Car ownership made worry-free with beepbeep.ph

-

Owning a vehicle has long ceased to be a luxury. Today, the automobile is a practical, everyday enabler for individual­s, families, and groups to get from here to there and get things done.

But while being a timesaver, a car also demands our attention — taking us away from family or work. When it bogs down, or when the odometer or calendar says so, a vehicle will need to be brought to a repair shop or casa. How many hours do we lose bringing it there, waiting for repairs or maintenanc­e work to be done, then making the drive back?

Now, there’s a revolution­ary new way to open the door to easy car ownership minus the hassle of traditiona­l responsibi­lities. A first of its kind in the country, beepbeep.ph is the online destinatio­n, platform, and gateway for all things automotive – helping car owners address all their car needs in the most efficient and time-saving way.

“Today, we can do all sorts of tasks from our phones. There are services that help us pay our bills, work remotely, get rides, order food, arrange vacations, and other things previously unheard of. We at beepbeep.ph are ushering in a new age of convenienc­e for car owners,” said beepbeep.ph CEO Anton Ojeda.

Maintenanc­e Valet

Headlining the new applicatio­n’s suite of functions is the so-called Maintenanc­e Valet. When car owners need to have preventive maintenanc­e services or even annual autodetail­ing jobs done on their vehicles, they don’t have to do the task themselves and interrupt their daily routines.

Users simply search for their preferred car shop on beepbeep.ph and book an appointmen­t through the website or the app. Cars will be fetched by beepbeep.

ph company drivers — fully equipped with body cameras and who are continuous­ly monitored via GPS for both safety and constant monitoring.

“This is something we have thought of very carefully and worked on painstakin­gly hard to guarantee, because our vehicles are valuable and our time is precious,” continued Ojeda. In addition, all vehicles are fully insured from the moment it is turned over to beepbeep.ph drivers, who are also trained profession­al drivers.

Curated Directory

The app provides users access to over 7,000 curated and vetted car shops — giving motorists easy access to a considerab­le network of auto services ranging from reliable official dealership hubs (casas) and independen­t repair shops (talyer) in the metro through its Search & Canvass feature. Search parameters can be tailored based on service, location, and favorabili­ty rating.

Car owners can be linked to garages and local car shops that offer maintenanc­e and mechanical repairs, car wash and detailing, body repairs, paints and wraps, and more. Each beepbeep.ph listing offers a detailed look at what to expect from an establishm­ent — a menu of services, features, operating hours, address and Google Map locator, payment methods, and estimated cost per visit. The director also includes insurance providers and Land Transporta­tion Office outlets.

Emergency Services

Rounding out its services, beepbeep.ph promises motorists an immediate helpline for on-road emergencie­s. The 24/7 Roadside Assistance feature offers emergency towing, battery replacemen­t, and tire-change services to any car owner — without the need for membership­s within Metro Manila, and without additional charges.
