I needed a new stereo and an alarm AND I wanted my driving lights and dashcam installed at the same time. This place handled all those tasks perfectly, walked me through using everything once it was finished. Great service at a fair price. read more

Cal was awesome! He installed my stereo in a matter of a couple hours. Give me the best deal in town. I had a separate electric issue with my car going on, and he help me isolate the issue. I had issues with the stereo over a year later. Went back to him and he fixed it for me! Highly recommend this location! read more

Walked in with no appt and was warmly greeted. Explained what I was looking for and they had a few options for me. They were able to take my car and install just then. Got my call a few hours later and my car was ready. Great product, great prices and amazing service! Highly recommend these guys if you are looking for some car audio. read more

Took my g35 in the owner hooked me up with a touchscreen, housing unit, sub, amp, and install for Ana amazing price and the cant car sounds amazing like imax movie theater quality amazing base and super clear voice love driving my car even more now read more

Awesome service here, quick and thorough. Will definitely come here for all my car audio needs

This place is one of the best as far as car stereo, car speaker, & Bluetooth selections in the area. Kal was very knowledgeable and was able to direct me to two separate stereos for both of my cars within a year. I would definitely suggest his business! He was even able to help me with a problem I was having that was not related to installation. Would definitely highly recommend!! read more

Kal is the man! Extremely knowledgeable with audio systems he was able to answer all the questions I had in regards to the stereo I was purchasing. read more

Needed ONE new tire... I checked here first. This place was going to charge me over $300 for ONE TIRE!! ... I shopped around and found that everywhere else is charging $150 for the exact same tire. Total scammers!! BEWARE!! read more

I've been taking my cars here for years, since the 90s, probably over 5 cars now, and have recommended tons of people over the years. Not sure I will be doing that any longer. I've known these guys a long time, but they don't even remember me. Goes to show how much they care about their customers. For as long as I've know Khal and Car Stereo Masters, prices have always been a bit higher. It was not much of a problem before because of convenience (my parents live walking distance), and I had a place to hang out while they worked on my car. I've been taking cars here way before broadband and Yelp days. Now with Yelp, you have so many more choices and the truth about these shady spots comes out. I would have liked to give this shop more stars, considering how long I've known them, but after really seeing the quality of the work done, I won't think to even take my cars here again or recommend to anyone. To be fair, it's not the owner Khal's fault, but some of the tweakers he hires; I don't know, either they are overworked or incompetent. The wiring done by these guys is super sloppy. Since the wiring is all behind the scenes, you won't know how sloppy it is til you take apart your car. You may not find the result of sloppy wiring til years down the road when your car starts to short circuit and smoke on you, something that happened to me; luckily I was able to find the fault before my car burnt down. In addition, pieces and screws are not put back in place or go missing which devalues your car when you try to resell it. Lastly, do not get a tint job here. First off it's overpriced. Go to groupon or living social and you'll find much better quality deals there. They will try to sell it to you with a "lifetime" warranty. I came back to take advantage of the lifetime warranty because my tint was peeling. Some of it was was also scratched (which is not covered). Get clarification on this so called "lifetime" warranty before making a decision. I was not even offered a discount, just absurd full price quotes to replace my tint that I originally purchased at Car Stereo Masters which did not last, only to be quoted shameful rip off prices, compared to other tint shops. My sister got her tint job here as well and is now cloudy and bubbling. Read other reviews here and hear about their bad "lifetime warranty" experiences. Sadly and lastly, I gotta say thumbs down to this place and have to part ways to a better stereo and tint shop. read more

Great product and great customer service. I was very happy with the service I received and even happier with the product. I would highly recommend this place. I will update if necessary. read more

Mike is knowledgable, available, careful, and down right awesome!!! Prices are below par, work done is way above par! This guy is the definition of GOLD STANDARD!! read more

Car Stereo Masters - Alex is da bomb! - Car Stereo Installation Near Me - Whittier, California

See all

I Had my system put in here a few months back, and just went to add onto the system and found out this shop put exposed, torn, used and very much ABUSED wires into my car. I went back and told the owner and even though there were no cars in the lot at all he sarcastically told me he was too busy to fix it and I would have to reschedule for sometime next month, even though he was the one practically yanking my keys from hand when I went in the first time to purchase my first subs. My experience with the owner goes down as the worst customer service I've ever experienced in my life. I wouldn't recommend this place to my worst enemy. read more

