The Canadian automotive aftermarket industry will once again gather this summer for the return of the Stan Kingshott West Coast Classic Golf Tournament, taking place on Monday, August 10, 2026, at the Vancouver Golf Club in Coquitlam, BC.

The event is presented by Lordco Auto Parts and CARPAK Distributors. 

The West Coast Classic is one of the premier charity golf tournaments within the Canadian automotive aftermarket sector, bringing together industry professionals for a day that combines sport, networking, and charitable impact. 

Proceeds from the tournament have supported a range of BC charities in the past, including JDRF Vancouver, Alzheimer Society of BC, High Fives for Kids Foundation, BC Lung Association, Autism BC, Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus Association of BC, Ed Coates Memorial Foundation, and Family Services of Greater Vancouver.

These contributions continue in honour of Stan Kingshott, founder of CARPAK Distributing Corp., whose philanthropic values remain central to the tournament’s mission. 

Stan Kingshott’s legacy of community support continues to guide the tournament, which has become a meaningful tradition for industry partners committed to giving back. 

Brian Kingshott, President of CARPAK Distributors and son of Stan Kingshott, says, “This tournament is more than just a day on the course, it’s a living tribute to my father’s belief in the power of our industry coming together year after year to support these vital charities. 

The enduring success of this event is a testament to the generosity of Lordco Auto Parts, the Coates family, CARPAK Distributors and the entire automotive industry. It is truly a privilege to host this tournament in Stan’s memory and to see his spirit of giving continue to thrive through this collective cooperation within our automotive community.” 

Ian Coates, Vice President of Sales at Lordco Auto Parts, added, “Lordco is grateful to be the presenting sponsor of the Stan Kingshott West Coast Classic golf tournament. It is a great day of comradery and hospitality, but more importantly, we bring the automotive aftermarket community together to raise funds for a collection of deserving Greater Vancouver charities. We look forward to the tournament day each year to pay tribute to Stan, have a great day on the course and do some good in the community.” 

Participants will take part in 18 holes at the Vancouver Golf Club, the oldest golf club in British Columbia’s Lower Mainland, while contributing to a wide range of charitable initiatives.
