5th Annual Parking Lot Sale & Parts Exchange at California Car Cover

Our 5th Annual Parking Lot Sale and Parts Exchange took place this past Saturday. Each year we pull out a lot of our seasonal, open box or discontinued merchandise and set up a great one day sale for our local customers.

In addition, a handful of local customers participate by hosting a parts exchange in our parking lot where local enthusiasts and gearheads can swap parts and talk cars.

The parking lot sale is not an official car show at California Car Cover, but a lot of our local customers drive over their classic cars or hot rods each year. Here are photos of a few of the classics at our store this past Saturday.

If you were in the market for some folding chairs, collectible signs, front end bras or billet grilles, our sale was the place for you. We had pallets of merchandise up for sale. I don't know where we keep finding all of this stuff in our warehouse!

We had a few local customers set up in the parts exchange. There was plenty of car parts, automotive art and much more to check out.

Thank you to everyone that braved the heat and participated in this year's parking lot sale and parts exchange. We look forward to hosting the event again next year at California Car Cover.

4th Annual Fall Parking Lot Sale and Parts Exchange

 This past Saturday morning was our 4th Annual Fall Parking Lot Sale and Parts Exchange. The day started pretty early for the staff and me. We were at California Car Cover around 5am to start pulling merchandise and setting up the canopies.

Nice '32 Ford that stopped by the sale.

 It was well over 100 degrees on Saturday, so it kept a lot of our parts exchange vendors. A lot of customers still came over in their classic cars to check out the deals under the tent. We still had a handful of participants that had great deals on car parts and accessories. As usual, California Car Cover hosted coffee, donuts and cold drinks for everyone that stopped by.

 Even though it was pretty hot out, we still had some fun with the vendors and customers. We set up a game of Baggo for customers and employees to enjoy.

 Our sales associates were on hand to help customers with our open box car covers. We had great deals on California Car Covers from canceled or incorrect orders.

It was a nice day at California Car Cover. Thank you to everyone that stopped by the Sale and Exchange. Hopefully you can stop by at one of these events in 2013. Just keep an eye out on our Events Page.

Fall Parts Exchange and Volkswagen Show

Saturday, September 17th was the 3rd Annual Fall Parts Exchange and Parking Lot Sale at California Car Cover. We had a dozen local customers and friends show up to swap parts and collectibles. It was a great event and mark your calendar for our spring event sometime in May. Our website will post the scheduled date online.
During the event, one of our Golden Shine team members was on hand demonstrating our Golden Shine Car Care Products.


There were plenty of wheels, tires, bumpers, mirrors and much more on hand at the show. It was a great place to find a deal on some diecast cars. I even picked up a few t-shirts from a vendor.
Even though it was a parking lot sale and parts exchange there were a handful of classic cars in our parking lot all morning. Here are just a few of them I could snap photos of while working.



The California Car Cover canopies were packed with seasonal merchandise and discontinued products. It was a great time to find a deal on just about anything in our warehouse. We had 12 pallets of merchandise out for sale. We only host this event twice a year, so we really bring out the merchandise and the savings.




As soon as the sun came out, USA Tacos served up tasty tacos and tortas for customers. While the parking lot sale was winding down, the Golden Shine VW Car Show was just starting.
A group of local Volkswagen and Audi enthusiasts came to hang out at California Car Cover on Saturday afternoon. It was an opportunity for us to meet some new customers and interact with the VW crowd. Golden Shine is a car care sponsor of the upcoming Oktoberfest car show in Big Bear, so it was a chance for locals to sign up for the show and check out the products.








Guests had the chance to sign up for the Oktoberfest event which will be in Big Bear on October 6th-8th. More details on the event can be found on Facebook.

Brandon, from the Golden Shine team, did product demonstrations for the attendees.
The group practiced the Air Ride competitions in preparation for Oktoberfest.

Thanks to everyone from Oktoberfest for coming out to support the event. We will see all of you at the fun in Big Bear in a few weeks. If you cannot make it up there I will post coverage of the event on here after the show.
