Empire Covers Blog

At Empirecovers.com, we sell a wide array of quality products. These products range from car, boat, truck, and SUV covers, to floor mats, patio furniture covers, and accessories such as spare car covers, and seat covers. We are very proud to say that most of the products we sell are made, manufactured, and shipped in the United States. We have partnerships with American companies such as DuPont that make our Premier Tyvek cover and Lloyd Mats that make our custom and non custom floor mats. Some of our other American made products include the Max cover and the Sunguard cover. American made products are not only better quality, but they also help to boost our country’s economy.

The Max cover is made in the United States at our Kentucky factory. It is our most durable cover because it provides top-of-the-line protection against sun, heavy rain, ice, snow, and dust. This is also out most popular cover in areas such as California, Florida, and Texas. The Max cover also has three layers of Endura Plus protection that provides breathability, water and UV resistance. This cover is available for trucks, SUVs, vans, station wagons, and limousines.

The Sunguard cover is also made at our United States factory in Kentucky. This cover is very lightweight and provides top sun protection. It is breathable, UV treated, and non-abrasive. This cover is very popular in desert areas where there is lots of sun and little rain.

Why buy American? Producing products in the United States provides jobs for those in industries such as manufacturing, customer service, and retail. Another perk to having American made products is the quality assurance. These products have at least a ten year warranty, the Max having the best with a lifetime guarantee. We stand by our products and can assure that you’re getting the best anyone could make. Buy an American made Max cover today and support your country!

Here at Empirecovers.com, we do our best to serve all of our customers, including those who serve our country overseas. Many of our customers are serving or have served our country through the United States military at some point in their lives. We offer a military discount to those serving as well as products that help ensure peace of mind while they are away.

These brave citizens leave their families, friends, and home to serve for many months, sometimes years at a time overseas. This has increased over the past decade due the United States’ involvement in the Middle East. When these service men and women leave their lives in the States, many things they still need to take care of while they are gone. Their spouses, children, pets, houses, and even cars need to be cared for while away. To help these service men and women, we offer products that protect their cars while they are deployed.

Many military men and woman use our products to protect their cars, motorcycles, and boats while they are overseas. If you know anyone that is being deployed or is now and could use one of our covers, let us know! We would be happy to assist you in choosing the right cover. Many choose the Max cover because it is the most durable and it has a lifetime guarantee. It also protects against sun, rain, snow, ice, and dust, so it will give you top-of-the-line protection in every climate. As mentioned before, we also offer a military discount of 15% off the order, all we need is a US military email address.

The following is a review from a customer and active military member that is serving overseas.

“I love my cover from Empirecovers.com because I can take care of my car even when I’m overseas. My wife doesn’t need to worry about maintaining it, and it even gives her space in the garage to park because mine is outside. I know my car is being taken care of, which is one less thing I need to worry about. Thanks for the great cover!”

We are thankful for the opportunity to help these men and woman who give their lives to protect our Country. Providing discounts and quality products they can use to ensure peace of mind while they are away is the least we can do.

Daylight savings time is now among us, making most nightly commutes a dark one. This is can be dangerous for drivers due to decreased visibility on the road. In fact, most fatal accidents happen at night than any other time of the day. As with driving any time, alertness and common sense should also be used at night. Other than practicing safe driving skills, there are things you can do to your car to increase visibility and safety. The following are steps you can take to ensure your drive is safe in the dark.

Make sure your mirrors are clean and free of any scratches or abrasions. You should also check your mirrors for steam, frost, water droplets, or tarnishes before you start driving. Because we use artificial light sources to see at night, signs, pedestrians and other vehicles can be difficult to see. Keeping your mirror and windows clean allows you to see the road and others around you more clearly.

Your car’s light sources are crucial for driving at light. Make sure all of these lights are in proper working condition before you start driving. This includes headlights, tail lights, corner lights, signal lamps, and license plate lights. Often times we find out too late when a tail or headlight is out. After checking for functionality, make sure they are aimed correctly. Then, make sure they are clean of any debris and dirt. Dirty headlights can severely affect your visibility on the road.

A car cover is an easy way to make sure your car stays clean between uses. You won’t have to worry about cleaning before you drive because our covers keep dirt, dust and other contaminants from getting onto the exterior of your car. Follow these instructions for a safer night commute this winter!

Our covers don’t protect against this kind of flood damage, but they do protect against rain, snow, and ice.  We make a 100% waterproof car cover that is perfect for storing cars outside during the winter rainy season.  Buy a waterproof cover from empirecovers.com today!

Don’t let this happen to you this mischief night.  You should move your car inside a garage on the night before Halloween, mischief night, to keep pesky pranksters from vandalizing your car. If you can’t park it inside, a car cover would give you the protection you need to endure your car goes undamaged on this night of pranks.

Fall is one of the most beautiful times of the year in the United States as trees prepare for winter by shedding their leaves. The process of changing foliage is loved by many, as leaves change vibrant colors and eventually fall to the ground. Although beautiful, these leaves can be a bit of work to keep up.

They can clog gutters, make roads slippery, and leave behind sappy residue. In fact, if the leaves build up on your car, they can leave behind permanent stains that damage the exterior. Leaves are loaded with sap, pollen, and other acidic coatings that transfer on to the car when left for long periods of time.

If you are concerned about these fallen leaves damaging your car, the best thing you can do to ensure protection is to cover it with a truck cover or car cover. Not only will you be protecting your car from stains, but it’ll be protected from scratches from the leaves as well. Car covers are a low-cost way to make sure your car stays clean and damage free from falling leaves. It will also give you the peace of mind that your car is safe and undamaged. Covering your car will protect it against factors such as rain, dust, wind, snow, ice, sun, and other environmental issues.

I will try to share the reviews as much as possible which all of them are on the site. You like us- you truelly like us- ok that is cheesy. This is from a customer i swear

I had one of those other custom covers. You know the ones, custom cab and bed fit with the Dumbo ears. Well it got damaged and I needed a new cover. My truck is “my precious pride and joy” and I was unsure about purchasing a “less expensive” cover. I live in HOT south Florida with lots of thunderstorms. I just took the cover off today, after two weeks, expecting that I needed to wash the truck. The black interior was cool and the truck was perfectly clean on the outside! Not a spot! In the mornings lots of water is on the cover. This is either from the nights rain or morning dew. I believe the shape (angled down from cab to tailgate) helps keeps water from sitting on the cover and the cover from laying on the truck. I have a black tonneau cover that’s always a huge pain to keep really clean and spot free. Not a spot! On the downside: I can not get the cover to fit back in the bag it came in. (Sigh) I must admit, “It HAD to fit back in the bag”, was not a needed requirement. This cover has exceeded my expectations. I HIGHLY recommend the Empire MAX cover!!!
