falcaineer Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Came across a post on IG today saying Adam's is now for sale at AutoZone, and has been for a month or so. Anyone else see that or know anything about it? Maybe it's only at a handful of stores, but if more/all, that seems like a HUGE supply issue and I'm intrigued how that will play out, if true.

Devon527 Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Man that would be cool if they did this at every store but I feel like they would just carry the basics and not the cool stuff we all use lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtymarcus Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Noooooooo, any auto store but autozone! If its true ill keep ordering from Adams, no tax and free shipping is better than dealing with that place. Devon527 and Bscott94 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The store manager had me keep coming in but when I was there, the hiring manager was "unavailable" I'm glad I didn't get a job there. I try my hardest to go anywhere but Autozone.

RayS Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 For those who have a Chevy dealer nearby, many of them are stocking Adam's products, don't hesitate to call the Parts department and ask if they have them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darryl.507 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 I think they should open up a dedicated store in Canada, Toronto preferably or somewhere in Canada so I don't have to pay 20 bucks in shipping.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have dealers in Canada. Also check out adamspolishes.ca and maybe you can save some there, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 I hardly ever go to Autozone. Now I'll have to go check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It definitely all adds up! Thanks Tom! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falcaineer Posted February 7, 2019 Author Share Posted February 7, 2019 Stopped by a local AutoZone here in Colorado Springs and no Adam's on the shelf. Maybe it's a regional/one-off thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NuNu Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 I know I have tried to become a stocking dealer. I own a independent auto parts store in N.C. (yes there is still a few in America) thought my chances would have been good since I’m a “little guy” but Adam’s said it was a No Go they weren’t looking dealers at this time. I order my stuff online but being around a Military Base these guys around here “want it now” and ride a hour and a half to a new Chemical Guys showroom they opened in Raleigh. I went once or twice myself and tried some stuff but ........nah I’m good, I’ll just order my products online from Adam’s I guess DaleH 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not like there’s massive numbers of dealers around everywhere. Their wholesale program definitely lends itself to retail as opposed to detailers using their products with the requirements and all in order to get a reasonable margin. We looked at it to see if it made sense for us, and it simply didn’t so we didn’t pursue it further. Now with the affiliate program having seemingly gone away without warning or notice, there seems to be larger behind the scenes changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
67's Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 I did stop at Autozone today to pick up a wiper for my kids car, no Adam's, but I was surprised to see Chemical Guys, and Jay Lenos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zw470 Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Yeah, even Walmart carries a few Chemical Guys products now. I wouldn't mind a parts store carrying some basic Adam's products. Not anything fancy like a Coating kit or Swirl Killers, but it would be nice to be able to run out real quick to buy some Tire & Rubber Cleaner or something if you run out in the middle of a detail.

Dan@Adams Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 As far as I know, we have no involvement with selling our products through Autozone, so this may be an isolated case of one local store in that particular area selling products with a wholesale account from us - if they are in fact selling Adam's products...you never know if a statement made on social media is valid and verified, or that person may have confused our products for a different brand and so on, there are a lot of variables at play. We will look into it and I'll let everyone know as soon as I find out more information. Norton and falcaineer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have any involvement with our affiliate program or its current state, but I would recommend reaching out to kourtney at adamspolishes dot com if you have any questions in regards to it.
