Giving one star because I can't leave 0. They do not care about their customers or the work they do. We went in for a new car stereo system and when we went to pick up our vehicle the windows wouldn't roll up and the locks wouldn't work. Anyone with half a brain would know that this is an install error and probably an easy fix, but they would not take responsibility. We had to get it fixed on our own. They did not replace the cables as they said they do, they left trash/boxes in our truck bed and moved things from the cab into the bed. They gaslight you when you ask them to fix the issues they've caused too...do yourself a favor and don't give them your business. The turn around time on a job is very long too. What they call a "business" should be called what it is--a crime. AVOID THIS BUSINESS! They have several complaints with the BBB and a F rating from them as well. Wish we had seen that before coming in and dealing with this AWFUL BUSINESS. read more

Service was done professionally, accurately, cleanly, and for a fair price. Would use again...

I came in because other audio places up in Temecula had pretty poor customer service but they had the best and actually I was in a bind but they helped me out with everything that I needed. So come here if you want things done but not too expensive. read more

Everything went well. I had issues with things that were installed by advanced stereo over three years ago and they fixed everything without question and gave me a great deal on it. I would have paid any price that they gave me at that time. I wanted the things fixed on my jeep. They only charge me the minimum service charge and I really appreciate their business. Thank you for everything that you did on my jeep, they fixed the alarm fix the door locks fix the car audio auto play, and got my lights working properly inside the dome. The wires were ripped out of the car by the wind. The door opened all the way backwards and tore the wires out of the door that connected the door locks this disabled, my alarm and a lot of other things on the vehicle..Thank you thank you 5 stars for their service . read more

I've been getting my car audio done at Advanced Car Stereo for about 5 years now but this location for half that time. The folks that work here are all awesome. They are very experienced and do great quality work. I've chatted with them and have gotten good advice and information about anything and everything. Al, Sam, Mark... the owner. Great people. They'll work out whatever you need. If there's an issue with anything they'll tell you to bring it in and fix it for you quick. Love the work. I appreciate y'all. read more

I needed some quick advice regarding wiring the front and rear cameras on my Acura MDX that I installed the night before. I pulled into Advanced Car Stereo and was met by Al, who treated me with dignity and respect. There was no question whether I was going to get the help I needed, that was clearly communicated to me. After a few minutes, Stephen came and found me wandering between the jungle of stereo equipment, handed me my keys and I was off. Everything works like a charm and I could not be happier to recommend Advanced Car Stereo. Thanks Al & Stephen! read more

Great honest service. Quality work and the staff was very friendly and professional.

I noticed the business manager Shantill responded to my review and yes this was the correct store and the location is n Murrieta, CA. Your customer service is tacky and you are dishonest people and your staff and their filthy mouths can be heard throughout the store, very unprofessional. I will continue to actively not recommend your business or work to anyone as in your post posing the question of the correct location, yes again, Murrieta correct location of a poor business model. read more

Amazing place I just got a new sound system installed it bumps in my 06 Chevy Silverado.

Brought in my sons 2017 Hyundai Sonata for an upgraded Apple CarPlay and back up camera. The guys at the store were so professional and nice they explained the whole process to you. Once the installation was completed my son and I were very happy with the work they did. Definitely will be coming back. Thank you again read more

After having 5 different systems installed, i got the worst possible install of all time. After butchering my rear carpet insulator, ($400 for a new replacment) they continued to butcher the rest of the install. Starting out from the battery, using undersized (#8) non OFC wiring, with no Farrells on the connections, a cheap non fused distribution block, to a cheap screw mounted undersized ground wire, it only gets worse in the middle. The amps were velco mounted, covered by the rear carpet insulation (no air movement), they were loose and making a lot of noise. There should have been an amp and component mounting board. No new speaker wiring, using the undersized, factory wiring. Both the speaker and the subwoofer amps are under sized for the speakers, with no DSP controller. Just think, I got all of this for a Price of over $3,000. Be careful were you have your work done. read more

Chris was very helpful and knowledgeable. I had driven to Best Buy in Menifee because they supposedly had an amp wiring kit that I needed and when I got there I received a notification that the item I had purchased online wasn't there. When speaking with the manager at best buy i had explained to him that I had driven from Temecula because the website listed his store as having one he basically told me tough luck. So I left there frustrated, looking for somewhere else I could get either 4 awg wire or an amp kit and I called Advanced. Chris helped me make the best decision moving forward and I ended up buying an amp kit from him and running my power wire to my amp the way he suggested. I'll be a customer going forward and will be recommending them for anyone who has car or boat audio needs! read more

One of the best customer experiences I have ever had.

I HIGHLY recommend this spot for any car alarm services and stereo services. 10/10. read more

I purchased and had a car stereo installed at Bestbuy (a complete waste of money, they had my car for 3 days and could not get it correct...) I called Advanced Car Stereo and was instructed to come in. I was willing to take back my bestbuy radio and and purchase a new one from them. After Speaking with Tom he asked if he could look at what was preformed by bestbuy, an hour and a half later he corrected the issues. There are not many businesses out there as honest as this! He kept my best interest first. Honest, friendly, professional service at an awesome price. Wonderful business. read more

False advertising! (Price Match Guarantee) recently purchased this double din unit from here for $450. The next day I found the exact same unit at Best Buy for $350. I was told that they would not honor that price due to the radio being their cost. I orginally purchased all of my equipment utilizing Snap finance and toward the end of the installation I found out that I purchased the incorrect one not knowing the orginal one they sold me did not come with android auto (only iPhone auto but I have a android)and they switch it on the spot. With that being said they had to adjust my Snap account adding the the new radio price of $450 vs. the original I bought for $350. (Easily fixed) but won't honor their PRICE MATCH GUARANTEE! (Because I used Snap) I highly recommend you shop around before you make a purchase here! Especially if you plan on using there programs OR paying CASH! Yes they waived a small fees here and there and took of $50 from a camera I purchased as well but in the end they still did honor their advertising which would had saved me an additional $100! read more

Went in on Saturday @1pm & although they have a lot of products (why I gave 2 stars), there was mo 1 in sight...the entire showroom was empty. We had to walk to the install bays to see anyone. There were 2 - 3 guys there but no 1 acknowledged us...it's as if we were invisible. After a few minutes, an older, short guy approached us & muttered something like can I help. I told him I'd like to replace the factory radio with a Bluetooth option & some new speakers. He looked on his computer & stated what was there. I mentioned a few brands to which he said no good anymore (probably doesn't carry). Then said "I don't want to scare you off but $1,200". That's it, no questions, options or demo of any kind. Maybe that's how they sell where he's from but I won't go there again. read more

Great work, and prices! Customer service was great! Happy with the end result. Would come back for my Next car. read more

investigating doing replacement speakers on my harley street glide. they had the knowledge to steer me in the right direction, in my case, 2 ohm which is stock vs. 4 ohm which i had my eye on. they said the 4 ohm would drop the volume. they have seen it before and advised against 4 ohm. they did not have any 2 ohms in the store but one quick call and 10 min. later, i had my upgraded 2 ohm speakers. thanks advanced audio. read more

Sent my son down to pick up an amp for his jeep. Charged him $325 dollars for a $250 dollar amp. Called after he purchased, I had already researched the unit, available everywhere for $250 and they quoted me $250. Charged him $325. Obviously the many poor reviews and comments of over charging people on the this business are correct. Not the way to do business, taking advantage of kid speaks volumes about this business. Spread the word, take your money to more reputable business. read more
