I brought in a highly-rated dashcam for installation, but they refused, offering only a $600 option. They assured me it had the blindside function I needed. The appointment was set for a week later and estimated to take 4 hours. We dropped the car off on Friday morning, and they called 4.5 hours later saying it was ready. When we arrived at 2 PM, it wasn't. The unit turned off with the ignition. After another 3-hour wait, they fixed it by correcting the fuse connection. However, the lens was installed upside down, showing the unit wasn't quality checked. By 4 PM, I took the car with the condition of testing it. An hour later, I called back--the rear camera's view was obstructed by defroster and antenna lines, and the side views only showed the cab. They agreed to move the rear camera outside, but this caused another problem: the gridlines during reverse were a foot off, making parking inaccurate. In the end, I was left with a unit that didn't cover blind spots or back up properly. The $600 dashcam wasn't suitable for my car and shouldn't have been recommended. It seemed they only offered this unit without considering its compatibility with my vehicle. I was told if I wanted those features, I needed to pay for the $1300 version. Their next appt. to remove the device was made 2 weeks out. At that time they refunded the mirror, but not the $400 labor. I cannot in good faith recommend their expertise regarding the products they sell, the labor quality or the salesman tactics of this establishment. Their level of professionalism only lies within their current structure - anything outside the box just "costs more". read more

I needed to replace my radio in my older model Corolla. The man who helped me was straight to the point, courteous, and professional. They didn't mind answering any questions and explaining how my new system worked. Great experience, thanks! read more

I did a self-install for camera and head unit in 2006 4Runner. The head unit could never receive a camera signal. Multiple attempts at soldering and still no signal. Finally resigned myself to professional help. The guys at 919 Motoring were great. They understood my situation and quickly got me scheduled and promptly fixed my issue. A big plus is they did not bust my chops for buying a cheap-ish head unit, camera and screwing up the installation. (Turns out the wire was bad, and all my attempts were in vain.) They cost for fixing my install was extremely reasonable. Really had a very positive experience. Highly recommend them and will use them for any future car stereo and video needs. read more

Wow, from the first email to ask if they were able to do the work I wanted to the installation done today, these guys are amazing. Their website was what caught my eye and the quick responses to emails helped me decide they might be worth the 1.5 hour drive to get to them....and I'm glad I followed my instincts. We have a motor home that was equipped without an extremely outdated audio system. When I asked Shaun about what I might need, he was extremely knowledgeable, without trying to sell me something I didn't need. Long story short, we now have Car Play (Apple Play) with a great 11" touch screen that is MUCH easier to use and is much more functional. All in under 2 hours. Couldn't be happier. read more

I had Apple CarPlay installed in my 2012 Mercedes. The did a really good job at a reasonably good price. I was very happy with their service from beginning to end. I highly recommend them. Eddie read more

I stopped in to see how much a connection to my present radio to my i Phone would be. I was quoted $180.00. The price is less than I have been quoted in the past. They came out and looked at my car to get a visual on what I wanted. The store also sells wheels, they had a display on the showroom floor. read more

My dad took my car in because my stereo had lost a lot of quality and was only playing some light treble tones. He called the day of and they were able to take him that afternoon, and even finished the job when it turned out to be a lot bigger than previously thought - the console unit needed replaced as well as all the speakers that were blown. I am very impressed with the new system which was a fair price and perfectly installed, and sounds great! They even fixed up my passenger side window switch which has been broken for years, which was a really nice additional service. Overall, I would definitely recommend and return in the future if necessary! They offer many other services than just radios. read more

Such a helpful team... professional and outstanding service with 100% of our needs. I would highly recommend this place over the bigger places like Best Buy. read more

Don't waste your time trying anywhere else. The guys at 919 MOTORING were awesome. They exceeded my expectations at a more than fair price. The customer service was amazing and I love the setup they put in my F450! Highly recommend them!!! read more

Shaun recently installed a back up camera and rear sensors in my 6 yo Scion TC. Due to my low mileage and no payments I was eager to add those features versus buying. He also replaced my factory radio/CD player with a Sony screen. I love the Bluetooth and Apple CarPlay features plus the barely noticeable microphone near the rear view mirror. It is also connected to my steering wheel controls. The rear sensors take the most time as the bumper has to be removed and the sensor heads are painted at a body shop to match the car. The safety factor of having these devices is reassuring. I love my new audio controls. Shaun was friendly and very helpful as I made my choices. Great service. Satisfied with costs. read more

Quick to reply with quotes and estimates. Very knowledgeable and professional. They will go over all your options and give their honest opinion on what options would suit you best. They also base this on your desires and not their compensation. Excellent group of guys and would recommend to anyone wishing for good honest service. Thanks, Doug read more

I went in to inquire about having a rearview camera installed. They seemed very enthusiastic despite the fact that it appears my rearview mirror may not have been equipped for the normal hardware used. They promised to research it and see what kind of rearview camera in the rearview mirror they could put in. The owner took my name and number. However over two weeks later I've never heard from him. There goes a $500+ customer. read more

