Car Audio Centre is a pioneer of car audio retail and distribution in the UK, with more than 20 years experience dealing with top end car audiovisual, alarms and accessories. We know what products sell and how to retail them for the highest profits for our franchisees.

We sell respected brands from America and Japan alongside our own high-end brand of car audio and car visual products.

Thousands of customers from across the country trust us as their main supplier and fitter of the most sublime kit available anywhere in the market, and we get the best prices from manufacturers so franchisees can offer the latest technology at value!

Car Audio Centre offers three franchises to suit every level of enthusiast and enthusiastic business owner:

Car Audio Centre Retail Store Franchise

Open a Car Audio Centre Retail Store and join our existing national retail network. Our stores are ultra modern car audio and car visual showrooms that sustain a high level of profitability on high volumes of sales.

Enjoy additional income from fitting car audio in a workshop or through a mobile engineer.

Car Audio Centre Retail Conversion Franchise

This option allows owners of a car audio store to convert it to Car Audio Centre for better range, healthier margins, national marketing and a national retail image.

If you want to enjoy the support and benefits of trading with a national brand, we will consult with you on how to convert your store to a Car Audio Centre.

Car Audio Centre Shop in Shop Franchise

Trade from a dedicated permanent area in your existing store from a few specially designed display cases and counters.

If you are already a retailer of consumer electronics or a New Car or Used Car Dealer and want to add car audiovisual to your range, this is perfect. You will require little stock as we supply low volumes by same day courier or directly to customers. You can also add mobile fitting for even more income.
