Isuzu Philippines Corporation (IPC) virtually concluded its 16th Isuzu Service Skills Olympics (ISSO) through an official awards ceremony last June 11, 2021. ISSO tests the knowledge and skills of service technicians, service advisors, and parts staff coming from Isuzu dealerships nationwide.
“It is very unfortunate that we cannot do our usual ISSO face to face. However, this year, we strive for excellence as we intend to continue to improve the technical skills capabilities of all aftersales staff and personnel,” said Mr. Wataru Miyamoto, IPC’s Vice President for Aftersales. “This pandemic caused a major disruption to our business. Please allow me to express my sincere appreciation to our dealers for all your continuous support to our ongoing aftersales programs despite these trying times,” he added, addressing the dealer participants.
IPC President Hajime Koso was also in attendance and congratulated the group not just for a successful ISSO run but also for the back-to-back achievement of a Triple Star Rating in the annual aftersales performance evaluation of Isuzu Motors Limited (IML). “Only 5 out of 33 countries worldwide received the esteemed rating. Being 1 of the 5 to receive the award proved that all the aftersales activities of the Philippines are of high caliber and top of the class in Isuzu network’s standard around the world. This will not be made possible without the efforts and cooperation of our dealers,” he said.
