Booming Ilocos: Toyota opens full-service dealership in Candon City, Ilocos Sur

Toyota Motor Philippines has opened its 74th dealership in Candon City, Ilocos Sur, marking another big move to serve the growing mobility needs of Northern Luzon.

The new Toyota Ilocos Sur outlet is a full 3S facility offering Sales, Service, and Spare Parts in one location. 

Strategically positioned in Barangay Langlangca II, it features a four-car showroom and a 47-bay workshop to support rising vehicle demand. 

Backed by Toyota Dagupan City Inc., the launch reflects a broader investment wave flowing into Ilocos as the region grows in connectivity, commerce, and tourism.  

Management’s view 

“To be able to witness our vision coming to life is truly an amazing feeling. This is not just the start of a new business for Toyota; the establishment of this facility is a clear reflection of your hard work and dedication,” TMP president Masando Hashimoto said in a statement. 

“As we officially open the doors of this dealership, the store not only will cater to our valued customers but help build community and boost the economy of Ilocos Sur,” he added.
