To set the standard for vehicle technology and installation by developing experts, earning customers for life, and building CAR•TOYS into the most trusted specialty automotive service brand in every market we serve.

Mission Statement

To make every drive safer, smarter, and more enjoyable through honest guidance, quality products, expert installation, and service we stand behind.

Built by installers. Focused on Texas.

CAR•TOYS Texas provides professional car audio installation in Texas at 12 locations across Dallas-Fort Worth and Houston. We help drivers improve their vehicles with better sound, modern technology, added safety, stronger security, greater comfort, and a cleaner appearance.

Vehicle technology is our business. From a basic radio replacement to a fully tuned audio system, our team helps you select equipment that fits your vehicle, goals, and budget. We also install Apple CarPlay and Android Auto systems, remote starts, security systems, cameras, driver-safety products, window tint, lighting, and other vehicle upgrades.

A New Chapter for CAR•TOYS in Texas

CAR•TOYS opened its first Texas store in Hurst in 2000. In 2025, the 12 Texas locations came under new ownership through CTX Operating Company, led by longtime CAR•TOYS leaders Troy Parcels and Chris Pritts.

Leadership With Hands-On Experience - Troy and Chris both started their careers in installation bays before moving into store, regional, and national leadership positions. Their hands-on experience shapes how CAR•TOYS Texas operates today: give customers straightforward advice, perform clean work, support the people doing the job, and take responsibility for the customer experience.

We remain committed to the Texas communities that have supported CAR•TOYS for more than 25 years.

Why Customers Choose CAR•TOYS

Try It Before You Buy It

Our in-store demonstration rooms let you compare speakers, subwoofers, radios, and other products before making a decision. You can hear the difference instead of relying only on a product description.

Same-Day Installation

Our stores maintain dedicated installation bays and technicians. Many installations can be completed the same day, based on the job, vehicle, parts availability, and current bay schedule.

Lifetime Workmanship Warranty

We stand behind the installation work we perform for as long as you own the vehicle. If a concern involves our workmanship, you can bring the vehicle to any CAR•TOYS Texas location for inspection.

Advice Based on Your Vehicle

Modern vehicles often contain factory amplifiers, data networks, active noise control, advanced safety systems, and integrated displays. Our team reviews the vehicle before recommending the equipment and integration products needed for the job.

Support After the Installation

Our job does not end when you pick up the vehicle. We explain how your new equipment works and remain available to answer questions, inspect concerns, and help with future upgrades.
