Our Story

12 Years and Still Growing
Over a decade ago, with the basic idea of giving mechanics and do-it-yourselfers a one-stop-shop for their tools and equipment needs, our original distribution company called CARQUIP, the predecessor to GES was formed.

Being able to save on heavy tools and equipment with quick and efficient delivery and free nationwide shipping was popular from the start. Our first CARQUIP catalog that featured primarily lifting products was mailed in 1996. Not long after, our customers were asking where they could find wheel service equipment and fluid service tools, frame machines and more. We quickly responded by expanding into tire changers and wheel balancers, alignment and front-end tools in addition to parts cleaners, tool storage and bench systems. This led us into serving every facet of the vehicle maintenance marketplace and within a few years, we were serving over 350,000 businesses nationwide.

Garage Equipment Supply is Born
CarQuip had experienced tremendous growth in the early years while consistently developing efficiencies in order processing and customer service. With a strong focus on cost cutting measures in distribution and transportation, we introduced some of the most forward thinking order processing technologies in the industry. Because of this we were able to pass on these savings to our customers which quickly catapulted our sales faster than we could have ever imagined. Customers wanted convenience and value and we were happy to give it.

It quickly became apparent that we had out-grown our company name. CarQuip was no longer appropriate considering the extensive array of products and services that we offered to our growing customer base. CarQuip grew to be more than just a localized specialty distributor but rather a nationwide tool and equipment superstore, the latter which soon became the anchor text for our new company logo and business statement.

The emergence of our new name Garage Equipment Supply and the GES logo was introduced in 1998 to reflect the broad scope of our product line and services. At that time we also relocated our corporate office and distribution center to a larger facility in Moorpark, California. The new expansive distribution center specially designed for GES also houses senior sales and marketing management and is home to our renowned programming and engineering groups.

Wide Variety of Products to Chose From
Over the years, Garage Equipment Supply has developed a skill for selecting the right products and offering them to our customers in a way that makes it easier to shop. Our website, catalog and friendly order desk makes it easy to find what you’re looking for fast. In recent years we have further expanded our product offering to appeal to the growing DIY market for home/hobby enthusiasts. Our approach is still the same; sort through all the available products and handpick the best ones. Doing so saves our customers time and money. We now offer over 12,000 different items which are all available on-line or in our master product catalog - and, if we don’t have it, we’ll do our best to find it for you.

Our People Are Key to Great Service
GES continues to grow, thanks to our hard-working, dedicated and experienced employees, who understand the products, how they’re used and what to expect from them. They are friendly and knowledgeable and make your ordering experience fast, accurate and memorable. Whether you order by phone or through our web site, every order is shipped with great care and speed.
