I recently visited Columbus Car Audio (Morse Rd.) to inquiry about issues I was having with a 600rms amplifier installation that had been done by another shop. From start to finish, their professionalism, expertise, and attention to detail were exceptional. When Jay came outside to inspect my systems wiring, he immediately noticed that the other shop had failed to secure the wire to my battery properly--it actually came undone just from him slightly touching it! Jay quickly wrote up a service agreement, and got my vehicle into their garage for the installers to give everything a thorough inspection. They properly fastened the cable to my battery terminal, checked the ground connection, and cleaned up the messy cable management left by the other shop. Additionally, they inspected the rest of the wiring to ensure there were no other issues. Knowing everything is now secure and professionally installed gives me such peace of mind. Columbus Car Audio went above and beyond and I can't recommend them enough. I am very gratefully to Jay and Columbus Car Audio installers for addressing these issue for me. read more

Pricing for non OEM MMI replacement on Audi and diagnostic is the same as dealer for OEM. Diagnostic cost is NOT applied to the total installation cost. Disappointed. read more

CCA was amazing. I stopped in to get some information on car dash cams and Jessica was very informative and went over all the aspects and costs of the various options. She got me scheduled 2 days later for the install. Tyler did an incredible and professional job installing it. Jessica then helped me learn the app and all of the details of the camera. Would definitely recommend 100% to anyone who needs an accessory for their car. read more

I was able to get an appointment in a short time frame. I dropped off my car for hardwire installation of front and back cameras. I dropped off at 9am and it was ready for pickup at 3 pm. It works great. great customer service and expert workmanship read more

These people are true professionals. The sales team knows exactly what they're talking about and the installers are experts. I got a sound system installed and they took time to make sure everything was installed perfectly, down to the last detail. They take pride in their work and the customer is the beneficiary. read more

Got recommended this place for service called asked about push to start the person who answered asked me why would I want to install a push to start on a Kia... excuse me first of all i'm paying for it why does it matter to you, second do you not know what's going on with the Kia Boys. Like just do your job and answer my question Horrible customer service!! read more

I had a great experience getting a car alarm installed! James M. was so knowledgeable and helpful. He really knows his stuff when it comes to car alarms and break ins! He went out of his way to ensure the alarm was installed exactly to my specifications! My car windows were smashed 3 times in a week before getting the alarm installed. No smashed windows in 5 months since getting the alarm. It seems to scare away the thieves! And the app lets me know if something is amiss with my car. Thank you James M. and Columbus Car Audio and Accessories! read more

Pricing is absolutely ridiculous. You're spending over twice the amount to get a simple powered subwoofer enclosure installed than the actual sub itself. Way better to just self research and install yourself. Absolutely ridiculous. read more

Great people. Great work. After install I had a problem programming the new radio.went back up and they fixed the problem. I highly recommend them read more

The work I had completed, ceramic coating on my Mercedes sprinter van windshield and side windows was good. Unfortunately, they have a thief that works there who rifled through my van and stole multiple items of my gear. Management was no help at all. read more

I just had a baby and desperately needed my car windows tinted to shade my sons little face from the sun in the back seat. Luckily, I came across an ad for the Black Friday deal that Columbus Car and Audio was running and signed up right away! It was the best deal on premium tint I could find anywhere around and the business is less than 1.5 miles from where I live off of Morse road. They were able to schedule me the same week, I dropped my car off in the morning and it was ready by early afternoon. Paid in advance, got to choose my tint grade when I dropped off my keys, and the associate carefully explained what grades were legal, and recommended for my needs. Every employee was super helpful, kind and polite, and they explained the after-care carefully. The tint job was extremely professionally done, and looked great! The tint has a lifetime warranty against peeling, bubbling and wrinkling, however, I don't think I will experience those things because the product they used was quality and they really know what they are doing. Even the little tiny window sections between the back door and the rear window were tinted perfectly. I would HIGHLY recommend this business if you need window tint, rims, remote start, or audio equipment installed in your vehicle. They have a big showroom with lots of in-store options for speakers, mods, rims etc. to look at and browse through too! read more

