After ten years of operation, Quezon province’s very first Suzuki 3S Shop has been given the “Way of Life” makeover and is ready to continue providing its customers the full lineup of Suzuki motorcycles backed by top-notch after-sales support. The 150m2 store is located at the National Highway, Gumaca Town proper, and is operated by Mariel Machineries, Inc.
Mariel currently caries one 3S Shop and 35 multi-brand stores with Suzuki products, most in Southern Luzon. For over 15 years, the company has been instrumental in spreading the Suzuki brand in the major towns of Quezon, Bondoc, and Camarines Sur.
The Suzuki 3S Shops offer patrons a one-stop shop experience wherein sales, spare parts, and services are available under one roof. Besides offering Suzuki’s motorcycles, the 3S shop features personnel that are raring to address customer questions; modern facilities that are set for any repairs; genuine spare parts that are readily available; and mechanics that are always on hand for anything the customer might need. The stores also boast display modules that help customers make an informed choice.
The main showroom, colored in white, black, silver, and blue, is designed with openness in mind. The clear floor plan features a glass partition so customers can watch Suzuki’s technician work their magic in the service shop.
The Suzuki Mariel 3S shop wares include the Triple Threat Bikes, namely the fuel-efficient Address scooter powered by Suzuki Eco-Performance fuel-injection (SEP FI) technology; the Gixxer street sports bike with a 155 cc carburetor engine; and the Advanced Suzuki X-4 or AX4 business-oriented motorcycle.
Also available is the Raider J115 Fi underbone with blue lens headlight and updated decals; the very affordable Shooter 115 Fi underbone; the youthful and sporty Smash 115; the stunning and powerful Skydrive 125 scooter; and the GD110 heavy-duty backbone motorcycle.
Team Suzuki and Mariel organized various promos and activities for the store’s customers, all kicked off by a huge motorcade with over 30 Suzuki riders. Discounted prices with low monthly amortization and interest rates were made available to the first buyers, along with freebies and gifts that are bundled with each Suzuki bike. The celebration lasted until evening, with activities such as a dance contest, search for the Suzuki Biker Babe, and other fun games entertaining the store’s patrons. All Suzuki motorcycle owners were also treated to a free service with change oil, tune-up, and oil-filter. Lastly, the Suzuki Address was on hand for guests to test on the road.
Present during the event were Suzuki Philippines, Inc. president Hiroshi Suzuki, managing director Norminio Mojica, and assistant national sales manager for motorcycle sales Mitsunori Shiraishi. Mariel Machineries, Inc. was represented by president Alfred Castillo, Sr. with wife Lorena Castillo, operational manager Alfredo Castillo, Jr., legal and admin manager Alfredo Mariano Castillo, IT head Alvin Castillo, and audit department head Alona Oliveros. Also present in the event were Gumaca mayor Erwin Caralian and barangay chairman Elsie Caralian. The event was also graced by Suzuki riders in Gumaca and nearby towns, business partners, and media friends.
