This facility is amazing. The customer service is top-notch. They took the time to explain the differences between the alarm systems and sound systems, broke down the best value options, and even reviewed financing offers. After the alarm was installed, they walked me through downloading the app, how to use it, and all the different features available. I truly appreciate the quality service I received. I also love that the tint shop, Total Tint, is conveniently located right next door, making it easy to get multiple services done at once while leaving your vehicle in good hands. Everything was completed in a timely manner -- my car was not just sitting around. The team stayed on top of everything from start to finish. Most importantly that the cost is very efficient read more

Rob is your guy Rob was super helpful when I needed to finance my car starter and CarPlay. He made the whole process easy and stress-free, explained everything in a way that made sense, and really looked out for me. I'm so happy with how everything turned out. If you need help with financing or upgrades, definitely hit up Rob--he'll take care of you! read more

I had a compustar remote starter put in my Subaru last week to replace one I had from another store that didn't work. Kyle and Shawn are the best. So nice and work so hard to make sure all is correct. If you need a remote starter, radio etc this place is the best. Debbie Clark Bloomfield CT read more

These guys installed a new stereo system 5years ago in a work van that I have. I can't say enough about how great these guys are and how great my system STILL sounds! I recently purchased a used car that has a stereo already, but nothing on it was working properly. I couldn't be happier with my experience with the guys at Extreme Audio & performance in Manchester!! Top notch service!! read more

Wonderful staff, great service. They have a wonderful selection and the staff is very knowledgeable.

Very personable staff. Quick fix. Definitely recommend this place. I was amazed how good the service was

Extreme is the right name for this business. Most of my speakers are not working. I went in and told the guy who came in from the back about what was going on. Instead of suggesting I bring it in for a diagnostic, he went about telling me what I needed. A new unit, speakers blah , blah blah. It all came to over $1000. I told him that was too high. He suggested a new audio unit that was on sale. Brought it down to $800 or so. Still over my budget! He didn't seem all that interested from the get go. So I went to another audio place. They took it in to look it over $35 deposit and what they found out was all it needed was a fuse. So for less than $100 my speakers are working fine now. My advice you are better off going someplace else than this Extreme clip joint read more

Very very happy with the service we received here. Brought our camper van in for a new radio and back up camera installation. Rob was very welcoming and informative. Got a fair price. Bringing the van back to him for some customization. read more

WARNING to all possible customers! I took my diesel truck for a remote start installation. They never asked me important details such, turbo timer installation, running time after truck is started, glow plug waiting time. When I asked about some of this, they said " no worries, they know what they're doing". And now I have spent $650 dollars on something that's doesn't work for my purposes and I can't even use. read more

Extreme audio is the only place I will go for anything audio or electrical. They have great prices for the work they do. If they charge me more, I'd still pay it because I know it's going to be done right. They don't mess around and get you right in if you want something done. I can't describe how clean and perfect their work is. I've been go on to them for 10+ years and my family has been going to see them since I think they've been open. I will not ever go any where else. Family owed and family ran. Support small business, and get you s*** done right! read more

All the guys here are very professional and very helpful... they took very good care of me in my car let me see the shop showed me around I would highly recommend going there for any car audio stuff or remote starters for your vehicle they're willing to stay late and finish the job even though they close at 6pm...and they have everything you can think of in stock couldn't find the dash kit for my car called them they had it ask the guy if he can do it and he did it that day for me like I said in the beginning these guys are very good at what they do and very professional I would highly recommend them to anybody...thank u extreme audio read more

I had a remote starter installed and tinted the glass on my car. They expained my options and treated me fairly. I was impressed with their workmanship. Will return with my next project. read more

