Officially announced through a signing ceremony, this milestone signifies a critical progress in supporting the Philippines’ transition to sustainable mobility and establishing Bosch Car Service as the nation’s premier independent EV service network.
With comprehensive service offerings ranging from basic preventive maintenance to advanced high-voltage (HV) battery diagnostics and repair, BCS Philippines sets a new standard of technical excellence within the IAM sector. This development addresses a critical need in the market by providing reliable, trustworthy, and accessible EV servicing options for Filipino consumers and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).
“As the country continues to embrace electric and hybrid vehicles, dependable servicing becomes a non-negotiable part of the journey,” said BCS general manager Geronimo Campilan. “Through this pioneering joint development, ACMobility and BCS are expanding access to reliable, expert EV care that supports the growing mobility needs of Filipinos. Together, we are building a stronger, future-ready after-sales ecosystem that gives EV owners greater confidence, convenience, and support throughout their ownership journey.”
Shaping the country’s EV aftersales landscape
As the first IAM workshop authorized to perform complex maintenance and repair on electric and hybrid vehicles, BCS Philippines aims to play a pivotal role in shaping the country’s EV after-sales landscape. Its focus spans three key areas:

Beyond the advanced tools and technology, we are equipping our workshops and technicians with the skills and confidence to stay competitive and future-ready as the EV market grows.”
