Every year we’re on the list because every year we stive to bring our customers the best technical knowledge, the best products, and the best service.

For those of us who can’t seem to get the lead out of our feet while behind the wheel, there is a new weapon in the fight against the fuzz. Beltronics has just released their newest memeber of their outstanding radar and laser detection devices. The GX-65 actually has GPS built in. According to the company;

“It provides a perfect balance of long-range warning against conventional radar and laser guns, a North American database of safety cameras, and elimination of the number one driver’s complaint - false alarms. There is simply nothing else like it.”

Welp, we finally did it! Car Concepts is officially authorized as one of only 5 dealers in the United States to sell JL Audio gear online. Why us? Cuz we rock! But seriously, we rock. As an independent mobile electronics specialist, 12 volt is all we do. And over the last 25 years, we’ve become very good at it. JL sets extremely high standards for it’s online retail partners. (Just read the contract they made us sign - guaranteed to put you to sleep) We take great pride in upholding those standards with our local customers and are excited to give our expertise and service to our new friends all over the country. All of JL’s authorized dealers are fine businesses. All of us sell the JL Brand for the same price. When you buy from us, you’re buying from real mobile electronics enthusiasts. We love what we do and it shows. When you call our toll free number, you won’t get a customer service rep, you’ll get one of our guys, Ryan, Travis (me), Shawn, Matt, Alex, or Colby.  We hate Call Centers and endless hold times as much as you do. No more of this nameless, faceless online shopping experience… you have a friend at Car Concepts and we’ll do everything we can to give you the best online shopping experience possible. Get into JL FREE! Free shipping on any JL Audio order over $299!

*** NOTE *** There are a lot of online retailers who sometimes sell JL stuff at rediculously low prices. Be very careful with dealing with these companies. NONE of them are authorized to sell the JL brand at all, much less online. NONE of the products you buy from them carry any manufacturer’s warranty whatsoever. MOST of the serial numbers on the products are defaced or removed (illegal in many states) so JL can’t trace them. Don’t risk it, man. Buy from a legitimate dealer and buy from Car Concepts! Check out JL’s online sales policy then head on over to my online store and check out all our JL Audio Gear.

Some people have heard we were closing our 3045 S State store, others are told we are going out of business. So check this out!

This is a very exciting time for us. We’ve just announced a new location for Car Concepts at 1130 South Main St. in downtown Salt Lake City.

We’ll be operating in the new building by November 1st but will continue to improve the retail space until spring, when we’ll have our big Grand Opening party along with celebrating Car Concepts’ 25th anniversary.
