This year the 2023 Keystone BIG Show was held at Gaylord Rockies Resort & Convention Center in Aurora, Colorado. The Auto One team has found that the BIG Show provides a more focused atmosphere for finding new products and an opportunity for our customer’s favorite vendors to give us the inside scoop on new products for 2023.
Mitch Zoldowski, owner Auto One Brighton, MI, attended this year’s BIG Show for Auto One. Among the many products at the BIG Show, Mitch thought Auto One customers should give extra attention to these aftermarket accessories.

WeatherTech Child Car Seat Protector
The official WeatherTech description “Without the WeatherTech Child Car Seat Protector, your car’s upholstery doesn’t stand a chance from the wear and tear kids and their seats put on it. Child Car Seat Protector provides protection against spills, crumbs and compression damage on your fabric or leather. A high-quality construction ensures your kid’s clasped-down seats and hard edges don’t permeate your leather or stretch your cloth interior. A front flap falls over the edge of the seat for extra coverage. An anti-skid surface on the top and bottom helps prevent slipping and sliding. Contoured to your vehicle seat to provide essential protection. Side flaps are trimmable to custom-fit your area of protection.”
WeatherTech’s child car seat protector is available in black, cocoa, tan and grey colors.
CURT Brake Controllers
When you need hitch accessories, CURT brand brake controllers should be on your list. At the BIG Show, CURT had several ECHO accessories on display including the Echo brake controller manual override button, the Echo mobile brake controller, and the Echo in-line brake controller.
Visit your local Auto One in Michigan, Florida or Virginia to discuss CURT hitch accessories.
