Chula Vista Car Audio - Audio control 12 inch subwoofer with alpine amplifier - Car Stereo Installation Near Me - Chula Vista, California

Very knowledgeable and friendly. They really know their stuff and do quality work at a fair price. I highly recommend this place!

I ran across this shop because they were open on time unlike Car Audio One, and since they were nearby, they earned my business. They had what I was looking for and matched price I saw in ad. Service was fast, friendly, and efficient. I will definitely go back and recommend them. read more

Took in my Toyota 4Runner Limited V8, which I am super protective of, to get a new stereo system install along with a back up camera. These guys took care of it all within a couple of hours. Mike charged me an arm and a leg, close to $1K which is a little pricey but I got the Sony system that I wanted along with a 4K resolution back up camera. The guy that installed my back up camera tried to skip the install and just zip tie the camera to the bottom of my bumper, then I told Mike and he told him to install it the correct way and don't ever do that. But that guy was just trying to skip some work... They did a really good job replacing my stereo system, it came out super clean without any open spaces or issues. But they did fail to connect my stereo system to my controls on my steering wheel so I had to return for another part and to get this taken care of, also my subwoofer in the rear was blown so I had them replace it the same day. Now my car sounds amazing and my dashboard looks better than it has in 20years. Definitely still looking around for cheaper location but if you need to find a reliable place that could service a 4Runner without any issues, then stop by here. The guy that does electrical work owns a 4Runner and knows how to take one apart carefully in under 5 mins to get to the stereo system. read more

What can I say about Chula Vista Car Audio, they are there to help you. I have had many different vehicles worked on here throughout the years. I can honestly say I have had over 10 vehicles done here. No job is to small or to big for this establisment. I have never ever had any issues with the personal or the professional installation group that works on the vehicles. Out of all the vehicles, there have been minor things gone wrong or I wanted to keep upgrading, and never had I have them not take care of me. What you get with this installment is HONESTY, VALUE, and GREAT SERVICE. Come give them an opportunity. Things and times are not like before. Upgrading into newer vehicles was a thing of the past. It seems like we are realizing that the older vehicles are more dependable and they just need certain upgrades to start loving are vehicles again like when we first got them. I have many vehicles that over 10 years old, and just by getting small upgrades, has me feeling better and safer on the road. Meaning they have many large monitor radios, that when you use the GPS makes it feel like you are driving a TESLA, hahaha. Hope you come down and ask either for Mike or Omar. They are two of the coolest people to help you out on your vehicles upgrades on this side of town. (West Chula Vista) read more

This place was recommended by a coworker. I called and was told they can work on my truck. I try installing a stereo on to my truck myself but couldn't get it to work because my truck came with factory Bose system and a pro can get that to work. I also was getting a backup cam installed by them. I get the called, my front speakers aren't working and i was recommended to replaced them, but they were working. I asked to please check the connection but was turned down and offered some of their speakers. After everything was ready i picked up and later found out my tv/dvd player in the ceiling had no sound too. I brought it to their attention and was told that i needed to buy a device to connect to it and get frequency from the stereo, which I'm cool with that but should have given me a heads up about everything before working on it. His respond was that I came in for the stereo install and sound from stereo nothing else. Doesn't it all fall into the same thing? No sound you fix all sound, right? If I knew all this was going to happened I would've gone to my place south of the border where I got the front speaker to work because the connection was corroded( NO NEW SPEAKERS REPLACEMENT NEEDED) and finish what they couldn't. I thank them very much for what they did but also should've listen to what i had to say and done a little more to keep me somewhat happy with the work. I definitely not using this place for any stereo needs or alarm or anything. read more

Fantastic service! Great workmanship! The Apple Play/Back up camera that was installed into our 2009 Honda Civic is better than we expected. It looks like part of the car. Great installation! Mike was a great associate to deal with and he got the job done so much faster than we thought. We couldn't be happier with the product and service we received. Thank you for breathing new life into our old car. read more

They did a great job really friendly staff they made it quick and easy. I highly recommend this place to all my friends and family. Thank you CVCA!!!! read more