I have been to Extreme Audio several times. Even prior to their new established location I have been going to them! I have brought three of my vehicles to them for installation of floor lights and also replacing head lights. Each time I have went the owner Rob is always extremely busy and doesn't provide you with adequate customer service! My recent problem I have had with this company is the lack of appreciation for their customers! I was running a few minuets late to my appointment and I called to inform them I will be running a little late. The owner then proceeds to say your too late for your appointment I will have to book you the following week! I said to him that's understandable however, is there any way you can look at the problem sooner due to the lights already installed and it would not maximize his time. Rudely, he speaks to me very condescending! I thought it was very unprofessional with the service I have received! It takes away from a the previous work they have completed for me! As a returning customer and a dedicated customer I should have not received that type of service! I will highly recommend you going another place for services! read more

Very friendley staff and helpful. Fast and professional. Rob and owner is always friendly. Head tech/ installer is always fast clean installs and friendly knowledgeable and friendley. Highly recommend. read more

I purchased an remote starter for my Ram 2500. The staff were extremely knowledgeable and informative. They took the time to answer all my questions. The technicians were efficient and polite. I definitely recommend this local shop for all your car electronic needs! Thank you again for everything from our family. read more

This company sucks. I was getting my car tints worked on at total tints (they're awesome!) and my radio fell in a few days ago so I figured why not ask the place next door Extreme Audio to reseat it for me for cheap. Should be a nice easy job. When I walked in the bald dude immediately tried to say without even looking that I'd need a new dash kit and it'd be ATLEAST an hour in labor, $200 bucks. I told him the dash kit isn't broken and that it just needs to get reseated and asked if someone could just look at it first before they try to give me a quote. He stayed quiet and another guy said I'll take a look at it. I was in the waiting room and that guy went in and out 4-5 times and didn't even talk to me. The bald dude walked by a few times too. After over 20 minutes the bald guy walks by, stops at the door pokes his weasel head in and says it'll be $150 for us to fix it. I say so is it broken? He answers with we can make it work. I refuse because that's bs and wait for my tints to get finished. He did walk in and out of the shop a few times after that. When my car was finally finished by Total Tints, I noticed that all around my dash piece, it was destroyed to all hell. They used the wrong tools and tried to take it out where the climate control is for some reason.. pretty stupid considering that's where the most resistance would be. I am very upset with this place. Very surprised they did that. And since you could reach your hand in where the radio is, they could've easily just put a hand in there, grab onto the dash piece and pull it out.. I just did it as I'm writing this review. Nice and easy it came right out. Total Tints and Extreme Audio are two difference companies they just share the same break room and building. Do not deal with Extreme ever! I will definitely go to Total in the future for my other cars though. Cory is extremely professional and really does everything correct. I recommend Act Audio in South Windsor or Action Glasswork in Hartford. Action will pick up your car wherever it is and work on it and bring it back if you can't leave work. And they do it fast. Remote starters, radio installs, the whole 9. I hope I never see the weasel again. If I notice any extra damage I am filing a lawsuit. And Weasel just so this is here, you and any of the Extreme Audio techs are never allowed to be in my car without me there watching. If you want to make this right and compensate me for the damages, Cory can provide my number to you. It would need to be done at a shop that isn't there. You do this, I'll change my review a leave a tiny comment. read more

See all

Can't say enough good things about Rob and his team! Brought them my brand new 2022 F350 and they knocked it out of the park. Rob spent nearly an hour with me when I first walked in, informing me of all of my options and real world recommendations. He didn't just try to sell me the most expensive stuff. He helped me design the perfect system for my truck and actually talked me OUT of spending more money. Now my truck sounds amazing and everything looks and feels factory. Couldn't be happier with my experience and will use Extreme Audio every time in the future. Would recommend to anyone! read more

Rob and his crew were great from the start. I was looking for an aftermarket alarm kit that would tie into my 2021 Silverado OEM alarm. I only wanted to have one key fob. After talking to several shops that said it couldn't be done, I called Extreme Audio. Impressed with the fact they could add on to the factory alarm, I made an appointment and had the system installed. Rob took the time to explain how a Compustar alarm is installed and why I needed a remote start module. They did a nice job installing and it works exactly as I was told. read more

