It’s hard to believe but it’s been a decade since The Covenant Car Company Inc  signed up as the exclusive Philippine distributor of Chevrolet vehicles. To help celebrate this, TCCI recognized the hardworking men and women that serve the motoring public via its annual Chevrolet Grandmasters event held last May 24, 2019 at the Solaire Resort and Casino.

The 2019 Chevrolet Grandmasters, like past events, salutes the sales, after-sales, and customer relations efforts of the different Chevrolet dealers throughout the country. It not only gives a thumbs-up to the tireless efforts of the team but likewise pushes them to strive for excellence in everything they do.
