A-1 Car Stereo

I’d avoid his place. The prices aren’t bad but they don’t do a very good job and when you go back to get it fixed it probably won’t get done correctly again. I’d spent the extra money and get work done somewhere else.

I am a business owner and I don’t like to leave un-​just bad reviews, but you will want to avoid this place. I called ahead and asked for a part number that started with CX. I repeated it three times and told the guy are you sure you have it I am driving from 40 minutes away to get it. He says yes I have it for sure. I show up and I ask for the part, the owner (father) of the place looks at his son and says you asked ZX, the son says no. I said yes, I asked you 3 times. He said YOU ARE A LIAR! I could tell he was scared his dad was about to chew his ass. I of got pissed off and went on rant — I just drove 30 minutes and now I am being called a liar? I can deal with mistakes, what I can’t deal with is a father that does not teach his own kids how to take responsibility. Instead of getting on his kids ass for calling me a liar he tells me I don’t’ have it and basically saying if I did I would not sell it to you. .. this is not the type of person I want to give business to.
If my son called one of our customers a liar to cover his ass, he would be digging himself out of a punishment ditch for six months.

Bad customer service. My friend recommended me to it and I regret going in. I went in because my dash board said «ERROR DC» when I start my car. I have to let my car run for 15mins in order to listen the radio. Also, when I start the car, a loud pop-​like noise comes out from my back driver side door speakers. I told them that I think it’s because of my speakers but they insisted its because my radio is old (I have a 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer ES.) They sounded like they new what they were talking about but they were FUCKING WRONG. My situation didn’t change after they installed the radio, which was $ 100, and the kit, $ 200. It still wasn’t working properly. Still making the PPP-​like noise. And I still have to start the car and run for 15mins in order to use the radio. Them MOTHERFUCKERS don’t know their shit. They know how to install (left scuff marks and dents in my dash board when they installed the radio and kit, not professional installers) but they don’t know what they’re talking about. I went went back the day after and told them they were FUCKING WRONG and told them that I paid $ 300 for something I didn’t need. They looked at my door speakers and said those were the problem (like what I FUCKING told them in the first place.) They said they will put and install new speakers for $ 150. FUCK THAT SHIT. THEY ARE A PEICE OF SHIT ON MY ASSHOLE. YOU HERE THAT? A-​1-​STEREO. PEICE OF SHIT ON MY ASSHOLE WHEN I TAKE A SHIT. BITCH…

Went in today and the service was much better, prices were good too. Just a little shady still.

Very very mixed experience. Go here only if you’re patient and don’t mind a rude staff.
Good — authorized dealer for Viper alarms and other equipment. Knowledgable staff. Decent opening hours. By far least expensive in town. had a loose wire, they fixed immediately. installation seems pretty solid (with some quirks)
Bad — they act like they are doing you a favor by allowing you to shop there. very rude. they installed something incorrectly w/​o the proper adapter. instead of working w me to fix it, they said take it or leave it and acted like it was my fault that they didn’t have the adapter. price is inconsistent — one person says $ 199, another $ 250 for the same thing.

This is an update to my review of 11÷6÷2013…
I visited today to inquire about checking my AVH-​X5500BHS Pioneer stereo. I explained that my truck had been in the shop for repairs which required that the battery be disconnected for a couple of days. As a consequence of that, I had no sound coming from any of the features in the stereo and the rear camera also didn’t work.
The employee patiently listened to me and cheerfully stated that they would troubleshoot and get it working again. Within an hour I was back on the road and the stereo and camera work just fine now. They only charged $ 30, which to me was very reasonable, considering that it’s out of warranty. When the job was complete, the employee explained what they had done and thanked me for returning to them for assistance.
I really appreciated their excellent customer service, as they seem to be busy with big custom jobs, but treated me the same as if I had gone in there and spent big bucks.
Needless to say, I’ll be going back to have my truck windows tinted and also to replace my old factory alarm.
As before, I highly recommend A-​1 Car Stereo for any of your auto sound system, alarm or tint needs. Keep up the good work, guys!

Great place. after going to 2 places that didnt wanna install a radio in a 93 benz cause they were worried they’d break the dashboard, i took it here. they did it confidentally with no problems. a very cheap install price as well.
second time i quoted around, but found them cheapest YET AGAIN. other places wanted to charge additional for installation even when i bought equipment from them, but a-​1 didnt since i bought speakers and tweeters from them.
highly recommend. im going back for some new toys soon.

I don’t have anything to say but good things about this place. Especially for Bryan, he is probably the best installer in the state maybe even the country. He can do anything you need, specialty work, fix screw-​ups from other shops, or work on cars that other shops won’t touch. Their prices are more than reasonable also. The boss from Pioneer Electronics has Bryan work on his car.

Great job, quick work, and on budget. All makes and models. I was very impressed with the job the did on my 28 year old classic auto.
