Best service i have ever received at a radio repair place. I had new battery installed in my car. After the installment, my radio stop working so I thought it was a short fused that need to to be changed for my radio to work. The guy that repaired my radio told me all it need is to be reset and did not charge me for his service ​ read more

I had a really good experience at Bakersfield Car Audio and Stereo. So first off, they schedule by appointment only and actually service you ON TIME, huge plus. They have a little waiting room, which was clean and comfortable, with a TV and a little heater/fireplace for the winter. I came in to have an alarm installed with sensors. I've been here years before with my old car and they did great work then too, so I felt confident coming back. The alarms they use are high quality and work very well. The installation itself was very professionally done, and the alarm works exactly as I wanted, it's very sensitive and reliable, which gives me great Peace of Mind, especially with all the break ins that have been happening in the neighborhood recently. The guy who worked on our car was friendly and the receptionist was friendly as well. They did have to special order a part because the tilt sensor module didn't fit our car, so we had to wait an extra 1-2 weeks. Once the part came in, he installed it very quickly. Their prices are very fair, we called a couple of other shops and they were definitely more expensive compared to Bakersfield car and audio. Overall, I'm very satisfied and would highly recommend them. read more

Johnny at Bakersfield Car Audio and Stereo is amazing! I wanted an upgrade for my 2011 Scion and he was the perfect person to talk to. Now I have a great stereo with a backup cam, two huge upgrades for an amazing price! Thanks again! read more

Great service very helpful full Fast work look great and expressive explaining on the service read more

Great service. Super friendly. They installed new speakers in my vehicle. Great job guys!!!!!

I was able to make a same day appointment to have my car radio replaced, and they were able to install it quickly and at a very reasonable price. They demonstrated all the new features after installation, which are quite a bit nicer than my original sound system. Thank you for providing such quick and excellent customer service! I am so happy to have a working radio again! read more

I came by the store to find out how much labor would be if I had the part. He told me how much it would cost and I also made an appointment for that Saturday. I dropped off my car on that day. It took about 2 hours to complete the job. Before I paid, I made sure everything was working. Work was done perfectly. read more

* bad customer service * first Pioneer radio quit after 2 years. 2nd radio quit after 3 months. I moved out of state and they basically said there's nothing they can do. Said the warranty was good for 2 years, that was bs. Are you going to cover the cost of removing , shipping it to your business and reinstalling it? read more

Quality work from installers and techs . Overall experience? Less than favorable. First thing to mention is , was promised a proper line output converter in vehicle that works with factory plug ins which was never installed ( Wires were just tapped ) ( as they stated we could not do first day ?!? ) . Secondly held the car for a WHOLE DAY with no work done just be told they did not have said Line out converter at the end of the day . When I did drop car off a whole week later (only availablity they had) it was installed nice and neat . Pricing in general would not consider great never got a detailed invoice or price breakdown , from my own calculations and the said expenses for labor still doesn't add up especially noting that these calculations were made with retail prices ?shopped my exact installed items with labor and was cheaper everywhere else I asked ??. The line output converter they did install went bad after a month of having it ( not on them mainly the manufacturer i guess) (want to reiterate this was supposed to be the second item in the whole installation but they did not install proper LOC to factory plugins as promised) . Reached out and was informed they could swap it out, when I let them know I lowered gains on both the LOC and AMP they informed me that my warranty could be voided after doing so ?!?!? Didn't care about getting it replaced in fact I never went back because I did not want to deal with whether or not I had voided warranty by LOWERING GAINS .In general great for anyone who has little to NO EXPERIENCE in car audio . If you have any inkling please consider looking to do it yourself with proper research or an experienced professional. Installers and techs great guys , great work . Front desk people could use some warmth , very cold and dry when dealing with customers not only with me but with others in line as well . read more

I purchased a Pioneer radio and had it installed at this business. 2 years later, it stopped working. They told me it was a "bad year" for that model. They sold me a new one, and since it had a 2 year warranty, and has been "upgraded" I would be happy with it. 3 months later, it quit working. I moved out of state, and they said I now need to remove it, send it to them so they an diagnose it. I asked if they were going to reimburse me for the cost. NOPE. BEWARE of this dealer. They have to be selling bad merchandise, and the customer service is the worst Ive every dealt with. read more

Thank you to all the friendly employees, they installed a front and rear dash cam on my 2023 Toyota Corolla! They did an exceptional job, all the cables are flush & the value for their work is . Highly recommend this location for anyone needing a dash cam installed. read more