This is the best place in town for window tint. I've used them twice now and the window tint is always done perfectly. There is not much more to say, because they are skilled at the task and don't cut corners on the process. I've found they carry good products and the installers are top notch. Trust me when I say this, because I tried a competitor in town only to regret the choice. I had to go back 3 times to let them try and correct the numerous issues including significant light reflection at night, which made it difficult to see. Columbus Car Audio did it right on the first trip and effectively bailed out the competitor's attempt. CCA is now my go-to and I'll visit them first for future work. I highly recommend their location on Morse Road. read more

I don't see the value here: Many business seem to state that this is a landmark business in Columbus. From what I saw today, I didn't see how. Don't get me wrong the people that work here are courteous. They are very staight foward , but I didn't get the, we really want your business vibe. I thought it was great that that instal hitches and time as well, but it's weird to sell time at a place that's not a tire shop. Any how their prices for stalling car audio I thought we're extremely expensive, and I thought they broke down pricing was can of halh-hazard, he picked a bunch of numbers in a calculator and said that your price, Instead of like Best-Buy when they gave me a print out and detail of the cost of the wireing harness, labor and accessories, so it does not appear as some radom number. It stuck me as off when the sales person said to me "You want this installed in the car you just walked out of" I was like wow these guys are trained like secret service agents" But it also realates to some of the other post I read, Where customers were treated diffrently based on what cars that had. It's difficult to rate this business because although they pay attention to you, You can tell the store is built for people who are ready to buy know. I Think they close too early, but they tmdo advertise specials on their website. I only bumped up to 3 because there was a rep that was courteous to give a Farewell, But i won't be back because they don't seem to be a very competitively priced business. I also came back to this business and I had to lower my yeah the people are here don't seem to be knowledgeable about their competition and when they do they talk bad about the competition sales representative ask me why I did not go there and I told him Best Buy offer free installation and his response was that you're not certified and it may be somebody who sells washing machines that installs car kits is absolutely not true. because have their own installation Center and that's all they do instead of being upfront and saying they are completely either completely clueless about the competition or they act like they don't know anything to sell to make themselves look better when I was in sales I knew everything about my competition and I had 10 competitors there's not many competitors in the Columbus Market you would think they'd be more knowledgeable and or honest. What's even more interesting is Best Buy says they get a lot of customers that come in to fix problems that they've had from car audio I'm not sure if that's true or false but what I do know is that they installed my radio without a hitch and the sons of works great for $200 less than what I was going to get charge here. read more

I have had multiple remote starts and radios put in my cars over the years and always from here. I won't go anywhere else. Had a mechanical issue with a car 2 cars back and the dealership was insisting the remote start was the problem. Someone from CCA went to the dealership to prove it was not the remote start and they didn't have to do that. I love these guys. read more

Anthony, J, and Jason were awesome. I really appreciated their level of detail and willingness to assist. They took a lot of ownership, which I appreciate since details are important to me. If you are reading this and thinking about doing yourself or in the parking lot of Best Buy deciding on maybe saving more, take a moment and consider what a group like these guys can provide. The facility was great and the attention was even more. I had a brand new truck and I wanted to make sure I put it in the hands of someone who would treat it the same. Everyone there cared just we muchThank you! Returned today to again get some great service and new speakers. Once again impressed. Thank you guys! read more

Quality Installation, Great Customer Service and Great product selection. If you're like me and want best of the best, check these guys out. Best doesn't mean cheaper, but there's something to be said for superior workmanship and service. Go see the Pro Jay Cook! He hooked me up with speakers with skulls on them. read more

I drive a 2004 Toyota Corolla and my CD player stopped ejecting. Lo and behold, I now have a super radio/CD player (Pioneer), complete with Bluetooth and all sorts of listening options thanks. Our salesman was James. He helped my husband decide on the model and gave both of us a wonderful tutorial along with a promise to help if anything should go wrong. The lifetime warranty really sealed the deal for me. Customers are treated with respect and care at Columbus Car Audio & Accessories, and James exemplifies this outstanding customer service. James deserves a raise! read more

I had my rims refinished (all 4). it was expensive but I did get what I paid for. I have a 2015 Lexus and the rims look brand new. Although the process was expensive it was less the cost of 4 new Lexus rims. I did receive my vehicle before the original promised date. Tony (the rim guy) did an excellent job in getting my vehicle to me ahead of schedule. read more

