Making waves in the car business
Location:
1116 Airport Drive,
Bakersfield, CA
Local businessman John Getty has opened Sound Waves, a new business at Airport Drive and Wilson Road that offers everything cars. He's building on a wholesale business he's had for years. While it's been open since Jan. 2, he's having a grand opening and ribbon-cutting at 1 p.m. Friday, Feb. 29. The store is open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday at 1116 Airport Drive. "A lot of the neighbors have come in already," Getty said today. And neighbors are part of the story. Getty said he bought up property that included a long-standing vacant commercial building and two run-down houses. He's spiffed up and remodeled the houses and rented them out, and refurbished the business building. So what can you buy? A sampling: Aftermarket car and truck accessories, including alarm installation, bed liners, running boards, GPS navigation, tool boxes, reverse safety systems, chrome accessories, car audio and hands-free cellular equipment. — Christine Peterson 5 comments from 5 users

I checked out the new Sound Waves business a few weeks ago. The quality and variety of truck and car accessories in his show room blew me away. John has a great set up where you can watch your vehicle be transformed before your very eyes. John is a is a great guy and treats everyone with respect, like a good friend should, I know because he is my neighbor, and that's just the way he is. posted by
