Earmark has been locally owned and operated since 1980. While operating two stores, Earmark considers itself more of a car audio boutique. If you’ve been doing something successful for 34 years, obviously you’re doing something right. Our reputation is built by people who have chosen mobile electronics as their vocation and who have real passion for the work they do.
