Just want to thank the technicians at Modesto Car Audio Depot for fixing my vehicles stereo system. Can't imagine the nightmare of a mess they had to go through to get the wiring fixed but they did it! Awesome prices and selection, even during these crazy times with shortages and all. Will definitely be back again for an upgrade and future vehicles. Thanks again guys. read more

Last year I bought a new Chevy truck that needed a few after market extras. My friends at the dealership recommended Car Audio Depot on McHenry so I checked them out. I still did some comparison shopping, and after visiting two other stores, I was back at Car Audio Depot. I was most impressed with their selection...the knowledgable and friendly staff as well as how fast they got me back on the road! I didn't think about the importance of a review until the other day when my daughters stereo went out! This purchase was just a simple inexpensive replacement stereo, but the crew at Car Audio Depot still treated us like gold...we both left very pleased and happy to share our experience. We are customers for life! read more

Even tho I had to go back a few times. We should have tested everything before we left. These guys are awesome. Helpful, knowledgeable answers all my silly questions. Very helpful. They didn't mind going back and fixing what was missed. read more

Store looks nice. If you must shop local it's got good stuff but you do pay a lot more for it.

I would recommend this place to anyone that need any electronics installs. Great prices. Go see Ron.

These guys know there stuff. Hella cool and shows love by cutting prices where ever he can. Hooked up my old daily rider , a 2002 quad tundra with 2 8s. Mids and tweets and a new stereo. Like I said. It's my daily to work and back and I'm going to enjoy the setup for years to come. Thank you guys. read more

I found Car Audio Depot through an online order return. I drove down from Sacramento, Ca to exchange my online order. I was Very impressed as soon as I walk in the door of this place it's like the Costco of stereo equipment. No ordering needed they pretty much have everything in stock. The customer service is GREAT they don't try to up sell you they try to give you the most bang for your budget. I left feeling excited I found this place and said to myself I most definitely will be a return customer. I returned a few months ago to buy a complete system drove from Sacramento, Ca about an hour away and was excited to do so. Brad is one of the sales associates who helped me on deciding on what I wanted. Once again I left feeling excited about my experience here. The customer service was great and Brad is very helpful. Don't just take my word for it stop by and see Brad then you be the judge. read more

Horrible installation, bad service, rigging contests, rude employees, bad communications

I went into the store and bought a part for my car and I ended up not using it. I went back the next day to return it and they said they only do store credit. I'm quite mad about this because while the receipt did say "no refunds," they failed to inform me BEFORE I bought the part. If I would have known they don't do refunds and only store credit, I wouldn't have bought the part. I basically wasted $20 there because I don't plan to buy anything using store credit. read more

Service is by far the worst. Paid a big deposit to buy somethings and then went back to get my deposit back because unexpectedly I need to do some mechanical work to my car. Note I didn't take anything out of the store!! It was strictly a deposit to buy some speakers etc Went in when they opened and the guy working asked if I could come back at 2pm because he didn't have enough cash to complete my refund. I drove 30 min to go back at 2pm for him and some other guy to tell me no refunds and that I can get store credit. Of course they couldn't call the store owner because he was out of town. Complete bull S***!!! I wouldn't recommended this place to any one!! read more

Awesome place to shop. Great customer service and the dude hooked it up for a killer price. Go to guys for anything!!

If you like being ripped off and called aa liar this is the place for you. I had my truck there for insurance they picked the place if I had known it would be here I would have refused because of previous rudeness and way overpriced items. First they give me a $100 radio after I informed the insurance company what I had gave them a pic and the model number they would honor what o said and gave me a piece of shit. After arguing I got an "upgrade" that still wasn't up to par plus charged me $150 more than Best Buy on same radio tired of the bs I gave in and accepted there crap then I get home to discover my steering wheel buttons half work so I call they tell me to bring it in I aid ok then I called back and said I was trading radios with my son should I change before I get there and he said yes so I do it and show up and these jerks say it's not under warranty because of different radio but they told me to change it wtf I didn't change the part they need to fix. SERIOUSLY DONT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY ASSHATS SINCE DAY 1 Buyer be ware read more

Watch out for the small print. No returns or cancellations even if you do not take delivery of the product and it's a stock product! Terrible customer service! read more

This place has horrible customer service and they don't know what they're doing! Just stay away, it's not worth the drama they deal out.

