## Story

Gearing up for the highly-anticipated premiere of ABC’s Shifting Gears – a sitcom about classic car restoration and repairing a father-daughter relationship, starring Tim Allen and Kat Dennings – Ziebart is offering a special, limited-time package deal to help fans restore their cars.

As Shifting Gears inspires viewers to give their own cars the care and attention they deserve, Ziebart is offering complimentary Ultra Fabric Protection Upgrades with the purchase of any interior detailing service. The promotion also includes an exclusive Shifting Gears Shammy drying cloth, only available at Ziebart locations in the U.S. The offer runs from January 1 – February 28, 2025 at all U.S. Ziebart stores.

“Shifting Gears is a reminder of the pride, satisfaction, and connection we feel when we take care of something we love,” said Thomas A. Wolfe, President & Chief Executive Officer of Ziebart. “Tim Allen has famously called Michigan home since he was a child, so it seemed only natural for Ziebart – a company proudly rooted in the Detroit area – to collaborate with Shifting Gears all while highlighting car restorations.”

ABC’s Shifting Gears airs on Wednesdays at 8/7c on ABC starting January 8, 2025. Watch episodes the next day on demand and on Hulu.
