Since Ashley<\/strong> wouldn’t let me use a real photo of him and Darryl<\/strong> I borrowed the one below and ‘adjusted it a touch’.<\/p>\n When Ashley<\/strong> started ABTEC<\/strong> in NZ<\/strong> he was only twenty seven years old already with eleven years behind him in the car audio & alarm industry. Ashley’s younger brother Darryl<\/strong> was the first on board the ABTEC<\/strong> train and has been a major involvement in ABTEC<\/strong> ever since, doing a large majority of the installs while running the workshop in Lower Hutt<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Note the ABTEC<\/strong> Brothers below standing next to the third ABTEC<\/strong> company vehicle ever, a NEW<\/strong> (At the time) Toyota Corolla.<\/p>\n How things have changed in the last twenty years! Not only has the technology in car audio changed significantly but so has ABTEC<\/strong> as a company as well, with everything from the people over the years to the types of products and services provided.<\/p>\n There are only two things that haven’t changed over the years and that is Ashley’s passion for music and providing the best quality of service that is humanly possible.<\/p>\n Note below our ‘SOUNDS ALIVE’<\/strong> motto, the meaning behind this which is a reference to having your car audio come alive or sound alive as Ashley<\/strong> has put it. I personally love the ‘SOUNDS ALIVE’<\/strong> motto because when I listen to music in the car I like to have that rock concert\u00a0experience or feel the music, and if you have sat in my car while I listen to my music\u00a0you would know about what I mean about feeling the music.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.abtec.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/HB_ABTEC1.jpg\" "\\"HB_ABTEC\\"")
