DO NOT BUY their alarm camera system Momento M6 what a waste of money. I bought 2 different phones for the app to work and still does not. My car has been severely damaged and the culprits continue to do so knowing I can't see who is doing it. I spent almost $700. Calling Cook County Sheriffs to have a police report made. The sad thing is it is happening in the genera; parking lot where I live in the Northwest Ritzy Suburbs. read more

Easy discussion, and I got a remote start kit and camera add-on that was a great package deal. Install scheduling was easy and quick. The team did a fantastic job and I would go back here first for any other needs with car audio, security, or remote start. read more

Used these guys for Subwoofer wiring. Clean and professional work. Recommended for car audio

Had a great experience here getting CarPlay set up. Cal was great to work with. Will be back for my next electrical needs

Great service. From diagnosis to a very reasonable fix to an older system. Did it in an hour at the appointment time

I had them install my viper model 5906V remote start system back in early 2015. The system is still working, but I lost the two-way LCD display remote. I ordered a new remote on Amazon and could not get it to pair on my own, though I followed the directions in the user manual and Youtube videos. I stopped by Armando Sounds today (11/28/2022) and had them take a look. It took them 2 minutes to pair not only my new replacement LCD display remote (model 7945V), but my backup remote (model 7654v) that lost its pairing. When I asked how much I owed them, they didn't even charge me. Can you believe that? Talk about customer service! I offered to tip them for their trouble they were too humble to take anything. I had to firmly insist on them taking a mere $10 for their trouble and they took it so I can go on my way. I highly recommend these guys. They really are as good as their 5-star Yelp rating and will return to them anytime I need any to purchase, install or repair audio, remote start/security systems, or tints on any of my vehicles. I have found them to be honest, give competitive pricing, do excellent work, and give stellar customer service. read more

See all

The work performed by Armando Sounds was completed on time and looks very professional. I had a new Kenwood head unit with wireless CarPlay installed in my A-B car and it works flawlessly. If I had one complaint I wish it had cost a little less, but as they say you get what you pay for which in this instance is excellent quality and service. read more

This place offer us great service and they did not even charge us. This kind of restores your faith in humanity and you realize these guys are worthy of their 5 star review. We had our battery die out on our Infinty SUV and when we replaced it our Viper Remote Starter would not work. We tried to pair back up but no luck. We called Armando Sounds and they said to stop by - no appt needed as it would only take 10 min. When we arrived a gentleman tried to pair it up but had no luck - he had another gentleman take a look at it and within a couple minutes he had it paired up. When we asked what we owed them(we did not buy starter originally from them) he said nothing - which we thought we should have paid them something for the service. Now I know why they have all the great reviews as they care and go above and beyond. We will definitely be back in the future if we need anything for our cars and will definitely spread the word about their business. read more

Reached out 3 times within 7 days to ask them if they will help with installing multiple dash cams, each time they told me they will get back to be and I needed to follow up 3 different times, but not the 4th time. Not okay at all. read more

Super knowledgeable and no pressure sales. Appreciate the speed at which they could turn around a radio system in our vintage car. Cal was the best. read more

These guys nailed it! Great customer service and explained everything in great detail when I went to pick up my car. I got the drone remote start installed and it is the most amazing thing I've ever seen. Highly recommend it. I wouldn't trust anyone else to install this except these guys. Price is about $520 plus tax but worth every penny. Go to Armando Sounds for your remote start needs! read more

After reading so many good reviews about this place, I went there to have a remote starter put on my car. What an excellent place! Mo was helpful, friendly and professional. He explained the difference in prices was pretty much based on how far I plan to be from the car. He determined that I needed the lower cost one. As a female in an auto place, I usually feel like a rip-off just waiting to happen. But not here. My car was ready on time, he showed me how to use the remote and it works perfectly. I would highly recommend this place! read more

Had an excellent experience with Armando sounds. Installed a sub in my car and tinted the front windows. They advised me to get ceramic overlay to reflect heat and it has made a huge difference. Service was friendly and they got it done fast. I'll likely take my other car to them for window tinting. read more

Absolutely perfect. Professional and helpful. Kind, polite cannot say enough good things about the boys here at Armando Sounds. Thank you to Mo, Mo Jr., and Cal for all of your help. You gentlemen provided a world class experience. read more

Excellent alarm installation in an aged work vehicle. Good followup when we had a hiccup. Overall extremely pleased.

