Car servicing and cozy shop in one

By Chef Ed Dychauco of Pots & Pans

TODAY marks the beginning of a new business venture in the city of Golden Friendship. A new addition to our growing need for a more modern and sophisticated car care service in Cagayan de Oro. But with a twist, because it's not only a car care service center but also a chic cafe to serve the ever-growing population of Kagay-anons and its neighboring towns and cities as well.

Businessman Nixon Go and his partner for life, Eden S. Go, both from Davao City, came to Cagayan de Oro City way back in August 2005 and started FCN (named after their 3 kid's initials) Marketing along Osmena St., selling tires, rims, batteries, lubricants, and car accessories.

Back in Davao City, Nixon has been exposed to this kind of business since 1990 when their family opened their very first car servicing center that eventually paved way for a bigger, better, and more modern Mega Wheels, a complete auto shop located along Quimpo Avenue, not far from SM Davao, which has become one of the most established auto servicing company in the city.

Sensing a need for a center where his products can be put to good use, Nixon decided to open WheelMart Car Care Services and Cafe, a one stop auto servicing shop, plus a cozy cafe where one can enjoy world-class coffee, sinful and delectable pastries, cakes and breads while waiting for their cars to be fixed. A wholesome place not only for the husbands or wives who drive but also for the kids to enjoy the food!

Here, one can find imported and local items ranging from Magwheels (Silver Wind, Concept One, AMS, ARE), rims, tires (Sime Tyres), batteries (FB from Japan), car accessories like car alarms, horns, fog lights, car stereos, hood visors, etc. They are also the exclusive distributor of Enoc Lubricants for Northern Mindanao, as well as Sime Tyres. Quality automotive services would include wheel alignment, tire balancing, computerized engine diagnosis, installations, change oil, nitrogen air, and many more.

Not just a cafe

The cafe, located inside the glass-enclosed air-conditioned room adjacent to the service center area, can seat 20-30 people comfortably. One can see what is being done to their cars while sipping delicious hot or cold coffee, teas, shakes and other concoctions or just enjoying any of their superb desserts.

To give the best and quality coffees to their beloved customers, they only use Cafe Mauro Coffees from Italy and uses the best coffee machine, Rancillo, also from Italy. Coffees beans are freshly grind upon ordering to ensure freshness and excellent aroma.

As a start, the cafe will serve the usual and most in-demand coffees like Café Latte, Cappuccino, Espresso, and Flavored coffees using world-class Torani Syrups. Cold conconctions include: Chocolate Macadamia Delight, Caramel Breeze, Frusia Mixed Berries Smoothies and many more. Premier's Continental Selection Teas from exotic India are also available, either hot or cold.

Mouth-watering desserts, cupcakes, cookies, pastries and bread are also available. They include, to name a few: Deep Dark Chocolate Muffins, Brownie Muffins, Cheese Muffins, Hawaiian Muffins, Almond Brittle Brownies, Rocky Road Brownies, Double Chocolate Chip Cookies, Nutty Oatmeal Cookies, Chocolate Crinkles, Coffee-filled Chocolate Cake, Cheesy Ham Enzaymada, Coconut-Pineapple Macaroons, Meat Pies and many others. More offerings will come very soon, which would include sandwiches and other short orders like pastas and pancakes.

WheelMart Car Care Services & Cafe is sure to give you hi-tech quality and excellent service with the newest technology at its very best at a reasonable and affordable price. Get your money's worth! Come visit and have your car serviced at the newest and most modern car servicing center in the city while also enjoying your coffee, tea, pastries and more. Feel the difference. Feel the warmth and friendly atmosphere where everyone is treated like a royalty!
