Fast and great install last month. Helped with an older vehicle, which has limited choices read more

Jeff at KarTunes is a great guy and knows his trade. He dialed in equipment I installed to make it sound 10x better than I had it. I'll definitely use Kartunes for my next audio build. read more

Kartunes Autosound 12 volt specialist - Rockford Fosgate audio equipment - Car Stereo Installation Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

This is an excellent company. They professionally installed a Thinkware dash cam system in my car four years ago. The installation was done well and the system works great. Recently, I was rear ended in a car accident and my dash cam recorded the incident. I was having trouble saving and downloading the relevant recording. I went to Kartunes and Aron spent roughly 40 minutes assisting me in saving the critical video. He went above and beyond. I highly recommend this company. read more

As a woman who knows nothing about cars, it can be intimidating walking into auto shops -- I've had bad experiences in the past with places taking advantage of my lack of knowledge. But Kartunes Auto Sound & Remote Starts was the complete opposite. They helped me install a CarPlay system and were honest, professional, and transparent from start to finish. I brought in a unit I bought on Amazon (just days before the return window closed), and they actually advised me to return it and get a new one -- so I'd have the full 30 days to return it if anything went wrong. That level of honesty really stood out. Once I got the replacement, they installed it smoothly and were upfront about some minor product issues when I picked up the car. The pricing was fair and clearly explained -- no hidden fees or surprise charges. A few days later, I accidentally disconnected my phone and came back for help. They troubleshooted the issue without charging me, which I truly appreciated. I left feeling safe, respected, and taken care of -- something I don't often feel at auto shops. Highly recommend Kartunes, especially if you value transparency and professionalism. read more

Great service and the employees were really nice! Highly recommend checking them out

Had a car stereo installed here and I am very pleased with the results. I was impressed with the availability they were able to get me into the shop quickly. I think they charged a good price for the services provided and they did quality work. I would highly recommend using them for any of your car electronic and window tinting needs! read more

They provide everything.. but there are long wait times. Be careful.. This location seems to be a one stop shop. Providing tinting, car audio service, and even breathalyzer interlock or alarm installation. This location in town based off of rio Salado and the 101 in Tempe.. To all the DUI Interlock Holders- my sympathy goes out to you. Unless this is the closest location to you, I would recommend trying elsewhere. Drive time, or even the Moana Express in Mesa. Try a different place.. Pro tip- installation and service fees should be a Total fee NOT PER each window... wow. read more

Brought my vehicle in to Kartunes after another shop had completed unsatisfactory work. The previous shop had tried and tried and tried to make repairs to my unit, making me spend hundreds more than the thousands I had already spent. After nearly a year of being jerked around by a franchise automotive stereo shop, I rolled into Kartunes who immediately diagnosed the problem, had the part available, installed said parts and had my vehicle done in less than 3 hours. Without a doubt I would bring my vehicle here again. I admired the confidence of the technician who called me during the work to let me know their findings and am relieved that my expensive unit is now working properly. Many thanks! read more

Customer Service here is stellar ;-) without a doubt. I really appreciated the owner trying to take care of their customers. Their stereos yes absolutely great value for your money. The service requested was ok to me just maybe a bit more communication that's about it. Good guys for sure. read more

Had a good experience. Took in my car at the exact time. Took about 2 hrs to add Dash Cam front and back. Professional installation.

I reached out through Yelp for assistance getting my stereo installed and within moments was messaged by Jeff. Jeff proceed to figure out what it was I was looking to get done and provided me with price and time the job would take. Jeff did his own research with me on the phone and reassured me that they had it handled. Jeff and his team did an excellent job for an excellent price and I will gladly be sending any referrals their way. read more

Kartunes Autosound 12 volt specialist - New stereo installed - Car Stereo Installation Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Excellent customer service! Knowledgeable staff and high-end options for car audio. These people know their stuff. I brought my car in with multiple issues that were created by a dealership's maintenance department, and the Kartunes owner knew exactly what the problem was just by hearing my description. Two other car stereo shops couldn't even figure it out by looking at it. When faced with unforeseen issues with my subs at pick-up time, the team rallied to get my amplifier in operating order even though the shop was closed, and I offered to leave the car overnight. It was working within 10 minutes. Beyond impressive. Any time I need anything for car audio or car systems-related, I will be coming here. Full Stop. read more

Horrible work quality. I brought my truck in for an autostart. When I got On the freeway my hood almost popped open. I called them they said it must of accidentally became unlatched when they were working under the dash. I had to take it to a shop to get it fixed. They didn't hook up the hood release back up. So not Only was My hood left unlatched, they left it Not working and left the zip Tie trash on the floor. Very unhappy with the quality of Work. It was extremely scary watching my hood Wobble like it was about to come unlatched. read more

