Honda Cars PH opens online store for genuine parts and accessories

Buying stuff online is always a gamble, even when the seller looks legitimate.

At the end of the day, it’s what you get that really counts. And for Honda Cars Philippines Inc. (HCPI), it wants to make sure that you get the genuine article in the most convenient way.

The carmaker announced in a December 2022 press statement that customers can now order original Honda parts and accessories through its official website.

“Honda recommends genuine parts and accessories that are guaranteed made of quality materials that passed stringent tests,” HCPI said.

“Using genuine parts helps ensure safety and maintain the vehicle’s pristine condition,” the company added. “Customers can also have peace of mind and save money in the long run, as they wouldn’t have to worry about parts breaking down and needing to be replaced more often than usual.

Visitors can go to the Spare Parts and Accessories Online Store and follow these steps:

• Input the Honda vehicle owned along with its year model. The selection can also be filtered by dealer and discounts.

• Click the ‘Search’ button to see the list of available parts or accessories. Items for purchase can be added by clicking the Cart icon.

• After selecting the preferred parts and accessories, the order will be confirmed once the complete name of the customer, mobile number and email address have been provided for dealer reference.

• Click the ‘Send Order’ button to finish the purchase process.

Payment may be done online through bank transfer, credit card, GCash, Maya or Palawan Express (for Honda Cars dealers under the Ayala Cebu Group). Customers can also pay onsite with cash, credit card or GCash.

The ordered parts and accessories can be picked up at 32 participating Honda Cars dealers. These include:

HCPI said the customer’s preferred dealer will then inform the customer via SMS or e-mail regarding the availability of the item/s ordered. 

This will be followed by the scheduling of a dealer visit for the installation of parts and/or accessories. Customers may also arrange for parts delivery with corresponding shipping fees.