This is not going to be a scathing, trash-talking, ugly review. Reason being, the reader and Chula Vista Car Audio would probably minimize the true real concerns of: 1) Deceit/Dishonesty 2) False information Chula Vista Car Audio provided to the financial companies (Amica and Snap) they are utilizing. 3) Predatory and juvenile tactics used by Chula Vista Car Audio 4) Customer credit card abuse and misuse 5) Products listed with no prices. Installation charges with no prices. No itemized list or formal invoice 6) Reporting to proper authorities. No willingful and paying customer deserves this experience. 7) Customer denial of rights of purchased goods and warranties 8) Customer's mental health dealing with this horrible and ongoing experience. I am writing to make a formal complaint against a Chula Vista Car Audio employee, 'Johnny' (who normally wears a baseball cap), about the inadequate, unsatisfactory and possibly fraudulent service I received from the aforementioned establishment. He comes off as good-natured and over-friendly which is just a possible cover for his ulterior motives- deceit and a predator. Several months ago I entered Chula Vista Car Audio with good faith to buy a full quality sound system. After realizing that my product list was extensive and going into the thousands (was originally being helped out with another employee) out comes "Johnny" from behind the counter. So, the song and dance started. Charismatic as he thinks himself perceives he had suggested financing through Amica. As he was crunching the numbers for pre-approval he had entered my monthly income as $9,500.00! I did not provide that information but he continued crunching the numbers. I found out later, 'he cooked the books' to make the allowable amount financed higher than what was suitable for me. Therefore he can add whatever he chooses as product installation costs. I have yet to this day have any product cost and installation charges on paper. SNAP was also introduced to help finance another 3K . After he crunched the numbers he wanted my credit card info to 'start the finance' of the remaining 3K. I found later that same afternoon I was fully charged 3K on my credit card! I am contracted to work at several schools in the Chula Vista Area. One day, while visiting a particular school, I saw that my car, that was supposed to be in the Chula Vista Car Audio Shop (week 2), parked in the school parking lot (photos enclosed). I was shocked and had asked a school employee as to who drove up in this vehicle. Johnny was the person identified (I do have a witness) who worked as a parking director for the school in the morning. I approached a surprised Johnny. He said he was just 'testing the car out' and it would be ready for pickup that day. The next day I picked up my car as he left paperwork and original parts in the car. What was missing: Final invoice and itemized list of products and service charges and costs, manuals of Car Stereo/Alarm System and warranty info for all products paid for! I had called Johnny the next day and he just sent me the handwritten estimate of products minus cost of each product and services. It appears that Johnny was "cooking the books" and writing out any amount he sees fit. This is all I got! (photos included). I have no warranties for the products I had paid for! Then something popped out of my rear-bumper days later! (photo included). Poor workmanship and if it was damaged I had no warranty to back up the cost. I wonder if this is standard practice at Chula Vista Car Audio but Johnny is a representative of Chula Vista Car Audio. I am a businessman myself and his practices of taking advantage of a good and willing paying customer are hurtful, deceitful and a slap in the face of true well-meaning businessmen and women everywhere. I find what happened to be unacceptable at all scales and request Johnny be true to his customers. 'Johnny" has repeatedly and completely ignored all my requests. Chula Vista Car Audio got fully paid for services and products as immediate satisfaction and the balance is fully in the hands of Amica and Snap. I have exhausted all my efforts to contact Johnny and Chula Vista Car Audio Ignoring my phone calls and texts does not make this go away. It only strengthens the fact Now it is beyond a reasonable solution. I have filed with the Small Claims Court Division of San Diego. Papers will be delivered to Chula Vista Car Audio by independent courier. I had also filed a complaint with the Department of Consumer Affairs as the Better Business Bureau suggested because Chula Vista Car Audio had received an 'F' rating while trying to apply for accreditation with the BBB. Why? Because of two similar finance and credit card abuse complaints filed against Chula Vista Car Audio which also, which is no surprise, went unanswered and unresolved. True and unfabricated. Buyer beware but buyers do have rights and a right to be treated as decent people. read more

Very pleasurable experience. I called Mike and he gave me a great price over the phone. I showed up the next day and right away went to work and installed my car alarm. Super clean work and great employees. Took care of all my needs! You can tell they are a stand up shop. They have everything for your car stereo, Audio and Alarm needs. Look nowhere else. This is the shop to go to. I wish I can give 10 stars but yelp only allows five. Was in and out of there in a couple hours and super satisfied. Thank you to Mike and the crew at Chula Vista Car Audio! read more

Reliable, professional and fast service. Mike is honest and very friendly. They did a very nice job on my window tinting!

