A new era of aftermarket care for Stellantis brands owners in South Africa

Eurorepar, a new independent aftermarket brand of Stellantis, has launched in South Africa. Initially designed to cater to the needs of Stellantis (Opel, Peugeot, the Jeep® brand, Citroën, Abarth, Alfa Romeo and FIAT) owners whose vehicles have surpassed the initial warranty and service plan period, Eurorepar offers a comprehensive range of high-quality, cost-effective parts and services.

Price and availability of spare parts have the greatest impact on cost of ownership once a vehicle’s warranty and maintenance or service plan expires. These factors combined potentially force vehicle owners to seek more cost-effective solutions – invariably away from the original brand.

Genuine parts from the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) are what the vehicle was designed to use to a certain specification. But realising the customer reality for vehicles out of plan, Stellantis established a wholly owned subsidiary, Eurorepar to provide alternative, affordable, and approved parts at a fraction of the price of the original.

“Eurorepar South Africa saw a critical need to cater to vehicle owners who were no longer covered under warranty or service plans,” says Stellantis South Africa’s General Manager of After Sales, Russel Dewee. “By providing tailored support for these vehicles, backed by a reputation for reliability and excellence reflective of its association with Stellantis, Eurorepar South Africa is empowering customers with the confidence to maintain and repair their vehicles with OEM-quality, performance-focused aftermarket parts.”

Eurorepar supplies these quality parts directly for all the vehicles built across the 14 brands worldwide and the seven available in South Africa. By leveraging its global network, Stellantis, which is the third largest OEM in the world, can source alternative parts for all vehicles outside their initial warranty and service plans for at least half the price of the genuine OEM parts.

“Eurorepar provides motorists the peace of mind of OEM-supplied parts, maintaining the integrity of their vehicle while combatting costs of ownership,” says Dewee. “This principle allows Stellantis to continue looking after customers for longer than the initial warranty period, adding value into the customer experience.”

“These are the parts you would typically need to service and maintain the vehicle during its lifespan,” explains Dewee. “We have everything from filters to brake pads, glow plugs, spark plugs, water pumps, oils, batteries; anything that needs servicing or replacing.

Eurorepar doesn’t only support Stellantis brands, their approved parts also being available for other makes of vehicles, supported by the same guarantees around price, quality and accessibility. These are all conveniently supplied through any Stellantis dealership.

“We started out on a journey to support our own customers with our own brands and keep them in the family,” says Dewee. “Eurorepar offers a robust selection of high-quality parts and services designed to meet the needs of a diverse clientele. This extends beyond Stellantis’ vehicles, ensuring that independent workshops can confidently service and repair various car makes with the support of the Eurorepar program.”
