The people doing the hardest jobs deserve better tools.
That belief is the whole company. Our customers work tire bays, service shops, and industrial floors, where safety matters most and the products often haven't kept up. We built CHAOS to close that gap.
Our story
Richard Thomas and Chau Nguyen started CHAOS in Phoenix more than thirty years ago. What began as a one-person operation now supplies some of the largest automotive service organizations in the country.
What we make
Safer alternatives to the old automotive chemicals, plus PPE and eyewear built for the bay. Most of it started as a customer problem. Prep N Stick, our patented wheel-weight adhesion promoter, was developed with the largest independent tire retailer in the country to stop weights peeling off and causing comebacks. Bubble Check replaced the soap bucket with a faster, more reliable leak detector.
These came from the shop floor, not a lab.
Our chemicals and tools are USA-made, cost-effective, and built for real conditions, held to the highest safety and environmental standards, including California Prop 65 compliance.
What drives us
Not growth for its own sake. Impact. A company where the work is driven by purpose, the learning never stops, and doing right by the customer and their crew comes first.
If we can make a tech's job safer, easier, and more effective, we've done ours.