ABOVE AND BEYOND!!! Mo, Kel and crew are very knowledgeable, skilled,great at addressing your needs and problems and as a bonus---very enjoyable. I feel they see customers as a team members. We got car alarms for our two cars 2017. Mo was so helpful. He was very knowledgeable , great customer service, kind and delightful to boot! We chose the alarm he suggested and it has worked very well for our cars. We had an issue with one of the alarms recently. They made time for us right away. Kel assessed the problem and reset the system. Kel was also very warm and helpful. Off we went and no charge! Something further went wrong. They made time for us to go in today! After 2 hours, they had assessed, installed new part (under warranty!) and no charge! If you have a car alarm, audio needs THIS is THE PLACE! You will not be disappointed. read more

This place is severely underrated and a long overdue review. They do amazing work. I buy dash cams for my driving school cars all the time and they always professionally install them. Their price is good and they do amazing work on hiding the cables. Whenever there is a small issue, they always tend to adjust it. Recently I bought a Xtrons radio for my BMW 335i and they installed it flawlessly. I just recently installed a reverse camera and again, they fixed the problem it had. I wouldn't go anywhere else for professional work on radios and electronics to go with your car. read more

Armando Sound is a remarkable business specializing in all things to customize your vehicle. What sets Armando Sound apart is their dedication to personalized service which is amazing. The knowledgeable and friendly staff takes the time to understand each customer's unique needs and preferences. They offer expert advice, guiding customers in selecting the perfect components for their vehicles. I have had three vehicles personalized with alarm systems and automatic starters. One vehicle had few perks so in addition to the alarm system and automatic starter I needed a GPS system. I was so impressed. Along with the GPS system and radio came a new dashboard cover which made the finished product look as if it were manufactory installed. They provide professional installation services. Customers who choose Armando Sound can expect and will receive top quality products. Feel confident when referring Armando Sound to anyone. They strive to build lasting relationships with trust and loyalty in the process. I am a customer for life! Sandra M read more

Did a good job with a car I just bought. Previous owner had messed with factory wiring, but Armando's was able to get wiring right and sound connected. Also installed a subwoofer. They were also pretty quick to set up an appointment. read more

For the past couple years, I've been meaning to find a place that installs back up cameras for our Toyota Camry. Also, our button on our car key to open our trunk was not working for a few years as well. As I was doing some google searching, I landed on Armando Sounds. And I am so glad I did. I called in the day before I went in and they quoted a reasonable rate. They had the exact back up camera I needed in stock. I went there the next day. They not only installed the back up camera to our existing screen (it does not look after factory at all), they figured out our key issue. They were incredibly knowledgeable and efficient! I would DEFINTELY come back again. Thank you guys again! read more

LONG TIME customer! I've taken every car I owned since I was 17 to Armando Sounds and listened to their suggestions on creating a custom sound experience in my vehicle. Their attention to detail during their installation is outstanding! I brought a new 2009 Nissan to Armando Sounds (previous location), purchased a Kenwood Receiver, replaced six factory speakers, and got a powered Rockford Fosgate 10" sub. After 14 years (and only 95K on the odometer), the Kenwood receiver stopped powering on. I took it back to Armando Sounds to replace the receiver, the microphone, and the backup camera for another outstanding deal. Don't take chances; installing the head unit and the accessories yourself (splicing wires together and routing the wires from your car battery to your amp) can be a huge chore. I recommend Armando Sounds for their knowledge, expertise, value, and guaranteed installations within your budget. read more

Amazing job with my windows! They stand behind the work they do. Life of the car warranty. Good quality tint as well as time of process and greeting. The Price is right for the work and the quick response to any questions. Moe was also able to show me other products and feed back on what the car would look best for my likes. read more

