Kia Philippines has expanded its presence in the Visayas with the official inauguration of its new Kia Bohol 3S dealership in Tagbilaran City. The achievement reinforces the brand’s efforts to bring its products and aftersales services closer to customers in the region.
Operated in partnership with Strong Motocentrum, Inc., the new facility combines Sales, Service, and Spare Parts under one roof, offering Boholano motorists a more convenient ownership experience. Kia Philippines said the dealership is strategically located in Tagbilaran City, the province’s growing economic hub, making it easier for customers to access the brand’s latest vehicles and aftersales support.
The dealership follows Kia’s latest global Store Image Standards, creating a modern showroom environment where customers can browse the brand’s lineup and learn more about its mobility solutions.
According to Kia Philippines Managing Director Jay Lopez, the new dealership represents another step in the company’s goal of expanding access to its vehicles and services across the Visayas. Lopez added that the partnership with Strong Motocentrum, Inc. aims to provide Bohol customers with a facility focused on innovation and dependable customer care while delivering the same global Kia standards found in other markets.
The relocated Kia Bohol dealership features a 364 sqm showroom capable of displaying up to seven vehicles simultaneously, allowing prospective buyers to explore Kia’s latest models in a spacious setting. Supporting the showroom is a 275 sqm service facility equipped with two vehicle lifters and staffed by Kia-certified technicians. The service center is designed to handle routine maintenance and repair work while providing customers with professional aftersales support.
Located at 0657 C.P.G. North Avenue in Barangay Tagbilaran City, the dealership is open from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday. Customers may visit the showroom to view Kia’s latest models, schedule test drives, or book vehicle servicing.
The opening of Kia Bohol also increases Kia Philippines’ nationwide dealer network, which now consists of 38 dealerships operating under ACMobility as the company continues expanding its footprint across the country.
Autocar’s Take
Kia Philippines’ continued dealership expansion is just as important as launching new models. A growing lineup means little if customers don’t have reliable access to sales and aftersales support, especially outside Metro Manila. The new Kia Bohol 3S dealership addresses that need by bringing a complete ownership experience closer to motorists in the Visayas. As more Filipinos consider modern crossovers, hybrids, and EVs, a strong dealership network will play a bigger role in building buyer confidence. Expanding facilities like Kia Bohol shows that long-term customer support remains a key part of Kia Philippines’ growth strategy.
