Rock & Roll

Heard about this place from a friend and was I ever glad! I showed up at a little after 9 a.m. to see if he would install a back up camera I’d purchased from Groupon. He took it right in and told me he’d have it done in 2 hrs. I returned in an hour and 15 minutes and he was pretty much through. He also stated if I had any problems to just bring it back. I am completely satisfied with the installation and the kindness he showed to me while I was there. He’s a great guy and knows his stuff.

I’m going to echo most if not all of the other reviewers here.
I took my 2006 Jetta in for service at OnTrack (my regular mechanic) following a battery drain incident kinda scared me a little. Mike at OT checked everything and found that my car stereo (installed by BestBuy back in 2008) wasn’t wired in correctly. I’m not a Car Person, but from the way Mike explained it the person who installed it piggybacked off another terminal instead of wiring it properly. He referred me to R&R.
Well! Ron was absolutely terrific. He had a bunch of other jobs he was working on, but took time out to inspect and re-​install/​re-​wire my deck. Only charged me $ 50 and was more than happy to accept my Visa card as payment. Yay!
Ron doesn’t really have a website per se, so I want to make sure to spread the word that the guy is awesome. My stereo works amazing, and no battery drainage issues. I don’t believe he sells car audio, but he is more than happy to install it for ya. So yup, I’ll probably be going to Best Buy to BUY my next deck but I’ll be having Ron install it for me rather than the so called Geek Squad. KC
PS — I selected «Bike Parking» because he’s super close to the Burlingame train station which does have bike parking!

Came in to get a $ 100 deck installed. Ron and his friends were great… incredibly friendly, fast quality work, and a fun vibe in the shop. You’d think I’d been a loyal customer for years and was dropping serious cash by the way I was treated.
I’ll never go anywhere else.
Thanks guys!

Ron carter is a reliable, courteous, friendly and very knowledgeable. Reasonable when it comes to labor and backs up his work. Dont think twice when considering this business. He is the real deal!

Asked Ron about back up camera installation due to my kids backing into hard items, No more bodyshop visits now. The backup camera he suggested and installed is built into the rearview mirror and he wired it to operate when vehicle is put into reverse
AWESOME!!!

Now I’m bringing my 5^th vehicle to Ron! This time for a full rewire of my classic vehicle. This guy is the best. Anyone needing a retire for their vehicle this is the ONLY guy to go to.

Was referred over by a mechanic friend to help with a security code issue with my mom’s car and they got what I needed in a matter of a few minutes. They also didn’t want any money… a rarity these days! Honest and competent. And highly recommended!

I highly recommend Ron. He did a great job fixing up the mess I made trying to self install a Sirius radio and GPS unit. The work was perfect, price was fair and he is a friendly guy to boot. Will be returning with another vehicle in the future.

I had my 1968 Plymouth GTX sound system upgraded to an all-​new amplified sound system that connects directly to my iPhone 5. A big bonus is that I control the sound system DIRECTLY from my phone! No onboard controls that would take away from the classic vibe of my car. I would highly recommend Rock and Roll to anyone looking to upgrade their car’s sound system.
I’m looking into Bluetooth installation for my next project and would go to Rock and Roll to get it done!

My wife. Drives the gkids daily and really needed a back up cam. My mechanic Honza said Ron is the OnLY guy to see. Went there– ordered the right unit and did a perfect install. Works awesome. I wouldn’t take any interior electronics work to anyone else. I highly recommend!!!

Tested my stereo on the same busy day that I walked in & didn’t even charge for his time. Definitely will go here to get the new one installed.

Ron is a good guy and offers fair prices on getting a car stereo installed. This isn’t the store of your youth where it is all a bunch of guys standing around huge walls of decks and ‘banging’ systems. Just a humble shop with a smart owner who works to make sure you leave happy.

Rock n Roll is the greatest! In the years that I have been going to Ron he has rewired doors, lights, trouble shot and installed for me. I have sent 8 of my own cars to him (including parents) and have referred countless friends and family. Everybody always has a least one thing in common when done dealing with Ron and that is they always leave happy!
Ron has also rewired a boat and a few trailers for me! Yes! I said boats and trailers!
Bottom line is the Guy Is gifted with natural talent and knowledge of almost anything car related and if he isn’t sure about something he will point you in the direction of an answer. Put simply the dealerships send him the complicated work for their own cars.
Rock n Roll is your one stop shop. I have also used his tire and body work guys.

