Volvo Car South Africa (VCSA) has opened two new facilities after the restructuring process of its dealer network.
The two new facilities are located in Gqeberha in the Eastern Cape and Mbombela in Mpumalanga.
Tom Campher Volvo Cars Gqeberha provides full sales and service support to the Eastern Cape, including a dedicated multi-car transporter for convenient vehicle collection and delivery. In Mpumalanga, Produkta Volvo Cars Mbombela provides comprehensive after-sales support, ensuring Volvo owners have access to premium care and maintenance close to home.
In Gqeberha, Volvo has partnered with Tom Campher Motors, a family-run business that has been synonymous with the Swedish automaker for over five decades. Located in the William Moffett Retail Park, Tom Campher Volvo Cars Gqeberha is easily accessible for Volvo customers.
The dealership operates as a full-service centre supporting customers throughout Gqeberha (formerly Port Elizabeth), East London, George, Plettenberg Bay, Port Alfred and surrounding areas. A dedicated multi-car transporter ensures convenient collection and delivery for vehicles requiring service.
“Volvo has been part of our family’s story for decades, and we’re proud to bring their renowned standards to the Eastern Cape,” commented Vic Campher, Managing Director of Tom Campher Motors. “Our team is committed to ensuring every Volvo owner in this region feels fully supported.”
In Mpumalanga, Produkta Volvo Cars Mbombela offers service support, providing Volvo owners throughout the province with expert maintenance, repairs and care. “We understand how important it is for our customers to have access to convenient, premium support close to home,” said Grant Locke, Managing Director of VCSA.
“These new facilities in Gqeberha and Mbombela reflect our commitment to strengthening our presence in South Africa, and we will continue to look at opportunities to grow our dealer network,” he says.
Volvo says that through these dealerships and service points, VCSA continues to expand its footprint and provide customers with a premium, end-to-end ownership experience across sales and after-sales.
Frustration with vehicle licensing offices owing to a lack of service delivery is nothing new, but in the Vaal Triangle it boiled over, especially for car dealerships whose business relies on vehicle registrations.
The National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa (Numsa) and the Automobile Manufacturers Employers Organisation (AMEO) remain locked in tense wage negotiations that could soon lead to a strike across South Africa’s major vehicle assembly plants.
The South African automotive industry has the potential to drive a new wave of industrialisation, one that is urgently needed in the country.

I always do like seeing other people dance in their cars. It's one of the things that makes me happy.

Frustration with vehicle licensing offices owing to a lack of service delivery is nothing new, but in the Vaal Triangle it boiled over, especially for car dealerships whose business relies on vehicle registrations.
The Chinese automotive company, the Harmony Motor Group, which originally focused on luxury and ultra-luxury car dealerships, has shifted a gear with the overseas distribution of Chinese new-energy vehicles, particularly BYD.
The name tells the story – Basadi Automotive Group. Basadi, the Sesotho word for women, was chosen by a woman who, against all odds but with an unwavering belief in God, decided in 2018 or so to go it alone in the male-dominated automotive industry.
