Owning and maintaining a vehicle in South Africa is becoming increasingly costly. The price of items like tyres, exhausts, brakes and shock absorbers continues to rise, putting pressure on vehicle owners' budgets. However, while it can be a financial challenge to afford these essential auto spares, putting off the replacement of worn components - especially tyres - can be a significant safety risk and may even lead to fines or accidents. In response to these challenges, MFC and Avo have teamed up to launch Avo Auto Care, an innovative solution allowing qualifying MFC vehicle finance clients access to finance, to replace their tyres. This is a first-of-its-kind offering for Avo Auto in South Africa. In partnership with Channel Africa, we look to have a discussion on the new Avo Auto Care offerings and how it's making it easy for MFC vehicle finance clients to keep their vehicles in showroom condition. Thami Ngubeni spoke to Julie Vetter - Executive of Avo Auto at Nedbank.
