Our new “SHOP LOCAL” Trunk Mat supports local spending to help Mom & Pop businesses grow! Locally owned small businesses are the backbone of America.

Dave and Leez Garlock had a novel idea and created The Trunk Mat Company 30-plus years ago — right out of their dining room! Dave had the vision that customer service and locally sourced products would help Mom & Pop garden centers survive the big box trend rising in the ’80s. He believed offering a free trunk mat to protect the customer’s vehicle would increase return business.
Just think of the return on one 30-cent mat by creating one loyal customer. It only takes one customer to pay for your trunk mats!_fmt.png)
Our American-made Trunk Mats help shape your customer’s spending, help build financially strong communities and, most of all, shows your customers how much you care.
The Garlock Family would like to thank all our loyal Mom & Pop customers. You have helped one family build their American dream.