The guys at 919 Motoring rock! They put together a non-standard full audio package in my Maserati GranTurismo and it sounds incredible! I am a recording studio engineer and I have to say the system they set me up in is top shelf! Maserati's are not after-market audio friendly cars, but they pieced together a system that does everything I need. I will only use them for any car audio needs! read more

I went to 919 motoring after receiving a referral from a friend. I needed (wanted) bluetooth capabilities in my car, shortly after hubs got a new car with it. It just seemed like I was really behind the time without it, plus I am a major car talker, and have been known to have arm/elbow aches from holding the phone too long. Totally true, by the way. I also work out of my car a ton and so it is something that would be super convenient. I went in and talked with Shawn about what I wanted, he showed me some options and I quickly realized that I also wanted the dashboard console to have my navigation system along side the bluetooth/phone options. We decided on an Alpine system and scheduled for it to be installed that following weekend. I dropped my car off, and when I came back to pick it up, my car was MUCH smarter than it was when I dropped it off. Not only do I now have the navigation and bluetooth system, it is where my old stereo was and it is this sleak flat screen panel that is really good looking. I also have pandora bluetooth which feeds from my phone, and the sound in my car never sounded better, and I have factory speakers! Shawn went through a brief tutorial about how to work it all, and told me to call him with any questions I have along the way. I am THRILLED with my experience and will definitly go back to Shawn with any other car eclectronic needs! read more

I added a camera and Bluetooth audio to my 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan. Sean was very professional and did a great job. I have no reservations at all recommending him. read more

919 Motoring - Grand Caravan installation. - Car Stereo Installation Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

Got my backup cam and radar detector installed in under 2 hours while I waited. Works like a charm. Definitely recommend these guys.

They did a great job installing the remote start in my new truck at a great price! They provided me with an option that doesn't require a separate remote. I originally spoke to Blake when I stopped by to inquire about getting the remote start installed and he was great! Gave me all the information I needed to make my decision and make an appointment. When I went to drop off my vehicle I met Shaun and he was great as well! Very helpful and knowledgable! Highly recommend 919 Motoring! I will def be back for additional work. read more

Sean is incredible. After being wonderful about helping me with my auto start repair I was kinda glad my stereo went in the crapper so I had an excuse to do business there again. I went to a big box first and the price, unit, parts, and wait time were ridiculous. I never thought I could afford to buy a new stereo at 919 but turns out it was cheaper and faster. When it came time to replace my auto start I was back again. I called a couple of days ago when the light on my remote when out. When I showed up he knew exactly who I was and the work he had done for me over the past four years. What else can I break so I can go back there again? read more

I needed a modest subwoofer for my VW GTi. 919 recommended a nice JBL Basspro Micro that doesn't take up too much room in my small trunk and can be easily detached if I need some more space. They were easy to work with and finished the install while I caught a movie across the street. read more

This place is awesome!! I called for some information on a project I was going to try to do myself and after about 5 minutes on the phone it was clear 1) I was in no position to try this and 2) these guys really know there stuff. I dropped off my car at a scheduled appointment and after a very informative conversation I was really impressed. The price quoted was almost exactly what we had talked about and thats with me adding a couple of things but they were great. More importantly it was done on time and looked perfect well more than perfect since they had thought about a couple of things I didn't even consider and just did it because it was the right thing to do! It was done exactly when they said it would be done and just was a great experience What a great place for information and to get work done. Couldn't be more pleased Thanks Shaun and John!! read more

Shaun installed a backup camera on our 2008 Ridgeline. What a difference that makes! We're both delighted with the visibility that it gives when backing up, and with the clean installation. When there was some difficulty getting a good fit with the mirror mount (Honda sometimes uses this weird twist-on-twist-off mounting system), Shaun kept working with the system manufacturer until we had an adapter that gave us a solid mount. I couldn't be happier with the job that Shaun and the 919 Motoring crew did for us, and at a reasonable price, to boot. read more

I was shopping for days online for an affordable way to connect my smartphone to the audio speakers in my 2009 Nissan so when I travel I can use my phone GPS and listen to Pandora and Tunein Radio. I was told by Nissan corp customer service my bluetooth system was outdated and another Audio specialist  company said I would need a new radio system. The Raleigh owner operator Shawn Reilly at 919 Motoring in a minute came up with a simple inexpensive cable connector to my auxilary audio input ports in the back seat from my phone headjack that was the perfect solution. America's small businesses are the backbone of this country and 919 Motoring is a model for small business owners -- knowledge, honesty, value, convenience and customer service. Let's do our best to support role models like Shaun. Definitely go here for your auto communications needs and not to places like Best Buy. read more

I had an remote starter and security cam installed here. Owners have integrity and really care about the customer. I received a phone call while they were installing my products to let me know that I didn't need a part that was originally part of my initial quote for $120... they could have totally took advantage of me but they choose to be honest. Both owners were very personable. I would highly recommend supporting this small business, they really know their stuff! Thanks guys! read more

If your looking for a trustworthy place to install radio and speakers in a motorcycle, this is the place. Fair deal with excellent service!! They installed my sound system in my motorcycle as if it were there own. read more

Just wanted to share my positive experience with a local business, 919 Motoring. They (Sean and John) helped me select an appropriate subwoofer to upgrade my 2017 Toyota Tundra. Install was affordable and fast and I'm 100% pleased with the results. Any mobile electronics you may require these guys can do, sound, safety, radar, lights, you name it. Highly recommend. Will not be going anywhere else even though they are 45 minutes from my home. Can't beat great service and good products. read more

Good knowledgeable staff here on car audio accessories. Service was timely with appointment as scheduled and with quality work.

