Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP), in partnership with Toyota Tacloban, Leyte Inc., has officially broken ground on a new service center in the Municipality of Palo—a strategic move that further expands Toyota’s growing after-sales network in the region.
Marking a significant milestone, the upcoming facility will be the first Toyota service center in Leyte, reinforcing the brand’s commitment to delivering accessible, high-quality, and worry-free ownership experiences to its steadily expanding customer base in Eastern Visayas.
Built to elevate the customer journey, the Toyota Palo, Leyte Service Center is designed to provide reliable, high-standard automotive care. The facility will span approximately 6,000 square meters and offer a full suite of services, including Express Maintenance, Periodic Maintenance, and General Repairs. It will also feature a modern showroom and 32 fully equipped service bays, ensuring efficient and enhanced service delivery for Toyota owners across the province. The center is targeted to open by mid-2027.
“For the past 13 years, Toyota Tacloban has remained committed to the Toyota brand by delivering quality products and services to our customers,” said Sherwin Chua-Lim. “We have earned the trust of over 28,000 customers, reflecting the strong confidence that the people of Leyte have placed in us.”
Meanwhile, Jimmy T. Yaokasin emphasized that the project is more than just infrastructure development. “This groundbreaking is not simply about constructing another service center—it’s about preparing for the next generation. As technology evolves and mobility needs grow, so do customer expectations. This expansion is our response to that future,” he shared.
Strategically located, Palo serves as a key transport and commercial hub in Leyte. With direct access to the Pan-Philippine Highway and proximity to major infrastructure such as airports and seaports, the municipality plays a vital role in regional connectivity, trade, and economic development. This makes it an ideal location to further strengthen Toyota’s presence and support the mobility needs of communities across Leyte and neighboring provinces.
