Ziebart, a provider of automotive appearance and protection services, has announced the expansion of its operations into three new markets in the United States. The 65-year-old company will be extending its rustproofing and auto detailing services to Washington, Pennsylvania; Ruskin, Florida; and Phoenix, Arizona.
In Pennsylvania, entrepreneurs and brothers Nick and Mark Lambie are opening the a location. The duo, who previously launched a Ziebart store in Morgantown, West Virginia, are now bringing their expertise to a new market. Nick Lambie, a former U.S. Air Force Master Sergeant, expressed enthusiasm about the expansion. “This is an exciting opportunity for us and for Ziebart overall. The average household in Washington has two cars, which is above the national average, and we know people want to take care of them the right way, so we’re here to help,” he said. “My brother and I are thrilled to expand our family business into a new community that will benefit from the trusted services we provide.”
The Ruskin, Florida, location marks Ziebart’s first foray into the Tampa market. Local entrepreneurs and couple Raymond and Wysteria Austin are spearheading this new venture. Raymond, with experience in the automotive industry, and Wysteria, a nurse, are joining forces to provide vehicle care services to their community.
In Phoenix, the veteran franchising group DEF Protect Corp. will be managing the first Ziebart store in the area. This location aims to address the unique challenges posed by the local environment, including intense sun and desert winds, which can affect vehicle longevity.
“As demand for automotive aftercare services continues to skyrocket, Ziebart will continue to award agreements to those looking to add our 65-year-old expertise to liven the vehicles in these distinct communities,” said Thomas A. Wolfe, president and CEO of Ziebart International Corporation. “We’re thrilled to continue to bring more communities complete vehicle protection solutions from coast to coast and beyond.”
