Special-Order Accessories & Installation
Special-Order Auto Accessories in Burlington, NC
Custom-order accessories for cars, trucks, and Jeeps, sourced and installed in Burlington. Most special-order accessories are fitted within 24 to 48 hours, so you're back on the road fast.
When You Need Special-Order Auto Accessories
Some builds call for a part that just isn't sitting in a warehouse. Maybe it's a specific trim level, a hard-to-find bracket, or a Jeep accessory made for your exact model year. When that happens, we order it, fit it, and get you back on the road without sending you to a full body shop for a simple upgrade.
Burlington and Piedmont Triad drivers come to us for special orders for reasons like these:
- A trailer hitch installation that needs a fifth wheel hitch rated for your specific truck and towing setup
- Truck bed liner installation in a spray-in Rhino liner your dealer doesn't stock
- LED light bar installation and auto lighting installation matched to your grille and wiring harness
- Power step installation or running board installation for a trim level your factory dealer skipped
- Custom seat covers, truck storage drawers, or van shelving installation sized to your exact cab or cargo layout
- Roof racks and carriers or hitch-mounted cargo carriers built for a rack system your vehicle wasn't originally equipped with
Why Choose Us
Why an Accessory Specialist Beats a Full Body Shop
A collision repair center is built around insurance estimates and structural repair. That's a different job than fitting truck accessories or handling automotive customization, and it usually means a longer wait for something that doesn't need that level of overhead.
Choosing Cars & Truckware for your special-order auto and truck accessories gets you:
-
Faster turnaround since accessory installation is our daily focus, not a side job
-
A shop that already knows sourcing, so special orders move quickly once they arrive
-
Free estimates before you commit to a part or a price
-
Walk-in appointments for quick questions or simple installs
-
The same team handling your accessories that also handles auto glass repair and insurance claim work, if your vehicle needs both
-
Top-brand products instead of generic aftermarket guesses
How It Works
From Special Order to Installation
Most customers walk in with a specific accessory in mind, or a problem they want solved. Either way, the process stays simple and the timeline stays short.
- 01
Consultation and Free Estimate
Tell us what you're after, whether it's a bed liner, a light bar, or a full storage system. We'll confirm fitment for your make and model and give you a free, no-pressure estimate on the spot.
- 02
Placing Your Special Order
Once you approve the estimate, we place the order with the manufacturer or distributor. We'll give you a realistic timeline based on the part, typically landing within a few business days.
- 03
Scheduling Installation
When your part arrives, we schedule your auto accessory installation around your calendar. Most special orders are installed within 24 to 48 hours of arriving at our Burlington shop.
- 04
Final Fit and Walkthrough
Before you leave, we walk you through the new accessory, check the fit and function, and answer any questions about care or use. If it involves wiring, like trailer hitch wiring or an LED bar, we test it before you drive off.
Why Burlington Drivers Trust Cars & Truckware for Auto Accessory Installation
For over 30 years, Cars & Truckware has been the shop Burlington and Piedmont Triad drivers call for accessories that go beyond what a dealership or big-box store can handle. We back that reputation with real experience across glass, body work, and customization.
-
Top-Brand Products, Fitted Right
We carry and install top-brand accessories, from Rhino bed liner systems to name-brand lighting and storage products, and we fit everything to your exact vehicle instead of forcing a universal part.
-
Insurance Claim Experience
Many of our customers arrive through auto insurance claim repairs after glass or minor body damage. We know how that process works and can coordinate accessory installation alongside any claim work your vehicle needs.
-
30+ Years of Automotive Customization
Founded in 1991, we've built a reputation on word-of-mouth and repeat customers, not paid advertising. That reputation comes from getting special orders right the first time, every time.

Been using these guys for over 20 years they have did everything from light body work to putting on step rails and bed covers. I have always been 100% satisfied with their work. I've read some of the negative reviews here and they would not have done damage to a car and not fixed it Barry is a honest and straight forward person.