Bakersfield Car Audio and Stereo - Car Stereo Installation Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Highly recommend Johnny and his crew. I went in for an alarm and kill switch instillation and was very pleased with the customer service. They were friendly, quick, thorough, and took the time to answer my questions. Johnny was honest and upfront when they accidentally installed the wrong alarm system - a better system than what I had paid for. Johnny allowed me to keep the better alarm and did not charge extra for it. Although the alarm upgrade was nice, I am more impressed with Johnny's honesty as I would not have known any better. I will definitely be a return customer. read more

They are the best! Reliable and professional! Very clean install. I bought the equipment a few years back. They installed it within 4 hours. read more

I went in on a Saturday and I told them what I wanted my alarm system to exactly do and he picked it out for me since I I am not educated in this department. It's very simple and I'm sure my neighbors will hate me because if you bump it m, lean on it, or look at it too hard it's going to be going off. Lol. It was cheaper than what I was quoted and to be honest it's one of the few places open on Saturdays. read more

See all

The entire staff at Bakersfield Car Audio and Stereo are awesome. They are friendly and knowledgeable......and explain high-tech stuff in a way that is understandable to the average citizen. They installed a front and rear dash cam system in an Audi which is no easy task considering the smallness of the cabin. All cables were expertly hidden and the interior trim showed absolutely no evidence of being disturbed. The system worked perfectly......and the installer even took the time to patiently explain the operation of the system, and the app, to the owner. If you want a clean, trouble-free install with excellent follow-up I highly recommend these guys. We'll certainly go back to BCA & S for any future electronic needs! read more

Johnny went above and beyond what I thought was going to be a nightmare Johnny got me in and out while traveling to la and I didn't even skip a beat! Highly suggest this shop and will be back again when it's time to upgrade apprieacte the quick service read more

These guys at Bakersfield Car Audio & Stereo are awesome!! We got our alarm and remote start for our truck here a few years ago and have loved it ever since! It's so convenient and truck is cool when we get in in the summer or warmed up for us on those chilly winter mornings! We had an issue with our battery this last spring and the remote start and alarm started having issues, so we took it in to BCA&S and they checked it out. When we talked it over with them they figured out the system just needed to be re-programmed... they got us taken care of and everything is working just like new again!! Love these guys & highly recommend!! read more

Spoke with Johnny, very friendly and explained things detail by detail did a very good job on my truck and it was a quick turn around. Will for sure be going back for other things. Good prices and easy to work with. read more

I needed a dash cam hard wired both front and back cameras to my car and Bakerfield Car Audio and Stereo was one of the few establishments in Bakersfield that installs hard wire dash cams. Work was very professionally done in a timely manner. They also paired my cell phone to my dash cam. Would I recommend Bakersfield Car Audio and Stereo? My answer would be absolutely "Yes". I was very happy with their work. read more

Good people with good service. Will be going coming back again for sure. I have another truck that needs some work.

Knowledgeable, responsive and friendly. Will definitely be returning for any alarm/stereo needs

Went in with a brand new sierra, took my own equipment for a bass install. They did amazing work, professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. These guys have great prices and great work. Definitely recommend read more

My husband brought a system he had in his old vehicle; the owner, Johnny, recommended that we use the same equipment that we had already and let them build a custom box and tune it for us instead of trying to upsell us on equipment. It came out better than we ever expected and sounds great! Definitely will be going back and sending all our friends their way! read more

Had them install the alarm I provided in my older Dodge minivan and it was clean. Definitely will recommend to others. Thank you!

Johnny was super helpful with picking a new Apple CarPlay stereo that would work with my daughter's 2000 Tacoma and then offered to do the install right then and there. Great customer service and I definitely recommend BCA. read more

Unfortunately they were not able to fully take care of me but it wasn't their fault, but customer service was good, Johnny was very knowledgeable, they were very honest and upfront with me and I was honest back when they accidentally left a set of new speakers in my truck when they gave me it back, I'll be coming back, thanks Johnny! read more

Bakersfield Car Audio and Stereo - Outside - Car Stereo Installation Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Johnny was delightful to work with. He's professional and friendly. He gave me a quote to fix my old 2010 Mazda, which I thought was low, because I had taken my car to the local dealership and they were 4x the cost! I'm not exaggerating! I bought my part (an amp) from EBay for about $200+. Labor was $80.00. The dealership estimated repair to be $1500!!!! Additionally, Johnny synced my phone with my car Bluetooth. He didn't charge me like other places would. He's a gentleman! Everybody was so nice at this place. I definitely would take any car audio issues/repair to Bakersfield Car Audio. read more

I took my car in yesterday to have an alarm installed and they did the pretty amazing job. However, there is something else they did that went above and beyond the alarm install. They took care of my dash cam wiring making it look really clean. I didn't ask them to do this for me, but rather took the initiative and did what they do best. These are guys are definitely amazing. If you have any audio or alarm needs, this is the place to go. read more

Good service they helped me install a backup camera on my car that i purchased on amazon. Works great I'm happy with it.