Stopped in to have my key fobs synced up. What took me days to try and understand took Rob, the owner, no time at all. Within minutes I was on my way. Service was quick, courteous and friendly. I'll be back again. read more

I have used extreme Audio for an upgraded radio in one of my cars and a remote start in the other one. They recently checked my radio for updates and gave me good info about my remote start all at no charge. I highly recommend Rob and his team. I will continue to use them for my stereo and other related needs. Ed F. read more

My fiancé bought me an automatic car starter for Christmas. Brought it in for installation this past week and they were done in a few hours. The owner gave me a nice tutorial on how it works, and the product works flawlessly. They even vacuumed the front floor of my truck. Awesome company and very easy to deal with. read more

I brought in my 2015 Toyota RAV4 Limited into the store to have the radio upgraded. I really didn't know much about car audio so I had to rely on the car audio experts. Rob (the Owner) went over some radios with me and options. I told him everything I had in my car now and what I wanted in my new radio. I had XM Radio in my RAV that I wanted. So the radio that I chose was XM Radio ready. So I bought in my car on Monday to install. When I got the car the installer went over everything in the car, the radio did not have my XM Radio installed. The installer mentioned that it was not on the installation invoice. He mentioned that I needed a XM Radio box or something like that for the satellite radio to work. It was an additional cost. I said I didn't know it needed that. The installer took the car back into adjust the angle of the radio screen. In the meantime I went into the store front to ask why it was not included. Rob said it was an additional cost. Which I would have paid for, no problem. I HAD NO IDEA THE RADIO NEEDED IT. But then he went on about that I should have looked at the receipt to see it was on there and if was included in the price. SO, now I have to check the work to make sure they are doing their job to include things that I have no idea that I needed in the first place. I got heated because he made me sound that I was at fault for not looking at his work. I got mad and I left. Rob the Owner proceeded outside to continue to argue with me and yell at me about what he said. HE YELLED AT ME OUTSIDE HIS BUSINESS ABOUT SOMETHING THAT WAS HIS FAULT!!!! SINCE WHEN, IS IT OKAY TO YELL AT CUSTOMERS FOR THE BUSINESS'S FAULT. He admitted it. He wanted to do the install of the additional equipment for free, BUT I DO NOT WANT ANYTHING FOR FREE. I am a paying customer and I pay for my items. He asked me for my review, well here it is. HORRIBLE HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. I truly wish there was a negative star to give because he deserves it. I am one (1) customer out of hundreds and I know that my comments won't change his business and how he runs it. But he doesn't and shouldn't talk to people like he did to me today. I am a paying customer and I paid for a product that I did not get that 100% correct or to my satisfaction. read more

I don't believe that way they install audio system and they are really expensive I pay 24$ bucks for 6 feet of cable I wish but I don't recommend thanks read more

Josh helped me out! N the gentleman with super rough hands haha. They went above and beyond with installing two 12s in my trunk. Stayed late to get the job done and my car stereo sounds fantastic. You can hear me before you see me in this car. Fabulous service, professional people and quality products. read more

The installers do great work. The problem is it's run by someone who lacks integrity and won't admit he is wrong if something goes awry with the work being done to your vehicle even if you confirm from outside sources or businesses. He will gaslight you and make you think it is somehow your fault which btw is a symptom of narcissistic personality disorder, he also has his salesmen wrapped around his finger to do his bidding. though he is a man of character. I was charged 5 hours labor for diagnosis (500$) for something that was overlooked that should of been squared away the day before (1700$) because the owner didn't want to own up that he couldn't figure out why the speakers were humming and didn't sound right. Turns out it's because of the active noise canceling in newer vehicles. I'd recommend you look elsewhere if you have a newer vehicle. read more

