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.
Fury Motor Group is expanding their existing facility on the North Coast already representing sales and service for Stellantis’ Opel brands. A revamp of their existing showroom along with a brand-new showroom planned for Stellantis brands will extend Fury’s offering to sales of the Jeep, Fiat, and Fiat Professional range.
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.
In the face of a shifting premium automotive market, Audi South Africa is also currently re-aligning its retail operations according to the new reality where the premium vehicle sector has contracted to nearly a third of its size compared to a decade ago, with 2024 marking the lowest level yet.
The Halfway Group has opened the doors to a brand-new Lexus dealership, located in Lynnwood, Pretoria, with Chris Jones as the Dealer Principal.
Stellantis has announced the expansion of its multi-franchise dealer network with the addition of the Fiat and Jeep brands to the existing CMH East Rand dealership in Boksburg, Gauteng.
