Photo: Full Stop Communications<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Kelston Motor Group has continued its journey of investment in the Eastern Cape economy with the establishment of a Chery dealership in Komani.<\/p>\n<p>The operation opened on August 1 at 4 Woodfield Street to bring the group\u2019s number of dealerships to 21 across the Eastern Province and Border regions.<\/p>\n<p>Group operations director Peter McNaughton said the latest expansion was in line with the company\u2019s vision to support the local economy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe made a conscious decision some time ago to focus the company\u2019s growth in the Eastern Cape. This region is our home and we believe it is important to invest, grow and build within the province.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said it would be the sixth brand represented by Kelston in Komani and that the group had made substantial investments at all of these sites, which indicated its long-term belief in the town and its economy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis region faces the same challenges as many others in the country but it is represented by a number of energetic, positive and passionate businesspeople and entrepreneurs. We feel privileged to be part of that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McNaughton added that they were confident of achieving their goals after establishing successful Chery operations in Gqeberha and East London.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe believe the brand will provide an excellent alternative for our customers in Komani. We have a solid base here as a group and believe we can support the brand in growing to its full potential.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McNaughton, who oversees the group\u2019s dealerships in the passenger, light commercial and luxury vehicle markets across the Eastern Cape, said the company felt the brand was well-suited to the area.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs an SUV product it fits the lifestyle of the customer in Komani and surrounds,\u201d he said. \u201cIn addition, the 10-year or one-million-kilometre engine warranty is a major selling point.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe range carries a standard service plan of five years or 60 000km, which can be upgraded to a maintenance plan for a nominal fee. In addition, the vehicle bodies are fully galvanised and have a standard manufacture warranty of five years or 150 000km.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McNaughton believed the brand offered great value for money.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIts technology, safety and performance are things one can only truly experience by spending time in the vehicle and I encourage the public to visit Tunga Mushakwe and his team at Kelston Chery Komani.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added that Chery had sold 1 262 units in South Africa in July, placing it eighth in terms of passenger volume.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s not bad for a brand which has been operational for less than a year with only three models, with more launches to come.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He believed Mushakwe, the sales manager, was ideally qualified to run the dealership.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTunga recently spent some time with us in Gqeberha learning the various systems and I could see his excitement for the brand build the more time he spent with the team and the vehicles.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe is a Komani local and has run a business in the town after being involved with Kelston on another brand. He has a great understanding of the local market and I am glad we were able to join hands with him in this venture.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McNaughton said the dealership would have access to all used vehicles within the Kelston Motor Group, which was in excess of 400 units.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven though these are not on the floor, technology makes it possible for customers to have all the necessary information to make their decisions. The unit is then shipped to the dealership by our own fleet of car carriers for final inspection.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mypr.co.za\/contact\/featured\/\">CLICK HERE to submit your press release to MyPR.co.za<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p> <span class=\"post-views-icon dashicons dashicons-chart-bar\"><\/span> <span class=\"post-views-label\">Press Release Views since 1 July 2022:<\/span> <span class=\"post-views-count\">101<\/span> <\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-pagination pagination\">Pages: <span class=\"post-page-numbers current\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>1<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\/chery-dealership-another-big-investment-in-ec-economy\/2\/\" class=\"post-page-numbers\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>2<\/a><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\">Source: MyPR.co.za<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Republish for Free Republish This Story Republish our articles for free, online or in print, under a Creative Commons license.
