Lafayette Custom Automotive

Martin & Shane have added truck accessories to a couple of our company trucks. He has done some custom audio systems in my personal truck. Always had a great experience and I fill like I got an affordable price for the quality equipment and the custom installation job.

LCA was absolutely amazing! Spoke with Martin about my Bronco and what I was wanting to achieve by phone… plan was made, they prepped everything they could prior to my arrival. Day of installation I was greeted by Martin and Shane, we went over the goal again to make sure nothing was changed. They pulled my car in and went to work. Throughout the install they kept me in the loop of the progress, tweaked and tuned the system to make sure it was again what I wanted. The knowledge, the skill set, the friendliness is absolutely unmatched and is exactly why I drove 5+hrs from Dallas TX to have them work on my car and is exactly why I’ll do it again.

Jessi and staff are extremely nice and personable. I've used them twice in the last couple of weeks. Their work is superb. I am going to use them for the 3rd time to install front and rear deflectors on my Chevy Malibu. I highly recommend Lafayette Custom for all your vehicle needs. Falks' recommended LCA as they couldn't accomodate me.

I found Lafayette Custom Automotive by being turned off by a competitor that made me an appointment, and when I showed up for it, I was told they don't make appointments and people were already ahead of me! I left there, and Shane at Lafayette Custom Automotive happily made me an appointment and is a true professional. He, Jessie, Martin, and the entire staff obviously love what they do and are GOOD at it. The owner, Martin, used to work at David's CB and Custom Car Stereo, where I always went when I was young, so his background is heavy in car audio and automotive customizations. I needed a sound system and alarm system installed along with high-level advice, and that's exactly what I got. I purchased a new truck, and they customized an enclosure for subs that was, in a way, an unusual request both in the area it was to occupy and the small footprint needed. They have their own CNC machine and really made it work. I couldn't be happier. I had preconceptions that were somewhat incorrect about what the best components would be. I had these from my own experience, but I also thankfully realized that I'm no pro. Shane was right. I listened to and took his advice, and it's better than I could have imagined. Go with what you want, but be guided by the staff at Lafayette Custom Automotive. My truck was so new that head units were not made for it yet so Shane upgraded everything else and without forgetting about me, has kept on the lookout for the perfect solution for me and keeps in contact about it. What more can I ask? He installed a far better alarm system than was offered at the competitor, and now that camera integration for it has arrived, I just had them upgrade that aspect. I also had them install a Decked toolbox and had them put a contact switch from the alarm system on its lid. This toolbox is the best of its kind, in my opinion. It works flawlessly with its torsion spring lid instead of gas shocks that fail. I must have more weight in it than I should, but it doesn't sag or care. It just works. When my brother needed car audio help, I naturally sent him to Lafayette Custom Automotive and to Shane. He also couldn't be happier and keeps going back for more. This outfit is high-level. They keep up with the latest tech and techniques, are serious about what they do, and are customer service focused as well. I therefore could not recommend them more. Lafayette Custom Automotive is my go-to now for everything to do with upgrades to my ride.

Avoid Lafayette Custom Automotive. I confirmed multiple times that I was ordering a hidden hitch for my Porsche Cayenne. When I picked up my car, they had installed a large, visible hitch (chipped and rusted) and cut my bumper without my knowledge or consent. I later found out the front desk employee changed the order on her own to “save me money”—something I never approved. They eventually installed the correct hitch, but the damage was already done. My bumper now has a large, unnecessary cut that will cost me around $1,000 to repair. To make matters worse, they had the audacity to tell me the bumper would have needed to be cut anyway—which is misleading. It would not have been cut where they made the visible damage; that only happened because they installed the wrong hitch. Despite all of this being their mistake, they still made me pay half of the $200 overnight shipping to fix it. Unacceptable workmanship, poor communication, and zero accountability.