Installed a bluetooth, ipod, usb capable head unit + adapter in 1999 pathfinder on Christmas Eve, just under $200, power antenna works now, and fixed the 12V lighter on my car at no extra charge, total time 30 minutes. After installation I got a 5 minute tutorial, and they paired my phone with the unit, no issues. Mic was installed cleanly in the driver side A pillar, hardly noticeable, and very well mounted. Incredible. Would recommend them again, and I will be going back for a subwoofer soon also! read more

Had to re do my car system great service n excellent quality products highly recommend this pLace to everyone been here for ever that in it self speaks for it self read more

When in for an alarm installation, owner told me it would be a couple of hours. He also said he was going to change the door pins . At the end of the day it took 6 hours, only one door pin was changed. Only the left side of the lights turn on when I activate the alarm & I can open the passenger door and the alarm doesn't go off ???? Such a horrible experience I never went back. I'll just get it done right somewhere else. read more

If you're looking for a car stereo shop that has technical expertise and quality installation I strongly recommend that you go to Car Sterio Masters in Whittier California. I have a classic 1964 Volvo 122s. I selected a vintage Retrosound radio and Kal the owner of the shop selected 4 Infinity speakers for my car. Mike the installer did a beautiful custom installation of the radio and speakers. The quality of the sound and the features of the radio are absolutely wonderful. The real bottom line is, these are honest guys that know what they're doing and do real good work for a real fair price. read more

Car Stereo Masters - Car Stereo Installation Near Me - Whittier, California

I was looking for a place to upgrade the HD of my Honda S2000 and stopped by on Friday after work. Two hours later I left with installed new speakers, amp and head unit all working and sounding good. I was happy with the service. read more

Khal hooked me up..... I was in the market for a specific amp. Khal did not have it in stock but was able to order it and I picked it up the next day. He also gave me the best price around for the unit. I was able to pick Khal's brain for a bit regarding future upgrades to my system and he was more than willing to give suggestions/advice and he was NOT pushy at all for a sell. I told him I would come back when I was ready to add more upgrades. All in all I had a positive experience with Car Stereo Masters. read more

Came by with my own amp and install kit. They installed it for $50 flat. Did a really nice job. Very professional. They also have a nice leather couch to watch TV while you get your car serviced. As far as audio equipment, they have a ton of brand new subs. They also have some used ones already in boxes. read more

Don't know why I took so long to leave a review. I've been here 3 times over the course of 3-4 years and have been happy every single time. Best prices around, down to earth people, and super knowledgeable. I trust them with everything. Seriously, just trust me. Only bad thing is because they're so busy it's hard to find a good time to schedule appointments. I normally just try to be there early in the morning when they open to drop off my ride. The most important thing I've found about Mike (main guy who does installs), is that he's honest. They won't try to upsell you or bullshit you on stuff you don't need. If you have components that are fine, they won't tell you it sucks and you should swap em for something that they sell. On one occasion, the 4ch amp I bought was faulty when they were installing the rest of my system, and the owner called to let me know and offer me a VERY CHEAP price on a way better, brand new JL amp. I said okay and showed up 2 hours later and my system was bumping better than it ever had. I refer all my friends to Car Stereo Masters, they know their shit. read more

This place is quick. Went up there today, Mike had a guy install a radio I purchased from walmart. Mike said the install would take about 1 hr. They have a decent but comfy leather chair and a 2 person leather chair that faces a TV. 25 min goes by and Mike says the install is finished. Works great! Thanks Mike! I'll definitely come here in the future for more stereo needs! They have a great selection of car stereos, subwoofers, amplifiers, etc. Definitely a great place to get the job done!

I went in to get my back up camera on my car replaced. Very friendly and as he was looking at my car he even explained what labor will be involved to get the task done so I did appreciate that. He did forget to call me back to tell me my car was complete & ready for pick up but hey, we're all human & he was busy working hard so I didn't mind. I was given a very fair price compared to other places. Definitely recommend & would come back if other projects come arise. read more

I have been going to this place for previous installations for my older car. The owner as well as the other workers have always been polite, professional, and honest. I have not had a bad experience with them. I continue to recommend them to my friends who are looking into improving their sound system or tinting. read more

I went to this shop where both gentlemen John, and Richard both helped me out with such great customer care. I was in a collision with another vechicle and was hit on the driver side fender. I thought my car was done! With just a shock replacement and some little dents lifted I was back on the road within a day and a half! Thank you to this shop for working to my needs a In a timely manor. read more

