In exciting news for our loyal community, Car Toys Inc., the 38-year-old Washington-based specialty retailer and the nation's largest independent car audio and electronics powerhouse, is embarking on a vibrant new chapter. We've proudly sold the majority of our stores to a dynamic group of tenured employees and trusted local competitors, ensuring the Car Toys legacy of excellence lives on stronger than ever.
As pioneers in outstanding customer service, unbeatable selections, competitive prices, and top-tier installations, we've built lasting connections with our employees, customers, and communities over nearly four decades.
This thoughtful transition celebrates our roots while fueling future growth:
- Foss Audio and Tint is stepping up to acquire six stores in Colorado, combine brands in Western Washington with 12 locations in the puget sound, and our Upfitting Facility in Portland, Oregon—keeping the high-energy vibe alive in these key regions.
- Troy Parcels (a 27-year Car Toys veteran) and Chris Pritts (14 years of dedication) are taking the wheel for eight of twelve stores in the Dallas-Ft. Worth market and all four in Houston, blending their deep expertise with fresh momentum.
- Don Longworth (16-year veteran) and Raul Shakarov (25 years strong) are acquiring five of six stores in the Oregon market, promising seamless continuity and innovation.
- Drive-In Autosound will energize the Colorado Springs North location with their local passion.
- Selway Sound dba Aspen Sound is set to amplify both Spokane, Washington locations, honoring our shared commitment to superior sound.
This evolution underscores our unwavering dedication to you—your favorite Car Toys experiences, expert installs, and community spirit are here to stay. Stay tuned, we're now an even better way to go!
