal customers in Vryheid and the surrounding KwaZulu-Natal areas. Your continued trust in Auto House Vryheid makes achievements like the Dealer of the Year LCV possible.
We invite you to visit us at 264 Kerk Street to experience the service excellence that earned us the Isuzu Kiku Shō Award. We are here with you, for the long run.
