About CSI Accessories — Competition Specialties, Inc.

Competition Specialties, Inc. (CSI) has been a cornerstone of the off-road and performance aftermarket since its founding in 1966. Founded by the late Steve Woomer, the company grew into the West’s largest wholesale distributor specializing in high-performance parts and off-road accessories for cars, trucks, and SUVs. Headquartered in Auburn, Washington, CSI has built its reputation over six decades by consistently delivering quality gear to enthusiasts and professionals alike.

A Private Label Brand Built for the Trail

CSI’s Performance and Accessories products span over 1,100 items that apply to both domestic and import vehicles, designed for use on the street, off-road, in racing, and for show. At the heart of the CSI private label lineup is a deep commitment to winching and recovery equipment. Whether you’re navigating rugged backcountry terrain or managing heavy loads at a job site, CSI has a solution engineered to perform.

The flagship of their recovery lineup is the Brute Series of electric winches. The Brute Series is built to exact specifications to ensure reliability in the most extreme conditions, featuring a 12-volt series-wound motor for power and fast line speed, along with fully independent and automatic braking and steel 3-stage planetary gears for high efficiency. Multiple control box configurations are available, and each winch includes both wired and wireless remote controls — giving operators maximum flexibility in demanding recovery situations.

For applications where a powered winch isn’t practical, CSI’s hand winches offer a compact, reliable option for controlled pulling and load management. Pairing naturally with any winch in the lineup is CSI’s synthetic winch rope. Synthetic rope is lighter than steel cable, providing a substantial weight reduction, and it will not kink or develop burrs that can cut your hands the way steel cables can.

Towing & Trailer Accessories

Beyond recovery gear, CSI rounds out a capable towing toolkit with tongue jacks and a broad selection of winch options suited to trailers and utility applications. These products reflect CSI’s wider mission of equipping trucks and SUVs for every challenge — from the trailhead to the worksite.

Distribution Strength Behind Every Product

As the West’s largest wholesale distributor in high-performance parts and off-road accessories, Competition Specialties supports its private-label CSI products with an extensive distribution network. Their strategically located distribution centers, full-line inventories, and 24/7 online ordering make it easy for dealers and end users to get the parts they need, fast. For off-road enthusiasts who demand gear that works as hard as they do, CSI Accessories continues to deliver decade after decade.
