My brother and I have been going to Guru Electronics for our Car audio & Electronics needs for over 20 years. My last car was rear ended & considered a total-loss. I replaced it with a used Subaru Impreza that didnt come with a reverse camera. My mom uses the car alot, so she's going to need the reverse camera :) I arrived 15 minutes before closing on Friday and since I didnt want to keep them after closing, basically told them what model car I just bought, and what I was looking for. Double din head unit w/ reverse camera, and some aftermarket replacement door speakers. They asked if I wanted to keep the steering wheel control functions, which I did... so he mentioned what else I needed in order to keep them functional with the new stereo. He asked if Android Auto / Apple play is important to me, and if i wanted it wired/wireless. This day in age, we want everything wireless and convenient, so I said yes to the wireless feature! I mentioned I was interested in component speakers for the front doors, and he suggested where to install the tweeters, and also told me I would need some mounting plates for the dashboard for the tweeters. This way I dont have to drill a hole in the door panel. All in all... Its nice to have someone ask the right questions to ensure I had everything I needed to complete the installation over the weekend, because I would not have had the tweeter mounts if he didnt ask about my installation. I would like to mention that I wanted to have everything I needed for the weekend installation project, so I didnt check around for lower prices, but when I got home... the "Asian habits" in me decided to check prices on Amazon, and Guru's prices were either on par... or slightly below Amazon's prices! Thank you Guru and your staff for hooking me up! Tip - Bring CASH!!! ;) read more

TLDR: Make sure to go inside and around the right for Guru (the owner) The actual labor and installation of the audio is 5 stars. Customer Service is 2 stars... it needs a lot of work. I didn't know what to expect coming here... I waited at the front of the garage for about 15 minutes. There was a guy smirking in the front, doing something with cables, 2 other people working on a car, and another guy going in and out doing some kinda repair work on a truck outside. None of them said hi to me. But I know they all saw me. It was very weird. Finally after about 10 minutes of waiting (I figured maybe the owner was on lunch, since this was about 1pm), I walked up to the smirking guy and asked if the owner was here. Then he just nodded and pointed to the right, which was a very small aisle BEHIND a big stack of boxes. It was very off-putting. But I was here, and I had a time crunch. The actual owner was nice... he asked about my car, and then showed me some models. I made a purchase, and he told me to come back in 2 hours. I walked to a nearby Carls Jr, about 7 mintues away. 2 hours later, right on the dot, I get a call to get my car, and they close sharp at 4:30p. The same guy who was walking in and out (remember fixing the truck), was the one who showed me how everything worked, helped me pair my phone. I paid about $950 after taxes. I don't know if that's a good deal, but everything works well, no scratches around the dash. If it weren't for the unwelcoming first impression, this would be a 5 star for me. I wanted to give them 3 stars, but this is clearly a small business owner. My hope is they read this and work on their welcoming attitude. read more

I first went to Guru Electronics Car Audio to upgrade the speakers and head unit for my 2014 Honda Civic EX in November 2025. I was very amazed with the work they did. Sunny was very patient and informative. I love the new Apple CarPlay features my car now has and the better audio output. I later went back again last month, in January 2026, to get a newer, better dashcam (Wolfbox G900 Pro) to upgrade my old one, and I couldn't be happier. Even though the unit I received was faulty out of the box, Sunny just replaced it with all new parts and the problem was fixed. I also had a weird issue where one of the speakers was making a rattling noise, but it turned out to be just a loose screw, which was a quick and easy fix. They even added some sound-deadening material at no cost to me, and it sounds even better than before. I highly recommend this business. They have top-notch customer service; they truly care and have passion for what they do. I will return at a later time to possibly get a subwoofer for my car and maybe other things! This place will not disappoint. read more

So i went there to get upgrade car audio spent a grand or so on pioneer double din and all new speakers, it was a bad install, i dont know what they did but my double din turns off and on plus the backup camera dont work anymore. Went back the second time still didnt fix the problem, i give it a thumbs down cause they wired it incorrectly or what... read more

Amazing two channel dashcam install. Works perfectly on my Subaru. No dangling wires. Completely hidden. Worth the price.

