GAC Valenzuela, one of the newest dealerships in Astara Philippines’ 30-strong dealer network, hosted today the GAC Hangout, a joint eyeball event participated in by Emzoom Club Philippines and GAC Empow Pilipinas. The event also featured the launch of the GAC Smart Watch and an all-day customer friendly service program which included a free 21-point check-up and discounts on parts and periodic maintenance service.
“We’re very happy to be co-hosting the GAC Hangout with ADOT Motors, our dealer partner here at GAC Valenzuela,” said Ryan Bermudez, GAC Brand Head. “Being one of the newer GAC dealerships to open it doors to the public, GAC Valenzuela’s facility is fitted with the newest GAC specific service equipment and follows the latest corporate identity standards for our brand. It’s the perfect venue for an event such as this. It’s bright, spacious, inviting, and most importantly, its staff is eager to be of service to our valued customers.”
Staging customer-centric events currently sits high on the priorities of Astara Philippines. “We acknowledge that without our customers, we would not be where we are today,” continued Bermudez. “Spending time with them and getting to know them and their concerns will allow us to get a better grip on what we should be prioritizing – which is their continued satisfaction and loyalty. This is one of the reasons why we also grabbed the opportunity to launch the GAC Smart Watch, which is a great new gadget that pushes the envelope where technological interfacing for our line-up of fantastic cars is concerned.”

The GAC Smart Watch gives its user access to basic time/date/calendar functions even as it measures/records one’s basic health functions like heart rate, oxygen level, calorie count, etc. On top of this, it doubles as a smart key for several GAC vehicles – allowing the user to lock and unlock doors, open a car’s tailgate, lower and raise windows, and even start a car’s engine remotely. Quite simply, the GAC Smart Watch takes customer convenience to the next level – because at GAC is where craft meets technology.
“While it’s natural for any vehicle brand to be excited about new product launches, we at GAC find just as much joy in engaging our customers. Events like the GAC Hangout allow us to create lasting relationships with the people who matter to us most – our valued clients. Yes, we will launch new technological upgrades like the GAC Smart Watch. Yes, we will be launching some fantastic new vehicles soon. But all of these are just pieces of a much bigger puzzle. Because at Astara, our values include sustained human to human approach… And at the center of all that is our commitment to a satisfying and memorable ownership experience for our customers,” ended Bermudez.
