The provided source material details the IMG Auto Program, a membership benefit available to members of IMG (presumably a financial services or membership organization). This program is described as offering assistance to members in the Philippines who are purchasing vehicles. The program's primary focus is on facilitating a streamlined car buying experience, securing discounts, and providing additional perks, rather than distributing free product samples or trials in the categories typically associated with consumer freebies.
According to the source material, the IMG Auto Program is designed to help members "save more - stress less" when purchasing or leasing a vehicle. The program offers several specific benefits to its members. These include low, prearranged member pricing and access to all available national manufacturer incentives. The program utilizes a network of more than 3,000 hand-selected dealerships nationwide. Members are served by trained authorized dealer contacts, aiming to provide a smooth and seamless buying experience.
Program Mechanics and Member Testimonials
The source material consists largely of testimonials from members who have utilized the IMG Auto Program for their vehicle purchases. These testimonials provide insight into how the program functions in practice.
One testimonial highlights the assistance provided by IMG staff, specifically mentioning "Ma'am Kaye Arias, Head of Personnel & Business Development Manager of IMG." The member notes that IMG ensured the best discount for a car purchase and secured an additional 5,000 Php cash discount from a Kia dealer in Pampanga. The member also received "a lot of Freebies," specifically mentioning a free window tinting from Huper Optik valued at 17,000-20,000 Php.
Another member, Andrew Jr & Realyn Fabillar, expressed gratitude for the benefits received during a spot cash car purchase.
Testimonials frequently mention the role of specific IMG personnel and member benefits assistants (MBAs) in guiding the process. A member named Veronica Sandaya, who purchased a Toyota Innova, credited the "members assistance desk" for responding to her request within a week and processing the necessary documentation without hassle. She described the experience as "life changing."
Atty. Mary Grace H. Padapat joined IMG in November 2020 and found the membership process easy, requiring only the filling out of documents sent online.
Vincent & Emmanuel Urbiztondo, who purchased a Mitsubishi Expander, praised the program for helping them throughout the process, from documentation to securing the best deal. Camellie Carol S. De Vera, who purchased a Toyota, thanked Ms. Rachel Jocame for her service and customer dedication, noting that the Auto program process was quick and beyond expectations.
Bishop Joven Tutas, who purchased an Isuzu Travis, emphasized the benefit of hassle-free assistance in finding a supplier and obtaining a discount.
