Got my family friends Camry for a new pioneer stereo!! And everyone was really friendly and nice!! 10/10!!

Two guys working on installation of dashcam and what was supposed to take 2-3 hours ended up being 50 minutes. They were able to get job done efficiently and hid the wiring in the upholstery. Similar pricing compared to other vehicle electronic shops. Definitely recommend them read more

I don't post much about businesses,.. but have to say, been coming for audio upgrades! For years!! now, very happy customer with nothing! But experts front and in back ready to take on any type of challenges, services!,and etc! Complete!!, always Advanced!! keep on shining!! read more

Love this place! Honestly, because of George, Advanced Car Creations is my new favorite, go-to car stereo store. George was patient with me, very informative and, most of all, extremely competitive (and transparent) with pricing. I shopped around to over a dozen different car stereo spots before deciding to go with Advanced Car Creations. And I'm soooo happy I did. I'm loving the upgraded sound system in my Ridgeline. It's clean, crisp and thumps like it should!! Thanks George!! I'll definitely be back soon and plan to recommend you guys to anyone looking for a clean, crisp, competitive install :) read more

I called around multiple audio shops to get a quote on head unit, door speakers and subwoofer installation for my Lexus and their prices were extremely fair. I dropped my car off on Saturday morning at 10 when they opened and they had the entire car done by 5:30 pm which I think is very quick. The sound system sounds outstanding too. Definitely will be bringing my other cars here. read more

I was recommend them by Greg. He said to talk to George and that he would take care of what I needed to get done. I was already pushed off by two other shops local to me in the Long Beach area. So after talking to George I felt confident they could do the job. And they did! Got there right when they opened and talked with Larry, they head tech. He was skeptical but after 3 hours (the estimated time George and I thought it would take) it was done! All the functions work that are supposed to. So executed as agreed in the price that was agreed on. Two wins! I would give them a 5/5 but I had to knock it to a 4 due to some parts of the trim getting scratched but it was negligible and given the oddness of the work to be done and the age of the vehicle I let it slide. Don't let that 1 star knock discourage you! These guys know what they are talking about! All around are premium speakers and in the back (near the bathroom lol) are all their awards they have won for their work. You can see two custom mustangs that went to SEMA on the wall! read more

This place came highly recommended from the stereo shop that I had been going to for many years. The shop has been here for a very long time but I had never had any work done here prior to this. I asked to have four speakers, 1 amp, a head unit, with installation done. They charged me just over $1,700- and the sound was pretty good. I was a bit disappointed to find that after I drove my car away that they had left several Nuts and Bolts still left behind on my floorboards. One of my inside panels wasn't fully put back on. Not a problem, as I know these things can get overlooked sometimes in a high volume establishment such as this. What bothered me was the person on the phones cavalier tone of voice when informed of this mistake. Instead of going back and having them do something that I could easily do myself I opted to reinstall the panel myself. It wasn't until I got a really good look at the work that they did that I also noticed that they had installed the amplifier under my seat crooked. It was shifted by almost an inch diagonally. A very lazy oversight, that could have been easily noticed when doing the work. For the price I paid and for how highly recommended they were I ended up fairly disappointed in the level of service I received. For the amount of great reviews this place has I would expect them to do cleaner work. Very expensive for an amateur job. My search for a good stereo shop in Orange County continues... read more

Highly recommend! They installed a Pioneer wireless carplay with steering wheel controls and a backup camera for me. Advanced Car Creations was great to work with from start to finish. They gave me a quick response for an estimate, quoted a good, competitive price and kept true to their word and installed the correct equipment. They didn't try to upsell or upcharge once I got there. I really appreciated their honesty and good workmanship. They did a great job! At another place I went to for my other car, they pulled a bait and switch with their estimate just to get me in the door and when they finally agreed to keep their word, they sneakily installed a second-hand system and shoddy used backup camera. Advanced was the complete opposite experience with keeping their word, putting in the actual equipment I bought, and they went above and beyond to be kind to me and my toddler who had to come along with me and wait. I would highly recommend them!! read more

This place is the absolute best on stereo systems, had humming noise from speakers after car stereo warehouse installed complete stereo system and was told it was my alternator!!!

came in looking to buy specific morel speakers, it wasn't a popular model so it wasn't in stock (it was out of stock online as well) - but they were able to order it for me since they're an authorized dealer, and i was able to pick it up the next week they also understood i was installing it myself and didnt pressure me at all to get it installed here. the selection here is pretty large (also got high end brands like focal, JL, morel) so they probably have what you're looking for read more

This shop is probably the greatest Car Stereo shops that I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. Over the last 8 years, I have spent nearly $10K with these guys. George and Robert have ALWAYS been great to chat with. They are both VERY knowledgeable in the trade. The shop caries some of the most premium brands on the market today. They always stay current with the latest and greatest equipment available for your vehicle. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this shop for Audio/Video Equipment, Alarms, Lighting and numerous other Automotive Accessories. read more

