Mike is fantastic to work with. I first brought in my Tundra to upgrade the weak JBL system. I told him it had no bass and wasn't loud enough, even at full volume. He recommended an amp and subwoofer to get the sound I wanted but also mentioned that I might eventually want a new head unit and speakers. Since I wanted to keep my factory head unit for its remote start and tracking features, he didn't push me to change it--just gave his honest opinion and did exactly what I asked. The result was perfect. A couple of years later, I wanted some minor tuning adjustments. I stopped by to ask what I needed, and Mike not only handled the adjustments but also updated the amp's firmware. I expected to pay for the service, but he did it for free--just part of his commitment to great customer service. Now, five years later, my system still sounds great, but I'm having issues with the factory head unit. I asked Mike about a replacement I was considering, and instead of just agreeing, he asked what I really wanted. Within minutes, he showed me a better option--$600 cheaper than the one I was looking at. After researching it myself, I realized he was absolutely right, so I scheduled the upgrade with him. Mike is knowledgeable, honest, and never pushy. If you need car audio work, this is the place to go--hands down. read more

Called for an appointment and he was booked solid for 2 weeks ahead. I told him the previous shop connected my amp wrong. He said bring it in as a walk in and I'll look at it. I brought it in, he took my head unit out showed me what was wrong and the wire to connect it too. He didn't charge me anything!!! What an honest man!!! I can see why he is booked solid for 2 weeks ahead. read more

Mike was fantastic. He replaced the audio system in my 2015 Toyota Highlander at half the price that Toyota wanted. Super nice guy and we are very pleased! read more

My older brother came by asking for ground wires. Mike handled it, got everything done quickly. Big thanks to Mike - highly recommend this place! read more

The best! So grateful Tune Time was suggested to me! I was driving around with a crackling speaker for ages before going in. Not only was the owner friendly and helpful, but also funny! Laughter is good medicine and these new speakers are literally music to my ears. Thank you Tune Time! read more

I like this guy, extremely honest and knowledgable! He can work on a Rolls Royce Phantom or a Honda Civic with the same level of passion. Thanks for the advice mate! read more

I just wanted to give a huge thank you to Mike here! My wife and I walked in this morning to inquire about upgrading the stereo in my 2015 wrangler prior to a long drive to Utah on a few days short notice. All the places we had called the day prior were too busy to be able to help us, so we weren't too hopeful we could get it done before our trip. Well, he just so happened to have someone cancel that morning so he was able to squeeze us in and we had a new stereo installed in under 2 hours! I told him what I was looking for in a stereo and he knocked it out of the park with an awesome alpine stereo and of the awesome customer service. He's made a loyal customer out of us and I will be back for some more upgrades in the future. He's a straight forward guy so you know what you are getting and I respect the hell out of that. Thanks so much for your help today Mike! We will be back. read more

Tune Time Stereo and Alarm - Audio Mobile 8" subs - Car Stereo Installation Near Me - Redlands, California

Don't bother wasting your time. Another scandalous business owner from San Bernardino trying to hide under the umbrella of Redlands city. U will get scammed. He will do low end quality work and charge u top dollar. Not only is the work crappy but the service and equipment is not up to par either. There are a few other reviews about this guy being rude and calling people's cars "pieces of shit". He did the same to my vehicle. Not only did he insult me and my vehicle but he also damaged my vehicle, my engine light came on after pickup and he also damaged my parking/emergency brake pedal. The brake pedal would not latch at all and had to take my to take my truck to the Toyota dealer across the street for a true diagnostic because I knew he could not be trusted at this point. Upon review the dealer did say in fact that he damage my parking break and the engine light was a faulty sensor that he must've tampered with or replaced. I paid for them to fix and for diagnostic. This is not about the money it's about performing proper service to customers. I paid for all of these things out of pocket just so I didn't have to deal with the owner again. Including 4 different Uber trips of $40 each. On top of the damages and poor customer service it's been 2 months and I'm still waiting for banks to finish investigation so my money can be refunded. He also damaged my tweeters and did not install crossovers, rear backup camera or my steering wheel controls. I have returned all of his equipment and won't be returning. Save yourself the headache and go elsewhere. If u do decide to go to this guy (which u shouldn't) make sure ALL labor and parts are written in the paper. Including small things such as rear camera, steering wheels controls etc. He will write $1000 for labor don't let him. Make sure he writes out each labor task and prices it. Otherwise u will have problems get your money refunded from the bank. read more

10/10 Very nice, quick They helped me remove a cheap alarm system within 10 minutes I'll be going back in the future for one of their systems read more

I took my Teryx in for the radio to be checked out. He went through the system and tightened the connections and was done in a few hours. They are very friendly and professional. I would definitely recommend this place if you have any radio needs. read more

Very good Busniess Mike is a great guy treated me well he was fair took me in right away and didn't charge an arm or a let

