Brothers Corey and Steve Dobben, long-time residents of Drayton, were looking for something to add to Dobben’s True Value Hardware when they joined full time after high school.
They took their passion for customizing their own vehicles, realized there might be a need, and opened C&S Auto Accessories in 2004.
Steve and Corey have grown the business from humble beginnings 10 years ago, with backup from Irene greeting customers, answering phone calls and taking messages; and Bernie in the office.
They started renting trailers as a U-Haul depot and after recognizing there always seemed to be a shortage of equipment, invested in their own fleet. The fleet now consists of nine enclosed trailers ranging from a 5’ x 10’ basic model to an 8’x 24’, as well as car haulers and dump trailers. Two of the enclosed trailers are set up to haul motorcycles, complete with wheel chocks and tie downs.
A full range of automotive maintenance and detailing products are available in store as well as a selection of accessories. Model-specific accessories such as hood protectors, grill inserts, tool boxes and truck caps, tonneau covers, running boards, floor liners, etc. (the list is endless) can be ordered in, usually within a couple days. Installation services are available.
C&S also offers window tinting services for all vehicles from cars and trucks to tractors and even big rigs (most can be fit in the shop).
Corey and Steve can customize your ride to suit your needs.
The spring of 2014 brought more changes. New state-of-the-art tire mounting and balancing equipment was added to the shop. C&S can now mount, balance and install your snow, all season, low profile and over-size tires up to 38”. For informed advice on all your tire needs drop into the store and chat with Steve or Corey.
A new website: www.candsauto.ca is up and running as of November 2014. The website will answer any questions you have about wheel configuration and features a tire application guide. It also includes all products and services available at the store.
“Spray-in bedliners are an industry leading quarter-inch thick. They really protect your truck. More information is available on the C&S website.
When Steve and Corey are not busy at the shop, Steve is a member of the Mapleton Fire Department and Corey is active in the Kinsmen club. The business sponsors the truck and tractor pull at the Drayton fair, Mapleton Rodeo and the Mapleton Custom Rodders Car Show.
Steve is married to Crystal and they have two young children. Corey is married to Gina and they are expecting a new arrival. Both families are active in the community.
“We are thankful for the support the community has given our business. We offer hometown service, quality merchandise and competitive pricing.”