I was looking for a sleeve for my Pioneer stereo that I wanting to install myself to my car. I called the store to see if they had one in stock and I was told to come by and they would see if they had one that would fit and that it would only cost around 5 or 10 dollars. I thought that was a very fair price. Later in the day I went over to their store and they tried every available sleeve on my stereo to see if one fit. Unfortunately, the perfect match was not found however they did find one that fit almost perfectly. Since the perfect match was not available, the owner (presumably) told me I could have it for free. FREE! WOW. I thanked the man and I installed my radio without a hitch thanks to their generosity and willingness to help me get the last piece needed to finish my project. read more

I have to say, I was hesitant about trying this place at first, but I did and was quite suprised. You need to get with Mike for your audio & electronic needs. He was helpful, knowledgeable, & more importantly, he gives you options. I had a stereo & speakers installed in my 1976 Jimmy & he did such a good job, I came back the same day to have speakers put in my Tacoma & he also fixed my auto door lock that's been broken for over a year. If you've overlooked this place, check it out. It's much better than it appears. read more

Great service and very knowledgeable people. Have been coming here for over 5 years now for all my car electronics needs

SCAM! Beware don't take your car in here!! Brought my car in because of a noise, Mike said it was the front and back mounts he charged $300 to "fix it". The car didn't last 24 hours before the noise was back even worse than before.. Trusted mike again and he swindled another $130 dollars to "fix" the left mount (which he said was the true cause of the noise). I picked the car up and he promised me he had "Richie the mechanic" test drive it and it sounded perfect, i was gullible enough to trust him and pay the $130. I didn't even drive three blocks before the noise became apparent again.. Their mechanics are fucking incompetent, and Mike is a straight up hustling scammer.. You can tell they paid for the other 4 reviews read more

Again UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT" this place is at full scam they try to charge me $80.00 for remove nail and the gay said is at new way to refurbished my tire but I ask about the warranty and he say is not warranty so at this point he make me see the way to scam clients also went I started walk away at latin guy come up and started to said disgusting comments in Spanish I look at him and he walk away DON'T GIVE CHANGE TO THE SCAMERS GET MONEY FROM YOU BE CAREFUL read more

Had a appointment setup for 2pm. Got there and a middle eastern dude tells me he's busy so it will be delayed. I asked how long and he doesn't know. I ask for the reason why and he pretty much says the current job he was doing pays more than mine. Unprofessional and bad service, never come here unless you want to be blown off. read more

The service was great. The owner helped me see the problem my door lock had and gave me a great price.

Great to see this shop back up, owner has been part of the local community for years. Mike the service manager is very good. Straightforward, efficient and not going to BS you. They did a great job on my brakes with good pricing. read more

I took my car because I thought I needed brakes. (I am clueless when it comes to cars) He told me my brakes were in excellent condition and they even cleaned them and test drove the car to make sure my car wasn't shaking. They didn't charge me anything for it. They were honest when they totally could have lied and charged me for new brakes. I will be taking all our cars here and referring anyone we know to them! If your looking for an honest auto mechanic that is cheaper than the one across the street from them.. then this is the place for you! read more

I got a new sound system for my 22nd birthday here, woo! He was super helpful and friendly, and he cut me a great deal. The installation seems perfect so far, nothing to complain about. The system is mindblowingly awesome :) Only one minor complaint: a bunch of little parts were left in my car following installation, which I found to be slightly annoying. Overall, I give 5/5 for the great deal for the quick installation of an excellent product, in addition to the great customer service. read more

Kal is a very nice guy that knows what he is doing. He has a great line of products and if he doesn't have what you need he will order it for you. read more

Outstanding costumer service! I had to get my stereo receiver fixed, and they fixed it within 10-15 minutes! They are very professional, and know what they are doing. read more

So I installed a pioneer CarPlay in my 2005 BMW X3 with back up camera, 4 new speakers, a new amp, and a subwoofer. The sound is amazing and the modification they made to fit the stereo looks so professional. Thank you car stereo masters for an immaculate job...I enjoy driving my work car now that the sound is superb and I get to stream my music!!!! Way to go guys... read more

This place is horrible and shady! I don't understand how there are no other bad reviews. I got a good deal on a head unit and new speakers, ill give them that, but the guy who installed the speakers totally effed up my drivers side window control panel!! It's totally displaced and the screw to install it back into place is broken. The guy installing my speakers kept telling me about how he was waiting for his weed dealer to drop off some weed at the shop. Wow!!!! Any car stereo stuff you need, go to xtreme tint a couple miles west on Whittier blvd. read more