They need better stereo installer the people they have they don't care about installing the stereo the right way

I wanna start out by saying I had a very easy going time with my experience at CV car audio. Mazin and Omar were both very knowledgeable, honest, and not pushy. They gave me options and told me the benefits of each option. Customer service was amazing, Mazin welcomed me and made my decisions very simple and easy. I will definitely go back to Chula Vista car audio for any car audio services. The prices are definitely fair, and the service went above and beyond. I would recommend this place to family and friends. I look forward to future business with CV car audio. read more

I'm going to be totally embarrassed if I'm getting his name wrong but I believe it was Mike whom helped me. He was terrific!! I walked inside store and he was on the phone with a customer. Very helpful to the gentleman he was on the phone with, so I was already impressed with his demeaner. As soon as he hung up Mike approached me and helped me pick the new car radio I wanted for my 2010 Camry. He gave me awesome suggestions and didn't try to upsell me on the fancier stuff. We set an appointment for the instillation and I'm so excited about my new radio. I would recommend Chula Vista Car Audio to anyone interested in replacing the car radio's!! Very friendly and thank you so much!! Nancy read more

I bought a car a couple months ago and really wanted to get a kill switch/ alarm for it. Called around multiple places, even went to a couple. These guys were the most friendly professional and least expensive on over the phone. They were also the only business that kept the price quoted over the phone and helped us as soon as we walked in. Every where else either ignored us for about 10 min, one place we were never even acknowledged so we just left. They didnt try to upset me on anything, installed exactly what I asked for and I even ended buying some speakers cuz I was so happy with their customer service. I will definitely go back to them for any of my future needs and recommend to anyone that would ask me for a reference. read more

Highly recommend Chula Vista car audio. Came in looking for a alarm system with certain features after speaking to Mike, he was able to recommend me I needed. Mike is very knowledgeable, great customer service and was very communicative through out the process. Would highly recommend for Audio and Security. read more

I had a great experience there. I was looking to change my stereo system and the shop offered me a kenwood stereo with android auto & apple car play for 680 (including installation).

Called about getting the aftermarket stereo replaced since it wasnt working right and was going to put the factory one back into my wife's Ford Edge but they told me bring it in and let them try and troubleshoot it first so drove down there and after trying everything nothing. Ended up talking to Mike and he showed what he had on hand and kits that would would work with the Edge and after quoting me a real good price for everything I decided on a new Alpine. Mike for real is cool to deal with he got the new kit ordered for me and i dropped it off a few days later and they knocked it out quick. Real happy how it turned out the aftermarket kit he recommended looks super clean and the sound is night and day with the new Alpine and the wife is happy. When I upgrade the stereo in my truck this is where I'm going. Highly recommend these guys thanks again Mike - Ed read more

Chula Vista Car Audio - My Car Alarm. - Car Stereo Installation Near Me - Chula Vista, California

I was referred to this shop from an friend of mine and it took over 4 hours of waiting to install 4 speakers. No custom box or anything fancy...just replace the oem speakers for my civic with slightly better ones. I even called the business asking if they could work on my car right away...said I would be there by a certain time and I was (within 15 min). Then they take forever to put the speakers in. The waiting area was comfortable at least. read more

!!!'DO NOT GO HERE!!!!!There tell you anything to get you to put money down for speakers amp installation etc etc then the a day of install they will tell you that they don't have the products you want and try and give you what they have to get rid of store inventory I've seen it done twice already. Avoid them at all cost!! read more

Great customer service. Work was done right and efficiently. Mike was a big help! Thank you to your entire team! I'll definitely come back, and refer friends. read more

First I have got to say that CHULA VISTA CAR AUDIO & SECURITY is my new one stop shop to get my car worked on!!! I went to a car audio shop and got a quote for an Alarm and the dude gave me some BS price!!! So I ended up still needing an alarm for my car as I was cruising down Broadway and saw CAR AUDIO sign plastered on a wall of a building!!! Decided to stop!!! I think it was the best decision I made that day!!! Cuz I ran in to Omar and dude was straight up and to the point!!! Not to mention that I am disabled and Omar politely came outside on my lady's request!!! Like i was saying Omar gave me a straight up price that i couldn't argue with!!! Paid the man and came in the next day lil late but Omar's dad!!! I'm going to call Sr. cuz dad and son's name are Omar!!! Then Gets my key and they started the install!!! It took a lil but alarm was installed with a little custom work from the installer JUANITO!!! Dude is SICKWITIT when it comes to installing!!! And that's coming from a dude that use to work in car audio!!! But in the middle of the install!!! I was looking around the shop and then I was asking Omar questions about subs not thinking I was going to get one but ended up rapping up a sweet deal for a sub and amp package with install!!! But the install was mediocre and installer was Maybe a little nervous!!! Might have been his first today!!! Cuz tools were way to new and install reflected!!! But Sr. looked at the install and came up with a solution to fix the install!!! I ended up leaving a happy man after Alarm and system was done!!! Was well worth the wait!!! Not to mention the sub and amp set up is like a match made in heaven!!! Cuz bumping this thing!!! I get way to many compliments on how it sounds!!! Omar and his dad really knows their stuff!!! And the mad props to the installers Juanito and Leon!!! Can't say enough on how Omar and his dad are very hospitable and they definitely know what they are talking about!!! NOW I CAN SEE THE DANCING HANDICAP GUY HANGING OFF OF MY REAR VEIW MIRROR!!! read more

