Value Plus Auto Service Express (VPX), the franchising brand of Value Plus Auto Services Philippines Inc., goes ahead with its latest franchise expansion in Batangas City, with high aspirations for the rest of the year as the economy recovers from the epidemic.
VPX is an aftermarket auto service that was founded in 2013 with the goal of assisting millions of people around the metro with their automobile difficulties. VPX officially welcomes Jandusay and Sons, its newest ValuePlus franchisee-partners, to its family with the official launch of VPX Batangas City.
Brothers John Alvin Jandusay and Jet Martel Jandusay, along with their father Hanniel, had first started thinking about putting up a business in 2018 and came across Value Plus online. “We were considering several different types of businesses. But we got to thinking, ‘Why should we go for the common? Let’s be different!” shares John Alvin, the 24-year-old branch manager of VPX Batangas City.As car enthusiasts themselves, the family decided to partner with VPX and franchise their own“casa alternative.”
With the opening of VPX Batangas City, last May 26, 2021, ValuePlus now has 4 branches in its franchising program, two of which are in Metro Manila.
The VPX franchise is one of the most competitive businesses in the industry, shares VPX General Manager Mark Saberola. “ValuePlus is founded on a sound business model that’s been proven to be crisis-proof. Despite the pandemic, all our branches have thrived.With our newly introduced Starter Package, ranging from P4.5M-P7M, franchisees can have their very own auto repair shop up and running in 2 to 3 months’ time. We assure our partners that ValuePlus will guide them every step of the way,” he adds.
The newly built facility is equipped with state-of-the-art Wheel Alignment system from Hunter Engineering, Lifters, Computer scanner and operates with a world-class shop management system from Canada.
The family-owned VPX Batangas City branch, located along Batangas-Tabangao-Lobo Road in Barangay Libjo, officially opened its 300-sqm repair shopthis second quarter and is ready to cater to the needs of drivers in this part of South Luzon. VPX Batangas City enters the market at the most opportune time, with more Filipinos relying on private transportation to stay safe from COVID-19.
To date, according to Saberola, around 3.5 million cars are no longer covered by their manufacturer’s warranty. And thus, car owners seek trusted auto repair service providers for their vehicles’ needs. “While there may be many other auto repair shop franchises, the unique advantage of ValuePlus is the quality of their work and the expertise of the personnel. From the managers to the technicians, they are all very professional and skilled. They know exactly how to fix your cars,” shares Jet.
Jandusay and Sons established full confidence in VPX as first-time franchisees, especially after being helped by management through multiple trainings to understand the fundamentals of the business. “The training was very thorough, and the management was very hands on during the training. All our questions and concerns were addressed, so now we’re more knowledgeable about the workflow,” says Jet. “You can’t learn a business in just 30 days, but with the help of VPX management, we felt more secure and confident. Partnering up with them was definitely the best decision!”
Batangueños come out in full support of the opening of the first “Casa Alternative” in the city with local government officials and eminent members of the community throwing their weights behind this new venture.
“Though we are an almost decade-old brand and our systems are well-established, we still work closely with our franchisees to ensure that we provide the direction and assistance they need in building up their business,” says Saberola. “We want to help them achieve their dream; their success is our success, too.” Saberola encourages other entrepreneurs who have long desired to establish their own business to look into franchising programs like theirs.
