Gingco also explained that HCMI is the first Honda dealership to employ a video messaging app that enables customers to be updated on the status of their vehicles while being repaired or undergoing preventive maintenance services.
In addition, HCMI will pioneer a project wherein a tree would be planted for every Honda car sold. Eventually, this will be implemented in other AC Motors’ automobile brands.

AC Motors Centrale also houses one of Europe’s top motorcycle brands. Known for its go-anywhere prowess and pure street performance, KTM’s flagship store can be found, featuring the latest models and a complete aftersales and service experience.
Husqvarna also shares the floor, with models featuring progressive and refined designs with chassis shared with KTM. KTM BGC is the number one dealer for the Orange brand in the country, with the distributor, Adventure Cycle Philippines, Inc. (ACPI) being the leading exporter and manufacturer of both KTM and Husqvarna in the region.
AC Motors Centrale is located at 932 28th Street corner 9th Avenue in Bonifacio Global City (BGC), and they are open from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM daily to serve their customers. Appointments for any of the brands carried by the dealership can be done by calling (02) 8558-5888, or by logging on to acmotors.com.ph.
Coming up with ways to consolidate resources in the interest of ease and convenience is always good for customers. Those who find themselves walking into AC Motors Centrale are definitely in for a treat as far as those are concerned. To bring brands closer to consumers, AC Motors Centrale highlights not only each brand’s strengths and product rosters, but will also be a showcase for AC Motors’ new ventures.
There are also different payment schemes that customers can take advantage of only at AC Motors Centrale. From normal cash and installment sales, vehicle trade-ins, as well as a used car program, are some of the efforts that AC Motors has in store for those who shop at Centrale. How’s that for convenience?
If only the concept of AC Motors Centrale would catch on, perhaps we will see more dealerships of this kind put up in the future. For now, AC Motors Centrale can be proud of being the “first of its kind” dealership. Now, the question is where the next branch will pop up next.
