Car Stuff Has been a family run business since 1993. Scott Landers started the business shortly after serving 4 years in the Navy. He began the business by renting a storage unit in South Point, OH barely large enough for 1 car. He made flyers and would hand them out at different locations and would take appointments. Inititally the only service offered was window tinting. As a following began to grow, and the demand increased, he rented a small section of a warehouse shortly up the road from the storage unit. He then started offering other services such as detailing and car audio, with no display products. The customer would have to decide what they wanted via a mail order catalog. After a year of growing and demand increasing, he hired his brother Shane Landers, and began to train him in all the services he offered at the time (Window Tinting, Audio Installation, Detailing etc.) At that time he began to offer many more services and products. After about another year and a half at this location, he began to look for a location with more room and higher road traffic. He found a location in the west end of Huntington, ironically moving back into a storage unit but this time with 4 bays and direct road frontage. One bay was used as office and showroom, and the other 3 as installation bays for all the services offered.
The move was successful, and increased the average sales volume by 300%. which in turn created a demand for more help. At that time Scott hired his Mom(Debbie Wimer) to help with bookkeeping and Jeremy Hutchison who was well known in the area as an excellent car audio installer. business began to grow again, and Scott started to look for an even better location, aftter 2 years at this location, he found a new location on route 60 in the east end of huntington, unbeknown to him at the time, this was one of the most daily traveled roads in WV.
Another positive move for the company, the business began to increase again at a rate of over 400% monthly. With this increased demand, more staff was needed. Multiple people were hired over the years, but only a few have maintained with the company, Including Megan Shaffer , Dave Stephens, Shane Gartin & Chuck Lowe. There are many other employees that have worked with the company throughout the years, that Car Stuff still has a great releationship with, some of the most impactful employees throughout the years, Jimmy Billheimer, Summer Chapman, Andrew Westcott, Alex Altizer, Brandon Elkins, Rob Damron and many others. After a few years at this location, Shane Landers had begun Managing Car Stuff, after a couple more years, Scott had made Shane a partner, and after about 9 years, he had made Shane an offer to buy out Car Stuff to explore new endouvers, in which he anxiously accepted. The business has contrinued to prosper now, for a total of 27 years, thanks to the continued support of the Tri-state community and surrounding areas.