I would normally give this review higher stars because I liked their knowledge and friendliness. However, when I mentioned to them how their Saturday installer ripped a gash in my dashboard where the stereo was installed they denied it and treated me like I was lying about it and did the damage myself. What they don't realize is this is an expensive car that I treat with the uptmost love and respect and when I take it somewhere to have something done with it I expect the same treatment. I have thought about going to them again when I want upgrades done in the future, but now not so sure. If they cant be honest and own up to what happened and cant offer to pay for the damage they did, then I am not sure if I can trust them do to any more upgrades on my stereo in my car in the future. I understand that accidents happen. But atleast own up to it and offer to fix it when they do instead of acting shady and denying that it happend. My husband and I have had to try to clue these plastic parts back in that the installer tried do hide by just sticking the broken pieces back into the dash hoping we wouldn't notice but we did. Not sure how we are going to get it fixed or how much it is going to cost.. but any reputable and honest company would pay for the damage they caused. When someone brings a car in to you to have you do a stereo install treat it with better care than you did mine. Or you should be liable for the damages that you cause. read more

These guys were on it!!! Walked in, needed my tailgate camera installed and my steering wheels controls module hooked up. Did both within 45 minutes and I was out of there! First time customer and will definitely be back!!!! read more

Excellent service from quote to finish. Would highly recommend. Quick note...when you're waiting for your vehicle to be finished, and you get a call from 'Uneek Supply', answer it. It's Bakersfield Car Audio and Stereo. They had my car ready in just a couple of hours (way faster than I had planned) but I didn't answer the call from 'Uneek Supply' and my car sat there until the afternoon. Completely my fault. Just wanted to let everyone know. Very friendly people! read more

Went to get a quote on a purchase and installation of a car stereo CD player and rear view camera. They asked for my phone number said they would call me that afternoon and never heard back. Went to best buy after several days and they handled it. They could have had my lay down sale but they blew it.. read more

Currently my rating is for his response time to contact me back an his bejng such a kind man when i spoke with him. He seemed very knowledgeable an i like that. I have not been able to get in yet my appointment is set for Monday morning an I must say he made me feel 100% comfortable on the phone . Though my needs as far as technical difficulties are very small explaining what I needed an why was a task an he was patient calm an extremely professional. I hope very much that it continues once I meet up with Johnny. Im looking forward to it an will update with more info once it's warranted read more

I gave these guys carte blanche to sell me speakers on top of the installation of a brand new car stereo and a new, but year-old dashcam my wife had purchased for my birthday the year before. The price to install stereo and dashcam,$375.00. I get a call from Ryan who informs me that he wasn't going to sell me something I don't need. I'm also informed that they cannot get the dashcam to come on. I'm very disappointed but now discouraged that I will have to pay for the dashcam installation anyway. The not working dashcam is not on them. I go down to retrieve my truck and Johnny the sales mgr. informs me that they felt bad for me and are not going to charge me for the dashcam installation. They had me and I was prepared to pay them $375.00. Instead, I tipped them $50.00 and told them how impressed I was with their honesty. Ryan said he knows how hard people work for their money and he has a conscience. Lucky for me. I will bring any work in regards to my needs and their skills without hesitation. And will recommend without question. My new stereo and old speakers also work great. And they did all and cleaned up their mess. A great bunch of guys with an honest business. I love this place! read more

I recommend this business they are great honest and reliable. They help me with a poorly installed alarm. They recommended me to another good business because they trusted them. 100% good business. read more

My husband and I purchased a Sony deck and 12" speaker for my sons car. Johnny helped my husband with the purchase by advising him what would work best for my sons car. He was very informative and helpful. My son and husband installed it themselves. They had a couple of small issues so they called Johnny and he had them bring in the car. We brought it in and they fixed it within and hour. They were awesome! Great customer service and experts at what they do. I don't usually go out of my way to leave a review but definitely wanted to leave some feedback and recommend this place! read more
