Stellantis dealers meet the highest standards, providing customers with an unparalleled sales and aftersales experience. “We’re excited to be expanding our relationship with the Bidvest McCarthy. This partnership not only broadens our reach but also enhances our ability to offer exceptional service to our customers,” says Mike Whitfield, Managing Director of Stellantis South Africa.
“By bringing the Opel, Peugeot and Citroën brands closer to our customers in Mpumalanga, we are making these outstanding brands and their products more accessible.”
