SPYDER products now available!

Spyder products in Sudapin Shell Station, Kidapawan City

Actually they've been available in our motor parts store a few months now, I just didn't have time to blog about it :) Anyway, Solito Motor Oil and Auto Parts Supply is the exclusive distributor of Spyder products in Kidapawan City. We have the best prices in town, sometimes even cheaper than Davao City prices! ^__^ We currently sell sturdy Spyder helmets, stylish Spyder sunglasses / shades (hubby used to have one and my father currently has one, both love its fit!), and other cool Spyder products. You can ask for discounts if you will buy a few items / wholesale ;-)

If you missed our previous post, the main store of Solito Motor Oils and Auto Parts Supply is in Sudapin Shell Station. Below is a view of the Spyder signage from outside the gas station. The Spyder products are displayed inside the Shop. We have a few Spyder products on display in our motorcycle parts store branch in Kidapawan Public Market as well. So, what are you waiting for? Go indulge and buy your most coveted Spyder product! ^__^

Kung Hei Fat Choi motorcycle enthusiasts!!

Long time no post but praise be God, my parents' motorcycle business is still up and running this 2013! ^__^ See the keychain above? That's one of the holiday giveaways we received from our Caloocan motorcycle parts supplier. And we will also be giving it away to some of our motorparts customers! So drop by one of our Kidapawan stores and you might just get lucky to get a free bad-ass keychain :)

a lil update! :)

Oh, hi there! Long time no hear from me eh? Can't believe it's been two months since I last posted here! It's because I've been very busy in real life. My own family of four moved to our country's capital city last October 1, and I've been packing up / unpacking stuff / settling in / adjusting to life where we're on our own. Thankfully it has been a good two months ^__^

On that moving part note, my parents' main motorparts store has also moved to its new space last October! Solito Motor Oil and Auto Parts Supply's main branch is now officially located in Sudapin Shell Station, a few meters from the Barracks area along the "Tourist Road" going to Mt. Apo. Since we don't pay rent here, all our motorcycle parts are much, much cheaper than other stores. So if you're along the way and / or want to save a lot, do drop by! A cousin of mine is manning the store and will be happy to assist you ;-)

our second branch :)

Just a quick post to show you Solito Motor Oil and Auto Parts Supply's second store branch. Yep, believe it or not, we have another shop! My parents may be n00bs in the motorcycle parts business but they are not afraid to expand ;-) Our first motorparts store opened August 2011. Three months later, my parents and my relatives who handle the day-to-day operations of the store, are just getting the hang of managing a business. And then they heard that a motorparts store is closing near Kidapawan's Public Market. My parents decided to buy the store (stocks and all), rename it and voila! On November 2011, we had our second store --

Yeah, it doesn't look much, LOL! I'll even go far to say it's looks a bit dingy :p But hey, it's near the public market so being dingy is just normal. Hehe! One good thing: the rent space is much cheaper here. Also, there's lots of motorcycles as the market has a terminal for public vehicles. Below is the interior shot of the store. That's my cousin in blue shirt, he's the one manning this branch :) Notice the motorcycle engine oils we have on stock. Yeah, we have lots because we also sell it wholesale.

we're moving!

By October (next month), the main store of Solito Motor Oil and Auto Parts Supply will officially be located in Shell Sudapin Station. For those of you who live in Kidapawan City, especially in Barracks / Sudapin / Manongol (and up to the foothills of Mt. Apo) areas, this Bulilit Shell gasoline station might be familiar to you already. It is along Tourist Road / Ilumavis Road and opened last June 2012. Bulilit means small by the way. So, why the move? To save on rent space of course! And what we save will hopefully be profit, and enough to conduct a medical mission this year ^__^ Anyway, here's a shot of the Shell Sudapin Station (that's my kid in red, hehe):

As you might have guessed, this gasoline station is another business of my parents. My father's dream business actually :) But lest you think we're rich, no, we're not. If you look at the Shell Sudapin Station carefully, it only has two bays, with 6 pumps each. Yeah, it's a very small gas station, one that my father can actually afford to put up. Hehe! Anyway, back to the moving of our Kidapawan motorparts store. The big question is: does it make sense to move it to a gas station? In our case, it's a big YES! Coz most of the station's customers are motorcycles and tricycles (perhaps around 90%). In essence, our gas station coupled with the motorparts store will become a hub for motorcycle drivers and bikers! The drivers will fill their motorcycle tanks with gas, buy motor oils they need in the shop, have a motor part repaired, and perhaps eat a snack in our mini-grocery while they wait. Perfect setup if I may say so! ;-)
