Sturgess Customs sits in Lexington, a short drive from most of Columbia. Columbia customers make up a meaningful share of the work we do, and this page routes you to whichever service page fits your project.
The shop sits at 4262 Augusta Road in Lexington, which puts us roughly a 20 to 25 minute drive from central Columbia — closer for anyone on the Cayce or West Columbia side, a bit further from Forest Acres or the Northeast side. That drive is the trade Columbia customers make in exchange for a specialty shop that does custom audio, safety, lighting, and remote start work under one roof rather than routing between two or three shops for a single build.
Everything on the service grid below is available to Columbia customers on the same standard as customers who drive in from Lexington itself. If you’re evaluating whether the drive is worth it, the fastest path is usually a quick call or quote request — we’ll walk through what your project involves before you commit to bringing the vehicle over.
Every primary service we offer, routing to its dedicated page. Each service page carries the full capability detail, install discipline, and FAQ specific to that category.
The Lexington shop sits west of downtown Columbia along Augusta Road. Rough drive times, allowing for typical traffic.
Drive times shift with traffic and time of day. If you’re planning a longer consultation for a bigger build, calling ahead helps us hold time and keeps the trip worth making.
A look at recent installs across Columbia customer vehicles — cars, trucks, SUVs, boats, and recreational vehicles from Columbia-area customers.

About 20 to 25 minutes from central Columbia (downtown, USC, the Vista, Five Points) via I-26 or US-1. Closer if you’re coming from Cayce or West Columbia (10 to 15 minutes); further from Forest Acres, Shandon, and the Northeast side (25 to 40 minutes depending on the specific neighborhood and time of day). Traffic and time of day shift those numbers.
Yes — Columbia customers are a meaningful share of the work we do. Every service on the grid above is available to Columbia customers on the same standard as customers who drive in from Lexington itself. The only practical difference is the drive itself.
Very likely. The same install standards apply whatever you drive, and our work is organized by the type of job rather than by vehicle — car stereo, CarPlay and Android Auto, remote start and security, backup cameras and safety systems, custom lighting, marine, and 12-volt power. Pick the service you are after from the grid above, or tell us what you are driving and what you want done and we will tell you straight whether it is something we can take on.
Everything on the service grid: car stereo installation, marine audio, Harley-Davidson audio, CarPlay/Android Auto retrofits, remote start and car security, backup cameras and vehicle safety systems, custom vehicle lighting, golf cart / UTV / ATV customization, and RV audio and customization. Columbia customer availability matches Lexington customer availability across all nine categories.
Yes — see the Columbia Project Highlights section above. That section is curated by the owner as Columbia customers give consent to feature their projects, and it grows over time as new builds come through the shop.
We stand behind the work we do. Specific warranty terms vary by system and component, so we walk through what is covered and for how long at consultation rather than posting fine print that may not match your specific install. The short version: if something we installed is not working the way it should, we want to know about it.
Whether your project is car audio, marine, Harley, lighting, safety systems, or remote start — the fastest path is a quick conversation about the vehicle and what you’re hoping to accomplish. Columbia customers make the drive; we make it worth making.
