Stellantis Korea signs MOU with GS Mvis for light maintenance services at Auto Oasis network

Stellantis Korea announced Monday it has signed a memorandum of understanding with GS Mvis, a mobility service company, to cooperate on light vehicle maintenance and parts supply. The agreement aims to make vehicle upkeep more convenient for Jeep and Peugeot customers by leveraging Auto Oasis, a nationwide maintenance network operated by GS Mvis.

Founded in 1994, GS Mvis operates more than 350 Auto Oasis service locations across the country. The company offers a range of mobility solutions, including vehicle maintenance and repair, electric vehicle charger operation and management, mobility platforms and automotive after-sales services.

The two companies have designated five Auto Oasis locations as cooperation hubs — in Gangneung in Gangwon Province, Guri in Gyeonggi Province, Ulsan, Cheongju in North Chungcheong Province and Cheonan in South Chungcheong Province — and will build a framework for light maintenance and parts supply for Jeep and Peugeot vehicles.

Specific branch locations are to be confirmed with a goal of launching services by year-end. The designated branches will offer routine light maintenance such as engine oil changes and brake pad replacements, allowing customers to manage their vehicles more conveniently close to home. The two companies also plan to explore expanding the cooperation to additional regions through further discussions.

The cooperation hubs will display Jeep and Peugeot brand identity markings so customers can easily identify participating service points. A supply and management system for genuine parts will also be established to give customers confidence in the services they receive.

Bang Sil, chief executive of Stellantis Korea, said the partnership grew out of a desire to let customers get simple inspections and consumable replacements done quickly at a nearby location. "We will work to broaden light maintenance touchpoints within customers' daily lives, alongside the specialized services at official service centers, so customers can choose the service that best suits their needs," Bang said.

Lee Bong-hee, chief executive of GS Mvis, said the company would draw on Auto Oasis's solid nationwide network and accumulated expertise in imported-car maintenance to become a trusted vehicle care partner for Jeep and Peugeot customers. "We will contribute to raising customer satisfaction for both brands through a systematic parts supply chain and consistent service quality," Lee said.

Meanwhile, Stellantis brands have been expanding their customer touchpoints on multiple fronts. Peugeot recently opened an official store on Naver and began selling its full lineup online — including the All-New 3008 and 5008 Smart Hybrid models as well as the 308 and 408 — while Jeep named actor Seol In-a as its new brand ambassador.