Seriously, if you want it done right, look no further. Shaun & John spend a lot of their time fixing what other shops screw up. I wish I had gone to them first, I would have saved $350 and gotten the amazing flush mount bluetooth/aux/USB charger perfectly installed instead of a cable poking out of my glove box. Their prices are FAIR! It may be a little more expensive than other places, but you can be sure that with 24+ years in the business, these guys will tell you if it can be done the right way or not. Could not be happier with the whole process from the first call to see what could be done & pricing, to the scheduling and delivering results in exactly how long they estimated it would take to install. I am a new client and will always recommend these guys. Thank you 919 Motoring - true professionals at a reasonable price. read more

Like Terry W. I was looking for a way to connect an iPod to a factory radio. After being told it couldn't even be done by several places (one time AFTER dropping off my truck!), I found 919 Motoring. I'm a busy guy so I emailed them at like 11PM. I got an answer back right away (that in itself is unusual) and a great price. It's an easy install they did it while I waited and explained everything. That was in 2009. Fast forward to yesterday. After some user error (repeated slamming of the cable in the truck door ;-) I needed a new unit. They recommended I upgrade to an Alpine 123 in-dash solution and I am very happy. ~75.00 more than the replacement of my old unit and I now have iPod, iPhone and Pandora integration and it sounds really great--actually almost too great--I nearly got pulled for speeding while rocking down 540! read more

What a great place. I called a different company and they gave me the run around. I then called Shaun very professional, goes over and beyond his job duty to help you. read more

Thank god for 919 Motoring and Shaun! I had an awful installation of a navigation system done at Tint World Cary (don't ever go there!!!) and Shaun saved me. He was able to fix what Tint World did at a price that didn't break the bank. He was so knowledgeable and helpful in answering any questions I had and was able to fit me in right away. If you need anything related to navi/radio install come see 919. Thanks Shaun for the awesome work your did! read more

What a great place! I went there because I bought a groupon to tint my windows. What a great job they did on the tint! My husband tried to replace my speakers and screwed up. 919 did a great job replacing it and installing it. The owner is amazing and so professional. He made me feel comfortable about my purchase. He even stayed late on a Saturday to help with my install. Great prices and great people. read more

Shaun has been more than helpful, both with the remote start in my fx-35 and a much larger system in my F-250. John has also tinted three of my cars perfectly. I can't say enough about their professionalism read more

Knowledgeable great guys. On time and looks perfect. As a person who has owned and operated Auto related businesses, I can say that their small shop is spotless and super well organized. I have no qualms leaving my luxury cars with these guys. read more

Went to them to get a sub woofer installed. Staff was professional, but apparently they have a blanket policy that they will not install used hardware. There is nothing wrong with the sub, just wanted it in my current car. The blanket policy seems rather odd considering they don't seem to have much hardware in the showroom, but is perhaps standard for this kind of place. No explanation as to why they hold the policy was given. A somewhat frustrating experience read more

919 Motoring has replaced OEM speakers, headlight and fog lamps; installed tint, replaced OEM horns; installed a new system with navi; installed a back up camera on a 2012 Focus with factory My Touch and Nav (when Ford said "ain't no way"); iPod connections on a 2005 BMW Z4 when the jerks at Leith BMW said "It is not possible on this type of car, because the electronics are too complex." If it's electrical or electronic, Shawn can do it. Professional, friendly, and up front about everything. He makes each of his customers feel like family. He has done the above work on all my cars. He will advise you on the best fit/match for your car; lifestyle, and audio needs. Go to no other place. Just visit and walk away totally impressed! read more

I had a great experience with 919. I needed to replace a factory radio and they offered expertise and guidance on what options were best. The installation was smooth and looks amazing. I will definitely go back for any car stereo need I have. read more

Shaun and Caleb provide awesome customer service. First product installed didn't work as advertised so Shaun got right on the techs, figured out the issue before they did and found a new solution for my iPhone integration. Got me back in the shop in less than a week and uninstalled product one and installed product 2 in about 30 minutes FREE of charge as they wanted to do something for my inconvenience of having to come back and the initial product not working. These guys ROCK! Oh, I know I have Bluetooth which product one didn't have. Wins all around. read more

So helpful and knowledgeable! Will be going to Sean for all my future car needs! He was so friendly and honest and just a very refreshing change compared to most customer service experiences nowadays. read more

Sean has done 3 cars for us - all installations of on-board front and rear cameras. Did it for our Tesla, our BMW X3 and our Jaguar F-Type. To say he does quality work would be an understatement. He is incredibly professional, detailed and communicative. He takes tremendous pride in all the work he has done for us. I will continue to support this business and Sean. I can't imagine anyone doing a better, more thoughtful and professional job, then Sean. read more
