Subaru Southern Africa has announced new additions to their growing dealer network, enhancing convenience and support for the Subaru community.
Starting 1 November, Subaru Bellville will open its doors, serving as a central hub for Subaru sales, service and parts in the Cape Town area.
Located in the heart of Bellville, near the Tyger Valley Shopping Centre, Bellville Golf Club and Tygerberg Nature Reserve, the new dealership offers a more accessible option for Subaru drivers in the northern suburbs.
Subaru Bellville steps in as Subaru Plumstead closes at the end of October, ensuring a seamless transition for their customers and Subaru says it will continue providing the exceptional care customers expect from them.
Subaru is also opening a new Subaru service centre in Windhoek, Namibia’s capital. Expected to open on the 1st of November 2024, this facility will offer top-notch Subaru servicing, repairs and parts availability for our customers in Namibia and the surrounding areas.
Subaru says the new centre strengthens their commitment to serving Subaru owners across South Africa and neighbouring countries.
“I am an electric vehicle convert, and it took me two years to secure the franchise rights of the EV brand I most admire and have been driving for some time, BYD,” says Marius du Toit, Managing Director of the 4Wheels Motor Group, which has several other dealerships of different brands in its portfolio.
We are ready to take the Audi nameplate to new heights in the province through Audi Centre Polokwane, the new flagship dealer in this region.
Geely Auto South Africa is preparing to take its rightful place in the local automotive market, with 33 dealerships already operating within a month after the Chinese auto giant’s return to the country.
