Car Audio Direct are one of
the UKs largest authorised internet dealers, with over 50,000 satisfied
online customers. We are the internet division of Marston Autoparts, a
company established in 1979 and have been serving the public online since
1999.
The History
Michael Organ started Car Audio Direct in September 1999. Michael had a
proven track record as a successful retail manager, and saw an opening in
the UK car audio retail market. At the time most other mail order
retailers in the market seemed only interested in pushing products without
any form of backup. Michael saw that by providing a unique blend of
marketing, advertising, IT infrastructure, and customer service and, of
course, the right products at the right prices, he could create a niche.
Car Audio Direct was born.
