The threat of the COVID-19 pandemic may have pushed many businesses to lay low or shut down, but there are agile companies who have found new opportunities in these tough and trying times and set to expand their businesses and catering to the new demands of Filipino consumers amidst the negative effects of the pandemic. Among them that has surprisingly found new support and reach is Value Plus Auto Service Express (VPX), the franchising brand of Value Plus Auto Services Philippines Inc.
Headed by its General Manager Mark Saberola, the local after-market automotive service is revving up for a stronger 2021 and started the new year right with the recent awarding of the VPX franchise to Jandusay & Sons in Batangas City last January 15, 2021. Through the said awarding, the family company will handle operations of VPX's new 300 square meter branch located along Batangas-Tabangao-Lobo Road in Barangay Libjo which is slated to be opened by the second quarter of the year; thus, becoming the second franchised branch in South Luzon.
The family had a keen interest in automotive repair and they believed that VPX was the perfect pick for their first venture into the said field. Despite the challenges set by the pandemic, the Jandusay family was determined to pursue it. As localized lockdowns becoming part of the "new normal" and restrictions on city-wide transport being imposed, the family anticipated the rise of car ownership during the pandemic and believed that they could provide the automotive repair services needed by these drivers. According to Saberola, around 5.5 million cars are no longer covered by their manufacturer's warranty; thus, car owners are seeking trusted auto repair service providers for their vehicles' needs which is why ValuePlus positions itself as the case alternative.
Aside from the Batangas City branch, VPX is also slated to open three other new branches within the year where two of them are in Metro Manila. Founded on a sound business model, the VPX franchise is highly regarded as one of the most competitive in the industry and is proven to be crisis-proof. With their newly introduced Starter Package ranging from Php3.5-4.5 million, franchises can expect to have their own auto repair shop and service center up and running in 2-3 months time and with ValuePlus guiding them in every step of the way.
