Autobot Offroad PH, the 4×4, off-road and overlanding specialist, formally launched its Autobot Service Center at the Auto Parts & Vehicles (APV) Expo last July 25 to 27 at the World Trade Center in Pasay City.
Autobot held a soft opening of their service center to coincide with their 16th anniversary on Aug. 10, 2023. Initially, the workshop was opened to accommodate the brake, suspension and tire service, oil change, quick repairs, and periodic maintenance service (PMS) requirements of their customers and owners of modified 4×4 rigs.
Because of the professionalism, dedication and technical expertise of the Autobot service advisers, mechanics and technicians, owners of other vehicles such as compact and midsize cars, vans and SUVs frequented the Autobot Service Center to have their vehicles maintained or repaired there.
As word of their service spread, Autobot Service Center signed an agreement with VinFast, the fast-rising Vietnamese electric vehicle (EV) brand, for it to become an official VinFast service center. Autobot now provides periodic maintenance service for VinFast models such as the VF3 3-door compact runabout, VF5 and VF6 5-door compact SUVs, VF7 and VF9 premium models. Autobot will also serve as the service workshop for the Green GSM ride-hailing/taxi app company, which fields VinFast VF e34 Nerio Green EVs to ferry passengers around Metro Manila.
To ensure reliable and optimum performance, Autobot Service Center partners with trusted brands such as Amsoil, Motul, Liqui Moly, Ravenol, Repsol and Zenium oil and lubricants; BF Goodrich and Michelin tires; and K&N filters. Autobot president and CEO Randy Lao stated, “Our automotive passion extends beyond vehicle modification and customization. While Autobot earned its reputation as the premier 4×4, off-road and overlanding shop in the country, we are working hard to ensure that Autobot Service Center earns its reputation as the most trustworthy, efficient and effective automotive workshop in the Philippines.”
He added, “We are thankful for the opportunity given by VinFast to demonstrate our service capabilities to their growing number of customers. By the grace of God, we plan to further expand our services soon.”
