BRISTOL SOUND IS THE REAL DEAL! I recently purchased a 2027 vehicle and brought it to Alex and his team at Bristol Sound in Santa Ana to completely upgrade the look and sound and WOW... they absolutely delivered! I had window tint installed all the way around, including the windshield, subwoofers, and 24" rims and tires, and let me tell you... SHE LOOKS AMAZING! The transformation is incredible, and the work speaks for itself. What really stood out to me was the entire experience. Alex and his staff were knowledgeable, honest, professional, and extremely easy to communicate with. They kept me informed throughout the process, gave me a great price, and most importantly, the workmanship was impeccable. You can tell they take pride in what they do and don't cut corners. The attention to detail was on point, everything was done with precision, and the final result exceeded my expectations. Definitely 10 STARS If you're looking to upgrade your vehicle whether it's tint, wheels, sound, or a complete transformation I highly recommend Bristol Sound in Santa Ana! Take your vehicle to Alex and his team. You'll be glad you did! read more

I had an excellent experience at Bristol Sound! We came in to have a kill switch installed, and Alex took great care of us from start to finish. His response time was incredibly fast, we were seen immediately, and the installation was completed quickly without sacrificing quality. Alex has over 25 years of experience, and it definitely shows. The pricing was transparent, the service was professional, and the entire process was smooth and stress-free. They also have a huge selection of rims, security systems, tires, speakers, and window tint, making them a great one-stop shop for vehicle upgrades. Overall, this was a fantastic experience. I'll definitely be coming back for future work and highly recommend Bristol Sound to anyone looking for honest, knowledgeable, and efficient service! read more

Bristol Sound - My son's new SRT - Car Stereo Installation Near Me - Santa Ana, California

BAIT AND SWITCHED!! I DO NOT RECOMMEND COMING HERE I DO NOT RECOMMEND COMING HERE I DO NOT RECOMMEND COMING HERE I called many audio places and this place had the best price. But when you arrive, they tack on all these add on fees. Some of them made sense and some don't even exist. Called and got a quote for $500. Get there and there's 2 options, wired or Bluetooth. Fine. $100 upgrade. ($600) Then the frame is extra. $150 for plastic? Ouch.. fine. Then $150 to wire the steering wheel to the radio.. fine. That's $900 now. Then they said they would "basically" throw in the back up cam for "like- free" ($20) So.. how did that tally up to $1000 plus tax? They're doing scammer math here. And after all of that. The back up cam is like an 8bit game from back in the day. It's outrageously pixelated and I told them it's embarrassing that they are even offering such a product. I DO NOT RECOMMEND COMING HERE and now I'm out $1100 An installer down the street would've done it for me for $850. read more

Roberto did a great job installing a new backup camera in our Dodge Grand Caravan. Alex had given me an estimate of cost as well as approximately how long it would take. The job was done in half the time and for less than I expected...a win win all around! Thanks so much Roberto and Alex, my family will know about Bristol Sound for sure! read more

Just amazing!!!!! The guys were great!!! Such a professional team of workers. I left my car there thinking it would take hours. It was only minutes! An excellent installation of my new screen and backup camera that just so clean and easy to use! This was three weeks ago and it's still great! Quality for the value was perfect! Service installed was perfect! read more

Service was fast and at a great price. Will definitely go back for other projects. They were able to get me in last minute and took great care of my car read more

I was recommended over to them and it wasn't worth it. I needed to remove my system because im trading in my car. I dealt with the owner Mike. He was rude and acted like I didn't know what I had in my own car. I was then going to take that equipment and install it in a new car. When I first messaged them via Yelp they knew exactly what I had and when Mike saw the car I told what I had as well. He then tells me oh its more money now I didn't know what it is you had. Like yeah you did. So then they proceed to stop at the removal becuase i wasnt about to over pay. Pick up the car and they put the speakers on backwards on top of that. So now my front speakers are in the back and my back speakers are in the front. Definitely dont recommend this place. read more

Bristol Sound - Proof that they knew that i was dealing with. - Car Stereo Installation Near Me - Santa Ana, California