I bought a boombox that was used and 12 inch woofers kickers was owner willing to deal with me I bought it cash and the best thing is it's almost been five years not a single problem with them I just wish I wouldn't match the ohms to my amp but it's kind of my fault for not speaking up and not stating what I want exactly but next time I know exactly what I want will probably be coming to buy more stuff. Hopefully I can continue doing business and continue giving good reviews. read more

Great, honest, work! Had them install new head unit for my 2019 CRV and were transparent about their concerns-- Jose mentioned the brands they trusted were not available for my vehicle so I had to do my research 1st. Brought back a unit for them to install and in 3 hrs it was completed. They even gave positive feedback on initial impressions of the unit. Definitely coming back for any future installations if needed read more

This is long over due but remember to pay AFTER your service. I was too naive when they asked me to pay before even finishing the job to still eventually fail. I was trying to fix/connect my reverse camera and the product I had was missing a part so they couldn't fix it and recommended and insisted their products would work, but guess what? It didn't! I paid over 250 for the service along with the product. I understand charging a service charge is reasonable, but to charge me for a device that doesn't work? It's super unlucky because literally the day right after they serviced my car go totaled so everything was a total waste. Obviously that's not their fault but I could've saved 160$ AT LEAST. If I remember correctly the service itself was around 90? Service was ok. Every time I pass the store I get so upset with myself by essentially getting SCAMMED. PAY AFTER SERVICE!!!!!!! MAKE SURE THEY ACTUALLY DID THE JOB!! read more

After a couple of failed attempts going to big box stores and having no luck. I decided to try Advanced Car Creations, I was helped swiftly and professionally by Jose. I ended up having a short in one of my cables which made my functional passenger speaker go out. They diagnosed it quickly and fixed it for a reasonable price. I would come back again. Plus there is a taco truck outside so you can get some food in the meantime. read more

Honestly I thought this place was ok but they proved me wrong. I took my 2019 Ram for New amp Wire's and a box that fit 2 10ins sub woofers I also got the truck cover that folds, so i was spending A good amount of $$. So they did the Job and I have no complaints about the wire job. The problem was that a month pass by and I had to call them, and they said o ya your box is here.. I show up the box doesn't fit (keep in mind it's payed for already) Month or more later no call nothing... if I wouldn't have called I would still be waiting. I had to go somewhere else to get my box... after making another trip out there they did refund the $ for the box.. read more

The guys here at advanced have always been helpful. They are very knowledgeable and give quality advice and suggestions. They have a good selection of products, I have gotten things from alarms with car start to new radio and speakers. Pricing has always been on point and I have felt like they go above and beyond to make sure we get exactly what we are looking for. read more

Worse stereo shop ever. They will give you a cheap price over the phone so you drive to the location. Once you arrive they start adding the price. What I needed done was something simple. They told me $125 over the phone. When I arrived the price changed to $250. I went to another local stereo shop and they charged me $120. BEWARE THIS PLACE IS A SCAM ! They don't know how to run a proper stereo shop! POOR SERVICE!!!!! read more

The guys at Advanced Car Creations were great. I came in with a set of HIDs on my 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee that weren't working properly. They took a look at the HID kit I had and determined it was not of good quality. They then recommended an HID kit they had in stock that would should work perfectly. The removal of the old kit and installation of the new kit only took a few hours. The new kit has worked perfectly so far and we're super happy with the end result. Thanks for your help Advanced Car Creations. read more

They made me pay full price for one back door speaker when they come in a pair, so technically they should have replaced both back doors . I didn't know this being a girl . They were not able to figure out my issue so they ripped me off instead by replacing these speakers and didn't even try to figure out what was wrong with my system (which was done by another shop)Luckily I took my truck elsewhere to someone who knows what he's doing and that doesn't take advantage of women! I messed up by not doing my research beforehand and it turned into a nightmare. read more

I have purchased a lot of car audio equipment from them and have had them install different components of my system in addition to tuning my system, gains on my amps, equalizers on head unit, etc. Bottom line, they are very knowledgeable and friendly and have reasonable prices as well! They do an excellent job installing! I highly recommend them for all your car audio needs! read more

These dudes know there shit! I got ripped off in Covina by a Stereo Sound place. They sold me Phoenix Gold products but failed to tell me it was all made in China and no longer made in the US so the quality isn't the same as before. If u want good sound in your car come see these guys. They will listen and work with ur price range and advice u on what is good product and what isnt. Kicking myself in the ass right about now. I came to remove my interlock device and found this gold mind. read more

