Our story

CarLocker was founded after Roger Thrun noticed there wasn't a great place for him to store his 911 in St. Pete. After asking other people with higher end cars where they keep theirs, he always received the same answer, "I don't have a place, but if you find one let me know."  After establishing there was a need Roger set out with his son, Sam, and CarLocker was born. St. Pete's classic, luxury, exotic car storage, detailing and consignment center.

Our history

We opened our beautiful facility doors in November of 2022, fostering many great relationships in the community already. CarLocker is a big supporter of Karts4Kids, which benefits John Hopkin's All Children Hospital, and their research into concussion treatments, specifically from youths with sports related concussions. As a first responder owned business, the community around us is something we work on building up and adding to. This started with our $2 Million dollar renovation, creating jobs by choosing St. Pete as our home, and now supporting local charities and research to help pediatric patients recover from their concussions. 

Our team

Our team of car enthusiasts is a diverse and bilingual group. Not only do we all share a love for cars, but each team member brings a level of expertise and fun to the Car Locker® family!
