Right when I spoke to Victor over the phone, I could tell he was the right guy to take my car to. I took my car to his shop because of an issue I thought was related to an anti-theft system that I was experiencing on a car that I had just bought and I wanted to get it removed to solve my issue. He immediately was able to diagnose that the alarm wasn't the problem, but did not hesitate one second to help me figure out my car. We worked together inspecting the car, scratching our heads but ultimately, he was able to figure out the electrical wiring issue I had. I was stressed all day cause of my car but he made me feel like I was in good hands even though he wasn't a mechanic. I genuinely appreciated his patience and willingness to help. He definitely was the savior to my day. He is an amazing business owner and even more of an amazing human being. He gave me a tour of his shop and offered plenty of refreshments. I will 100% be recommending his business to my family and friends. Thanks again for saving my day Victor! read more

Car stereo systems have become increasingly complex with advancements in technology. The cost of a full car audio system has risen significantly, making it a serious investment for vehicles owners. If you're like me, and want the best stereo for your car, you'll also want to ensure it's installed by a professional. After visiting several local shops in Orange County area and dealing with pushy salespeople trying to unload their showroom equipment, I found Victor at So Cal Audio Solutions. During my initial visit, I met with Victor to discuss a complete stereo system for my truck, including speakers, two amplifiers, a subwoofer, a backup camera, and some off-road lighting. While Victor did have some equipment in stock, he had no issue with me bring in my own car audio gear. After receiving a quote from Victor, I decided to purchase everything from Crutchfield and had it shipped to my house. I then scheduled an appointment and dropped my truck off. When I got my truck back, I was thrilled with how clean and professional the installation was. Victor even went the extra mile by fixing and tidying up some loose wiring for the rear door locks. If you're considering a car stereo upgrade, I highly recommend meeting with Victor to discuss your project. I'm already planning to get a dash cam for my truck, and without a doubt , I'll be bring it back to So Cal Audio Solutions. read more

Great service, amazing flexibility and very responsive. We just had a dash cam install and he did a great job.

I received excellent service from Victor! I called after reading great reviews and he was very courteous. He looked at my vehicle and went over the options with me and gave me a well-priced estimate. A few days later he did the installation very quickly. I'm very happy with the outcome and highly recommend this business! read more

Victor is a total pro. He was helpful in figuring out the right setup for my car, responsive, and he did a really clean job installing a subwoofer with amp etc. His pricing is also really competitive. I would definitely recommend. read more

If you have a high-end vehicle with an elaborate sound system you basically have two service options in So. OC, one in Newport, the other less than 5 miles away in Costa Mesa. My Bentley has a 20 speaker sound system and nothing is easily accessible. It's like owning a boat...Break Out Another Thousand no matter how small the service need is. I needed to replace a blown speaker in the dash. I gathered quotes from both companies. Victor at So Cal Audio Solutions was a regular nice guy who explained the challenges unique to my Continental GT Speed couple and why the labor would require 8 hours to complete installation of two small speakers. Yep...a thousand bucks. Then I visited the other shop to get an estimate. When I shook this guy's hand, I instantly felt the need to shower. An icky feeling enveloped me and I could not wait to get outta there. Then I received an initial email from him stating, "This is a minimum 20 hour job. And would probably run into the $3500 to $4000 range to replace one 1.5 inch speaker. What I recommend is not replacing the dash mount unit, but disconnecting them and relocating some new tweeters to the door or the kick panels. It would be about a quarter of the price." "In a second message, after explaining how an overhaul of the entire system is best he writes, "Our labor is $140 per hour, 22 to 26 hours is my guesstimate. ( $3000 to $3600ish ) and $300 for a set of tweets Audiofrog GB15s would have the same characteristics of the OEM tweeter but sound much better ( just remember, I have no control over how they sound as I cant change the EQ/DSP settings." The email goes on & on like this and near the end he states, "I'm not telling you this to scare you, I want you to know what you are getting into. No matter how good the tech, no matter how anal retentive they are, sh#t happens. We do Rolls Royce, Bentleys, Ferraris, Lambos etc. We are not afraid of any cars, but there are a few cars like yours that are the bane of our industry." So if you trust your gut like I do and hand your fob to Victor...you too can enjoy the amazing sound you require without the inflated costs, delays and bovine excrement that their bigger competitor spews. My advice, get quotes from both places but wear a glove when you shake the other guy's hand. Ewwww. Vic fixed my system in a single day and when he removed the dash he discovered some bolts that secure the air bags missing nuts (see pic) and before reinstalling the dash, went and found the missing parts and installed them all on his own. That says all ya need to know about the man. Zero room for improvement. The sound is back to normal (which is amazing) and I am completely satisfied. So Cal Audio Solutions sets the customer care bar so high, the competition needs to charter a jet just to see it. Actually, with the prices they charge, they can probably go see it in their own jet. LOL Thanks Victor! read more