Best place to buy and never be forgotten! Fixed my Viper alarm lost communication at no charge! Thank you Guru! read more

Super happy with JBL 700 head-unit and the backup camera install in my 2012 civic. Everything works perfectly, the install looks factory-clean, and they were straightforward about what was/isn't worth doing. Solid workmanship and professional service. Highly recommend. read more

Had a Rockford Fosgate P300-10 installed to my 2023 Toyota Corolla SE, and the experience was excellent. The job was completed in about 1-2 hours, the system sounds amazing, and the workmanship was top-tier. Big thank-you to Sunny for the great service and accommodations. Highly recommend! read more

I brought in my vintage BMW. I knew at least 1 speaker was blown. They walked me through the various replacement scenarios for the locations as well as type and brand. There is zero pressure to buy. They enquired if I wanted to replace the head unit and were cool about me not wanting to change it (it's the original unit). expert tips ========= 1) you can make an appointment 2) if no appointment, get there when the shop opens. read more

Thank you to everyone here for helping us out with our CarPlay system for the car. We had problems with wiring where sunny recommended us the correct module. Everything works 1000%.

They helped us so much. read more

Everything went well. I felt really taken care of by this company. They did a great install on my car a few months back, I bought a wolf box digital mirror through them and they installed it. Their technician completely hid the wire from my rear view, all the way to another camera mounted on my license plate. These guys do great work, I think they have competitive pricing, and they did it better than what I could have done. read more

Sunny came to talk to me and walk through how they going install my dash cam. They told me two hours and they did finish in two hours which a plus. Overall they have excellent customer service. I will definitely come back. read more

Guru Electronics Car Audio - Car Stereo Installation Near Me - San Jose, California

This review for Guru Electronics isn't just about the couple of installations they've done for me, but also about how genuinely nice the owner and his son are! I first went to Guru Electronics a few years ago to have them install a dashcam in my 2013 BMW 535. The work was done very cleanly and professionally, and the dashcam is still working well today. Recently, I wanted to get an aftermarket CarPlay unit installed in my car, so I called about four places for estimates. Of the four places, Guru Electronics was the cheapest by far! Once the CarPlay installation was complete, Sunny went over the details of how to use the unit. I thought I understood what he explained, but a few days later I started running into issues: sometimes the phone wouldn't connect, or the phone would connect but I couldn't hear any audio, etc. I tried fiddling with the settings, but I think I made matters worse. (I also discovered there was a software update for the unit, but I couldn't install it because it required a Windows machine to format the USB drive.) So I ended up going back to them and showed Sunny the issues. He installed the update. Then got on the manufacturer's support line, sorted out a couple of finer points, explained what he had done, and had the unit working properly again. He was patient and pleasant the entire time. Guru is the owner's name. He's the older gentleman behind the desk who defers most of the "technical" questions to his son, Sunny. When I went to have the CarPlay installation done, I decided to wait there while the unit was being installed--they have a waiting room with TV and WiFi. While waiting, I started feeling a bit hungry, so I walked over to Mr. Guru and asked about places to eat within walking distance. He told me to wait, picked up a paper plate, and proceeded to give me shelled nuts and cookies. I was really touched by his gesture and started chatting with him. We talked about many things, including religion--usually not a safe topic! What I realized was how knowledgeable he was, not just about his own religion, but about mine as well. I found him to be a delightful, learned, and humble person. Highly recommended! read more

