AutoIndustriya.com is a Philippine-based online automobile magazine. It is considered the longest consistently running independent automotive online publication in the Philippines.

History

AutoIndustriya.com was founded in September 25, 2000 by Brent Co and Benjamin Ngo Jr., two car enthusiasts who wanted to build an online resource for everything automotive in the Philippines.

Content

The website provides automobile enthusiasts with up-to-date news and features as well comprehensive and honest reviews of the latest car models. It has an Auto Shop Guide where enthusiasts can look for shops and services within their area. The site also has a discussion forum where enthusiasts meet online to talk about their passion. A car buyers guide featuring more than 600 new vehicles available in the Philippine market was one of the newer features added to the website. The site also has a section called Tuned, which dabbles into the world of automotive tuning and styling. A recent addition is a Blog called The Clipping Point which takes a look into car culture and other fun automotive features.

The sections are as follows:

Events

The site has also organized several events in the past. Three of which were called Ignition.[1][2][3] The site's latest event entitled Speedfest[4] is the biggest so far, attracting more than one hundred twenty cars and about two thousand people to the Subic Bay International Airport. The two-day event featured a Mile-Run, Quarter-Mile Drag Race and Gymkhana Time Trials.

The site was awarded the DigitalFilipino Web Award for Best Automotive Website for two consecutive years in 2008[5] and 2009.[6]
