In today’s automotive landscape, vehicle protection is no longer a single product or one-time investment. Dealers and operators are relying on a combination of protection systems, F&I solutions, and customer-focused programs that extend vehicle life, build trust, and drive recurring revenue. At The Mattiacio Group, we’ve seen how the right industry partnerships help dealerships deliver better outcomes — from enhancing durability and resale value to improving customer satisfaction and long-term loyalty.

How Partnerships Drive Better Protection for Customers and Dealers

Trusted manufacturers and service providers have pushed automotive protection forward over the past decade. Advanced coatings, sprayed-on liner technologies, corrosion protection, interior/exterior preservation systems, and warranty-backed products all require training, application standards, and ongoing support. Dealers benefit when they can offer these solutions confidently, without navigating those requirements alone.

For customers, these partnerships translate into more reliable protection, better ownership experiences, and products backed by recognizable brands with proven performance.

A Portfolio Built Around Dealer and Operator Success

The Mattiacio Group partners with some of the most respected brands in the automotive protection sector, each contributing a different layer of value for dealers, operators, and end-users:

The Mattiacio Group F&I Agency

Supporting dealerships with vehicle service contracts and protection products designed to reinforce long-term relationships with customers, rather than short-term fees or inflated pricing models.

Ziebart

A global leader in appearance and protection services including rust protection, detailing, paint protection, and window tinting. Ziebart helps customers safeguard their investment, improve vehicle aesthetics, and extend vehicle life—while providing dealers with brand recognition and built-in consumer trust.

Rhino Linings

As the licensing rights holder for Rhino Linings® sprayed-on bed liners in parts of New York State, The Mattiacio Group enables hundreds of dealers and Ziebart locations to offer durable, highly recognized truck protection backed by a world-renowned brand.

Together, these partnerships give dealers access to a complete ecosystem of protection products, profit-center services, marketing capabilities, and operational tools that reinforce value throughout the ownership cycle.

Positioned for Long-Term Growth and Continuity

Partnerships also play a strategic role when evaluating growth opportunities. Dealers and operators with strong brand relationships tend to be more resilient, more efficient, and better positioned for expansion into new territories. These capabilities also become critical during ownership transitions, where continuity of service, product support, and customer trust matter greatly.

By investing in trusted industry partnerships, automotive businesses can strengthen their market position, expand revenue channels, and deliver better protection to the customers and communities they serve every day.