I am very happy with the outcome I feel safe and secure that the wiring is not bad Thank you Sunny, thank you Reyes For sure we will be back! Tremendo trabajo el q hicieron en Guru Electronics! Desde el momento en que los contacte Sunny me ayudo mucho y cuando llegue a mi cita Sunny recordó porque estaba allí, asignaron a Reyes para que me ayudara y manos a la obra El reviso las conexiones de la instalación previa en otro lugar, me dio sugerencias y decidí cambiar el radio por uno mas actual hasta instalaron unas cosas q yo compre Me siento segura que los cables están bien conectados, excelente trabajo Se los recomiendo Es bueno tener un lugar donde puedes confiar que el trabajo esta bien hecho - gracias read more

Absolutely great service. Helped me figure out what worked best for me and my needs at a good price. Got my viper alarm installed quick and easy. Will only be coming here from now on whenever I need a similar service done. read more

Tony the technician is 2 for 2 with some complex work I needed on both my Cadillac CTS (2008) and my Honda Odyssey (2001). On my Cadillac, after some bodywork, the backup camera stopped working. Tony did some thorough troubleshooting and discovered that when the trunk was closed, it became ungrounded--since the camera was grounded to the trunk, it lost its connection. Tony suggested grounding the camera elsewhere on the body, and it worked perfectly. I've never encountered a problem like this before, but Tony was able to track it down quickly and efficiently. For my Honda Odyssey, the key fob stopped working. I tried reprogramming it myself with an aftermarket fob, following all the instructions, but had no luck. Tony patiently repeated the reprogramming process several times and eventually got it working again. I highly recommend Guru Electronics, and if you're lucky enough to have Tony as your technician, you'll be in great hands. Guru, the owner, is a fantastic guy--always enjoyable to talk to, offering fair prices and even sharing some great spiritual insights. read more

SIMPLY OUTSTANDING. From the get go, Sunny was out to earn my business. He is responsive, respectful, knowledgeable and helpful. He gave me advice on cost tradeoffs and never tried to upsell me. I took my car in, was late, and he still accommodated me and got the job done in less time than expected. Fast, and under budget. Plus I now have great sound in my car. Stop looking around and just PICK SUNNY AT GUTU to get your car audio upgrade! read more

I came here 15 minutes after opening and was able to get help right away when I walked in. They are great at communicating, especially when you request a quote through Yelp, which was extremely helpful! Sunny is beyond a guru when it comes to car audio. He was checking the settings in my car before suggesting me the right audio that would fit best with my preferences. Sunny and his team were able to finish installing my subwoofers under an hour, since I was the first customer to walk in. By the time they were almost finished, a lot of people began coming in to get installations and it became so busy. I'm beyond satisfied with their services and before even coming here, I came in with high expectations for this place because of all the satisfied reviews I've read. I'm definitely coming back to upgrade my car play system when I'm more available. read more

Sunny is a wonderful guy and provides great service. Without asking he upgraded my product for no extra charge. Honest, straightforward and well stocked. Wow! Had an unfortunate accident with the rear camera and Sonny took me in immediately and repaired it on the spot. He is a gem, a treasure! Thanks Guru Electronics! read more

I needed a new dash cam installed and Sunny got me in exactly when I needed it. He installed it very quickly (like 1.5 hours!) and when I got there he helped me with the app and taught how to use every feature of the dash cam (I got the Q200). AND it was all for a reasonable price! Would definitely recommend going here for any car installation needs. read more

Excellent service. At arrival, Sunny explained where the cameras would go and when they operated very clearly. Time estimate was accurate. At pick-up, he showed me the finished work and answered questions. Very satisfied and 100% recommended. read more

I'm so thankful I found Guru Electronics!!! My Cadilac CUE system for my Escalade was out of warranty and had ongoing issues. The Cadillac dealer would not replace the screen, thry would only replace the whole system, which was going be over $1500. Guru was able to install a replacement screen I had purchased on Amazon for $150. His installer knocked it out in less than 2 hours!! If you have a Cadillac, you're likely aware there has been an issue with their CUE system. Prior to contacting Guru, I had visited 4 car audio specialists. None of them would commit to the job. I called Guru, he said bring it on in. Guru took it on without hesitation. They did a great job and my CUE system is working perfectly. read more

