Pinetown is in the eThekwini Metropolitan Municipality, KwaZulu-Natal.
Service history is recorded against the vehicle identification number and follows the car rather than the owner. A gap in it costs real money at resale.
You may service outside the franchise network without voiding the warranty, provided the work meets specification and is recorded. Insist that it is recorded.
This page covers how to contact Combined Motor Holdings in South Africa. The details below were taken from the official Combined Motor Holdings contact page rather than from any third-party directory.

A dealership group’s head office does not run the individual dealerships day to day. A sale, a service booking or a warranty query goes to the dealership; group customer care is the escalation when the dealership does not resolve it.
Self-service options before you call
- Check the official site at cmh.co.za, which carries the current contact details and any online enquiry form.
- Email to [email protected], which gives you a written record of what you asked and when.
- Calling outside peak times. Monday mornings and the hour after 17:00 are usually the worst for South African contact centres.
What to have ready before you call
- A clear one line summary of what you need resolved.
- Your account, order or reference number if you already have one.
- The identity document or account holder details, since most South African providers verify who you are before discussing an account.
- Dates, amounts and any error message exactly as it appeared.
- A pen and paper for the reference number. Ask for one every time, because without it a follow up call starts from nothing.
The small claims court
- It costs nothing to use and no lawyer may appear. That is the point: both parties present their own case to a commissioner, who is a practising lawyer sitting voluntarily.
- There is a monetary limit, set by the Minister and revised from time to time. A claim above it must go to the magistrate’s court instead, and you cannot split a claim to fit.
- You must send a letter of demand first, giving the other side fourteen days to pay, and produce proof that you sent it. Skipping this step gets the matter struck off.
- Bring every document. The contract, the invoice, the messages, the photographs. The commissioner decides on what is produced on the day.
- The decision is final. There is no appeal from a small claims court on the merits, only a review on limited grounds, which is the trade-off for the speed and the cost.
Claims against the state, claims for defamation and matrimonial matters are excluded. The clerk of the small claims court will tell you whether your claim qualifies before you file.
Complaints and escalation
If a first call does not resolve the matter, escalate through the business’s own management first, in writing. Unresolved motor complaints go to the Motor Industry Ombudsman of South Africa on 010 590 8378, free of charge, and it covers new and used vehicles, servicing, repairs and fitment alike.
Keep a short written log of each contact: the date, the channel you used, the name of the agent and the reference number. Most motor industry complaint processes ask for exactly that history, and having it ready is usually the difference between a fast resolution and starting over.
Avoiding fake Combined Motor Holdings contact numbers
Contact details for well known South African brands are a common target for impersonation. Numbers that look official appear in search ads, social media replies and cloned websites, and the person answering is not Combined Motor Holdings.
- Reach Combined Motor Holdings through the official site at cmh.co.za rather than through a number in a search advert or a social media reply.
- Combined Motor Holdings will never ask you for your full card number, PIN, CVV, online banking password or a one time PIN. Nobody legitimate needs those to help you.
- Treat any caller who creates urgency, asks you to install remote access software, or asks you to move money to a safe account as fraudulent, and end the call.
- If you are unsure whether a call was genuine, hang up and dial the official number yourself rather than calling back a number the caller gave you.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Combined Motor Holdings contact number?
The routes are listed in the table above, with what each one is for. The main route is [email protected]. Confirm it on cmh.co.za before relying on it, since numbers are changed from time to time.
How do I know a Combined Motor Holdings number is genuine?
Check it against the official site at cmh.co.za. A number that only appears in a search advert, a social media reply or a third-party directory should not be trusted for anything involving your account, your money or your identity document.
What should I do if nobody resolves my query?
Ask for the complaint reference and the escalation path on your first call, then follow the escalation route described above. Keep the dates, agent names and reference numbers, because every formal complaint process will ask for them.
Can ContactDetails.co.za resolve this for me?
No. We are an independent directory, not Combined Motor Holdings, and we have no access to your account. Everything here is a routing aid so that you reach the correct official channel with the right information in hand.
Is there a cost to calling these numbers?
South African 0860 and 0861 numbers are charged at a share-call or standard rate depending on your provider, and 0800 numbers are toll free from a landline. Calls from a mobile are billed at your own operator’s rate, so check your plan if cost matters.