Armando Sounds - Car Stereo Installation Near Me - Niles , Illinois

I decided that I​ was really sick of the audio system​ that came with my 2017 RAV 4. The map app was horrible! I went with these guys because​ of great reviews on Yelp. They were worth every star ratting. Mohammed (Moe) the owner and his staff were​ fantastic​!!! He made sure, I didn't​ buy more product then I​ needed, overlooked​ the complete installation​​,and was very patient with me, explaining the features to me after the installation​. It looks clean and beautiful! I should​ have done this a long​ time ago. Car Play is amazing, and the Pioneer unit he recommended​ is a perfect​t fit for us! AfterI ​I​ set up my iPhone with it, I took my wife's​ iPhone​ and set her​ up. Took her to the car and had her plug in her IPhone. She said WOW, and loved it Now, she says it was her idea to upgrade to get "Car Play"! I picked the right place for the installation​! read more

Armando Sounds - Lots of great apps, come with Car Play - Car Stereo Installation Near Me - Niles , Illinois

Great customer service. Mohammed was extremely knowledgeable about my old stereo equipment. Custom installation was done in my 2006 cadillac dts. 2 amplifiers and 1 subwoofer, front and rear separate speakers installed in a stealth installation. I trust them with my vehicle. They made me a customer for life. read more

Had Armando install a Pioneer 8600NEX in my 2017 Outback. It was a tricky job due to some software and wiring bugs but Armando worked with me personally over multiple visits until we had it figured out. Were he not someone who is as dedicated to his work, I would have been totally lost. But he made SURE that everything worked. So attentive, nice, and pleasant to talk to. Spent an hour there one day just chatting. If there were more stars I could give, I would! If you need installs done, Armando is your guy. 1000% recommend!!! read more

So I have a 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL looking for a new Soundsystem. My salesman was Cal. I had a lot of questions and other places I had gone to. I wasn't going to change out my radio and the first thing he said that that's the most important because it has more amps and more power, so I went with a JVC unit and of course I didn't want to load the vehicle up with all the speakers right away I decided to go with the overhead speakers, because as you remove the top sound, probably escapes so I decided to get oversize speakers as he agreed with me. So the system couldn't say how amazing it is. They weren't very pushy about adding everything to my jeep. Of course they said down the road if you like and I agreed with them but the system sounds so amazing and then I met the owner Moe we had some conversations about adding some other things and I said probably later, so as we're sitting in the jeep, the FM sounded horrible he goes oh my God I'm so sorry so apologetic. He ordered something to fix that wasn't the problem at all. He was very frustrated, but wanting to take care of me the customer so as were sitting in the GP googled it, and what he found was I had bought an aftermarket shorter antenna. The problem I had to put on my regular stock antenna. That was the problem. this is why they have yelp pretty much all his reviews were fives that's why they were getting a five you've got a customer for life thank you guys :-). So helpful. read more

I had seen the awesome reviews for this place so they had been my first choice to see if they could help me with some audio/navigation issues I was having with my car. Mohammed came out to my car to check it out. He said he would have to place a couple phone calls and get back to me in a day or two, ok cool. Never heard back in the time range he had given me, so I called him and conveniently he wasn't there at the moment. I left a message and was told he would call me back. Needless to say over a week has passed and nobody ever called. It's fine if you can't help me but at least have the decency to tell me you can't. I wouldn't recommend this place after this experience. read more

I woke up early and came before the owner arrived. I was greeted and he answered all of my questions. He was very helpful and found exactly what I needed for my car. Installed within an hour and I was on my way. I will definitely be going back for different services. You can appreciate honesty and quality workmanship from him and his crew. read more

Got to work with Mohammed and what a delight he is, he trouble shot my dad's van and we were in and out in under 10 min gotta love experience and Mohammed sure has it. Thanks again Armando sounds. read more