Been to this shop 3 times. We replace cars so often I always put new radar detectors in them and have them hard wired. Mike did all three cars. The first trip to his shop he was pretty cool and I was Interested in updating the factory speakers to something a bit better. He showed me the systems and seemed pleasant. Which, if your going to spend money there he will be very accommodating. I ended up not having any stereo upgrades done and just had him do the hard wire kit for the radar detector. He told me drive around and just pull the car in his shop, which I did. Performed the work and off I went. Few months later I had another car that needed the same hard wire kit. I pulled to the rear of the building and parked at the entrance to the shop. I went to speak with Mike and told him about the hard wire kit. Seemed kinda irritated, probably because he wasn't making any money on a 20 minute job. Once he got started on the kit, he started talking smack about the car I brought in. How it's a pile of crap, not made well and various other derogatory comments. I thought he was joking or maybe his sense of humor was a bit dry. I blew it off as he was having a bad day. About 6 months later we bought a Dodge Challenger that I needed the same hard wire kit installed. This time I'd called ahead and told him I was coming. He had some smart ass retort about me having another car already, like it was any of his business. When I arrived this time, instead of parking at the entrance to his shop I just pulled the car right in the work area and parked. After a few minutes Mike came into the shop, face red, pissed off and starts scolding me for pulling into the shop. He told me "don't ever just pull in my shop like that again" and my response was, "don't you worry, you'll never have to worry about me doing it again." He proceeded to install the wiring kit and again, told me what a piece is shit my Challenger was and acted like he'd rather be getting a root canal. No Mike, I haven't forgotten the horrible way you spoke to me and treated me. That same pos Challenger had a 10k stereo upgrade installed by competitor about 3 months after you disrespected me in your shop. A title late posting this, by about 3 years, but I never forget. read more

I needed a new cd/radio in my car. The service at this company goes way beyond expectations! And be sure to say hi to the doggone cutest official greeter, Sami the pup. read more

Clean, perfect installation. Very reasonable pricing. Honest, knowledgeable and will steer you right, if you need advice.

My camera on my Jeep failed. They installed a new one and I drove it home. I paid for it. I called them later stating it wasn't what I wanted -- I needed backup colored lines that were bright. I returned it and they installed a new one at no charge. I offered to pay; but, they insisted it was part of their customer service. You can't get better service. Mike and his staff are the best!!! read more

After the sound equipment was stolen Mike was able to get it all back together for us. He has installed or repaired the sound system in all 4 of our cars and trucks. And he kept the cost to affordable. Thanks again Mike read more

Mike recommended a radio for me to buy and installed it for me this morning. I am pleased with the radio and delighted at how quickly the installation went. Mike is a keeper and I will continue to do business at Tune Time. read more

My husband took our 2012 Acura TSX here to get a backup camera installed. The dashboard doesn't have room for a monitor, so the monitor is located is located in the rearview mirror. Keep in mind that the monitor only shows when the car is in reverse, otherwise it works like a regular rearview mirror. The camera is located near the rear license plate. Although this was a pricey upgrade to our five year old car, I felt it was worth the cost. It was very well done and looks OEM. Also, we plan to drive this car into the ground, so having a backup camera really helps me. Overall, I highly recommend this place. read more

See all

I went here for a consult based on the awesome Yelp reviews. Unfortunately I was not impressed. I felt like they were not really interested in helping me since I just needed a basic head unit upgrade for my commuter car. Asked what kinda stereos he had, first thing he said was, "money talks." When asked if I wanted to keep my steering wheel controls (of course yes), he said, "money money money. That's what I like to hear." Only a few models to actually see, not even a catalog, and prices weren't totally clear. When I did the math in my head, my "basic" unit would cost at least the price of a mid model. Spending over $300 on something I can't even see beforehand is kinda odd also. Made me feel dumb when I had questions. Um, I am a radio layperson, that's why I am not doing this myself. My gut said no, and I was very underwhelmed, so I will be buying and installing elsewhere. read more

The guy here was extremely helpful!! Very nice, funny and informative!! He saved us a ton of time and money! Drove out here from Menifee just to come here, will do it again if we need services again. read more

I bought an older diesel and brought it to mike at tune time and he built me a custom box that fits perfectly behind my back seat, wired up my subwoofers and amp installed a double din head unit and back up camera. I was extremely satisfied with the quality of work he put into my vehicle he was very knowledgeable and didn't beat around the bush. I just went back to get all the door speakers done and again he killed it I couldn't be happier with the work he did. My truck was cleaner than when I brought it in, no wire clippings on my floor no loose screws or loose trim. I will not go anywhere else for my stereo needs. Highly recommend read more

Got an outrageous estimate at another Redlands shop and then talked to Mike at Tune Time. He got me in and out in just over an and charged me less than half the other shop was going to charge me. They are super knowledgeable, friendly and helpful and FAST! And the shop's dog Sammie is adorable. Thanks Mike! read more

We took our car to Tune Time needing a new stereo and alarm installed. We could not be happier! Great service and great quality! Mike helped my wife pick out exactly what she wanted and needed. We will be going to see them for all our car stereo need from now on. Thanks Tune Time!!! read more

I've been going to Mike now for over a decade. Today he absolutely knocked it out of the park (again) with the install. He installed an Alpine Halo unit in my vehicle and as always he surpassed what was expected. For those lucky enough to get to know Mike understand it's hard to find a better person in the business. - buy once, cry once! read more

Came in to purchase a fuse for the avalanche. GREAT experience. The gentleman in the shop came out to the truck to take a look, replaced the fuse, no questions asked. He took his time and answered our questions. Extremely knowledgeable and was looking out for OUR best interest, which seems to be very uncommon in the car repair industry. Will return and definitely recommend. read more

Mike did an awesome job installing my stereo system. I am very particular about aesthetics and could not be more pleased. A very clean install and my system sounds great. My expectations were exceeded. Great job Mike, Larry Flores read more

Got a car alarm installed on an older vehicle here. He was through and patient. Couldn't be happier with his work. Definitely recommend.

