Our Story

Built by car people,
for car people.

"We were tired of showing up to events and feeling like our car wasn't good enough. So we built the club we always wanted."

Desert Social Club is an East Valley automotive lifestyle membership — rooted in Queen Creek, Gilbert, and Chandler — founded on one idea: car culture should be welcoming. Whether you drive a beater or a six-figure build, you belong here.

  • Zero gatekeeping — all makes, all models, all budgets welcome
  • Equal parts automotive passion and desert lifestyle experience
  • Real connections with local East Valley shops and builders
  • A founders community you'll actually want to be part of
What We Do

Six ways to experience the club.

FAQ

Common questions.

Do I need an expensive car to join? +
Absolutely not — and that's the whole point. Desert Social Club was built to push back against the gatekeeping in car culture. Your daily driver, project car, or beater — all welcome. We care about enthusiasm, not price tags.
What's the Founders tier vs regular membership? +
Founders members get in at $100–$175/mo and that rate is locked in forever. You also get a permanent founders badge, priority access, and the satisfaction of being part of building this from the ground up.
How many Founders spots are available? +
We're capping the founders cohort at 30 members. Once those 30 spots are claimed, that's it — no more founders pricing. Reach out sooner rather than later.
When do you officially launch? +
We're soft launching in the next 1–2 months in the East Valley — Queen Creek, Gilbert, and Chandler. Founders members will be first to receive event invites, kicking off with a founders cars & coffee and an inaugural desert drive.
What events are included with my membership? +
Depends on your tier — at minimum, all members get cars & coffee and desert drives. Collector and above unlock track days and garage workshops. Elite members get unlimited access to every event plus concierge service.
Can I bring guests to events? +
Yes — Collector members get 2 guest passes per month, and Elite members have unlimited guest access. Driver and Founders members can bring guests to select events on a case-by-case basis.
Where exactly are events held? +
Events rotate across Queen Creek, Gilbert, and Chandler — we're rooted in the East Valley. Desert drives venture further into the Southwest. As we grow, we'll expand our footprint across greater Phoenix.
Can I cancel my membership? +
Yes, memberships are month-to-month with no long-term contracts. Annual pre-pay is available at roughly 10% off. If you cancel a Founders membership and re-join later, your founders rate will not be reinstated.
