He estimated it would take around 3-4 hrs to install like oem but it only took around an hr! I was impressed by the quick install and it was clean! I was going to do it myself but they did it in half the time and made it look the way I wanted. The price was also reasonable. I will be back for my future car audio/security needs!

I was really excited to get a new Kenwood interface installed in my car, but unfortunately, my…read moreexperience here was pretty disappointing. I was quoted $140 for the installation, but when I arrived, I was told there would be an additional $50 charge for parts. I wish this had been communicated upfront to avoid any surprises. They told me my car would be ready by 1:30 PM, but when I hadn't heard anything by 3:30 PM, I called to check in. They said they'd been trying to reach me, but I confirmed that my number was written correctly on the paperwork--it just hadn't been read properly. When I picked up my car, I noticed a few issues: * The satellite antenna was placed on top of my dash with visible wires, which didn't look very clean or professional. * A hole had been drilled near the dash for a charging wire that I didn't request, even though my car already has multiple outlets. * The biggest issue was that several features like my rear camera and steering wheel controls weren't hooked up, despite my car having the capability for them. When I called to ask about the missing features, I was told I'd need to purchase additional parts. I understand that some systems require extra components, but I would've appreciated more clear communication before the install, so I could make an informed decision. In the end, I decided to dispute the charge and will be taking my car to another installer to have the job completed properly. I'm glad the Bluetooth works, which was my main reason for upgrading, but I was hoping for a more professional and transparent experience overall.

He hooked up the radio to work with the factory rear camera, the steering wheel controls, and of course our son's cellphone worked both wirelessly and plugged in so it could charge via the Apple Carplay. Next time we need any work done on any of our vehicle, this is where we're going. Thanks Chris!!!

My family member's factory radio control unit unexpectedly stopped working. Of course when she went…read moreto the dealership first, and they wanted to charge her an arm and a leg. After shopping around at a couple of other places, she decided to go with Car Stereo City. Emad is the man... he laid everything out. He presented several options, explaining the advantages and disadvantages of the brands, the features, and so forth. It came down to a choice between Pioneer and Kenwood. She ended up going with the Kenwood. Emad explained what they would do and gave her a nice deal. He provided an estimate of how long the work would take, and it was actually completed a little earlier than expected. They kept the car clean, no trash or debris anywhere in sight, and nothing on the floor mats. The installation was nice and clean (see photo). Emad took the time to show her how everything worked and answered any/all questions she had. The shop itself is very easy to find (on Claremont Mesa Boulevard near the 163 freeway) and the show room is super clean. They have a lot of products laid out and you can ask for a demo. Overall, we had an excellent experience here. Service was exceptional and this shop is super clean with a huge selection of products. Whatever you need for your vehicle, they can do... security, audio, cameras (dash and backup), navigation, tinting, and more. They have a nice website with photo galleries and other information... CarStereoCitySanDiego.com. This will be our family's go to place for car audio and other services. I plan to return in the near future to upgrade speakers and take care of other things.

I have been bringing my vehicles here for 20 years, and they consistently deliver high-quality modifications with a focus on both cabin comfort and safety. Skip and Nolan are fantastic to work with--always polite, responsive, and incredibly knowledgeable. They've helped me with everything from custom 'always-on' (unswitched) USB ports for constant power to strategically placed, safety-minded mobile phone cradles. It's rare to find a shop that balances technical skill with such a high level of professionalism. Highly recommended for anyone who wants the job done right!

He also installed the chrome blackout around all windows, lower door trim, and he wrapped the front grille, lower front bumper chrome, and chrome trim around rear tail lights in gloss black vinyl. The price was really good for all of the work him and his team at Pimp Ur Ride put into this car. This took 2 years to complete, and I couldn't be happier.

Edgar handled the customization, and he clearly knows his stuff bc he was top-notch from start to finish. He answered all my questions & even texted photos of two different install kits. The backup camera is crystal clear and is a huge safety upgrade. Plus, the new Pioneer system completely modernizes the car with every CarPlay feature, including voice navigation, Spotify, and hands-free calls & texting via Siri. Finally, the install looks factory clean and blends in with the original dashboard. You'd never know the system wasn't stock. This system gives me peace of mind knowing my teen has a safer ride, and that she's enjoying her first car. Highly recommend Pimp Ur Ride for anyone looking to modernize an older car with today's tech! For 100% transparency, this is my honest review and I'm not paid or sponsored in any way. Edgar offered great service, solid pricing & premium products backed by a 1-year warranty. Plus, my teen driver is safer. Can't ask for more than that!