I purchased an off market radio off of Amazon for my Late model Honda Element and thought I could install it myself, I was wrong . Once I figured out that I needed some help, I started searching Yelp for stereo shops. I found Advanced Car and am so glad that I went with them. I send a message on Yelp and Jose was the first to respond. I let him know what I needed and he gave me a reasonable quote over the phone. I went in a few days later and Jose and crew were super friendly, and accommodating. He described everything to me as this was my first time dealing with a radio install. My car was done within an hour which was great! After taking it home I noticed that the subwoofer was not bumping as it was previously so I called up Jose to mention it to him. He said that it could need a different harness which was causing the radio to not function as intended. He said he would order the new harness and that it would be in, in a few days. After the part was received I came back in, his tech replaced it in about 15 minutes and he said not to worry about paying anything extra for the labor. My car now sounds awesome and the radio looks great! Thanks Jose and team!!! read more

Their installation for dash cam was horrible. They have to plug to my a/c adaptor not the fuse box. I could have done it myself if that was the case. read more

I went to this place yesterday to see if they could do something with my antenna for my Sirius radio. I kept getting antenna error and it was getting frustrating! They fixed it! I was in and out in a little under an hour. The staff was friendly and concerned about my problem! I appreciate their attention to detail and would highly recommend this place. Update: Came back today after 2 months as my Sirius Radio was acting up. I continually was receiving error message. They fixed it and I believe the problem is solved for good! Highly recommend! read more

I've had the same car for several years and just cannot let it go, but whatever Honda provides just doesn't cut it. A few years ago, I finally decided it was time to upgrade the stock head unit that quit reading the music on my iPhone. I came in to Advanced for the first time in the summer of 2016, and Robert immediately knew the type of Pioneer head unit I wanted (CarPlay was most important to me). I even had a backup camera installed. It all worked awesome, and the price tag was reasonable for the work that was done. Not cheap, but worth the time I would have spent figuring it all out by myself. Fast forward to 3 years later, and they sure don't disappoint. Larry, George, Robert and the gang were great about making sure I got quoted the best deal on a new set of Alpine speakers, amp, and a DD subwoofer. They know exactly what components you need for the car that you have. They were honest about how long it would take. (Always plan ahead...you want them to have the time to do things right. Don't expect to come in and have stuff done on the same day.) I am an audiophile, so they were very generous in letting me try different subwoofers until I heard the one I wanted. I loved the service that I got; they asked all the right questions, and I am always happy to spend time in the shop to make sure everything is done right. They put up with my crazy requests (power inverter, dash cam, hiding wires, and more) and were very patient. They charge reasonable rates for the amount of work that is involved, and they're all really great guys. In a day where YouTube and Crutchfield are king, you can see how they continue to do business for over two decades. I highly recommend Advanced to anyone who, like me, isn't willing to spend twice the amount of time to break his own car installing this stuff. read more

Excellent install of my Escort radar detector and subwoofer in one day. Promised to get a plastic plate where the sub's connector broke, but I haven't called yet, so part my fault. Very nice people who are very responsive over the phone. read more

The guys here are awesome. Gotta thank you Yelp-ers for giving this place such high ratings so that we could find it! Hubby needed to get his audio redone after being swindled by a place in El Monte (I know, I know...). First time, the visit was going to be long: hubby wanted to put Dynamat into the car, and adjust some of the wiring for his audio. Unfortunately, didn't realize how long it would take the second time we were here, so we had to walk around quite a bit. I wised up on the third visit to take my car. So, word of advice: wives, be nice to your husbands and follow him here. Once he drops off his car, then have him get into your car because now he's trapped and has to do chores with you. Likewise, husbands, let your wife have that awesome audio option; she'll start developing ringing in her ears and won't be able to hear you talk anyways, and may not ask for a conversation if you like quiet time. :P So, in the span on the few visits we've been here, most of the car has been Dynamat-ed for the benefit of our skittish puppy, and majority of the audio has been redone or replaced. I love the service these guys perform because they have been very honest with us along the way. They will not replace something unless it is already damaged, and they're very thorough in letting you know if they see something suspicious (apparently, the last audio place we went to broke off part of the internal handle on the car door, and used a zip tie to hold it together. It works, but, damn, that's low). They have high expectations of themselves and you'll see it in the quality of their work. Hubby has suddenly been going out a bit more often. Hm. Price-wise, I say it's completely worth it. If you need hardware (i.e., speakers, faceplate), I would suggest definitely buying it directly from ACC; their prices have been extremely low if not under retail. The price for labor is good, and the price for small parts are reasonable. Heck, when the prices were given to hubby, I basically wanted to answer for him with "YES, SAY YES, GAWDDAMN IT, YOU BETTER SAY YES!" He, of course, went for it without much nudging from me. The service has been great, the people are competent and are true professionals in their field. Even though I was obviously hanging around because the work was being done on hubby's car, I didn't get any lip or any disrespect from any of the guys if I was somehow in their way. Perfectly polite gentleman on the front-of-house. The neighborhood can feel a little iffy, but it's okay. There's a good amount of parking, and the place is near Block of Orange to do some shopping. Very happy with the service. Definitely giving a high recommendation to this business. read more
