Carson, CA (PRWEB) December 09, 2014 -- There are about 1.95 vehicles per household in the US(1) meaning that probably every household has someone who would appreciate an auto-related gift this holiday. And, as reported in a recent study, nearly half of automotive DIYers are doing more of their own auto repair work this year than last year with the majority citing enjoyment as a key reason for doing their own auto work.(2) But one does not have to be an auto enthusiast to appreciate the affordable and unique gift list put together by the experts at AutoPartsWarehouse.com.

AutoPartsWarehouse.com’s holiday gift guide highlights affordable, unusual and useful gifts for the auto DIYer and car-obsessed; shoppers gain loyalty points, service members get discounts.

This list includes useful accessories for the vehicle, for the garage and even DIY apparel. Suitable for those who celebrate their auto lifestyles as well as those who just want a little extra something for their vehicle, this gift list is great for garage tinkerers and happy drivers. Plus, consumers who purchase these gifts online at AutoPartsWarehouse.com can also take advantage of its loyalty program.* And, active and non-active service members are eligible for discounts through AutoPartsWarehouse.com’s Heroes Automobile Gallery.**

AutoPartsWarehouse.com’s Holiday List

Auto Accessories:

#1 Bug Shields (From $50 to $250)
Available in a variety of finishes from camo to chrome, bug shields protect vehicles from bugs and road debris, as well as from stones that fly at the windshield, causing body/windshield damage or worse. Custom molded for a direct fit, they mount away from the hood for easy cleaning and maintenance and they are easy to install, no drill required. For more information: Click here

#2 Car Covers: ($35 to $500 +)
A great way to keep vehicles protected from the elements (tree sap, bird droppings, salt water damage, etc.) -- especially for those DIYers who have filled their garage with tools rather than cars. They also help resist rot and mildew, offer great heat insulation, and are treated for extra UV protection. Covers are available for most vehicle brands and makes. For example, the Covercraft Block-it car cover costs under $200 and is made of 3 layer polypropylene fabric and is naturally moisture resistant which will help protect the vehicle’s finish. Soft to the touch, it will not scratch clean paint or clear-coats and is easy to use and less bulky for compact storage. For more information: Click here

#3 Sun Shield ($30-$50)
An affordable gift, essential for those who live in ‘sunshine states’, interior window covers are designed to reduce interior temperatures by reflecting the sun’s damaging UV rays. No installation or hardware required, just roll the shield into place. Most fold for easy storage.
