Getting one’s first car is an important milestone in most people’s lives. Many car owners fondly remember which brand and model they first bought with their own hard-earned money.
At this certain point in their lives, having a car not only serves as a symbol of their success but also independence and freedom of mobility.
For the members of the four-year-old Geely Car Club Philippines, getting their first Geely vehicle and being able to go anywhere they want have always been a cause for celebration — a momentous event which they share every time they do meet-ups.
This year, that chance came in 3 December when they gathered at Abagan Ti Manila in Tagaytay City.
The event, called the G-Fest, was even made more memorable when the members and their families were joined by the head and several executives of Sojitz G Auto Philippines, the exclusive distributor of the Geely brand in the country.
“The G-Fest event was a celebration of satisfied owners of Geely who shared heartwarming stories as well as an early Christmas celebration. The G-Fest became a celebration and testament of the strong partnership between Geely Philippines and the GCCPH as SGAP executives led by their president and CEO Yugo Kiyofuji were in attendance,” said Elice Ocampo, head of GCCPH.
Believing in the brand
“You are the ones who first believed in our brand, loved it, and supported it ever since. As such, we are honored to be here to celebrate your anniversary. We feel as if we grew up together,” Kiyofuji said.
Geely Philippines, as a way of acknowledging the importance of the car club members’ unwavering support, shared how it could give back through the G-Serv+, a uniquely Geely after-sales service which includes a five-year/150,000 kilometer warranty, one-year roadside assistance, low-cost ownership, and an assured a five-star customer experience.
All brand-new Geely vehicles are covered with a warranty of 5 years or 150,000 km, whichever comes first. The owner is assured of repair or replacement of any proven manufacturer defect in any parts and components at no additional cost.
Moreover, upon the unit’s release, a free one-year membership in Geely’s 24/7 roadside assistance and other related services is automatically activated. Geely owners can also enjoy uniform pricing on parts and items across its nationwide network of dealers. Geely’s PMS is only required twice a year, making the brand one of the most affordable when it comes to maintenance.
“Geely after-sales is committed to putting our customers at the heart of everything we do. Their satisfaction is our top priority, and we strive to make every experience with G-SERV+ even better than the last,” promised Kiyofuji.
‘My Geely Story’
Another highlight of the G-Fest event was the “My Geely Story” where the participants shared their most cherished memories and experiences with their Geely units.
“Stories shared by Geely car owners not only touched hearts but also contributed to a meaningful fundraiser. The unique narratives painted a vivid picture of the diverse and incredible journeys of Geely owners, showing their love for the brand and its important role in their lives,” Ocampo said.
To reward their efforts, prizes were given to three of the best stories: First prize went to Stanley Bernardo for his “Love at first car”; 2nd prize to John Hans O. Caturas for his “Search for the perfect compact SUV”; and finally, 3rd prize to Louie Bejer for his “Travel memories with ‘Bronx.’”
The G-Fest added another beautiful chapter to the Geely story in the Philippines, reflecting the brand’s and car club’s strong relationship and commitment to continue fostering a sense of community and creating more opportunities for shared experiences.
As the journey continues, Geely Philippines promised to remain steadfast in its commitment to cultivating a strong community and is looking forward to creating more opportunities for Geely enthusiasts to connect and share their passion for the brand.
According to Ocampo, the G-Fest is not just about cars: “It is about the shared experiences, rapport, and the enduring spirit that makes it a momentous Geely Story for everyone present in the event.”