I had Victor install a Porsche PCCM+ into my older 911 with an aftermarket backup camera. He did a terrific job and most likely saved me a lot of headaches if I tried to do it myself. He was easy to get a hold of, did a nice clean job and did the whole installation very efficiently. In fact, I told him I wish I knew about him before I bought the PCCM to replace my old stock stereo. Because his aftermarket alternatives from Alpine and Kenwood are better and cheaper! I highly recommend this business. read more

We started with a new pioneer system a few weeks ago, everything was perfect. This time around we added an amplifier and 4 new speakers. My boat sounds great now and we can't wait to ride on the lake with it. I'm very particular on who works on my stuff, this guy is professional, on time and is extremely reliable. I highly recommend!!! read more

I contacted Victor about installing a new stereo in an older work van I own, I gave him the make and model and scheduled a time to meet him at my office. He arrived promptly at the scheduled time and had brought with him several different choices that will fit in my van and within minutes he had removed my old stereo and was putting in the new one, in less than an hour the new stereo was connected and working! I was impressed with his professionalism and customer service, and I will definitely use him again in the future. Highly recommended! read more

Victors attention to detail is unmatched. Not only did he help repair and install both broken subs but was able to test out each one before even installing them which helped us determine that one of them that I bought from a dealer was broken from the factory. If you are considering getting any audio repair or upgrades to your car Victor is your man! Thank you so much again Victor. My drives are so much better now without blown subwoofers. read more

Although the Yelp reviews led me to believe we were going to end up with a great speaker system I was wrong. I had Victor install 2 new rear speakers. They were not cheap which I figured would end up being worth the price. Ever since he installed them my car sounds like I have Jet Plane in my car. When I drive it has the most annoying exhaust sound. I tried to have him come and fix the issue but he said he doesn't know what it is. Something wasn't done right. Now I have to take it to a shop to get fixed. read more

Victor is great. He's mobile so he comes to you. Just had him install a pioneer with CarPlay in my 2008 FJ cruiser to replace stock unit. He added all the necessary equipment and a few extras. Finished in 1 hour. His prices are very reasonable. He knows his stuff and I highly recommend him. read more

Victor did a great job. Excellent communications, professional skill and outstanding price. The went over estimated time. Not issue. Great job. Highly recommended. read more

Got a new car and didn't like the stereo it came with. I am not a stereo enthusiast, don't care about impressing any passers nearby, and am picky about keeping things looking stock and hidden. I was referred to So Cal Audio Solutions for him being honest and that he makes house calls. I reached out to Victor and chatted about what I needed. He gave me some solutions that fit my budget and option for future expansion if needed (This process took some time for he is extremely busy). Once the appointment was made, the entire process was extremely fast and painless. Didn't have to leave my car at the shop for days, He came out on a holiday, the installation was clean and tidy, and the end results had me smiling ear to ear. Also, he even lowered the price due to a change in one of the speakers he installed to ensure a better fit. so, super nice guy, honest, on time, convenient, and an expert at his craft. Highly recommended. -R read more

Victor is a professional, and perfectionist. I have a 2016 new to me Cadillac CTS - Vsport with the Bose sound system. Stock sound is a little weak. I have a custom exhaust that sounds like my caddy feeds on the souls of Civics and Evo's for breakfast and needed some oomph... more bass to match. Victor presented me with equipment options and I have to say he integrated a powered sub into my system perfectly. He is familiar with adding anything to Bose factory systems and I couldn't be happier. He knew what equipment would work for my application, has it in stock and was able to install it in an hour. I went from a text to boom boom extremely fast. Thank You Victor!!! read more

There is nothing more refreshing than meeting a person who is not only good at their job but also a good person. Victor troubleshot an issue with my lightbar that I couldn't get anyone else to look at, not even the original installer. He arrived on-time, finished promptly and charged a fair price. I would recommend him for any vehicle or issues. read more

Victor is very knowledgeable and helped me fix a stereo install that 2 installers could not get right on my 2021 Infiniti. I definitely recommend if you want an expert to do your install. read more

Victor did a clean, neat install on a low profile kicker powered 10" sub on my 22 Jeep Wrangler JL. Would definitely use him again.

Victor came to install a car radio that I had bought on Amazon. I was going to attempt to do it myself, but I am glad that I didn't! The radio I purchased on Amazon (although it said it works with all cars) did not fit into my car. Luckily, Victor had brought with him a couple of different radio options that he had and I ended up purchasing one from him and returning the one I got on Amazon. He was professional, showed up on time, and was nice to walk me through how to use all of the features after he was done installing. Great experience and would definitely recommend to anyone! read more

Victor is great! Had a dealer install the backup camera and monitor in my truck. Never had a clear picture and was not usable at night. Victor came out and replaced the bad wiring the dealer had done and replaced the camera. Perfect picture now. Couldn't be happier with the service. read more
