In Car Entertainment, Sheffield
The UK's Ultimate Car Audio, Security and Navigation Specialists, having been voted the "UK's Best Installers" for the last Five years by the Car Audio, Security & Navigation Industry
Allow me to describe it for you:
The entrance opens into an open floor plan of nearly 420 square feet shop and the floor is covered with clean, rich-looking wood flooring. Around the store there are simple, yet well-executed displays featuring the latest in mobile audio technologies from some of the finest manufacturers around the world. We also have an onsite café with a comfortable waiting area with fresh tea and coffee as well as the daily newspaper and photo books of some of the work we have done for previous clients.
When you enter the store a member of our staff greets you wearing clean trousers and a collared shirt with our company logo. Speaking of our staff let me give you a brief rundown of some of our team members:
Mr Paul Ellis is our Company Founder and Managing Director. Paul has been involved in the mobile audio industry for more than 17 years as the Founder of SOURCE has a wealth of knowledge having started the business from the ground up, from an Auto Electrician into one of the most successful Mobile Audio/Security retailers in the UK. Before Mr Ellis gave into his passion for mobile audio he was involved in engineering, the detail-oriented industry provided Paul with the background needed to ensure that each and every system he designs exceeds the expectation of every client, and an intimate knowledge and understanding of our clients’ needs allowing him to personally adjust systems for optimum performance.
Mr Lee Rush is our Lead Sales Advisor. Lee has been involved in the mobile audio industry since 2001. His early car audio sound-off experience and love of music led him to eventually work for SOURCE. He has extensive experience in the retail of mobile audio/security products, system design and troubleshooting, having been nominated for numerous mobile audio sales/service awards. His constant dedication to understanding mobile audio keeps him on the cutting edge of all new technologies. Having travelled around the world competing in the Mobile Audio competition scene his experiences give him the ability to think differently about how to fulfill our clients’ needs.
Mr Chris Ellis is our Director of Installation. Chris has been involved in the Mobile Audio business for more than 14 years. His skill with high-end Audio systems ranges from fully integrated systems to radical Competition winning installations.
He has worked with countless different vehicles and installation applications. His approach to everything he does has always been “How can I do this better?” With impeccable attention to every detail, Chris handles every system from a basic speaker installation to a fully customized vehicle, with an amazing amount of skill and attention.
Mr Trevor Easton is our Lead Fabricator and a time honored installer with more than 15 years of custom builds experience. His exceptional skill with high-end fabrication ranges from fully integrated systems to radical highlight installations.
Trevor has worked with countless different build materials and lighting effects and is widely known in the UK, having won numerous Best Installer awards. Trevor is more at home in the workshop and you will rarely see him serving in the shop, however he is in his element when building show-winning car audio installations.
Mr Steve Pegg is working his Apprenticeship with us and is currently at motor college one day a week working towards his Qualifications.
Although Steve is our newest member of staff he has already shown a passion for our industry and with the assistance of our Fully Trained Installers he makes a great addition to our Team.
All our staff have been trained to IMI (Institute of the Motor Industry) standards and are Fully Qualified, and now working towards the ATA certification.
In the back of our store, you will find a display window. Looking through you can see our installation facility. Around the room our workshop includes virtually every tool you can imagine to handle any job. We also use this separate area for our molding capabilities such as fiberglass, carbon fiber and acrylic. Also our installation area has access to an automatic battery charger to ensure your battery is properly handled while we work on your vehicle. There are air lines, power lines and a vacuum in the work area as well as a clean work bench for our technician to work on. There is a computer in our installation center to allow our technicians to access vehicle information databases as well as using electrical and acoustical diagnostic tools. When you receive your completed installation (on time, of course) you will find your interior has been vacuumed, radio preset and clock have been programmed and all settings for your system to perform properly have been carefully handled.
We will then talk you through the work we have done walking you around the vehicle and pointing out key parts of the work completed, showing you how to use your new products and how to achieve the best from them.
In the unusual case where there may be an issue with a product or some aspect of our installation you can expect quick and proper resolution including an explanation (not an excuse) as to why it might have happened. Before merely replacing the damaged or defective part, we will determine the ultimate cause of the failure, address that, and then replace the part. This will greatly reduce the likelihood of a repeat failure.
While we are competitive with our pricing, you may in fact find certain items at lower prices in other stores or online. We are happy to discuss the possibility of price matching on comparable items (new, unmodified products with full manufacturer warranty) please be aware that when you trust us to work on your vehicle you are getting top-notch service from trained professional staff with a deep passion and understanding of audio and vehicle electrical systems. We feel this service is worth the extra money and are confident so will you.