My car needed to have the remote starter serviced due to the navigation system updated. The update interfered with the remote starter system not allowing the car to start. The fix was completed in short time and worked as advertised. The personnel were very courteous and professional. read more

Had Rob install my subwoofer and amplifier around 3 years ago, since then I installed mids and highs. Came back to rob a few days ago to have him re-tune everything. Sounds even better then before. Great customer service very friendly guys in the shop. They take the time to explain and show you what they are doing to ur system. Would highly recommend these guys. Best in the business. read more

I brought my vehicle here to have a car starter, drone and audio system installed. Shortly after the installation my battery kept draining power. I constantly Had to jump the battery and ultimately ended up changing the batter to no avail. I spend thousands of dollars for this install and even brought another vehicle here for other services. After taking the car to another dealer to investigate the issue, they found that the issue was that the car starter was wired wrong and the dealer wouldn't be able to fix it since they didn't install it. I brought the car back to Extreme Audio thereafter because I didn't find my receipt they acted like i never brought the car there. Take Extreme caution when dealing with these guys. read more

I went to extreme audio because i had music put in by another store but i didnt like the sound and came to find out i paid alot of money for music equipment that was very cheap and over priced. So Rob help me out in a hugh way pointed me towards better equipment. read more

I went in yesterday to get a price quote for a new stereo to replace the 16-year-old one that came with my car. Mainly I wanted a way to play music on my phone that didn't involve the a staticky FM transmitter (the setup I'd been using since I bought the car). Not only did I receive excellent and prompt customer service, but within 5 minutes I was given an exact price quote and timeframe for installation. I walked in expecting to leave with a quote, but instead I left about an hour later with a newly installed system, and they even sat down and showed me how to use it and made sure I was able to connect with my phone before I left. The price and time frame were exactly what they quoted, and the installation was clean and professional. I'm glad this place is still here in Manchester. read more

Had a sub installed in the trunk by these guys. Nothing special. I had the unit plus wiring but wasn't sure how to wire things since I can't fold or bypass the rear seats in my car. They did the job, it took several hours - longer than I was told. When I got the car back I was NOT impressed by the choice to pretty much leave all the wires hanging and open in the trunk. At least Best Buy attempt to conceal. I know that from a sat radio install they did. I asked them to conceal the wires only to be told it would be an extra cost and they'd have to do it another day. NOT recommended. read more

These guys are the reason you go with locally owned and operated and not a big box store. Great customer service, truly interested in my wants and needs (and budget) and great sense of humor to boot. Took one hour to install a new radio with satellite in my car; and another 20 minutes to teach me how to use it in the parking lot (my fault for not being technologically proficient, but awesome that they are so patient!). I've already started plotting out how I can upgrade my husband's factory radio for him for Christmas and this is just the place I will get it done. I would absolutely recommend them over and over again, and plan to use them again soon! Thanks guys! read more

Would give it a 0 if I could. Will scam you out your money. Tell you one price and then call you later or tel you when you get there that it's way more than they told you. Or that they needed some extra part and so now it's 100$ more than originally stated. No prices listed on site or in store- no labor per hour, items, services nothing!! will scam you. Try to be friendly so you don't see it coming. read more

My name is Angie and I will recommon this place to any one who needs any remote started put in there vehicle.

Rob Thank you read more

I was directed by our awesome mechanic, Jim to only go to Rob at Extreme for anything audio as well as self-starter products. Once you go through the doors you are transformed-the shop is aesthetically super sharp and the sounds from the audio equipment-so rich and clear-just beautiful. I went for a car starter, LOVE IT! and am going back for a sound system. Super personable service too, I appreciated the late night drop off and late shop hours which made my life easier not to rush once i left work. I LOVE EXTREME AUDIO, Pamela read more

These guys do excellent work. I brought my brand new Tesla in for a dash camera installation. I didn't want to take it to a place like Best Buy because, well it's a Tesla, not a Honda. This car deserves the best and these guys are the best. Thanks! read more