I Scheduled a simple tint job to be done at Columbus car audio. I've had other cars done here previously and have been happy with the work. Apparently like most things, quality and customer service have gone the way of the t-Rex...and the quality of representation in the shop is on par with the representation and intelligence our nation is being lead by. I was told the car would be ready between 4-6...the shop closes at 6...call at 5, car isn't done. I live 30 min from the shop so I figure to make it there by the time they close I'll just leave at 530 to pick up the car. I Show up at 6 and am told they have someone new working on it and he has been having some trouble with the car. And one of the rear windows...you're telling me someone is working on my car that can't figure out how to install tint on the rear window of a golf hatchback!?!? 1st of all don't leave my car in the hands of a noob without someone who can show him how to work around problems. And if it's taking him this long, pull him off the job and get someone on the project that has an iq higher than the number of digits on theihands that can do the work. A tint job shouldn't take someone 9 hrs to complete. I could have gone and bought the tint and figured out how to do it myself in 9 hours. It's a damn hatchback not an 18 wheeler filled with replacement windows that all need to be tinted. It's unacceptable and will not be returning or recommending this bro hub tint shop to anyone in the future. read more

I got my husbands outback detailed here for his birthday and it looks fantastic. His exact words, "it's never looked better!!" Brandon was very helpful accommodating and took me to the back where the technicians do the detail and to do a thorough inspection and ensure I was satisfied. I definitely recommend them for car detailing :) read more

CCAA NEVER DISAPPOINTS! ================================== Bought a 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee after hitting 2 deer on Xmas morning 2019. We looked at head unit options and I liked the feature of the Kenwood DDX9006XR with HD radio and wireless Apple Car Play. The head unit was pretty outdated and no firmware upgrades were released anymore. Wanting to start modding my new ride and bring it into the new century, I emailed Jayson about some options. He also installed a new radio years ago in my Impala 2011 that rocked. Professional install, no unsightly cables running everywhere, ALWAYS a pleasure spending my heard-earned money at CCAA. I know it's going to be done right and if not, it will be taken care of until it is. I trust Jayson and his crew and 100% recommend them for anything "toy" related for your ride!! read more

I purchased a trifold bed cover for my new truck, It has broken twice in the same hinge. CCA said they would replace it and 3 months later they did. I thank you for that. Upon taking my truck into their shop to get the bed cover replaced I guess they do a 21 point inspection of your vechicle. When the truck was completed with the bed cover I left only to discover they had broken my dash display I guess by pushing to hard on it. I sent them pictures, emailed them, called them. I spoke with a guy Named Ryan who said he would look into it. 3 weeks later all I got was crickets. No missed calls, no email, no TXT. Nothing. So I placed a bad review on Google and wow my phone rang. It was Ryan telling me how this is a know problem with these trucks. They were not going to fix it. It wan't broke when I took it in and 30 minutes later it came back broken. Truck is 3 yrs old with 22k miles. I baby this thing and now I have to take it to the dealership and pay them to fix it out of my pocket. If I were you as a customer, I would steer clear of this place. Forever. Jimmie Ford read more

My 400th review deserved a business worthy of five stars. I have used CCA multiple times over the years. Stereo install, radar detector, window tinting, and most recently remote car starters. I suppose I can only review the service aspect of this business. All the equipment that they provide is manufactured by someone else. The 100% guarantee of replacing, or making something right, is still about the service. When I purchased my most recent auto, I knew I wanted a remote car starter for work purposes. I went in to the store, and discussed my needs. Distance, duration, quality. I added on rear defrost and seat heater start options. The staff was very friendly, knowledgeable, and courteous. Drop off and completion of service was exactly at the time promised. Four years later and everything works perfect still. Fast forward to my wife's new vehicle, and she wants a remote start also. Just before I make my way over to go shopping for her device, a friend tells me about their black Friday deals. We put off the October project for a month. What a great deal it was. Unit and installation $79. It also came with two remote fobs. The only addition was the harness for her make and model of vehicle. There was a slight hiccup in the completion time, as no one called us to tell us it was ready. We almost missed the close of business Saturday until Monday morning. The work is always neat and factory installed looking. No dangling wires, peeling window film, scratched interior, or malay of loose wiring inside the engine compartment. I have recommended them multiple times, and will continue to pay for the right job guaranteed the first time. If still unsure, I urge you to read reviews of big box store installer horror stories. read more

