Everyone has a friend or a member of the family who is a car nut.  You know the type.  They can be found at the laser wash every day during break up and they just got through spending four grand on tires and rims.  (You can't lose with 22s)

With Christmas about 6 weeks away, it's probably time to start getting your car nut ducks in a row.  Here's a list of gifts you may not have considered for yourself or your auto enthusiast friends:

  • A complete auto detail.  A clean car is a happy car and the pros know to go to   Walrus.
  • Window tinting.  There really is only one place in Anchorage to get this done:     Shades of Competition.
  • Get those darned door dings taken care of.  Are you in the Valley?  Go see Steve at  - Metal Creek Auto Body 907 745-3105.  Folks in Anchorage need to talk to Robbie at  - Alaska Custom Refinishing.       907 337-8222.
  • Restore your rims.  Are your aluminum alloy rims goofed up by curb rash and other minor assaults?  Get them refurbished at  -  The Wheel Warehouse.  Now, they're not local so if you're going to get it done, you should get in touch with them very soon.
  • Get those windshield chips fixed.  Give the gift of sight.  Call  - Speedys and get it done!
  • An Auto Start.  Ok, so maybe you have thought of this one. -   Safe and Sound will do it right and they have Anchorage and Valley locations!
  • Auto paint shield.  Protects the leading edge of your hood from rock chips.  Virtually invisible! contact your local dealership service department for details
  • Repair that leather.   - Dr. Vinyl has the local reputation of repairing upholstery right.  Use the folks that the body shop pros use, Call Dr. Vinyl!
  • Load up a car wash gift card.   - Rainmaker Touchless Car Wash will hook you up. 907 349-2943
  •  Heated seats.  Absolutely nothing like it in the winter.  Get them installed at - AKCarToyz.

This should get you well on your way to becoming the best gift giver in your circle of friends.  Enjoy!
