The Toyota Los Baños Service Center is the first standalone Toyota Service Center in the CALABARZON Region. With a total floor area of 6,000 square meters, the facility is designed to support a growing customer base through efficient and accessible service. The facility is equipped with 68 car bays, comprising 25 productive bays and 43 holding bays, allowing for streamlined service flow and reduced waiting times. The center also features a display area for two vehicles and offers a full range of aftersales services, including Express Maintenance, Periodic Maintenance, General Services, and Body and Paint Services.
Los Baños is recognized as a center for education, research, eco-tourism, and regional connectivity. Its proximity to the National Highway (Calamba-Pagsanjan Road), and major transport routes linking Laguna to nearby provinces and Metro Manila makes it an important gateway for movement and daily mobility, supporting the area’s steady growth in economic and community activity.

Shared Egmidio "Eddie" S. Jose, Chairman of Toyota Calamba. "When we broke ground in October 2024, we envisioned a world-class facility that would serve as both a home away from home for our team and a welcoming space for customers to experience the full meaning of owning a Toyota. Today, that vision has become reality." He added.
With its modern facilities, expanded capacity, and comprehensive service offerings, the new Toyota Service Center strengthens the brand’s nationwide service network and supports the everyday mobility needs of customers in Laguna.
