Rack Attack Team
We often have customers who come to us with a leased company car. These cars tend to be the typical domestic mid-sized four-door sedan like a Ford Taurus, Chrysler 300, or a Chevrolet Impala. These cars are usually purchased as a fleet, and the company provides no option for carrying your gear. But have no fear, at Rack Attack, we can get a rack onto your lease that looks good, can be removed when your lease term is up, and might even transfer to your next car with minimal additional parts!
Yesterday a gentleman came into the shop with a 2009 Chevrolet Impala. He wanted a rack that looked sharp and made his car look more sporty, while staying quiet and secure. Our solution? A Thule Rapid Aero crossbar setup with a Yakima Fat Cat 6 ski/snowboard carrier. The Aero bars, with their silver aluminum styling looked great on the car, and the Fat Cat's oval shape nicely mimics the shape of the crossbars. With this setup two snowboards can be carried with two pairs of skis, and everything gets locked up.
When this person changes into his next vehicle, the ski racks, bars, and locks will transfer over. If the next car is, say, a Honda Accord, the only change would be the 'Fit Kit'. If the next vehicle is a Subaru Outback, then the 'Foot Pack' will have to be changed. We try to make it as painless as possible, and in our stores we offer trade-in credit for the equipment you cannot take with you to the next vehicle. We also offer re-installations, and we guarantee that your next car can look as sweet as your current car!
