Bermaz takes over Mazda C5 Pasig

Bermaz Auto Asia Inc. has assumed the operations of Mazda C5 Pasig following the end of the dealership agreement between Mazda Philippines and Inchcape Philippines on 31 July.

The change took effect on 1 August, placing the Pasig dealership under a company associated with Bermaz Auto Philippines Inc., the exclusive distributor of Mazda vehicles in the country.

“This marks a new chapter for Mazda in the Philippines and Bermaz Auto Asia, Inc. as we continue investing in the Mazda brand, its people, and most importantly, its customers,” Mazda Philippines president and CEO Steven Tan said.

Tan said the appointment renews the brand’s commitment to customer care through personalized service and stronger relationships with Mazda owners.

Bermaz Auto Asia has operated an automotive dealership in Santa Rosa, Laguna, since 2019. Its appointment to run Mazda C5 Pasig expands its dealership business into Metro Manila through a separate leadership team headed by dealer principal Ronette Tanjuatco.

Several members of the dealership’s sales and aftersales staff will continue under the new management. Mazda said their experience and existing relationships with customers will help maintain service continuity during the transition.

Mazda C5 Pasig occupies a 2,343-square-meter property at the corner of E. Rodriguez Jr. Avenue and Carlos J. Caparas Street in Barangay Ugong, Pasig City.

The facility can display up to six vehicles and has six service bays for preventive maintenance, general repairs and other aftersales work.

It was the first Mazda dealership in the Philippines to adopt the brand’s Japanese Premium retail concept, which uses natural materials and lighting. Architect Ted Ramos designed the facility with inspiration from Mazda Takadanobaba in Shinjuku, Tokyo. Ramos also designed the Mazda Center of Excellence in Cabuyao, Laguna.

The dealership traces its roots to Mazda Greenhills, which opened under CATS Motors in August 2004. It transferred to its current C5 Pasig location under Inchcape Philippines in August 2023.

Mazda C5 Pasig joins Mazda Makati, Mazda Quezon Avenue and Mazda Alabang in serving customers across Metro Manila.

Its sales department is open daily from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., while service operations run from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
