Approximately 35% of all vehicle purchases in the country are done through organisations which are SAVRALA members. Members rate manufacturers on around 50 questions twice annually (May and September). The rating is around Customer Service and the overall Service offering which the manufacturers provide to the Association and its members.<\/p>\n<p>Major evaluation criteria include Communication and Marketing, Financial Issues (including pricing), Maintenance and Technical Support, Dealer Network Support and Vehicle Security.<\/p>\n<p>In the individual awards section, VWSA\u2019s Gina Handley was recognised as the best Rental Account Manager in the Rental Industry.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCongratulations must go to the Volkswagen Fleet Sales Team and to the Volkswagen Rental Sales Team. Through them our customers have recognised VWSA for our ongoing commitment to customer satisfaction,\u201d concluded Powels.<\/p>\n<p><strong>These awards add to a host of others already bestowed on VWSA this year:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Volkswagen Polo was named the 2011 Wesbank\/SAGMJ Car of the Year in March.<\/li>\n<li>VWSA notched up two awards at the Exporters Club Eastern Cape 2011 Exporter of the Year Awards in August.
