Husky Liners Provides Customer Service on a Sunday

 Husky Liners Happy Customer

We like to make people happy.  In fact, our mission here at Husky Liners® is to meet and where possible exceed customer expectations.  Therefore, our week doesn't end on Friday!  OK, we won't make you read a blog post where all we do is brag about ourselves.  We'll let this recent customer email do the talkin' instead.

Dear Husky Liners,

I just wanted to let you know of a surprising pleasant experience I had dealing with technical support at Husky Liners.

On Sunday Aug 4th, I used your 'Contact Us' link to submit a note that I was having a technical issue ordering some liners for my Tahoe. I already had Husky Liners for the back and cargo area but decided to get some for the front. To my surprise I got a response back very quickly from Steve. I was even more surprised to see that he was an engineering manager. He was looking for some more information on how to reproduce the issue. Long story - short, he had the issue quickly fixed. ... and did I mention that this was all on a Sunday?

Anyway, the reason I'm writing is that I know that its difficult to know if you make a right decision. The desire to save money and off-shore your development team and customer support is powerful. I think it's great that you do it all in house and I, for one, will be a repeat customer. And I'll tell my friends. So, just wanted you to keep up the good work. ... and maybe you should give Steve the afternoon off for working on Sunday. :)

- Thom, 8/15/12

Leave a comment and tell us what your customer service experience has been like with Husky Liners?

5 Reasons You Should Have Heavy Duty Car Floor Mats

Muddy Truck

Whether you work outside and push your vehicle to the limit, or you just use your car, truck or SUV to get from point A to point B, everyone wants to protect his or her investment.  It is important to keep your vehicle as clean as possible to ensure the best resale value when it is time for an upgrade.

What's the best way to do that?  Replace your factory car mats with Heavy Duty Car Floor Mats.  They provide year round carpet protection and are available for virtually all of today's top selling vehicles. Below are the top 5 reasons you should own Heavy Duty Car Floor Mats for your car, truck or SUV:       

Heavy Duty Car Floor Mats

1. Superior Carpet Protection

Heavy Duty Car Floor Mats help keep water, mud, mess and spills off of your expensive and hard to clean carpet and on the mat.  An extra thick driver's heel pad provides years of life while the high perimeter ridges contain spills and debris. The raised ridges keep your feet out of the water, mud, and dirt. Husky Liners® manufactures the Heavy Duty Car Floor Mats with an exclusive elastomeric material that withstands most harmful chemicals including oil, gas, and battery acid.  Therefore, the car floor mats can be used and abused so you don’t have to worry about ruining them.

2. Vehicle Specific Applications

The Heavy Duty Floor Mats are vehicle specific and have features you will not find on ordinary run-of-the-mill universal (flat) floor mats, like the superior carpet protection ability mentioned above.  They are available in black, grey and tan for front, second/third seat and center hump areas in order to match the interior of your car, truck or SUV.  There are over a hundred applications of mats available, search for your specific vehicle on our website.

Muddy Factory Car Floor Mats

3. Easy to Clean

No vacuuming or scrubbing required like with factory car floor mats.  Cleaning your Heavy Duty car floor mats is a simple four-step process: Remove, hose/wipe off, dry and replace.  It is that easy!  No need to use any additional cleaners or solutions.

4. Anti-Slip Technology

Heavy Duty Mats feature our patented molded in “Nibs” on the reverse side to help keep the mat in place and prevent shifting.  This helps to enhance the mat’s overall ability to protect the floorboards and carpet of your specific vehicle.  If the mats don’t slip, then it is less likely for water, mud, dirt and debris to get underneath them and onto your carpet!

5. Lifetime Guarantee

Designed and Manufactured in the USA, Husky Liners® uses material that is guaranteed not to crack or break even in the most extreme conditions.  We are so confident in the durability of our Heavy Duty Car Floor Mats that we will stand behind it for a lifetime, not just 3 or 5 years, but a lifetime!  Read our Lifetime Guarantee.

If you are interested in protecting the floorboards and carpet of your vehicle from everyday water, mud, dirt, mess and spills, then try replacing your factory car mats with Heavy Duty Car Floor Mats.

Top 7 Factory-Finish Ways to Protect Your Truck

Hand and Pennies

Due to the economy, most people these days are keeping their vehicles longer.  Holding on to your truck for several more years usually means lower trade-in values when the time comes to finally get a new one.  Therefore, it is important to protect the interior and exterior from everyday life to ensure you can get the most from your truck and hold on to as many pennies as possible. 

Below are 7 ways you can protect your truck and keep it looking newer…longer:

1. Interior Floor Liners or Floor Mats

Floor Liner

Floor Liners are engineered to fit the complex contours of your vehicle's carpeted floorboards, trunks, and cargo areas. They are made of durable, pliable synthetic materials and have raised containment walls that will help keep your carpet clean even in the worst weather conditions. Fluid containment ribs and treads channel messes away from your shoes. This unique design keeps your feet up and out of mud, snow, water and debris.  Washing floor liners is simple.  They can be hosed off for quick cleaning, whether they're soiled with mud or a spilled drink.

