Stellantis South Africa announced the opening of the new Bidvest McCarthy Centurion dealership reinforcing its brand house network and expanding access to key automotive brands across the Gauteng Province.
The multi-franchise facility offers customers a modern retail experience that brings Citroën, FIAT, Jeep, Opel, Peugeot, and the new Leapmotor closer to the Centurion community.
This expansion strengthens Stellantis’ dealer representation across Pretoria and supports the company’s ambitious growth plans as one of the largest importers in the South African automotive sector.
“We’re excited to welcome McCarthy Centurion to our network,” says Mike Whitfield, Managing Director of Stellantis South Africa. “This partnership supports our growth plans and ensures world-class mobility solutions are more accessible to customers in Gauteng.”

Bidvest Automotive is one of South Africa's established motor retailers, operating 85 original equipment manufacturers-franchised dealerships (OEMs), 82 in South Africa and three in Namibia, and servicing more than 500 000 vehicles annually.
Leading the team at Bidvest McCarthy Centurion is Dealer Manager Juan van Dyk. “Bidvest McCarthy Centurion is proud to join the Stellantis network, a global leader in innovation and automotive excellence.
“Our team brings proven experience, demonstrated through multiple Dealer of the Year awards, and remains committed to delivering premium service and customer satisfaction. We look forward to offering a broader range of world-class vehicles and creating outstanding experiences for our customers,” he says.
The new facility is located at Corner Lenchen & Old Johannesburg Road, Centurion.

Dealership service departments know the pattern: the moment warranties and service plans expire; a portion of owners quietly migrate to the independent aftermarket.
Mercedes-Benz Vans South Africa announced its top-performing Agents and Dealers for 2025, recognising their exceptional dedication, customer service and commitment to the brand.
In today’s automotive retail environment, where new vehicle prices keep climbing beyond the reach of many consumers, used vehicles have become the backbone of dealership profitability.
