The integration of brands and on-going dealer network expansion continues at Stellantis South Africa.
The latest addition is expanded facilities for the sales and service of Jeep, Fiat, and Fiat Professional in Richards Bay, KwaZulu-Natal.

Founded in 1995 with a single dealership in Sandton, Johannesburg, Fury Motor Group has grown quickly across brands, building confidence for customers around the country. The group first expanded into KZN in 2007 and now forms part of the Hatfield Motor Group.
“We believe the current mix of dealers in the KZN region continues to bolster our customer experience in our constant drive for improved customer satisfaction,” said Leslie Ramsoomar, Managing Director of Stellantis South Africa.
“Fury Motor Group is well-established and trusted amongst our customers. We look forward to providing our customers in Richards Bay even more convenience through Fury.”
Leading the team at Fury Richards Bay is Dealer Principal, Greg Massey-Hicks.
“Our constant drive to improve and grow is as much a Fury business value as it is a customer philosophy for us in Richards Bay,” says Massey-Hicks.
“We are proud of the hard work we put into building solid customer relationships. Offering benchmark service levels comes with a great responsibility. That’s why we work so hard to uphold the four core components of what makes Fury Motor Group’s service the best in the industry: our people, our brand, our ethics and the community around us.”
Fury Richards Bay is open to handle Opel, Fiat, Fiat Professional, and Jeep customers. Comfortable waiting areas, complimentary WiFi and refreshments all await customers at 23, 25 Alumina Allee Street, Alton, Richards Bay.