I had to write a review because this shop helped me out with great service at the right price. I had a cheap cd player that I needed installed in my old honda civic. My CD player was stolen so the last thing I wanted to do was pay to get the new one installed. After a quick chat and telling my story to the owner, he installed my new CD player perfectly at the cheapest price I could find in the Bay Area. The shop clean and the vintage items are very cool. He even preset my radio to my favorite station 107.7 The Bone.
Thank You, Rock and Roll

My car stereo stopped working and he fixed it in five minutes. He did not charge me at all
I will be going there again when I need service or stereo upgrades

My car alarm fob was broken and needed to be replaced. After dealing with the manufacturer’s very slow and dated website and getting the run around over the phone, I ended up giving Rock & Roll a call because it was local. Ron told me to swing by so he can check it out.
Within 15 minutes, Ron managed to not only find me a replacement fob, but also sorted out the alarm wiring under the dash which could have caused problems. He knows his car alarms. We never discussed the pricing and he just charged a little over the cost of the replacement fob and I was happy with that.
If I ever have problems with car alarm or car audio, I’m definitely going back to Ron to discuss options.

I recently purchased a new/​used car. I was excited to get this new/​used baby on the road, and listen to some tune but when I reached over to plug in my iPod I couldn’t locate the auxiliary port.
Ok, where did they hide it?
April Fools! No iPod jack.
I asked around and was told since my car had navigation that installing a iPod kit would probably not be an option. At this point I sought advice from my trusted mechanic. He highly recommended that I head over to Rock and Roll and speak with Ron.
Ron took a look at my car and within minutes found a solution and ordered a kit. A few short days later he called and told me that the kit had arrived. I dropped my car off and within two hours my car was finally equipped with an iPod kit that not only works, but works way better than I ever imagined.
Reasonably priced and exceptional service. This place is a must for any of your cars audio needs.

I own a 1956 Chevy P/​U and was looking for a shop to re-​wire my whole truck. I got a referral from a guy at Brizio’s Custom Car builders in So.City. Told me to call Ron at Rock n Roll. Talked to Ron and brought my truck in the next day. Ron took a look, I told him what I wanted done, we talked for about ½ hr and I felt I could trust him with my «baby». Brought my truck in on Jan 4,2010 and 3 weeks later my truck was done. I was grining from ear to ear. He also turned me onto a tire guy named Jimmy who put 4 new «shoes» on my truck which is sitting with just the right stance. I thought this guy only installed stereos and alarms… wrong. He’s got connections for body guys and upholstery too. A wealth of info for someone looking to resto a classic.
I am bringing my 1956 Ford p/​u to Ron to install an original radio in and install a horn. That’s how much I trust this guy with my «kids»
Update… I brought my 1956 Ford p/​u truck into Ron’s to get an original radio installed and a horn. Ron got it done in under 2 hours. He had to drill a round hole into the dash for the radio and install 2 new horns under the hood and hook up the wiring. I just wanted the original radio for the looks so he didn’t have to wire it. He told me about installing a kit to hook up my ipod into so i can play my tunes and use the ipod’s fm radio. This will be my next project for Ron.

ROCK & ROLL!
That’s what happens when you go see Ron. He’s always got great music rockin’, great service going, great products installing, and you end up rolling out of there with a big smile on your face!
Go see him now. I’ll tell him you’re coming.

The service here is fast, professional and price is reasonable. But the most important fact about Rock and Roll is that Ron knows his stuff. I brought my car there to have a head unit and dash kit installed. Ron installed everything promptly and was able to troubleshoot and fixed the static noise that came from my stock amp very quickly. And I came in and out within an hour happily with a new stereo installed at a reasonable price.
I am sure there are many fancy car stereo shops out there. But I will choose Ron’s old stereo shop over any of them any time. Experience is all it matters!
