VANDERBIJLPARK. – Even when times were tough, the Star Motor Group never wavered in bravely tackling a new venture and developing it into a resounding success. The opening this month of a brand new FAW dealership in Vanderbijlpark once again shows the Group’s confidence in its own business capabilities and also their trust in the Vaal Triangle’s long term economic sustainability.

FAW SA, known for its hardy Chinese brand trucks, has been in South Africa for more than 28 years and has firmly entrenched itself in the local transport industry. Since 1994 it has grown from humble beginnings to today’s multimillion Rand undertaking.

With many years’ experience in the vehicle industry, Mathew Anderson is enthusiastically looking forward to his task as Dealer Principal of Star FAW in Vanderbijlpark.

“I have total confidence in the FAW brand as a world-class product. It is one of the best known and largest original equipment manufacturers in South Africa, as well as in Africa, with a large variety of ranges for almost every application. FAW Vehicle Manufacturers SA has already shown its commitment in offering vehicles that are engineered, developed and rigorously tested to meet the harsh conditions in South Africa and the rest of the continent. One of the first units sold in our country is still running and has clocked over 1,5 million kilometres – unmatched proof of the brand’s durability,” says Mathew.

A further plus is that pricing is competitive, without any compromise in quality.

“With FAW’s manufacturing plant in Coega in the Eastern Cape, South Africa serves as the hub, central to our fast growing local market and exports into Africa. FAW SA boasts an extensive dealer network, service centres with steady, reliable parts supplies, and highly trained personnel which is of huge benefit to our clients.”

Jointly, Mathew and his local team can boast more than 60 years’ experience in the trucking and general vehicle industry and have undergone intensive training on FAW’s products.

In addition to offering expert advice and the selling of trucks and parts, Star FAW Vanderbijlpark offers 24 hour assistance and repairs, as well as general servicing and maintenance of all brands of commercial trucks in their local workshop.

Whether you are in the market to buy a high quality truck or are a heavy vehicle enthusiast who would like to take a closer look, call Mathew and his team on 083 417 3896 or 068 104 1993, or pop in at Star FAW, 2 Rabie Street, Vanderbijlpark.
