The Giant came with the rust on the stanchions 4 years ago ( bought it off the hub from a guy in Pta) other rust is because they are left outside in the driveway all the time (rain or Shine) so the boys can always just ride them.

Garmin offer a worldwide warranty. If the unit is registered to you as first owner then it's origin is irrelevant. I've Been down this road with them. Your comment on the ad was uncalled for. Time to accept this and move on. Doesn't make you a bad Quagga

EDIT: I think that Avnic is no longer GarminSA and that Garmin opened a branch in JHB, hence Navworld can no longer do "repairs or replacements"

 

Edit 2; Avnic become Garmin SA.

 

This is the statement I was talking about and Garmin SA had a banner on their site at the time stating that Company X(Can not remember) was NOT official Garmin Dealers.

 

Garmin will warranty and international bought product, but not a product that was sold here as GRAY, as in an unofficial Garmin importer.

In a statement on grey imports AVNIC Trading, the official importers of GARMIN products have the following to say about the issue:

 

Warranty Policy – Garmin South Africa

Avnic have received a couple of slaps in the face recently from customers who have purchased units overseas which have gone faulty and have been supported by Avnic. We have picked up on GPS forums that it is being said that it is OK to purchase overseas and that Avnic are bound by an international warranty agreement to support Garmin product.

 

Avnic’s pricing does differ from wholesale internet sites in the USA for a number of reasons – one being the level of support that we offer customers who own a Garmin product. Should the unit go faulty in the first year then it is replaced with a brand new unit. The warranty on this unit is further extended by 1 year from the time it is replaced.

 

Furthermore, once out of warranty and for a fixed price, customers receive a brand new unit with a full year warranty.

 

Our current policy of supporting Grey imports is not only effecting sales through official local channels but it is also impacting on our support infrastructure as we are expected to provide warranty replacement and help line technical support to customers who have not bought into that level of support.

 

NEW WARRANTY POLICY

In future Avnic Trading CC will not support any Garmin product both technically and through our help lines where it has been imported into South Africa through a channel which is not one of Avnic’s official distribution channels.

 

We have got clarity from Garmin that they support our policy in South Africa as it is the same policies that are being utilised by other countries that are faced with the same problems.

 

WHY SHOULD CUSTOMERS BUY LOCALLY

1) Local ‘Swap Out’ warranty support

2) Access to Avnic help line

3) Products are loaded with Data pertinent to the area (ie American Base Maps with American units)

4) Local mapping included with mapping products

5) Support for local industry

Should any customer require support for a Garmin product imported through unofficial channels then we recommend that they contact to shop that sold it to them.
