VinFast adds JIGA to service partner network

MANILA: VinFast further boosted its service network in the Philippines by forging an alliance with MGA.414 Corporation (JIGA auto service chain operator).

The newest service partner will help the Hai-Phong-headquartered electric vehicle marque reach its goal of establishing over 100 service workshops nationwide by the end of 2025.

Based on the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), VinFast and JIGA will assign service centers that will act as the carmaker’s official service hubs that will accept repair, warranty, and maintenance assistance.

The aforementioned facilities shall meet VinFast’s standards for infrastructure, machinery, equipment, and workforce expertise and prioritize the provision of genuine services and spare parts for owners.

According to VinFast, the pact between the two firms “addresses the growing demand for electric vehicles among Filipino consumers” while reinforcing its long-term commitment and determination to drive green transformation in the country.

Further, VinFast will also provide personnel training programs, technical consultation, and knowledge-sharing initiatives to JIGA.

• Luzon (majority in the National Capital Region)
• Visayas (Iloilo, Bacolod, Roxas, Capiz, and Cebu)

 “The market for electric vehicles is expanding in the Philippines, and this collaboration with VinFast, a pioneering brand in the electric vehicle industry, is a step toward enhancing JIGA's service capabilities while also enabling us to support the sustainable development trend and offer Filipino consumers the best of the best services.
