Car Dealerships

Automobile dealer profitability is under pressure in this era of reduced sales volumes and highly competitive pricing, and dealers across the country are seeking ways to improve profits and add value to their new and used cars. Many dealers find that paint protection and automotive window films are valued by car buyers and add to their bottom line.

Paint Protection Film (PPF)
This clear film replaces bulky vinyl bras and plastic deflectors and helps to keep hoods, bumpers, door posts, fenders, and mirror backs looking new longer. Even those leasing a new car find value in PPF because the appearance of the vehicle is better preserved, thus reducing the potential for assessed penalties at the end of the lease term.

Why should a car dealership offer 3M Scotchgard Paint Protection Film to its customers?

3M Paint Protection Film is a great revenue enhancer that can generate $300-$500 in gross profit per car. PPF can contribute up to $125,000 to the bottom line of a car dealership that sells 250 cars per year.

In addition to being a revenue generator, PPF can also enhance your CSI ratings. Post-sale rock chips are major complaints among new car buyers, thus driving down a dealership’s CSI. PPF will minimize these complaints.

You can perform the installations in-house or subcontract the labor to a 3M-certified installer.