I submitted a quote request for an alarm system for my truck and Alex was the first one to respond. He was very helpful with all my questions and concerns. Other companies weren't familiar with my type of truck. Alex explained to me about the length of time it would take to install and the price. All the technicians were friendly as well. Overall my experience with Bristol Sound was great. I'm definitely coming back to have cameras installed next. They have a small lounge area with a tv for you to wait in if you're not planning on leaving. NGL I took a nap in there. lol Mike made a cute video for social media of my truck too! Thanks guys!! See you soon. read more

Bristol Sound - Alpine Stereo BT - Car Stereo Installation Near Me - Santa Ana, California

Was quoted $600 for a lift on my truck and other things. I provided a link to the lift so Mike could give me a proper quote. I came in and the price jumped to $1k install with a 2day turn around which ended up being five days. He then quoted me $200 to change out the bushings which then jumped to $600 after he got into the job. The shop is a total bait and switch when it comes to doing any mechanical work on your vehicle. My truck doesn't even drive straight and I'll have to put about another $600 dollars into it. Save the time and hassle unless you're getting a simple speaker install. read more

Bristol Sound - Here's his quote which is total BS. - Car Stereo Installation Near Me - Santa Ana, California

I have a 2012 VW Beetle and wanted to add CarPlay. Contacted Bristol Sound, Alex answered, told me to stop by. He was professional and helpful, recommended some options for the service requested. He offered me a complete install done that day well under my budget! Great deal and professional service. I couldn't recommend this team more! read more

I'd give zero stars if possible . Thieves and scammers. "started" working on it. When there was nothing to work on yet . asked for my keys to check a size on the door . Walk up in your vehicle without permission and drive it in the garage. Shady people. They try to put you on stuff you don't want and what they can't get rid of . Run your credit without asking you first. And then they all disappear when you try to ask questions Supposedly fixed my radio , still wasn't working but they ended breaking my door panel for some reason. Said it was 60 bucks and tried to get me for over 300. Very unprofessional . Less crooks in a jail cell read more

I bought some lionheart tires that made my old SUV sound like an airplane. But these guys took them back no questions asked and let me upgrade to Falcons and I just paid the difference. This is my new tire shop for all my cars! read more

Cant recommend this place more! I knew nothing about my blown out speakers and my xar sounds amazing! From the back up cameras I feel safe and the sound is perfect! Great customer service last and the best part cabt beat the price! Tha k you so very much read more

I needed an upgrade on my stereo screen in my RV van. After researching what I wanted, I went to two different stereo install companies here in the area for quotes. One shop was going to way charge for an install, a second, very deceptive quote upon acceptance call to have work done. Alex, was amazing, upgraded model, installed immediately, saved me a lot of money also. You won't be charged according to what you drive, these guys are honest and install was the best. read more

Just wanted to add an update that I started having issues with my connection to my phone with the stereo. I moved two hours away but I still drove to Bristol Sound to ask for them to check it out.

Bristol Sound - New Radio system - Car Stereo Installation Near Me - Santa Ana, California

Best place to get a sound upgrade at a reasonable price in Southern California! Whether you're looking for a sub and amp or a full system upgrade, these guys got you! Some of the guys here have been here for 30+ years! Most of the dudes here really do know all the technical stuff like product specs, power handing, setting amp gains, setting epicenters. They're exceptional! So far I've gotten a 12" single sub install (full package) for less than $1k in a 2020 premium luxury suv. Other shops quoted me well over 2k just because it was a fancy car. I requested a full system upgrade for a 2016 premium model sedan(not luxury). And once again they came through! My sedan sounds just as good as the suv I also got a tint for the sedan. If high fidelity audio is what you want out of your ride's system, then come to Bristol sound. They will give you exactly what you ask for. read more

Bad service , workers are too rushed, didn't even sand down the ground connection, or adjust the amp just put everything on max

Alex at Bristol sound was very helpful and professional. He told me to come by gave me quote that was very reasonable and completed the install in a few hours. I would definitely recommend them and I'll definitely be going back. read more

My first experience with Bristol Sound was in 2020 and I appreciate how genuine they were with their service and pricing. I had to go back to change my front window tint due to a ticket and not only were they empathic to my situation but they made sure to help me and inform me of how to resolve it :) read more

