Car Dealer Power

Paint Protection Provider of the Year – Car Dealer Power 2020

Time 3:06 pm, September 28, 2020

Paint protection gives dealers a superb upselling opportunity as well as the chance to improve profits on new and used cars.

Car Dealer Power category winner GardX always goes above and beyond the call of duty to work hard for its partners.

Formed in 2003, it now has a global reach, with offices in 23 countries, and has earned a well-deserved reputation for providing market-leading products as well as outstanding customer service and support. 


GardX is a perennial winner of this hotly contested category, and head of sales Amanda Massey told us what it meant to scoop the trophy once more.

‘We are absolutely delighted to have won the award again,’ she said.

‘It means a huge deal to us to be able to win this award in such a competitive marketplace.

‘I think it’s testimony to the strength of the relationship that we have with our clients and also the team, because it’s not just one person, it’s a collective team that win these awards backed by our fantastic customers.


‘So yes, we’re really, really proud.’

Feedback in the field and via the Car Dealer Power survey heaped praise on the support given by GardX as well as the product – a sentiment echoed by Massey.

She said: ‘We pride ourselves on our account management support.

‘It’s at the heart of our business and will continue to be, and I think the relationship we build with our customers because of that is just fantastic. It just keeps going from strength to strength.’

She also emphasised how important GardX’s product was to helping dealers’ bottom line – especially with the sales industry fighting its way back post-pandemic.

Massey told how not just focusing on the car sale itself was key but being able to maximise the profit opportunities afforded by GardX’s paint and fabric protection product was invaluable as well.

She added: ‘Bottom line and profitability shouldn’t be a dirty word and I think people genuinely like the product. It’s a fantastic product.’

She added that not only did it do a great job for customers but also for dealers themselves.