I am a Jeep owner and asked Alex and his team to install an ARB refrigerator and a CB radio. The install man was Juanito. When they called me to get my Jeep back I was beyond impressed!!! Super clean install and meticulous attention to detail. All cables were neatly tucked away. All drill holes were neat and the equipment is securely in place. The wiring hookups to my auxiliary battery are all solid and tight. I could not have asked for a better or more professional job at a very decent price. Both Alex and Juanito have great customer service skills. They listened to how I wanted each install to go and performed each exactly as I had specified. I wholeheartedly recommend this fine business to anyone. read more

Omar took care of me QUICK! when I needed window tints. Fast, efficient, and very friendly! And at a great deal! Would definetly come back to make business here again read more

Mike was an awesome guy, gave me good prices on everything. Where my review is the install. First off the install was set and screwed on the backseat with 1 screw on each amp. 1 fell after just 2 weeks. I normally do my own installs and like the tweak with my own amps and i know what a decent install should look like and this time i decided to take it to a shop. Well first off i took a pair of component speakers, and coaxials and they poked a big hole in my front speaker, went back to see why it was messed up and boom there was a hole like if they punctured it while trying to put the door on. then they tried selling me a new component set and claimed is wasnt there fault and tried selling me new ones full price. Then recently i re-did my entire system because i didnt like the way it sounded or was installed so i took everything apart and wires were everywhere, nothing properly secured and some wires even cut im assuming while they were running them. NOT TO MENTION my rear speakers were beat up. Now would i shop here again? most likely not. Would i pay for them to install? NO! Sorry like i said Mike was cool and helpful throughout but the install was just not good at all. read more

ALERT: SELLING STOLEN STEREOS!! Omar (manager/owner?) sold me a Kenwood navigation unit and when I went into the menus, all the radio presets were filled and there was someone else's iPhone already connected to the Bluetooth. I went into the store and asked to see his invoice from his distributor and he refused to show it to me. I asked to see the box it came in (installed 2 days ago) and he says he doesn't have it. This is a shady operation and I would steer clear of it. read more

Needed a stereo for my F-150 as the factory unit ceased to function after 10 years. Walked in this morning, originally just to get some pricing and I met Mike. I have installed several care stereos for myself and others in the past, but the disassembly required for this made me want pros to do it. Not only did he and his team do a great job (less than 90 minutes - in and out), but they also cleaned up a bit of my handiwork, which dressed up the interior nicely. Very pleased with all aspects of this installation. Mike was outstanding. Didn't try to over sell me and as soon as I mentioned my intended budget, he picked the best unit for that price range. Following the installation, he spent about 15 minutes with me teaching me all the features and showing me what to expect from this unit. I got the BOSS BE7ACP and this stereo is a game changer for me. It has Apple Car Play and accepted the XM radio input as well. Couldn't be happier! Will recommend to anyone I know that is looking for a fair and honest professional install. Thank you Mike and Team Chula Vista Car Audio! read more

This is my third car I bring here for tint and every time has been a delight! My last car they hooked me up with an amp because my last one had blown out, keep in mind that I didn't get my system in my car put in at this establishment and to earn my business Omar offered to do me a favor and just swapped it out for me FREE of charge and since then I've been sending all my customers to this place for tint. I work on the mile of cars and I can have someone here tint my windows but I prefer the quality of the work here versus the dealerships and there's a lifetime warranty on all tint! Great customer service and great work!! Thank You Chula Vista Car Audio and thank you Omar! My car looks great and my wife loves it read more

My son brought his 2006 Mustang GT to this place to have his factory stereo upgraded. The guys helped him pick one out that he could afford and installed it. They also tinted his windows. It turned out great, so I took my 1969 Mustang Mach I in to have my old stereo upgraded to a modern unit. The guys helped me pick something out in my budget and then installed it in less than one hour. Great work at a good price. read more

This is a dope spot and with cheap prices. I came in asking for a full car surround sound system, they charged me $250 less than what I was thinking I was going to spend. They hooked me up with a great system. Not to mention, one of my fuses was burned out. I came to ask about it, assuming I was going to have to pay for it. The owner himself came out to inspect my car, and replaced it at no price. I definitely recommend this place. read more
