The Brief

Cerni Motors has been a fixture of the Mahoning Valley auto trade for decades. After joining the Trivista Companies group, the dealership needed a vehicle program that worked across two operating brands without a hard reset of the fleet — same trucks, evolved graphics.

The Challenge

A multi-vehicle fleet across two locations, three operating brands (Cerni, Trivista, Ascendance), and a steady cadence of new acquisitions. Each new vehicle has to land on a customer site looking like it belongs to one auto group — and the storefront had to keep up.

The Process
  1. 01
    Spec

    Templated wrap design covering each vehicle class — Promaster van, box truck, dealer-courtesy Equinox.

  2. 02
    Produce

    Wraps printed and prepped at our Boardman shop; storefront panels fabricated in parallel.

  3. 03
    Install

    In-house 3M Certified install at our location. Storefront and wall graphics installed on site at Cerni's Youngstown shop.
