Independent Service Center Becomes Vanderhall Owners’ Fix-It Hub After OEM Falls Short

PLAINFIELD, Ill., Feb. 18, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Premiere Motorsports announces the official launch of the nation’s first dedicated Vanderhall service center – Premiere Service & Performance – positioning itself as the go-to resource for Vanderhall owners seeking expert solutions to known manufacturer defects and design limitations.

Image caption: Premiere Motorsports and Vanderhall.

After successfully servicing hundreds of Vanderhall vehicles from across state lines, Premiere Motorsports is formalizing its role as the nationwide authority on addressing the unique challenges faced by the Vanderhall owner community. The specialized Vanderhall service center tackles well-documented OEM shortcomings and Vanderhall issues that have long frustrated enthusiasts, from parts defects to design inadequacies that impact performance and reliability.

“Vanderhall owners deserve better than the factory limitations they’ve been dealing with,” said Chris Czupta, Premiere Motorsports’ owner. “We’ve built our expertise by listening to the community and developing proven solutions to the Vanderhall issues that matter most to these passionate drivers. Now we’re making those Vanderhall repair and performance solutions available nationwide.”

The service center offers comprehensive Vanderhall repair and Vanderhall performance mods specifically engineered to correct known manufacturer issues, providing Vanderhall owners with the quality and performance they expected when purchasing their vehicles. With a deep understanding of the common pain points within the Vanderhall community, the team delivers both corrective Vanderhall repair services and Vanderhall performance mods that transform these unique three-wheeled vehicles into the reliable, high-performing machines they were meant to be.

Premiere Motorsports is quickly cementing its role as the repair destination for owners frustrated by what they describe as persistent parts defects and design shortcomings that have plagued the boutique vehicle brand.

“We’re not trying to replace Vanderhall – we’re filling a necessary market gap,” said Czupta. “These are passionate owners who love their vehicles, but feel abandoned when it comes to known issues.”

The service center has already quietly serviced hundreds of Vanderhalls from multiple states, building a reputation within the tight-knit owner community as the place that actually solves problems – from correcting manufacturing defects to providing redesigns that owners say were flawed from the factory.

The move highlights a growing tension in the boutique automotive market, where small manufacturers may struggle to provide comprehensive support as quality issues emerge. Premiere Motorsports’ expansion into nationwide service represents a mutually beneficial business model: business growth for Premiere Motorsports and a solid service center to turn for the Vanderhall community.

Matrix Advises TBC Corporation on the Sale of NTB and Tire Kingdom Service Centers

RICHMOND, Va. /ScoopCloud/ -- Matrix Capital Markets Group, Inc. ("Matrix"), a leading, independent investment bank, announces that it has advised TBC Corporation ("TBC" or the "Company") on the sale of TBC's company operated retail businesses to Mavis Tire Express Services Corp. ("Mavis"). The sale includes TBC's retail network of 595 tire and automotive service centers that utilize the NTB Tire & Service Centers ("NTB") and Tire Kingdom Service Centers ("Tire Kingdom") brands.

TBC, a joint venture between Sumitomo Corporation of Americas and Michelin North America Inc., is based in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida and is one of North America's largest marketers of automotive replacement tires. The Company executes a multi-channel marketing strategy that includes automotive retail, wholesale and distribution, and franchise operations. As part of the transaction, Mavis and TBC have entered into a distribution agreement, through which TBC will provide tire distribution and wholesale services for Mavis retail locations.

While both the NTB and Tire Kingdom brands have long, storied histories, the formation of TBC's retail platform occurred during the early 2000s when the Company acquired both brands through separate acquisitions. Over the next two decades, TBC continued growing each brand and ultimately operated 392 NTB and 203 Tire Kingdom branded locations across a 17-state marketing territory prior to the sale to Mavis. Together, the NTB and Tire Kingdom brands represent the fourth largest independent tire dealership in the United States according to Modern Tire Dealer's 2022 MTD 100 rankings.

