Share

ValuePlus Auto Services Philippines Inc., one of market leaders in the Philippines’ automotive repair franchise industry, has proudly announced the onboarding of its newest owner of its franchise brand VPX The Casa Alternative, Frankie Flores, a retired Overseas Filipino Worker (OFW).

The official signing ceremony was held recently at the ValuePlus headquarters in Quezon City, marking a pivotal step in the company’s expansion strategy.

A testament to the Filipino spirit of resilience and entrepreneurial fervor, Flores brings a unique story to the VPX family.

Having spent 17 fruitful years working in Singapore, Flores always held a dream of becoming a business owner upon his return to the Philippines.

With a vision of establishing a successful auto repair shop, he undertook a vocational course for automotive technicians, equipping himself with the necessary knowledge and skills for his dream venture.

“After an extensive research journey, I discovered VPX and was immediately drawn to their franchise model,” expressed Flores.

“The transparency and supportive approach that I received, particularly from the General Manager, Mark Saberola, made me feel confident about my decision. From our initial phone call to the signing of this agreement, the team has guided me meticulously. I’m truly excited to bring quality auto repair services to the San Pedro City community.”

Normann Chiu, President of ValuePlus, expressed his delight about the partnership.

“Welcoming Frankie to the VPX family is indeed a proud moment for us. His commitment and passion for the automotive industry align perfectly with our brand values. His story serves as an inspirational tale for many OFWs who aspire to invest in their home country. We are fully committed to supporting Frankie and other entrepreneurs in their journey to make a significant contribution to the Philippines’ auto service sector.”

General Manager Mark Saberola, who personally guided Flores through the franchise acquisition process, shared his thoughts.

“Frankie’s enthusiasm and dedication have been evident since our first interaction. His readiness to learn and adapt is truly commendable. At VPX, we firmly believe that a combination of hard work and passion breeds success, and Frankie epitomizes this belief. We’re thrilled to support him as he embarks on this entrepreneurial journey in San Pedro City.”

The partnership with Flores strengthens ValuePlus’ ongoing mission to provide high-quality, reliable auto service to communities across the Philippines.

It also reflects the brand’s dedication to creating lucrative entrepreneurial opportunities for Filipinos both domestically and internationally, reinforcing its reputation as a leading auto service franchise.
