Stoney’s Wheel and Tyre in Bloemfontein has received an ace up its sleeve in the form of another prestigious award as recognition for offering innovation, quality service, and a range of products.

The dealership was presented the Dunlop Zone Regional Platinum Dealer of the Year award.

This recognition was for being voted as the top dealership in the Free State, Northern Cape, Eastern Cape, and Lesotho region for 2023.

Stoney’s Wheel and Tyre was presented the coveted accolade at the Dunlop Dealer of the Year awards. The franchise held the awards event annually to honour the top performing dealerships at both national and regional level.

The participants are judged on the following aspects: customer service excellence, revenue and volume growth, participation in Dunlop’s value-added offerings, as well as engagement with marketing and communication campaigns.

Stoney’s Wheel and Tyre provides these offerings to commercial and retail clients through its branches in Bloemfontein.

The dealership provides quality services that meet the needs of customers, thanks to the more than 25 dedicated and highly-trained personnel.

Frikkie van Eeden of Stoney’s Wheel and Tyre in Bloemfontein, attributes the recognition to the dealership in its ability to continue maintaining a strong reputation, uphold the brand value, and build and maintain trust with clients.

“Offering excellent services to customers and products are part of our values and mission.”

“The reputation and commitment of our dealerships offering quality service, and competitive pricing on a range of products makes us stand out from our competitors in the more than two decades since we ventured in the industry in 1996,” said Van Eeden.

In 2022, Stoney’s Wheel and Tyre walked away with two gold awards Z national and regional, respectively. The dealership also boasts a cabinet of diamond trophy awards.

Van Eeden believes the recognition is a testimony of the franchise’s hard work and innovation to build a good reputation, in addition to positive customer experience.

“Customer experience is central to brand and business growth. Our hard work, customer satisfaction, and trust has enabled us to rebuild as a business after the Covid-19 pandemic, given the challenges everybody has since faced,” said Van Eeden.