Ron is FANTASTIC! Been working with him and he had so much knowledge about the products there. He also gave me a great price for my new stereo system that was very reasonable. I will definetley refer people to them. read more

The staff was awesome and quick to install Alarm w remote start and. Apple car play installation. Loved them. Would highly recommend

I've heard this place was the best around, and I finally found out for myself. These guys are true professionals! I worked with Brad, who put a killer system together for me. I showed up the next morning when they opened. They got my truck right in. My truck could not fit the speaker box I chose, so they custom built one for me and had the complete system installed by closing!! The crew stayed an hour after closing to finish up and make sure I was happy, showing me how everything runs. This was a great experience. Very clean professional job, and my truck ROCKS!!!! I will be back and send as many people as I can your way...Thanks again Brad and install crew!!! read more

visited this store several times to purchase a stereo and could not get anyone to help me. busy telling someone that was not a buyer just how fancy they were. read more

Brad helped me get setup with my new deck, amp, and subs and I could not be happier! He was very knowledgeable and nice and hooked us up with everything I was looking for for $250 less than what Car Audio Outlawz offered me for better brands. If you're shopping for car audio supplies I'd definitely come here first. My husband got his setup from here too and it still knocks after 3 years and 2 cars later. read more

best experience by far. good customer service. I recommend this store to anyone after having a bad experience with Modesto car toys.. Car Audio Depot fix the problem and got me situated and I was very pleased with my stereo system and service thank you Audio Depot!!! read more

Came here on a Friday to get my windows tinted and I was nothing but impressed, they had amazing customer service and EXCELLENT work. I will be recommending every one here. 10/10! read more

I had a review on here and said this place rocked. Well just had a issue with Brad who sold me a jl audio HD amp and speakers. Almost a year later I hooked a oscope to the amp and it has a crazy signal coming out of it. Even the jl tech from the factory said it was not right. Told Brad about this and he did a song and dance about not wanting to give me a new amp. Even tho the warranty is for two years. This pissed me off now have to send it to jl. They will repair it for free but will be without a amp for two plus weeks. From the first experience I couldn't believe that I was really being treated like this. So beware. read more

Save yourself the headache. I decided to use these guys because they told me that they do all of the alarm installs for Modesto Mercedes, and I know Mercedes vehicles can be tricky to work with. After upselling me to an alarm system I could operate from my phone, they failed to complete the install - even after keeping it a full day longer than promised and calling me while almost there to notify me it wasnt done. It would be another week before they got the part in that they needed to complete the install (I had to call to check to see if it had arrived). They then kept the vehicle two more days only to inform me that they could not install the orriginally promissed system. Instead they offered to install another system that would provide the same functionality, but cost me 3x as much each year for the subscription. Whatever, at this point I just wanted my vehicle back. After picking up the vehicle the new system would not connect to my smartphone. I waited three days for a promised email - it never arrived. Called back, and was told to wait another day. Called later in the day and was given a 800 number which left me on hold for 35minutes. Called these jokers back and finally someone took the initiative to get into their system and generate the nessesary email. Everything works now, but my experience was very disapointing. read more

Super helpful staff. I went to them to get new speakers for my Mustang, then back to get new speakers for my current car. Both times they were very honest about the type of speakers I was getting and gave me a tremendous discount. They also got the install done quickly. Thanks guys! read more

Randy is the owner and Ron is the manager. When you are told time is money and all I asked is they retune my amp... there is a problem. Im paying close to $200 for installation of interior speakers.... you cant retune my amp for free? What will it take you.... 5 minutes?? Very unprofessional, rude, and obviously money hungry. I had to ask for my speakers back and walk out. Steer clear. What a joke. read more

I'm a difficult customer to deal with, I have a hundred questions and "better ideas" (in my head). They answered every question I had like it was the first one I asked. Extremely patient. I went in last minute and asked them to do a job that would have taken another shop weeks, they got it done for me in 2 days. The results exceeded my expectations. Now I think I officially have the loudest cleanest sounding Dynas around. Components in fairing, pdx alpine amp and deck, and jl 6x9 in bags. It's fudging dope. Thanks "Hi" installer (sooty can't spell his name but it's Hi, and Everyone at car audio dep read more

This place was such a rip off. Not only did I wait 10 minutes to get help. The guy blew me off mid convo to talk to another customer that he tried to charge to check something but she then replied that she had already asked and was told they wouldn't even fix it. read more

