John Lopez, owner and president of car service company Tuned In Style, has established himself in the field of vehicle customization by employing his technical background and expertise using the latest technology. His colorful clientele includes really famous celebrities.
A few years ago, actress Gretchen Barretto commissioned his company to customize a full-sized bus which she took to her shoots.
Soon enough, Lopez and his team found themselves servicing vans of matinee idol Coco Martin, ace comedian-TV host Vice Ganda, and seasoned actor Albert Martinez.
Coco Martin’s Inkas Sentry is a bullet-proof armored personnel carrier equipped with a privacy partition and power seats with leg rest. The air-conditioning still works when the engine’s off so the actor rests inside during taping breaks.
Maja Salvador’s Ford Transit has four captain seats, a TV, and ambient lighting. Vice Ganda’s Volkswagen Crafter has a partition and a comfort room.
Partners Daniel Padilla and Kathryn Bernardo also got their own Volkswagen Crafter in black, furnished with a shower and a bed.
Tuned In Style also refurbished Albert Martinez’s Ford E150.
Lopez noted that he recently worked with singer Angeline Quinto, actress Ryza Cenon, and actor Christian Bables.
Tuned In Style somehow benefited from the new normal as the owner observed, “Inquiries now are somewhat larger compared before the pandemic started. Maybe it’s because of the limitation in air travel which prompted them to do road travel both for leisure and business.”
Tuned In Style has also designed a swab testing van for Maxicare and customizes mobile salons and optical shops.
Tuned In Style is on a high gear complementing its three warehouses, and one showroom called Primera Klasse located in Quezon Ave. It aims to branch out in the Visayas and Mindanao regions, and then in South East Asia.
