History
Ziebart began in 1959 when Kurt Ziebart, a German auto mechanic and visionary entrepreneur, introduced a revolutionary rust protection process that transformed the way people cared for their vehicles. Starting with a single shop in Detroit, Michigan, Ziebart quickly gained recognition as the go-to brand for protecting and preserving cars against the elements. By 1962, Ziebart began franchising, giving entrepreneurs the opportunity to own and operate businesses built on innovation, trust, and quality service.
Over the decades, Ziebart expanded its services beyond rust protection to include detailing, window tinting, paint protection, bed liners, and more – always staying ahead of industry trends and customer needs. Today, Ziebart proudly supports more than 400 franchise locations and 1,300 service centers across 37 countries, offering franchise owners the strength of a trusted brand, proven systems, and continuous innovation. With over 65 years of experience and a growing demand for vehicle protection, Ziebart’s vision is clear: to continue leading the automotive appearance industry while empowering entrepreneurs to build lasting businesses in their communities.
