First they tried to sell me a discontinued infinity subwoofer that they wouldn't warranty. Really ? Then Was charged outrageous prices for an amp and subwoofer , then waited in line for 3 hours to get a first come first serve install only to be told it was too big a project and would need to be started Friday and picked up Sunday. So another day off work and hope they feel like doing it that day. Asked for a refund was told no and that they didnt have the JBL amp I originally purchased so was substituted for a infinity amp they had. Was told by employee he uses same amp in his car. Lies and deciet is all youll get here. Go anywhere but here. read more

So I have taken my car to 3 different shops and I finally found one that cares. James and Darian both were trying to troubleshoot my amp problem and after two days of messing with it and talking to tech support they figured it out. It definitely pays to buy a warranty and have the pros do the install. I will definitely be coming back due to their excellent customer service and willingness to help me. Thanks again for all your help. read more

The sales people here talk about how great their products are and they stand behind it. I bought a deck here and spent about $700. Three weeks after the install The screen would shut off and then come back on like it reset itself. After a few times it just never came back on. When I took it down to the bell rd location where I bought it from the installer looked at it and said it's getting power and doesn't know why it won't come on. When I went back into the store the guys up front told me James the DM said there was water damage and there's nothing they could do. There was no water or any sort of liquid near my stereo at anytime. I told the guys up front I want to speak with James/GM but they said he's in his office and is busy. I told them again to get him out here, they said he won't, he's busy. This coward James who is supposedly the District Manager for all the locations couldn't even come to the counter to try and resolve the issue, which is your job! Instead has sales guys do his dirty work for him. James this message is for you since you have to hide in your office when problems occur ! You're a coward and obviously a feckless leader!! Your water damage clam is a BS way of not having to do the right thing and replacing an obviously faulty product. I'm sure conducting business like you do assures you get your bonus every quarter. I wouldn't buy anything from this place, they don't care about the customer. I will never be back to any of your locations and will be sure to let other people I know to stay away as well. read more

Bought a new 2019 Honda but was not happy with the audio quality. I looked at a few places prior to audio express that was just a waste of time. Initially I thought I needed new speakers but with the quality of new speakers in new cars these days, I was informed that I probably just needed a sub woofer. Seeing as I was looking for a more full music experience and bass that you could feel I figured they were correct. Decided to go with a 12" on Monday night, dropped the car off Tuesday at 9am and by 12pm they were done. The sub that was recommended was exactly what I was looking for. Zero sign of after market work and everything looks and sounds seem less. Will definitely recommend and will definitely be back when I am ready to add more improvements to my sound system. read more

Horrible service all they want is your money. I'm having problems with my power amp, Lexus uses fiber optics they wanted to rewire and install whole new system 3-4 thousand dollars they said, the tech didn't even want to diagnose the problem or service the amp. Went down to Best Buy they said no problem they will diagnose and fix the issue even if its fiber optics. Never doing business with audio express. Loving Best Buy. read more

Took our new crv to audio express and had them put in a amp and sub. Talked to the salesman and requested that the amp be put under the seat. We'll after the installation was done the amp was mounted on the back off the rear back seats. We where upset and the manager came out and gave us every excuse why it needs to be mounted back there but came up with a solution to make us happy... took the car back again for the solution .... Time to pick up the car. The solution was not done because it would make the amp and stick out to far instead they remounted the amp in a different spot on the seat . So now we have holes where the original screws where and it look like crap. I thought they where professionals but I guess not. Now we have a new car that's butchered. They definitely need some training in communication and doing what the customer asks. read more

Given the fair opportunity in with a good management staff audio express was able to pull an unhappy customer into a very satisfied customer. Appreciated the extra effort to make this right thank you read more

Maybe try a different location. These guys have horrible service. Three people here and none of them know anything. I had a viper issue. Instead of helping with my current alarm, guy try's selling me new alarm. I need a new antenna. ($50). Not a new alarm. ($699). And they are so sloooooooowwwwwwwww read more

Purchased an Amplifier and Sub woofer. I installed the system. I brought it back to Audio Express to connect to the correct wire harness.. Very little sound came from the system. I found today that they connected to the wrong wires. I paid them to connect it correctly and just got a run around about it. No refund! Sloppy service read more