I initially thought this place was great, this my 5-Star review. However, their work is extremely poor and rushed. I had a new stereo and back-up camera installed. I have a Jeep Wrangler so I was concerned about water damage. Therefore I requested that all connections be soldered and heat shrinked. I even stated that I would pay extra but they said that they would do it free of charge.... Well they didn't. I came to find out that when hooking up my back-up camera, the technician obviously didn't know what he was doing. The technician spliced in to every wire connected to my rear tailight /brake harness to see which wire would activate the camera (i.e. The brake wire). Instead of just doing a 2 minute search online or reading the manual to see which color wire was for the brakes. Well once he figured it out he loosely taped all the splices into the other wires that he made. Well guess what, moisture got to those connections leaving me without brake lights on that one side. I didn't notice until I was pulled over by the police and given a $100 ticket. You get what you pay for. I tried to save a couple bucks on installation by shopping around and now am stuck with a $100 ticket and will have to bring my car somewhere and pay for it to be repaired. This shop literally ruined my vehicle and flat out lied to me. read more

What a wonderful place! We had an alarm system put into each of our cars in 2017. The products are great. The owner and staff are so knowledgeable, efficient, helpful and kind. We had an issue recently with one alarm draining our battery faster. They were so helpful. Fixed it in one day and still under warranty! So very grateful for such a wonderful business like theirs. read more

These guys know what they're doing. I had my remote starter installed for 2 years now and I have ZERO issues on my 2008 Subaru Legacy. Its also FREE to remove your unit if ever decide to get a new vehicle. But be ready to pay a heafty fee for installation. This is why I'm only giving this a 4 star. If you don't ever plan on removing your unit on your car this is the place to go. But if you plan on switching vehicles, you may want to reconsider other options. read more

Good quality work here and highly recommended Very satisfied with my double din, amp, custom box, tints, wiring clean and tucked in He's done couple set up for me reall good guys here Been coming here since a kid My dad read more

They did install my radio very professional and fast. Highly recommend. I'm going to use them again

This place is racist and they will Rip you off your money I had my stereo system speakers and amplifier installed I paid $2700 for the whole system they overcharged to install the system and my high speakers were always blowing out they sell your garbage for the most of the money they can get to rip you out off your money read more

These guys are awesome. During the process of a complicated install they were doing for me (on equipment that I brought to them), they figured out that the specifications outlined by the manufacturer were wrong. Instead of stopping there and telling me I was on my own, after multiple calls w/the manufacturer they figured out a workaround themselves using some additional parts that they they didn't even charge me for. While I was waiting, I also had the opportunity to observe how they treated other customers, and it was with nothing but respect and understanding... even in one case where a walk-in off the street was in the middle of some sort of mental episode and was not making any sense. Highly recommend. read more

Got the basic remote starter installed yesterday, and so far so good. I didn't shop around--I was looking for someone who could put it in that day--so I don't know if they are the cheapest, but I'll tell you this: I am glad I spent my money there. Not only are they friendly, helpful at explaining the different options, and a local business, but they also seem like really good guys. While I was in there, a woman came in a little panicked because she had a job interview in half an hour and her car was snowed in. She was just looking for some help. He told her no problem, he'd send his guys out and she could wait in the store. It had nothing to do with car starters or installation, but, for me, it was an excellent judge of character, which gave me faith in their work. Again, I'm happy to have spent my money there, and I'm glad to have them as neighbors. read more

I grew up a few blocks away from Armando Sounds and this place is consistently busy every time I pass by. This means something. I purchased a new car and wanted to have a remote starter feature in light of the polar vortex predicted in 2020. I was met by Kal, who immediately showed me my options in the most patient of ways. He explained all of the features of each system he had (and he had many), and instead of "up selling" the most expensive system, he suggested that I choose one that was reasonably priced and yet met all of my needs. Their reputation is rock solid, and I'm not talking just on Yelp... as they come very highly recommended just from word of mouth. Thanks again to Kal and Mo for their work and for yet another satisfied customer! read more

My car had a alarm problem that caused the car not to start. I took it to numerous repair shops and other car alarm shops. No one was able to address the problem. I took it by chance to Armando sounds and they looked at my car that same day. Armando sounds Mohammed figured out the issue with my alarms within minutes. He also programmed my new remotes. I recommend Armando sounds over any other alarm/ sounds place around. The are the best of the best!! There new location Sep 12 will be 7320 N Milwaukee Niles. This place is definitely the to go place!!! read more