I was first introduced to Kartunes from my dealership. I was looking for an automatic lift gate for my Toyota 4Runner and my salesman recommended them. I trust my Toyota guy so I trusted Kartunes. When I got it installed they did a spectacular job. Really clean and looks like it's factory made. I had some difficulty with the product and the staff at Kartunes were always professional and helpful in the adjustments and repairs. They offered an upgrade to correct the design problem and never made me feel bad. I continue to use this company and have referred friends and family and they all say wonderful things about the service and staff. I can recommend them without hesitation. You just can't go wrong with Kartunes! read more

Excellent customer service and quality workmanship. I needed a 12 volt power line and coax for antenna line into the cab of my new GMC Sierra Denali for a two way radio install. They did a perfect, clean, and safe install of the lines. Couldn't be more satisfied. Made and appointment and they did everything as promised. read more

I came in looking to purchase a new head unit for my Toyota Tacoma. The deal on the parts alone were the best I found after calling other shops in the area. They insisted on doing the install themselves and offered the cheapest installation price. Friendly and helpful staff! Will be coming back for other upgrades read more

KarTunes installed sound deadening material in my 2019 Corvette, Grand Sport. The difference is fantastic. My wife and I can actually carry on a conversation.

Great job installing my high-tech alarm system. I did my research on the best system and "Compustar" was rated better than any other company including Viper. Kartunes carries "Compustar" and installs them professionally. On time, quality install, friendly people to deal with. Alarm is incredible and working perfectly. Gives me great peace-of-mind, especially when parked in public areas or on my frequent trips to Mexico. Remote start, GPS tracker, all the bells and whistles! read more

Stopped by to see if I could set up an appointment to have someone look at my crappy Audio Express installation & to my surprise the guy Jeff working the front desk came out & discovered the issues immediately!! Walked away with a brand new, issue free sound system in my truck!!! I am so happy to recommend Kar-Tunes Autosound to anyone who is looking for honest, fair priced audio products & workmanship!!! No wonder they've been in business for 30 years!!! read more

Go to audio express!!!!! I had 2 vehicles worked on there with no issues and if there was something, it was fixed at no cost. My third vehicle, I went to Kartunes and have had nothing but problems. As soon as I left, my sub was going off for no reason. My amp was also placed under the driver seat where anything could spill because I have a toddler, it overheats with no airflow and everytime I adjust my seats, it hits it. I asked why the bad placement, it was always on the backseat and they said "to save wire." My tweeters pop out and my sub still goes on and off for no reason after the issue was "fixed." I'm disappointed and definitely regret changing up from Audio Express. read more

Today, I had a new JL Audio monoblock amp installed by Kar-Tunes. I cannot say enough good things about the entire team. I normally do my own car audio install work, but I decided not to this time. I spent a few days researching potential shops to help me out. I stumbled across Kar-Tunes on Yelp. They have a healthy amount of reviews and mostly positive. I was a little skeptical initially...So, I searched through the interwebs to find objective info about them. I discovered a very interesting backstory about Kar-Tunes. The most intriguing part was that they started out by supplying and installing car audio for car dealerships. To me, that sounds like a lot of trust to put into a car audio shop early on in their existence. After reading various reviews and objective research, I decided to entrust them with my car. I ended up making a great decision. Two days ago, I pulled up in front of their shop, which had multiple clean bays. Good sign. I walked into the shop and was immediately greeted by Jeff. Turns out I was actually greeted by the owner! Crazy timing. I explained my goals for the install, and my budget. Jeff suggested some quality gear that managed to be under my budget. He was very attentive and listened to all my concerns and requests. Turns out they were short-handed this week and they couldn't get me in until today. No one in the shop showed any real stress from being short-handed which was very professional. Kudos. That's a big pet peeve of mine. At some point in time, we all end up picking up slack at work, right?! Anyway, I decided to wait in their "lobby" while the work completed. The couch was super comfortable and they had plenty of distractions to stay busy while waiting. I ended up having a really nice chat with Dee (not sure on the spelling). She works as the administrative person there. She was very nice and kept me up to date throughout the install process. The install completed after about four hours, which was done by Jeff! Pretty cool that the owner cares enough to help his team out when they're short-handed. He showed me how he mounted the amp, bass knob, and the subwoofer. He also showed me how he ran the cabling, terminated the ground, and tuned everything. Really nice walkthrough for me. I care about the details and he could tell. Everything sounded perfect when I sat in my car. I haven't had to adjust anything! Incredible. I had a huge stupid smile all the way home! I highly recommend Kar-Tunes be in your top two choices when looking for an install shop. Obviously, do your research. Just know that I had a very positive experience. Thanks again, Jeff and team! read more

Awesome shop. Jeff and Sebastian did a great job and despite a slight glitch infigured out a perfect solution for the alarm/remote start install. Highly recommend this shop and would use them again! Today I went back to the shop two weeks after purchasing the system for some upgrades. Jeff and his team promptly took care of me and explained everything and I was on my way in under 45 minutes.. truly amazing and I will tell anyone who asks ....this is the shop for them! read more