Floor mats are typically thicker and heavier than floor liners. Floor mats use thick treads and a tall outer lip to contain mud and dirt while providing excellent traction for driving.

Because of their design, floor liners tend to cover more surface area than most floor mats and will hold more mud and moisture. Floor Liners are typically thinner than floor mats, yet the water-tight materials offer outstanding protection for your interior.

Floor liners are ideal for drivers who track in lots of mud, dirt and moisture, such as off-roaders, hunters, contractors and kids.

2. Mud Guards or Mud Flaps

Custom Molded Mud Guards

Custom Molded Mud Guards offer excellent protection for your vehicle's exterior doors and quarter panels. Designed using state-of-the-art technology, Mud Guards contour and form fit your specific vehicle's exterior fenders.  Full tire tread coverage and maximum length helps prevent damage to your vehicle while keeping your running boards clean and minimizing flying road debris. They include all the necessary fasteners and instructions for a quick and easy installation. Manufactured from a highly durable impact resistant thermoplastic, Mud Guards will endure extreme weather conditions for the life of your vehicle. A black textured finish and sleek contoured design provides enhanced styling for a factory look.

What is the difference between Mud Guards and Mud Flaps?  To put it simply, flaps flap and guards don't. Mud flaps generally have a single flexible sheet with a weighted bottom that gives when hit by mud or debris. Mud guards are rigid, which is better for repelling the heavier debris.

3. Underseat storage

GearBox Underseat Storage

Do you have a messy truck, full of clutter from the worksite or just everyday life?  An underseat storage solution is perfect for hiding loose items, reducing clutter and keeping your vehicle looking clean and organized. This unique storage system is engineered to specifically fit under your vehicles rear seats. Large capacity and removable dividers make it easy to store and organize both large and small items such as jumper cables, tools, car care supplies and whatever else you keep in your vehicle. The GearBox is manufactured using co-extruded materials consisting of a rigid durable substrate for strength and a soft impact-resistant surface that minimizes cargo shifting and provides noise reduction.  A black textured finish gives it a factory look.

4. Paint Protection Film

Paint Protection Film

This product is a revolutionary urethane paint protection film that is easy to install and does not ruin your vehicle's styling (body lines) like a bug shield. Protect the leading edge of your vehicle's paint from rocks, bugs, and scratches with the film. The application specific kits are pre-cut to ensure an exact fit when installed on your vehicle. The material won't crack, shrink, or yellow. Four door-edge guards are included in each Kit. This unique adhesive and installation solution make installs almost error proof. View a complete installation here.

5. Headlite Guard

Headlite Guard

Wherever you drive, from city streets to country roads, your headlights are being damaged. Over time, your headlights become pitted and chipped from the damaging effects of sand, rocks and salt. Oxidation from UV sunlight can also cause your headlights to become hazy and yellow. This damage can drastically reduce the brightness and performance of your headlights, not to mention destroying your headlight's appearance. Today's polycarbonate and acrylic headlights are very expensive to replace; costing $150 to $400 or more per headlight… and that's before installation.

Stop this damage before it starts… at a fraction of the cost. Headlite Guards are a revolutionary urethane film that is designed to help protect your headlights from the sandblasting effect of flying road debris. Testing has shown that Headlite Guard's high impact-resistance drastically minimizes this pitting and cracking, while its UV inhibitors also reduce the yellowing effect of sunlight.

Headlight polishing kits are great for removing damage. However, they also remove the thin hard-coat protective layer inherent to today's plastic headlights. With this coating gone, your headlights become even more susceptible to future damage, faster oxidation and yellowing. Well now there's an easy fix. Apply a Headlite Guard after polishing to regain this lost protection at the same time keeping you from re-polishing your headlights every other week.

Designed with the “do-it-yourselfer” in mind, these Headlite Guards are 8 mils thick, vehicle specific and pre-cut, requiring no trimming to install. They have made sure to keep installation as easy as possible. No need to spend days training or pay some “expert installer” loads of money. By reading installation instructions or watching an installation video, you could be protecting your headlights in minutes.

6. Contractors Rack

Contractors Rack

Contractors Racks offer strong protection to the exposed bedside of your cab and back glass.  Con Racks are specifically designed to fit your truck and give you the ability to transport various loads. Longer items can be angled from the bed floor and secured between the ears on the top of the Contractors Rack. Most of our Con Racks will also accommodate a standard size truck tool box. Some Contractors Racks can help keep your cab cooler by blocking the sun's rays as well as provide great protection to your truck's cab and back glass. 

When looking for Con Racks, you want to find one that is rated to support a load of 250 pounds, and bars that are channels rather than a tube making it easy to drill, wire and install light bars, antennae, signs, speakers, etc.

Find Con Racks here

7. Tailgates

Tailgate

Most Tailgates are contoured to specifically match your truck. They are easy to install and use all the factory hinge and latch points. How about fuel savings? Some louvered tailgates are half the weight of factory tailgates - helping you increase gas mileage. They are also easier to open and close - the center locking latch eliminates the need for two separate “pull” type latches found on other manufacturer's tailgates.