Had many things done to multiple cars at the morse rd location. Most recent being an automatic start on my husbands car. These guys are amazing! Great work, great customer service! Will never go anywhere else. read more

Jay was awesome. He listened and provided excellent customer service. When it was difficult getting parts for installation and needing to reschedule Jay got it done. Jay made sure my time wasn't wasted and showed me how everything worked before I left to enjoy my Kenwood receiver. read more

Not even sure how to start this......I've had a 20 year relationship with Columbus Car Audio but almost never on my own vehicles. People for years have been talking about how Columbus Car audio has sold out, doing only factory comparable options like remote start and leather interior. I'm here to tell you, that statement couldn't be farther from the truth. Taking my 66 Impala, a.k.a. Bae somewhere besides my home was hard. This company not only treated my car like their own but did the most amazing transformation I've ever seen. HUGE shout out to Brian Hinkle and Rick, nobody else will ever touch any of my stuff. CCA for life for this guy and all my friends. Start thinking of ideas for the Lambos my friends. See you soon....J read more

Although it has been a couple of months I wanted to give a shout out to these guys. They installed a new Kenwood head unit for my Chevy pickup. The factory unit died on me, so I took my truck to Columbus Car and Audio...the unit they installed does exactly what I wanted it to do. The install was perfect and looks like a factory installation...thanks to the salesman Nathan and the installation department for a great job! read more

Best in the business. Jay has done several installations for a buddy of mine and was highly recommend. I cannot say enough great feedback. Great communication, easy to deal with, fair and honest. One of best service experiences I have had. Lifetime customer. read more

I went there with the intent of spending around 700-800 dollars on upgraded audio equipment and installation. The staff didn't seem to know what they where doing, I had explained (in detail) the issues I had and what I was looking for. Instead of giving advice and quotes like I was looking for, they trash talked what was left in my car of the audio equipment (battery, wiring, switches). I was there for nearly an hour looking at there way overpriced items before I gave up and went elsewhere. I was completely blown off when some older guy rolled up in a Mercedes-Benz with a Botox girlfriend. They instantly helped him as soon as he arrived, I've never been so insulted in my life. I guess they just don't want money from someone who's not filthy rich..I was okay spending more than what the products where worth for quality service and installation, but instead I was ignored. Money is money. read more

Great product and service! I had a remote starter system installed in my wife's car, and she could not be happier with the product. Had to wait a little long for the Saturday appointment, but that's understandable with the pandemic and ultimately the results made the wait very worthwhile. Special shout-out to James, appreciated his communications and following through with a great product and service! Highly Recommend! read more

Excellent service, knowledgeable and friendly staff, quality product. I couldn't be happier with the experience. Not only were they able to do the installation in a day, but the final price turned out to be less than what was quoted. I definitely recommend!! read more

Jay does all my stereo and video work. They did my video system in my truck and horse trailer as well as my boat and Jeep.

I've been doing business with Brian Hinkle over here for the better part of 10 years. Today, after receiving top notch "roll out the red carpet" customer service yet once again, I realized I've been getting this service from day 1! If customer service, competitive prices, product knowledge and doing what they say they'll do is important, save yourself the time and call Brian. This guy is on a different level than his competition. read more

I've had a couple install / repair jobs done at CCA in 2018 and the team always does a great job. The equipment options are spot on for all types of customers. I will be back as often as my wallet allows! read more

These are the best guys ever. Very professional, friendly and know their stuff. I've never met a more qualified staff. These guys helped me out in a pinch and after hours. I have never had better service than this in my life. Forever going to chose Columbus Car Audio. Please give them a try, you will never regret it. Ask for Denny, tell him Jaime O sent you. Thank you so much! read more

Went in to get a 1 way remote starter installed on my 2017 SR5 Toyota 4Runner. Was in and out in under 2.5 hours. Brian is the man. He made it quick, efficient, and professional. Been working with him for a few months on numerous vehicles I sell and he never fails me. Continue to do business for years with Brian! read more

I drive a convertible, and I've always hated the tiny, low-performing factory speakers!! (I log a lot of miles for my job, and my music just never seemed loud enough on the highway.) CCA changed all of that. Jayson worked with my budget, and in 2 days, got me the best new system. He even met with me a week later to see how it was going. My music sounds brand new and the commute is fun now. Highly recommend. read more