I took my 2003 CRV to Kartunes to remove the old rotten security system. My appoint was at 2PM The job was done in 45 min and I was charged a great fee. I have been coming to this company over 12 years. They normally changed out my radios since I keep my trucks and cars for over 10 years. Thanks Dee, and the installer team- Happy new year!!!! read more

Very good customer service!!! KarTunes went beyond the call to fix my audio problem! read more

great response time for my initial request

Yesterday I went in to this shop and didn't spend a dime but these straight shooting folks have earned a future customer for sure. Thanks Jeff and Tec Ulysses for your honesty and helping me understand my audio issue was simply an SVC problem. read more

I had an alarm installed in my '05 Duramax, had a few issues with the factory GM security system complicating matters however, the guys hung in there and figured it out! They even sent out their shop manager (Shane) to my house, instead of having me come back to the shop. Their customer service is second to none!! Everyone I dealt with from beginning to end was very professional! I highly recommend this company!! read more

Another Update: I was having issues with my Apple Car Play, so called James for advice. Since it's been ages since my system was installed, I really just wanted some feedback on how to diagnose the problem. Instead, James sent me down to where one of his associates was working. Shane diagnosed the problem (which had nothing to do with the stereo) and I was on my way with a working system. They didn't have to do anything. They went out of their way to accommodate me, and I can't thank them enough. Outstanding service. UPDATE: it turns out that the reason I did not hear from Kartunes is that the Honda dealer gave them the wrong number. James was finally able to get a hold of me and made plans to fix my stereo system. We made an appointment and he got it done. That is outstanding service. I'm just sorry that he and Kartunes gotthe blame for something that was clearly the fault of someone else. After several months of my system working only intermittently at best, I called the Honda dealership, (Bell Honda), only to be told that their contractor was busy but would call me and come to my house to repair it. That was three weeks ago. Bell Honda has forgotten all about me, and Kartunes apparently no longer cares about the shoddy work they performed. Never again. read more

I came to KarTunes to install a remote start for my car that works for my phone. They were extremely responsive, great at communicating, and did an amazing job making sure that everything worked and that I knew how to use it. Absolutely top notch service. It makes me wish I had more things I need done to my cars so I could use them again! read more

I left a message with Make model and year of a car that I wanted some sound deadening material installed. they told me that someone would call me back to schedule a time for me to come in for a quote. it's been over a week now. still waiting on that call......... read more

Took my car in because of a recommendation as I live in west Phoenix as the two previous installers totally messed up my car stereo system. The reverse camera cable was run over the exhaust and stopped working, the amp power was run to the drivers seat power and the power cable was speaker wire and was melting. The guys at Kartunes found these issues and not only fixed what was wrong but I now have a system in my car that is absolutely amazing! I'd give these guys a 10 not a 5 if ratings went that high! I had a new amp put in, drone security with remote access that is amazing too and a very good investment for car security. It took 4 days to fix and was worth every second my 2012 VW Golf R was in their shop.. what an awesome shop, totally knowledgeable staff on all their products and a first class very neat install. Best shop I've ever been too with multiple cars over the past decades. read more

Spoke to Jeff, the owner prior to purchasing our blind spot system and tracking system for our sons car. He answered all my questions and was more than helpful! Upon going in for the install everyone was very friendly and helpful! I am terrible at remembering names but everyone that we dealt with was more than helpful! read more

Couldn't have been happier with the customer service at Kartunes. Had a couple subs installed in my Duramax, they sound great! After having them installed my windshield wipers weren't working, called in and Jason had me come in ASAP no questions asked. Not only did he fix that issue he rewired my back up camera (installed at the dealer, it never worked quite right, but now it's perfect) at no charge. Thanks Jason! read more

Quick and exactly what I was needing. The girl in front (dang I can't remember her name) was very helpful and explained everything. Main selling point was that I didn't have to wait weeks, but a couple of days to have my auto start installed. Everything turned out great and I so glad I went with them. Loved the service and that the installer actually walked me through operation. Highly recommend! read more

These guys are great. Checked out a couple other shops before Kartunes. Other shops tried to sell me something I didn't want and were way over priced in my opinion. Kartunes listened to what I was looking for and set me up with what I wanted for a fair pric. Update: Was installing a custom sub box myself, had some things I wasn't sure about so I went back to Kartunes and spoke to Jeff. He hooked me up with some wires g and the correct parts i needed to finish my install for free. Much appreciated!!! read more

I worked with Jeff, the owner of the location, and what a great guy. He was very helpful and didn't try to push big ticket items on me. He was thorough when assessing my wants, needs, and expectations and the results are in my 2011 f150 regular cab. Needless to say I could not be happier, and we were in range of my price range. Kenwood DVD receiver, Memphis Audio speakers and 10" sub with box, JL audio 3 channel amp. Thanks guys I will be sure to bring all my vehicles to you, nothing but high praise. -Josh Z. read more
