Changan South Africa envisaged the enhanced service to its dealers and the repair network through the opening of a dedicated parts warehouse in Kempton Park.
The new facility marks a major advancement in ensuring the availability of genuine components for workshops, dealerships and independent repairers nationwide.
Covering a floor area of 7 500m² with an eaves height of 12.5 metres, the Pomona warehouse meets stringent global logistics standards, designed to streamline the distribution of parts and reduce lead times for repairs. The facility handles a comprehensive range of authentic Changan components for all models sold locally.
Every item supplied through the warehouse has been engineered and tested to the manufacturer’s exacting global standards. This approach provides reassurance to technicians and workshop managers who rely on genuine parts to maintain vehicle reliability, safety and warranty compliance.
“Peace of mind starts with knowing your vehicle is cared for the right way, not just in the short term but for years to come,” says Marinus Venter, Country Manager at Jameel SA. “With genuine parts and a warehouse that’s ready to serve the entire country, we’re giving our customers exactly that – confidence for every journey.”
Changan’s partnership with DP World, an international logistics specialist, ensures that stock movement and delivery remain efficient and traceable. The collaboration also supports the wider repair industry by improving parts accessibility and minimising downtime in workshops.