Stumbled into Bristol Sound over a year ago to get my struts looked into and instead of overselling me something I didn't necessarily need, Alex kept it honest and gave me the fix I needed and nothing more, nothing less. He did recommend that I replace my shocks and to look into upgrading with a lift kit, which I have always wanted to do but it wasn't the right time for me. Fast forward to over a year later and decided to finally pull the trigger and since Alex took care of me when most shops could've taken advantage of upselling, I decided to go back to Bristol Sound for my lift kit and wheel/tire upgrade. There's a lot to choose from with their wheel selection but ultimately landed on what caught my eye the most and Alex and Mike hooked me up. My 4Runner came out looking really good and I'm very happy with the outcome and the service I received. I'd definitely come back here again! read more

had an outstanding experience with Alex at Bristol Sound. From start to finish, everything was handled with the highest level of professionalism. The quality of the work was top-notch -- clean, precise, and clearly done with care and expertise. What really stood out was the customer support. Alex was incredibly responsive, patient with all my questions, and genuinely committed to making sure I was happy with the final result. The installation process was smooth and efficient, with great attention to detail. If you're looking for someone who truly cares about the quality of their work and goes above and beyond for their customers, I can't recommend Alex and Bristol Sound enough. Solid 10/10. read more

Would leave zero stars if possible. The place just felt sleezy and dishonest all the way around when you are in there. The guy sitting down leaning back in the chair with grey hair was such a condescending a hole for no reason. Definitely go here if you want to completely waste your time and get talked to like you are an idiot just by relaying what a previous installer told you. Stay away at all costs. What a joke!!! read more

I recently brought my car to Bristol Sounds for assistance with an issue related to my existing dash cam. Although the dash cam was not originally installed by them--and the shop that did the installation is no longer in business--I chose Bristol Sounds based on their positive Yelp reviews. I clearly explained the situation during our initial communication, received a quote that I approved, and scheduled an appointment for a Saturday morning. When I arrived for the appointment, the manager at the counter (who I assume may be the owner, based on our interaction) declined to work on my car. He stated that the are busy on Saturdays and that my job was too small for them to do. Despite my confirmed appointment, he insisted they would not perform the work and suggested I return on a weekday. I asked to speak with Alex, the staff who had helped me schedule the appointment, but my request was denied. I was told rudely that having an appointment did not matter and that I would need to come back on a weekday. While I was feeling frustrated and unsure of what to do next, Alex happened to come by, greeted me, and kindly took care of the situation. He completed the work efficiently within about 40 minutes. Although I'm still giving the shop a 5-star rating due to the quality of the work and Alex's professionalism, I believe the customer service -- particularly how the manager interaction with customers -- could be improved. read more

Went by to ask a question about a problem with my car alarm system. I didn't get his name but the employee was super helpful. Instead of taking advantage of my lack of knowledge in the situation, they were honest about what they can do and helped to find a better solution elsewhere. I would recommend this place, especially as a young woman since they could have easily made a quick buck knowing they couldn't have solved the problem. Will be coming in the future! :) read more

I came in initially for a qoute on front end suspension as mine were completely and utterly used up, scrunching and jangling noise on every bump. I left with new front and rear suspension, and a loyal customer! It's hard to find places or people you can trust. That was not the case here, Mike and staff were resorting, friendly, professional and more than reasonable. That's all a man can ask for in today's world. Which is more than enough. Thank you guys!! God bless! read more

Mike and Alex are awesome. Great selection of car stereo equipment and wheels also. Reasonable prices, fantastic service. Very pleased and will return. read more

I brought in 2 cars years apart and had a great experience both times. Car "alarms" put in each and it was a very easy smooth process with great service. read more

I searched on Google to see where I could go get a subwoofer and an amp installed because I am am not from this area. I decided to try out Bristol sound. I will give them five out of five stars for customer service. I was greeted by Alex and he couldn't be more friendly and helpful and not to mention honest which you can't find these days . Also, what would it be like if the customer service was great and the job was horrible? WELL IT WAS THE EXACT OPPOSITE. I got a 12 inch kicker and a 1000 W amp installed and I couldn't be any more happier not only was the installation done excellently, but they went out of their way to fix all the stuff that was done wrong by another place. Anyways, if you need any car Stereo stuff done I recommend this place to everybody. My system sounds f&@"n bad ass!!They are the best.!!!! read more

These guys know what they are doing! From start to finish everyone was helpful and knowledgeable Initially connected with Mike, and he was accommodating as well as helpful by answering all my questions with professionalism.

I will be back read more
