The Chiongbian Group has been one of the pioneers of the Hyundai brand dating back to 2003. It was in 2016 when they opened the doors of Hyundai Naga in Maharlika Highway, Del Rosario and since then, has been eagerly serving Hyundai customers in the province of Camarines Sur.
“Our Naga City dealership has always had a spirit of being competitive. And so, they didn’t let this once in a lifetime opportunity slip away especially considering that it is a global contest. CXC also actually brought about challenge towards ourselves as a group, to apply and translate newly learned skills to our daily operations. This was truly a memorable experience that will help us not only reassess our abilities but also guarantee our customers that the same standards are applied in our Alabang, Las Piñas, San Pablo and Davao dealerships,” says Mr. William Chiongbian, their Chairman.
Whereas, the Laus Group, who also manages Hyundai Dagupan, Hyundai La Union and Hyundai Ilocos Norte, has been leading and expanding the brand’s reach in Northern Luzon since 2005. Their vast industry experience has propelled them to excel in delivering excellent owner satisfaction and retention. Hyundai Baliwag, established in 2008 and located in Doña Remedio, Trinidad in Bulacan, is a product of this with numerous awards for Aftersales Operations and Top Service, and Parts.
“We felt honored and happy when we received news that our very own Hyundai Baliwag received the highest award and bested other Hyundai dealerships in the region. Since day one, we have been working to maintain the culture of excellence and professionalism in our day-to-day dealings with our customers,” according to their Chairwoman, Ms. Lisset Laus-Velasco. “The past two years have been tough. But through the help of Hyundai Motor Philippines, as well as our hardworking team, we were able to give back and meet the expectations of our customers. Rest assured that we will strive to improve even more the way we do business through a more dynamic and personalized approach. This win is not just for Hyundai Laus Group, but for the Philippines’ dealer network as well.”