Mike is awesome! I just went in...scared him half to death. In spite of the near brush with death he jumped into my car. Did a reset with my non-operational Kenwood stereo and fixed it!!! Such a great guy! Highly recommend him!!! Love you Mike!!! This is the only way I could pay you back!!! read more

Michael took care of my problem immediately. After months of not using my alarm because of a damaged remote, I stopped by and was up and running in 5 minutes. Courteous , experienced and helpful. Even offered to rewire something for me at a later date , gratis. Good vibes. read more

Tune Time Stereo and Alarm - Car Stereo Installation Near Me - Redlands, California

Went to another place trying to get my viper remote alarm fixed because it wasn't locking the door. I would press the lock button and it would say it was locked but wouldn't actually send a signal to the door. Well the idiot at the other place just started unplugging wires and then the entire door wouldn't work.. so we took it to Mike at Tune Time and he fixed our problem within 15 minutes! And he was so sweet he didn't even want to charge us. But since we are old school and he did a quick and efficient job there was no way we were going to leave without paying him. This guy is a hardworking man who takes care of his customers and you will for sure leave happy! Thank you Mike for all your hard work and help read more

Had my subs done somewhere else in Redlands and they were installed correctly and just didn't sound good at all then I took my truck to Tune Time because my dad and brother both had great experiences and I've never been more pleased with quality work. Huge thanks to Zach & Mike for being so transparent and awesome at what they do(: They set me up with new subs and an amp and we're able to do the whole setup within a short amount of time. They are welcoming, down to earth guys and will take great care of you. THANKS GUYS!! read more

Mike at tune time listened to what I wanted and gave me a suggestion that was well within my budget for a head unit with backup camera. I placed a deposit and the components were in stock within a week. Installation was painless for me and Mike took plenty of time to show me how to use the new head unit. While a very simple install, Mike did a clean job, left no mess, and used high quality components. I would recommend this business and will use Tune Time again. read more

Just had a new bluetooth stereo installed in my 12 year old truck by Tune Time. The owner, Michael, was very personable and knowledgeable. I was concerned about the complexity of the job with steering wheel controls and back-up camera, but he made sure he had all the proper kits and harnesses and everything came out great and it looks even better than the original factory stereo. His price was very reasonable considering all the work involved. I highly recommend his expertise! read more

Honesty goes a long way!!! I just bought a new car because my last one was stolen and I was looking to get a car alarm installed. Mike was very honest with me and told me that my car already had a working alarm system and that I didn't need another one. He walked me through how to use it and gave me tips on alternate ways to open my car if the key battery dies... my mind was blown! Most people would take your money and keep it pushing!! I highly recommend this place. read more

Amazing and sincere service. Went in for a replacement (rare) part .. ended up getting the deck pulled out and troubleshooted .. and eventually an alternative part plugged in due to manufacturer fault. Mike made sure I left his shop with tunes. I am amazed. Stopped into 4 places today, and so glad I ended up here. read more

I'm always a little worried when I see a review with so many 5's, but after visiting Mike at Tune Times, I can say that the reviews are absolutely warranted. First off, Mike is great to work with, funny as hell and absolutely knowledgeable about cars and stereos. What I found when I met him is that he had gone through a battle with throat cancer, and that leaves him only able to converse using a throat mic. When I called, I heard this robotic voice speaking to me, but after getting over the initial shock, had a blast with it when he started cracking wise over the phone. My point is this, don't let his voice throw you off. He took his time to make sure he understood my goals with the installation and that what we were doing was going to meet them. He was very careful in the car, explained some of the decisions he was making, and checked multiple times that everything was working as it should. He also wasn't the type to keep you behind a painted line or in the waiting room, but allowed me to stick my nose in to see what was happening to my baby. And best part of all, he was cheaper than other options I had looked at! Best experience ever with a stereo installer and will be returning with another car. read more

Awesome service will be recommending this shop for any stereo needs. Owner is very informative and doesn't try to sell you anything you don't need. Thanks for the work. Sounds great in the RV read more

Took my car in to find out why my system was draining the battery. It ended up being my after market lights weren't shutting off. Mike fixed it for no charge where other stereo places wanted $69 dollars just to look at it. Will definitely be coming back for all my stereo and alarm needs! read more

Mike was a great source fo advice for building my speaker box. We talked about cubic feet, positions, amp type, basically everything you needed down to the carpet. He definitely knows his stuff. I would recommend him for ALL your car audio needs. read more
