My auxiliary port had stopped working so I called to schedule an appointment. I don't remember the guy's name but he told me it was a simple replacement that I could probably do myself but that I was also welcome to bring it by anytime. I ended up buying the port online and making a half hearted attempt to install it. After I failed, I called these guys in the morning and they said they were slammed but could squeeze me in in the next couple of hours. They call, I show up, and they guy pulls the car around back and back out in about 5 minutes. He installed the port and didn't even

Wow great service! I called 2 other places before settling on them. They installed an amp and subwoofer. These guys know what their doing. They set my crossover and installed a bass level control so that I can adjust depending on the song. I listen to music all over the spectrum (deathmetal, classic rock, rap, pop, ect) and found the subwoofer that suited my needs. I tried a 10" and 12" and back to the 10" and settled on the 12". I don't know if their competitive with their pricing, as I didn't bother to shop around once I felt confident with their expertise. They only deal with the high end SKU

There are no smiles and the place is small, but I have found giants inside that store. Excellent service and the best technical quality in the installation. They even helped me adjust the equipment to my needs! Before meeting them I have made some estimates (dash cam) and the most honest place has been here. Thank you forever!

A++ rating for this place! You can get equipment anywhere, but the quality of the service provided, the value for the cost, and customer service is what sets a place like this apart from the rest. Great communication on the install day and it looks and sounds so good! Thank you for a much-needed upgrade from my WRX factory deck!

Over the course of the year, I've had the staff at Auto Acoustics work in numerous vehicles for me encompassing all the services they offer: window tinting, stereo installation, cameras & remote starts, stereos, wheels & tires, lifts & truck accessories. In every instance they were knowledgeable, courteous, & not only delivered what was promised but WHEN it was promised! They definitely want to ensure your happiness & satisfaction!

My experience with this company has been very poor. Over the course of several years I've purchase a radio, two amps and six speakers and I've had issues with the radio and speakers. I was advised at the time of purchase that if anything went wrong, I could bring it back and they would make it right. That hasn't been the case. Instead of experiencing an effortless repair or exchange, I've been given the run around. I am having an issue with one of four speakers and contacted Auto Acoustics to advise them of the issue and requested that they fix it or replace it. We've gone

Exceeds your wildest audio dreams! Richard the owner answered when I first called to describe my issue (2009 Corolla radio just suddenly went out while driving), he was a friendly, integrity filled straight-shooter said it sounded like the radio was going out & quoted a very reasonable price for new radio + installation but also asked me to come on by so they could look at it to make sure it wasn't something simple like a loose wire because he didn't want me buying a new radio if I didn't need it. Got to love a business man who is in the business of treating people right over

Well choosing Auto Acoustics for a stereo work over in our 2000 Dodge van was a total Yelp leap of faith. Thank you Yelp! These guys were and are great. We have converted our 2000 Dodge Ram Maxi van into a two person RV and the radio that came from the factory was very outdated. Auto Acoustics installed a Pioneer system with Car Play/Sirius - new speakers and while they had the van, they installed a four camera video system with front camera, side cameras and rear view camera. The work was excellent. The recommended equipment was dead on. We could not be happier. We will be going back for

I want to update my review. We had some communication issues in the beginning but once that was resolved, they gave great service. They did leave stains on the panels of my doors but I came back and they fixed it quickly.
The tint looks great and I have had no issues with it. Overall nice job and great price!

Very pleased--with service and staff and camera. Very professional, courteous, prompt. We recently had an aftermarket back-up camera installed in our Toyota Corolla. After reading reviews, we dropped by the shop to get an idea of what was possible and the price. We were very impressed and decided later that day to make an appointment for the job. We were able to get a Saturday appointment within a few weeks. The install was done in 2 hours (just like they had told us) and we picked up our car and have been happy with the results. We think the camera quality is better than the factory one in our

Was looking at several different head unit options. Came in spent a good amount of time in the store and talking with everyone there. Worked out the head unit, accessories and install date in about 45 minutes.
Prices are a little higher than the BigBox/bargain hunter/online only shops, but the service and follow through more than make up for it.
Wiring is neat and tied off. No rats nest behind the head unit or by the battery terminal.
Install was great, looks and sounds great. Apart from the new head unit, you can't tell these guys were there. They even cleaned up the wiring from the previous

Very happy with my aftermarket LED headlights! These folks were easy to work with and 100% transparent about pricing. Didn't mind me driving to the dealer to get comparable quotes. I liked that they were respectful of my decision making process with zero pressure to buy. Would gladly recommend to others based on my experience with both the service and the work.

Like many other reviewers, our experience with the crew of Phelan (sales), Stan & Rob (mechanic) was very positive. We were able to make an appt., and Phelan was punctual & friendly in waiting on us. After hearing our basic needs for a combination audio & HVAC system, Phelan & Co. recommended a relatively affordable & yet functional unit. The unit was efficiently installed, we received a brief tutorial on it, and we were out-the-door on schedule.
Soon afterwards, our car's climate-control system exhibited a problem with the driver's-side A/C, and I returned to

I'm writing a review for work that I didn't have done. I have a lot of respect for this place. I spoke with them a few months ago about getting blind spot sensors put in my car. They did some research and waited for some new tech to come out. After deciding on a product they were comfortable with I brought the car in. It turns out that after market sensors don't work well for hybrids. What I respect is that they did due-diligence to test the product out before drilling holes in the car and when they found it wasn't working properly called the company and the company told them

The entire stereo system in my Jetta failed in the middle of a cross-country trip-- AAARRGGGHH!!!-- so when we got back to Durham I went over to Auto Acoustics to see what my options were. That was the beginning of the saga. The first system I chose, a Blaupunkt high-end model, meant for VWs & other European cars, looked great but was real pricey --$800. After mulling it over, I decided to go for it, and Stan ordered it. He told me he'd call me when he knew when he could get it in... a few days later, he called to say it was discontinued. Grrr.

We recently bought a 2012 Prius which we love, but we find the rear visibility is pretty bad. Our other car has a backup camera so we were already a little spoiled by that and decided we would like to have one added to the Prius. We shopped around a little bit and talked to a couple of people. Richard was extremely responsive via email (the only way I tried to contact him), he asked me several questions and then quoted me a price. I felt a lot more comfortable with him than with the people at Best Buy who did not seem to knowledgeable about the options and did not have any cameras in stock
