Meet Chris Odell: The Car Audio Maestro at Crowell Brothers Automotive Service

May 16, 2025

If you've ever cranked up your favorite playlist in your car and marveled at the perfect clarity and bass, you know that great car audio is more than just speakers—it's an art. At Crowell Brothers Automotive Service, we’re proud to have a true artist in-house: **Chris Odell**, our resident car audio expert with more than 30 years of experience in the industry.


### From Grays Harbor Audio Works to Crowell Brothers


Before joining us, Chris owned and operated **Grays Harbor Audio Works**, a respected name in the Pacific Northwest for high-end car audio installations, custom sound systems, and electronics work. His reputation for precision and quality made him a go-to for both audiophiles and everyday drivers who wanted their vehicles to sound better than ever.


Unfortunately, like many small businesses, Grays Harbor Audio Works closed its doors during the COVID-19 pandemic. But what felt like an ending opened a new chapter—and a new home—for Chris at Crowell Brothers.


### A Legacy of Sound and Service


Chris has been part of the Crowell Brothers family for the past **three years**, bringing decades of specialized knowledge in automotive audio and electronics. Whether it’s upgrading a factory system, installing a subwoofer, fine-tuning a complex sound setup, or solving electrical quirks, Chris combines technical mastery with a craftsman’s touch.


His approach is simple: **do it right, do it clean, and make it sound amazing**.


What makes Chris stand out isn’t just his deep understanding of audio systems—it’s his commitment to the customer. He listens (literally and figuratively), customizes every job to the driver’s needs, and never cuts corners. That’s why customers trust him, and why we’re lucky to have him on our team.


### Why It Matters


At Crowell Brothers Automotive Service, we’re more than just mechanics. We care about your whole driving experience—from performance to comfort to sound. And thanks to Chris, we can deliver that high-end audio experience right here in-house.


Whether you're restoring a classic car, upgrading your daily driver, or chasing that perfect concert-hall quality in your truck, **Chris Odell is the guy you want on your side**.
