I recently had Columbus Car Audio install a back up camera and a Kenwood receiver with SiriusXM and carplay. Jay set me up with a great system, install went perfectly and the car was ready before they promised. After the install, we went out to the car and he explained all the basics, and encouraged me to call with any and all questions about the new system. My car is a 2010 Toyota Venza, but now I feel like I’m driving a brand new car! Great service, and a lot less costly than new car payments! Go with these guys, you won’t be sorry.

Thank you so much for the fantastic review, Mindy! We're thrilled to hear that Jay and the team got your 2010 Toyota Venza upgraded with a great Kenwood receiver, CarPlay, and backup camera, and that everything was ready ahead of schedule. Making your car feel brand new again without the hassle of a new car payment is exactly what we love to do. If any questions come up as you get used to the new system, don't hesitate to reach out!

Went to Columbus Car Audio for a quote on installing an amp, and sub on the factory radio on my 2026 Equinox. Came back the next week walked in, they got started right away! Even drove me to Easton while I waited. They added 1 P3 and box, 1 Amp, volume knob 2 knobs on 1, and a device which can help create bass for music lacking bass (older music and classic rock) not only does it give you better quality hard hitting bass but it gives you the perception that you're overall system is louder. Everyone there is very kind and professional. Anything they can install or work on, I'm taking my vehicle here. Don't go anywhere I mean it! Oh and the icing on the cake THEY WORK WITH ACIMA LEASING.
Response from business
Thanks so much for the fantastic review! We're thrilled we could get your 2016 Equinox set up with that P3 sub, amp, and Epicenter—that setup definitely makes classic rock and older music hit completely differently. It was our pleasure to drive you out to Easton while you waited, and we're so glad you appreciated the Acima leasing option and our team's professionalism. Thanks for trusting us with your ride, and we'll see you for any future upgrades!

Absolutely fantastic job!! I had the IGLA, compustar, and drone camera installed on my TRX. Jayson and his team absolutely treated it with the highest respect and made me feel very welcomed and took his time to go over all the bells and whistles the 3 systems had, explained how they all worked. Without rushing, answered all my questions i could think of showed me other options without being pushy. When I told him I don't want a certain option he did not push he kept explaining other other 3 options I wanted to answer any other questions I could have. After the installation again Jayson and his team knocked the customer service out of the ball park by him personally showing me the 3 systems in action on my 2027 TRX. Making sure I fully retained and understood how everything works taking his time. Having the truck back now for a couple days, I can only say my highest thanks to Jayson and his team, I already loved my truck already but having the ease of mind know it is secured and the job was done perfectly, just absolutely thank you so much for everything!!

Thank you so much for the detailed review and high praise, Fermin! We're thrilled to hear that Jayson and the team took great care of you and your TRX. Getting an IGLA, Compustar, and Drone system set up properly takes time, and we always want to make sure you leave feeling completely comfortable operating everything without feeling rushed or pressured. Knowing you have total peace of mind every time you park your truck is the best feedback we could ask for. We truly appreciate your business and hope you enjoy the new setup!

In the market for a set of wheels for one of my vehicles. Someone mentioned Columbus Car Audio and Accessories. I went to three other businesses. Keep in mind that the market for my size wheel, 15" , might present a bit of a challenge; but I didn't know that. Tony Barker at CCAA, did not dissapoint. He is the consummate professional. He discussed several options with me, and he was very patient during the entire process. He's very thorough, and I appreciate that. I am enamored with my new wheels! A worthy investment for sure. Thank you so much Tony!!

I came in to get a better sound system. They recommended me a subwoofer. They took it in that evening even though it was close to closing. It was done the next morning! I was super pleased with the job they did. The lady who helped me was extremely nice and helpful. I will definitely be coming back for more work on my car.
Response from business
Hi S Cooper, thank you for the fantastic 5-star review! We know how exciting it is to get an audio upgrade, so we were happy to squeeze your car in near closing to get that new subwoofer installed for you by the next morning. We'll be sure to pass your kind words along to the team member who helped you out—she’ll be thrilled to hear your feedback. Enjoy the upgraded sound, and we look forward to seeing you for your next project!

I had a stealth hitch installed on my Ioniq5 and I was impressed during the entire process. Everyone was extremely pleasant and kept me updated over the few weeks between ordering the hitch, the down payment, confirmation of receiving the hitch, and confirmation of appointment. Took from 9am-3:30pm for installation. Spent that time at nearby Easton mall. Highly recommend!

Quoted $500 for ceramic coating. By the time they were done changing the deal, it had become $1,200 — including about $600 for “paint correction” on a brand-new car with 3 miles on it. That felt like an obvious bait and switch to me. Then came the attitude: rude employees, being hung up on, and an employee following me outside to continue the confrontation after I tried to leave.
Response from business
Mr. Band Mgr, we take customer feedback very seriously and have reviewed the call recordings from your conversations with our team members at both locations. Because we want every customer to get exactly what they need, our staff offered you several different tiers and packages for the ceramic coating and window tinting you requested.<br><br>Unfortunately, the call recordings also confirm that our associates were met with extreme disrespect and hostility when they attempted to explain these options. We require a basic level of mutual respect in our interactions and do not tolerate abusive language directed at our staff, and we stand fully behind our team's professionalism on these calls.<br><br>Furthermore, the recordings indicate that you disconnected the call with our associate, not the other way around. When we called back to ensure that we weren't disconnected, you verbatim said, "No, I hung up on you!" Finally, you imply in your review that there was an in-person confrontation outside of our shop. To our knowledge, and based on our records, you have not actually visited either of our store locations.
