Auto Enhancements, a leading vehicle upfitter and custom automotive solutions provider, today announced a strategic partnership with CARIDACO, a consultancy specializing in automotive compliance, certification, and government contracting. 

Together, the companies are developing a process to certify Auto Enhancements with major Automotive Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) as an approved installer for U.S.  Government Non-Tactical Vehicles (NTVs) for the Unites States Secret Service. 

This collaboration leverages CARIDACO’s deep expertise in OEM certification and federal vehicle compliance processes, alongside Auto Enhancements’ extensive capabilities in vehicle upfitting, accessories, and technology integration.

The partnership aims to align Auto Enhancements’ operations with OEM standards, ensuring compliance with federal requirements and enabling direct participation in government NTV programs. 

“Partnering with CARIDACO allows us to expand our capabilities and ensure that Auto Enhancements meets the highest standards of quality and compliance recognized by major OEMs and the U.S. Government,” said Diana Braschler, Owner, Auto Enhancements. “This partnership will position us to better serve federal agencies with precision, reliability, and trust.” 

“CARIDACO is proud to support Auto Enhancements in achieving OEM-certified status for Non-Tactical Vehicle installations,” said Dan Neuenfeldt, President, CARIDACO INC. “Our mission is to bridge the gap between industry leaders and government compliance standards, and Auto Enhancements’ commitment to excellence makes them an ideal partner.” 

The joint effort will focus on developing standardized certification documentation, process validation, and direct engagement with major OEMs to ensure Auto Enhancements’ full compliance and recognition as a certified installation provider for U.S. Government NTVs.