I purchased my own dash camera device and had it installed by Guru. They were more than happy to work with my own purchase, even though they sold several dash-cams at their location. Lots of high-end electronics in their store. Installation was done in a timely manner, and the waiting room and restroom were clean. I would use this place again if I ever have anything else electronic to be installed in my vehicles. read more

I wanted to add carplay / Android auto to my car, and all signs (correctly) pointed to Guru Electronics. Highly recommended. I got a few quotes from competitors, but Sunny was the most honest, direct and his team had a lot of experience with my exact job. He directed me to exactly what I would need to do before my appointment and made the whole thing seamless. Scheduling was super easy, he mentioned it would take 1-2hours, and I hung out in a nice waiting area with WiFi and plentiful power sources to work. 1.5 hours later, my car was outside with a fantastic update. I wish working with all service pros was this easy. read more

After hearing lots of recommendations for this place, I had to check it out since I just bought a 2001 Integra. Picked up a new Viper alarm as well as a new Pioneer stereo as well installed. The staff is super friendly & helpful. Think it's run by a father & son. Both were helpful in all my questions & and honestly, the best price that I see in the Bay. I highly recommend making an appointment since they do get busy in the weekend. They do have a customer area with Netflix & wifi. I recommend bringing a phone charger they do have outlets to charge. Overall i recommend this spot. I will bring my other car for a sound system next. read more

I originally had an aftermarket CarPlay system installed by Best Buy and it gave me nothing but trouble, so when Kevin's Auto Repair (another gem) recommended Guru Electronics, I made an appointment. Sunny set me up with a unit that I really liked but, for whatever reason, it didn't play nice with my phone. He helped me troubleshoot and then, when it just wasn't reliable, Sunny replaced that unit with a comparable unit by a different brand, at no cost to me. Works great now! Sunny and the rest of the folks at Guru were committed to making sure I was happy, and everyone was very pleasant throughout the entire process. Excellent customer service, and I'll be recommending Guru to anyone I can. read more

Wow!! Guru Electronics made getting an alarm installed super easy and quick. I sent in a help request and had an answer shortly after. I was able to bring my vehicle right down for drop off.

Prices are competitive, but go here for the BEST service around. I will be back for a remote start on another vehicle. read more

5 out of 5. If you want experienced technicians installing your car audio upgrade, look no further than Guru Electronics Car Audio in San Jose! I spoke with Sunny regarding installing a new head unit. I gave them the details of the job and set up an appointment time. I was surprised to see how prepared they were. A very professional business with all the supplies needed to install your stereo or sound system in your vehicle. They even have a small waiting room with phone chargers but bring your own cable. They will even sit with you to test the stereo to make sure you are satisfied. I found the cost of labor reasonable and the parts are priced at a fair MSRP. If you don't want to do car audio installations yourself, visit Guru Electronics Car Audio! read more

Went here because it had the best ratings on yelp and I personally experienced a 5 star service. I went in thinking I needed new RCA cables but they tested my wires and confirmed I only needed a new amp. They didn't try to push me on a bunch of equipment I didn't need like most places I experienced in the past. So I went ahead and purchased an amp which I'm really satisfied with and the job was really clean. Another thing is they quoted me a price and stayed true to it and didn't try to upscale the price with a bunch of hidden fees once the work was completed. At Gurus they do honest work as well as the workers there are all very well educated and know what there doing. I highly recommend coming here for a reasonable price and high quality work. As long as there still in business, they'll always have mine. read more

Had a VIOFO A329S 3CH dash cam installed in my BMW X5i. Sunny was awesome to work with--super responsive over email, walked me through the process, and confirmed the setup would work for my vehicle.

Everything was straightforward and done right. I'd come back without hesitation and will ask for Sunny again. read more