Matrix provided merger and acquisition advisory services to TBC, which included valuation advisory, marketing the business through a confidential, structured sale process, and negotiation of the transaction. The transaction was led by Stephen Lynch, CFA, CPA, Managing Director and William O'Flaherty, Director. David Shoulders, Head of Matrix's Consumer & Industrial Investment Banking Group; Kyle Tipping, CFA, Senior Associate; Matt Oldhouser, CPA, Senior Associate and Alexander Rakos, Senior Analyst, also advised on the transaction.

Brian Maciak, Executive Vice President & General Counsel of TBC Corporation, recognized, "This transaction was complex and lengthy in duration, yet the efforts, professionalism, and attention to detail from the entire Matrix team have made it as seamless as possible to finalize the agreement and partnership between TBC and Mavis."

Mr. Lynch added, "We are honored to have been chosen by TBC to not only market the NTB and Tire Kingdom brands, which are both incredibly well-known and respected within the automotive industry, but also to help the Company further develop this strategic partnership. The success of this transaction is a great reflection of the world-class organization that TBC and its shareholders have built, and we are very excited to watch TBC and Mavis grow and strengthen their partnership."

Mr. O'Flaherty noted, "Matrix is thrilled to have achieved such an excellent outcome for our client, creating value in both the near and long-term for the Company. We were uniquely positioned to drive value in this transaction given our rich history of multi-site retail expertise paired with our knowledge and experience in the automotive aftermarket value chain. We congratulate TBC, Mavis, and their various stakeholders on this successful outcome."

Bradley Edmister and Aafke Pronk of Hogan Lovells US LLP served as legal counsel for TBC.

Auto Repair Shop with Locations in Surprise and Gilbert Provides Consumer Checklist for Avoiding Common Car Repair Mistakes

PHOENIX, Ariz. /ScoopCloud/ -- All Valley Car Care, a Phoenix-area auto repair shop with locations in Surprise and Gilbert, has compiled a consumer checklist for avoiding the five most common car repair mistakes. The checklist is intended to help local vehicle owners avoid car troubles as we approach the holiday travel season.

All Valley Car Care cites the pitfalls below, and urges consumers to do their due diligence as we head into one of the busiest travel periods of the year.

* Avoid hiring a cheap mechanic. Cheap is expensive in the long run. The desire to save a few dollars should not lead to the mistake of hiring a cheap mechanic to handle a car repair. Most cheap mechanics lack adequate knowledge and expertise to diagnose a car and fix the problem correctly. Opt for a well-qualified mechanic with a good work record. Compare the prices of various quality mechanics and hire the most affordable one who will not compromise good service and delivery.

Chris Holsinger of All Valley Car Care offers this piece of sage advice for finding a good mechanic, "Shop around before an emergency. If you are in a rush to get your car to the shop, your judgment might be clouded."

* Don't Fill the Engine with the Wrong Oil. Different cars use different types of oil. Although using the wrong type of oil may not result in instant engine failure, using the wrong engine oil will tamper with a car's efficiency and cause damage over time. Understand the type of oil recommended for the vehicle and stick to that, whether synthetic, partially synthetic, or non-synthetic.

* Regularly Rotate Tires and Check Air Pressure. Failing to take proper care of tires isn't only a costly mistake, but it can also be a dangerous one. Check tire air pressure often and rotate the tires. It will save the tires from tread wear and tire damage, avoiding strain on steering, unequal traction, and vibration when driving.

* Pay Attention to Brake Pads. Don't wait for a fatal accident to occur before changing brake pads. If the pads are left to wear out, they will scrape the rotor, which will then cost more money to replace. Save that money by changing the brake pads often.

* Don't Put Off Scheduled Maintenance. A car manual is an essential write up that shouldn't be ignored. It contains all the information needed to know about a car, including common car issues as well as information on scheduled vehicle maintenance suggestions. By following the suggested car maintenance protocol, it's possible to save money on costly and unexpected repairs.
