Interview
Gijs Hartog; Max-Tender
What do you do when you want to safely pick up a beautiful car from Germany without it costing you time and miles? Then you call us. Just like Gijs did. In this interview he explains why he called in MAX-Tender to have his car transported from abroad to his home in the Netherlands.
No stranger
MAX-Tender is no stranger to Gus. "Through my son I got to know the gentlemen of MAX-Tender. My son makes videos for the company and I went with him several times to see how that's done. Here I saw for myself how the cars are handled. It is a professional company that treats cars as I would treat them myself. For me, that's an important point."
Eye for detail
When asked what that manners are like, Gijs answers the following. "First, the people from MAX-Tender arrive in neat business attire, which gives a good first impression. Second, they are knowledgeable. Not only do they work with good equipment, they also work with gloves on. The latter may sound remarkable, but let me give a reason why this is relevant. Many exclusive cars have alcantara steering wheels, and that material cannot withstand grease and acids from hands. The more people put their hands on that, the sooner it wears out and gets ugly. They know that and so they take measures to prevent that.
Furthermore, the car is neatly secured. Because of the way they secure the car and tighten the straps, you can be sure that no damage will occur."
"The car had very few miles on the odometer and I wanted to keep it that way."
No unnecessary mileage
That Gijs preferred not to pick up his car himself had mainly to do with the mileage. "I had my car picked up in southern Germany and delivered to my home. The car had few miles on the odometer and I wanted to keep it that way, so driving from Munich to the Netherlands was not an option for me. During the transport I was kept up to date as agreed. That means that I received a message at the time of departure that they had left for the pickup location, as well as at the time of loading and the time of transport to the Netherlands. By the way, that was via Whatsapp, which I liked.
Once home, MAX-Tender filmed the car as it came off the transport. After this, the driver and I walked around the car together to check that everything was as it should be, after which I signed a good receipt document."
Impatience is a fine thing
The cooperation was satisfactory. "I highly recommend MAX-Tender and that is purely because of the way they handled the car and me. I am really not the easiest when it comes to my car. By the way, at first I wanted to have the car transported with a combined transport, but I couldn't wait so I arranged it this way. I am very satisfied."
