A powerhouse CV dealer partner in the Visayas
As one of the four pioneer dealerships of HARI, HCI has built its name on a rock-solid foundation as an automotive provider. Prior to being appointed as an official dealer of HARI in 2002, it has already credited 20 years of experience in the auto industry to its name, which further gives credence to the dealership’s stalwart standing as a business mover in Cebu.
HCI’s growth within two decades as HARI’s official dealership is stellar, with glowing remarks in the sales and after-sales front. HCI was awarded three times as Dealer of the Year (2007, 2008, 2009) by HARI and was honored Asia-Pacific Dealer of the Year twice (2008, 2009) by Hyundai Motor Company.
Tough act to follow. When the going gets tough, you can trust these Hyundai trucks to keep on going.
