Showcasing the industry’s finest: The 2025 AutoDeal Awards

That time of the year has come again, when we recognize the standout performers across the AutoDeal platform. Welcome to the 2025 AutoDeal Awards. As with every edition, we shine a spotlight on the brands and individuals who delivered exceptional results throughout the year. Without further ado, here are this year’s winners.

Great car-buying experiences are shaped by the people behind them, those who go above and beyond to make every step smooth, transparent, and customer-focused. We begin the list by introducing this year’s Agent of the Year: Kim Rocelle Carrera of Kia Pangasinan, whose exceptional performance is highlighted by an impressive 27.11 percent conversion rate.

Ms. Carrera demonstrated strong sales expertise and a clear commitment to customer satisfaction, earning well-deserved recognition for their achievements in the industry.

This year’s Consumer’s Choice Award goes to a vehicle celebrated by verified buyers for delivering an outstanding driving and ownership experience.

Offering a perfect balance of hybrid performance and everyday practicality, it has captured the admiration of drivers in the platform, earning its place as our Consumer’s Choice Award winner for 2025.

In an increasingly online-driven market, Ford has stood out for making inquiries, consultations, and transactions more accessible and efficient for customers across the country.

In the pre-owned market, trust and transparency make all the difference, and this award recognizes a partner that delivers both with consistency. This year’s Best Used Car Dealer Partner is All Cars Showroom Inc. Lauded for its clear transaction process and strong customer focus, the company has played a key role in making used car buying more accessible and worry-free.

Backed by impressive metrics and a commitment to delivering a seamless digital car-buying experience, Suzuki Lipa earns its well-deserved title as Dealer of the Year for 2025.

Fleet deals require strategy, persistence, and a deep understanding of business needs, and this year’s top performer has mastered them all.

His dedication, expertise, and client-focused approach have earned him the title of Agent with Most Fleet Sales for 2025.

A great ownership experience doesn’t end when you drive out of the showroom; it’s built over time, through every service visit, every inquiry, and every interaction that follows. This award shines a spotlight on brands that truly understand that. This year, the recognition for outstanding after-sales support goes to Mazda Philippines. 

Grounded in customer feedback and service center performance, this award reflects the brand’s dedication to delivering quality care at every stage of ownership. In today’s competitive market, Mazda Philippines stands out not just for the vehicles it offers but for the trust it continues to build with its customers.

Excellence in sales isn’t just about numbers; it’s about trust, consistency, and connecting with every customer. Erick Magat from Isuzu Cagayan De Oro demonstrated all of these and more, closing an impressive 95 unit sales to become the highest-selling agent of the year. His dedication, expertise, and ability to make the car-buying process seamless have earned him the well-deserved title of Top Selling Agent for 2025.
