What Our Customers Say
Who we Are
--As the legend goes, back in the distant year of 2022, the Updyke twins — Jack and Cole — built their very first horn just for fun in their garage.
When their old friend Benny Honkers dropped by for a visit, he was caught completely off guard by the blast — and almost immediately after he landed back on his feet, the three friends decided to start a company called HonkUp!--
That’s the honest truth!™
But seriously —
We’re not a big corporation. We’re just a close-knit, independent team that loves tools, sound, and making things that make people smile (or jump a little 😄).
Every horn is assembled, tested, tuned, and packed by hand right here in the USA
Our goal is simple: to make quality products that are fun, reliable, and built with pride.
When you order from us, you’re not just buying a horn — you’re supporting real people who still believe in hard work, loud laughter, and doing things the right way.

--Because the internet says every store needs a ‘proper marketing paragraph,’ here’s ours — even though we’d rather be blasting horns--
