The Supertech Group has also recently expanded its dealership count, following a successful and exciting takeover in Newcastle. Supertech Newcastle opened its doors on March 1, 2015 and customers in the area, as well as those travelling between Durban and Johannesburg, can experience excellence in service backed by three decades of motoring experience and customer service.

Customer Service
The dealership is vastly different to other dealerships. Salesmen do not approach customers as they enter, they are instead greeted by warm hostesses and then the BMW Genius. Using an i-pad, these tech savvy geniuses provide prospective buyers a host of information and product knowledge, a no-pressure explanation on the features of each BMW. Customers relax in executive lounges, sip on gourmet coffees and customise their own BMW on a big screen, linked to the salesman and Genius's i-pad. These are a few innovative features of Future Retail. Supertech Durban is the first dealership to adopt a Future Retail showroom layout, which is at the heart of the progressive development behind Supertech Durban and has been adopted by all management and staff, as the way forward in engaging customers and enhancing the customer experience. The emphasis on customer service is apparent each time a customer arrives at the dealership. Ongoing communication is a key feature of customer relationship management. From the moment a customer makes contact with the dealership, to the delivery of the vehicle, through to after sales service the customer is kept informed of all processes and options available to him. This ensures that all customer needs are known and requirements met, as well as ensures that any challenges may be handled timeously.
The Isetta Bar named after the iconic vintage BMW car, has a qualified chef that provides a warm and convenient place to enjoy a meal. Customers can also watch television or access their emails through the free wifi connectivity available. As an extra treat, massage chairs, a shoe shine machine and baby changing facilities are available for the customers' pleasure.