These guys know what they are doing! They also treat their customers like they should be treated. I took my car in today as the stereo was not working. They immediately took the car back and spent over an hour diagnosing the issue and fixing the stereo. It was beyond the warranty period but that didn't matter. All that mattered was making sure I was happy with a working stereo when I left the business. The part that had failed was $200 but they exchanged it no questions asked! I highly recommend this company if you are ever looking for a car stereo or other electronic device for your car. You will be happy that you are dealing with real professionals! I know I will not go anywhere else in the future! read more

Got a great deal on my stereo, they were real quick to have my business and I'm very happy with my new product. But after instillation, I noticed a few scratches on my dashboard. When I brought it to their attention they where very standoffish about the whole thing and an apology never came. Thinking they would have got a 5 star review here if they would have been more careful installing my new stereo. Advice! Take a photo of your dashboard before instillation and show it to them so they know prior to instillation you are on it. Perhaps then, they might be more careful and take a bit more time not to scratch your dashboard. read more

I've had them install an alarm and hook up an amp & speakers that came out of my old car. They did a great job. I was lucky enough to come in on a slow day, so everything was done that day. I left a happy customer. My hubby has been here before too for a speaker box for his truck. On his visit, they were very friendly & helpful. I highly recommend this place. read more

I tend to buy my car audio supplies on line. I go here for advice, and for the few things i cant install myself. I went to them with prices for 3 amps and they were able to meet the prices for all of them including a Line Driver. These guys know their stuff and are willing to help. Since i havent had them do any of my install i dont have much to say on that end. But when it comes to making sure i leave their store with the information i ask for they havent dropped the ball yet. read more

Helpful service and quick installation!! I needed my stock stereo (that still played cassettes) updated! They were able to accommodate my budget while still finding me exactly what I needed. read more

My 12 year old after market stereo took a crap while back and I was finally able to replace it. I went to Car Audio Depot and literally within 30 minutes I had a brand new stereo installed. I can't remember the man's name that helped me but he was very kind and answered all of my questions without trying to up-sell me. I needed a very basic stereo and I got a good quality one for a really good price. While I was waiting for my car to be ready I looked around their showroom and it looks like they have a lot of high and good quality stuff. I really like the service at this place and if I ever need anything further in the car audio department I will go back and I will also refer everyone I know to go there.. Thanks again guys great job read more

Update. every time I get in my car I find another freaking scratch or damage from these guys. No one else has been in my car. This time I found the installer ran my speaker cover screw way to far and damaged the cover its a jeep jk with visible covers in the roll bar. My recommendation to any looking for a new stereo is to stay away from these guys. Caused hundreds$ in damage including dents and scratched panels. They suck at installing. read more

This place is awesome all the staff is great and the customer service is amazing Ron and car audio depot are from now on my go to for all my car audio needs. read more

Ron is awesome. I had him build a sub box for my 2500HD eBay/Craigslist budget build. He spent tons of time talking with me like I was buying a $20k system. At no point did he try to up-sell me or sell me something I didn't need. After he installed the box he tuned the system for free and it sounds awesome! Great service! read more

I've had several car stereos and car alarm systems install by Car Audio Depot over a long stretch of years. I really appreciate their honesty, and longevity as an audio establishment in Modesto. I recently went to another well known car audio place in Modesto, and was completely scammed/ripped off. I knew something wasn't right. I want to say Thank-You to Brad King, and the nice Asian man that installed my stereo speakers. They sound great. I got top quality equipment. I didn't get ripped off. They took me into the install bay, and showed me the entire process going on inside of my vehicle. The other place called Audio Pros of Modesto charged me for speakers and installation, and left the stock speakers in instead of replacing them. WOW...bad business practices! I'm glad to know Car Audio Depot is there, and is trustworthy! Thanks :) read more

I normally get my audio parts online, but occasionally I need something right now. they have some of the better stuff ARC JL Zapco... If you know your prices they'll deal with you. read more

Extremely happy, yet again with my experience! Brad was the nicest salesperson ever. He took the time to set up my system for me and make sure all my questions were answered. The quality of work and level of satisfaction I have the second time around with this place is as fantastic as my first experience!!!! read more

Great shop. Very helpful and knowledgeable. Probably one of the best auto-related shops I've been to for my Honda Element. I'll be back!
