The used car group, Cubbi, has officially opened the doors of its new flagship megastore in Germiston, a site with more than 300 vehicles ranging from entry-level hatchbacks to premium SUVs.
The Germiston facility marks Cubbi’s biggest physical investment to date, designed to streamline the buying experience of customers with on-site support, test drives and digital tools that simplify the search and purchase process.
More news on the Cubbi front is that the group also opened a new dealership in George in the Western Cape with a stocking capacity of 90 vehicles, expanding its footprint beyond Gauteng.
With a strong focus on convenience, transparency and competitive pricing, according to Cubbi, it is rapidly becoming a go-to destination for used car buyers across Gauteng. The new Germiston store serves key areas within a 30km radius, including Boksburg, Bedfordview, Kempton Park, Midrand South and further afield.
For the rest, apart from its exclusive online platform for dealer auctions, it also has Cubbi Pods (https://www.cubbicars.co.za/our-locations) small offices spread across Gauteng where customers can enquire about selling vehicles and find out what is available in Cubbi’s portfolio.
