Nate’s Car Sales goes big for 4th birthday bash

- NICOLETTE SCROOBY

Nate’s Car Sales is celebratin­g their fourth birthday tomorrow and have a range of festivitie­s planned at their Amalinda premises.

Owner Nathanael Padayachee, better known as Nate, has a lot to celebrate in this past year alone.

It has been just over one year that the car dealership moved to their 106 Main Road, Amalinda spot, after operating for many years from a private residence.

In February they expanded into an adjacent building which houses legendary and classic vehicles in an ultra-modern showroom. “We believe this is a first for East London.”

“This is exciting times for Nate’s Car Sales. Most of our customers have become family and we are very excited to celebrate our fourth birthday with them,” he said.

A few years back, after suffering from a near death asthma attack Nate sold his only personal car and used the money to buy another one. He kept buying and selling cars and quickly built Nate’s Car Sales into an East London landmark on the corner of Rosedale and Amalinda Main Road. Red, white and black flags adorn the premises and drivers hoot and call out for Nate all day long.

“I knew little when I started and needed to learn a lot and fast as the pressure to make things work was high due to family commitment­s.

“It was a lot of hard work, late nights and travelling. However, you reap what you sow.

“With the support of my family, friends and customers, I managed to excel with the business.

“This is a success story based on the grace and blessings of God.

In Nate’s personal capacity and through the business, food parcels and profits are given out as donations. Nate believes this is why the business has been blessed.

As part of tomorrow’s birthday celebratio­ns Nate’s Car Sales will be collecting toys for charity.

At the start of winter they had a blanket drive and more recently celebrated Mandela Day by also giving back to the community.

Nate’s Car Sales also sponsors vehicle spinning, stock cars, his son’s go-karting, under-privileged soccer teams, various charities, different sporting events, all different motor sports, and they were involved in bringing DJs down to East London – “we do it all”. We always try and give back where we can.”

Nate’s Car Sales’ website www.natescarsa­les.co.za is updated regularly with all their fun days and new vehicle arrivals.

“It’s quite a comprehens­ive site. We upload all the pictures, prices and any additional informatio­n onto our site.

“Our Facebook page is also very popular. A lot of people interact with us through Facebook and it’s a good way for customers to see all our stock.

“We currently have over 170 vehicles from cheapies, taxis, Quantums, LWB bakkies and sport vehicles to family cars, double cabs and more.

“We always have competitio­ns on our Facebook page throughout the year, giving away Nate’s Car Sales hampers, money and more,” said Nate.

“We have a ‘weekly bargain buy’ which we advertise anytime, any day , and it’s always a bargain.”

“The vision for Nate’s Car Sales is to see it become a national franchise, as there is so much interest in other areas indicated by calls and visits from customers all over the country.

Honesty, integrity and sincerity with good service is a big part of Nate’s Car Sales and they believe this is another reason why their customers keep returning and the business is able to grow.

“Most of my customers come back, they refer friends and everyone becomes part of our Nate’s Car Sales family.

“It’s a matter of taking one day at a time and learning with all the new challenges. It’s also about never giving up and always believing,” said Nate.

“I really want to celebrate our fourth birthday with everyone. So please come along and enjoy the day with us,” said Nate.

There will be a jumping castle, free boerewors rolls, face painting for the children, fun games, candyfloss and more.

As part of their birthday celebratio­ns Nate’s Car Sales have also increased their spotters fees for the month of August. You can walk away with R1500 cash by referring friends, colleagues or family to them.

“You could also receive a bonus of R2500 over and above your normal fee if you provide five successful referrals in the same month. So if you want to earn extra cash, get cracking as you can now earn R10 000 a month.”

Nate’s Car Sales is planning something new and exciting, so keep an eye out.

“We can’t do what we do without you. Thank you to everyone who supports Nate’s Care Sales in any way. We’re looking forward to celebratin­g with you tomorrow,” said Nate. CONTACT DETAILS Address: 106 Main Road, Amalinda, East London
