Unbeatable Worry-Free Driving, only with Goodyear

When my father used to run a machine shop business a long time ago, I remember that one of our most valuable clients were Goodyear Philippines.

That was why we always got Goodyear tires for all our vehicles back then. So it was sort of a nostalgic experience when I attended a Goodyear event last week, although I don't know anyone from the company, still it brought back a lot of memories when I used to accept orders from the company.

Goodyear launched their new and improved Worry Free Assurance warranty program that gives you emergency roadside assistance, complimentary servicing, and have your tires replaced, all for free. It’s all part of Goodyear’s commitment to give you a better drive.

In a country where poorly maintained roads, and epic traffic jams in sweltering heat are the norm rather than the exception, a reasonable annual fee for 24/7 nationwide Emergency Roadside Assistance and towing is an investment worth considering, but getting Emergency Roadside Assistance free is even better especially if it comes from a company of unquestionable reliability.

And this exactly is just one of the things Goodyear now offers Filipino motorists with the rollout of the new and improved Worry Free Assurance, the first, latest, and most comprehensive warranty coverage from Goodyear Philippines.

In the cutthroat automotive industry that has enjoyed a streak of three consecutive record breaking years in terms of sales, a lot of dealers now include Emergency Roadside Assistance as a part of their warranties, especially on premium vehicles.  The thing is though, this is the Philippines where 10 year old cars are common, and as a people we tend to be sentimental about our cars and to hang on to them well over five years. One of the concerns with Emergency Roadside Assistance attached to a vehicle warranty is that older car owners can’t benefit from it.

That is the beauty of Goodyear’s Worry Free Assurance now Emergency Roadside Assistance is attached not to a car that will last 10-15 years but to a set or even just a pair of tires that will last between up to 3 years depending on mileage and vehicle condition; and there is no tire company in the Philippines more reputable than Goodyear.   Goodyear is virtually a household name in the Philippines, it is one of the biggest and oldest tire companies in the world.  If any company has the stability, the knowhow, and the resources to confidently offer a 24/7 Emergency Roadside Assistance nationwide in the Philippines, it is Goodyear.

The Goodyear Worry Free Assurance is now the standard warranty coverage that comes with selected models of Goodyear tires.  Fulfilled in partnership with MAA Assurance as the insurance and emergency roadside assistance partner, the Worry Free Assurance guarantees 24/7 Emergency Roadside assistance not just for tire-related incidents, but for any vehicle breakdown as well as a Personal Accident Insurance of up to P50,000 for the driver of the enrolled vehicle. Also included in the coverage are Goodyear’s 5 year limited warranty (from date of purchase) against manufacturer defects, one year Road Hazard Warranty (for select tire patterns)and an easy 0% interest payment scheme for up to 6 months.

Getting your Goodyear Worry Free Assurance card is FREE when you purchaseat least two eligible Goodyear tires of the same pattern and size. This is exclusively offered in Goodyear Autocareand Servitekoutlets.  The vehicle the tires are used on then becomes eligible for Worry Free Assurance and all of its benefits.

Goodyear believes that the tire business is a primarily a business of providing safety, which is why Goodyear scientists and engineers have tirelessly worked to improve Goodyear products for over a hundred years. Goodyear also believes that the commitment to the safety and well-being of customers goes beyond manufacturing superior products.  It is ultimately about providing superior service, particularly in times of need.  The many Goodyear Autocareand Servitekoutlets Goodyear has operated over the years are a testament to that commitment, the rollout of Worry Free Assurance takes that commitment to the next level.

“Goodyear is committed to being the most trusted brand in tires and automotive services in the country. Recognizing that high quality services are extremely important to our customers in the maintenance of their vehicles, customers of our Goodyear Autocare outlets will be served by an expert team, who are provided with the latest equipment in auto servicing. And with the new Goodyear Worry Free Assurance warranty program, we are stepping up and setting the bar high for unparalleled warranty offerings,” shared Kenneth Sambajon, Market Director of Goodyear Philippines.

Its Back-to-School season with Robinsons Supermarket "Learn Wellness"

Back in the day, when my kids (from grade school to high school)  were all studying. (In college, they opted to an increase allowances). I always had a hard time preparing for their baon. It would always be fried eggs, ham, hotdogs, fried chicken with rice, biscuits (1 hi-ro and 1 skyflakes) and an egg sandwich on rotation. They would request me to tweak their baons from time to time. Nakakasawa na daw kase. Sometimes, I ended up whipping a pandesal and a coconut jam or a pandesal with kesong puti and a mayonnaise spread.

In this time and day,  millenials are pushing everyone to eat healthier, more eco-friendly foods like eggs and chia seeds. Thanks to today's generation. The rise of the healthy meal preparation with fresh and healthy ingredients are the norm.

In time for the back-to-school season, families, especially students, can continue their journey towards healthy living as they discover nutritious and rewarding food choices in “Learn Wellness”, the second promo event in the “Route to Wellness” campaign of Robinsons Supermarket.