STAY AWAY FROM THIS LOCATION !!!! Matt is very rude and they are all crooks . I spent $600 in there store on what JOSE said was was quality amp and subwoofer and was comparable to Rockford (what I wanted but they didn't sell) it sounds like cheap shit for the $$ spent and I actually wanted to go and spend even more money there on tv' head rests and a back up camera . GTFO I'll be taking my Buisness somewhere else . BUYER BEWARE they tell u that they have a 30 day return policy , but in matts own words they don't do returns and have no return policy . Even if your items are uninstalled . Store credit only or you pay 20% none of this by the way is on their website . #stuckwithashitsystem Another note = I had previously returned an 800 watt amp and sub to Best Buy and taken my Buisness to Audio express , where my stupid ass was actually under the impression that this guy JOSE was a decent guy and knew what he was doing , after the fact (ok I'm a dumb chick I know ) I realized this guy put a 300 watt amp in my car to push a 500 way jl 12" WTF . Lol . I should have read the Yelp reviews . I told Matt that his Yelp reviews sucked and his response was yup , I'll see you when you return your mercy . They also talked shit about how smelly a worker there named Shawn was and how he always stinks up the toilets like someone died and doesn't shower . read more

I came in for a full quote for installation of dash kit and receiver and everything else included. The quote was given before the installation and I paid before dropping off the car. I later get a call to change me more for installing steering wheel controls and antenna which was mentioned at the time of requesting the quote. Please stay away from the place as hidden fee will be added. read more

I traded my car to an high end car with high end stereo. However, I was not completely happy with the sound quality. Took back to the store. Ryker, the manager, listened carefully my concern and immediately summoned Chris, the tech, to share and listen to my complain. They took their time to research what I needed to improve the sound quality which was a kind of hard task because is one of those high end German car. They came out with a solution and after installing the necessary equipment, my sound system is PERFECT! I inspected at home the quality of how Chris wired the system and I can tell that was extremely professional! Once again, they don't disappoint! read more

I brought my vehicle in to have stereo replaced. An hour and a half to get a kit, promised installation would only take a few hours, well I was there for six. Well with all that.... the stereo sticks out of my dash, wrong kit, can't use blue tooth as it's distorted and no one can hear me. The stereo is crooked and I specifically asked for a stereo that has the ac/heat controls on the touch screen of the radio and yet that wasn't what I got. I have to now reach behind the stereo to work my ac/heat!!!! I thought these where pros.... asking me they're nothing but amateurs!!!! read more

I call this place "Idiot Express - Home of the $1 wire fire". This place is HORRIBLE.. not even just this location, all their locations! First off.. there is no such thing as a $1 install. If you purchase the receiver yourself it's $30 less than if they install it for you. Ummm... that's not a $1 install. Perhaps I'm missing something and it's only on selected merchandise but it's still misleading and crooked. Secondly they will way over charge you for a car kit. They wanted to charge me $32 for a car kit that retails for $11. I imagine wholesale is a lot cheaper. They never have what they advertise in stock so it's always a bait and switch and if all the stars align and the world comes together for you... you will still have to wait the whole day for an install (unless you show up before they open the store) or have to reschedule for another day. Horrible customer service! They don't care for your business.. they obviously don't need your business because if they did they wouldn't treat customers so horribly. Never had a good experience and I've given them every opportunity over the years. read more

Long time customer but probably not anymore. Came in Friday and bought a car alarm system, asked for appointment and told the earliest installation would be tomorrow (Saturday) at 9:00 am and to get here early it's "first come first served". Showed up at 8:30 AM, 3rd in line.....Checked in and asked how long to complete since I would be waiting around. The sales guy said "about 2 hrs or so". They said this exact quote to others dropping off cars too. At 1 hr the guy who sold the unit to me said he was working to get me back asap. My truck had not moved. He said, they had a couple cars held over night that needed finished first, so much for checking in early and staying. After 1 hr. 20 mins. a truck that was not there before me was taken back and work started. I know I went back to see the bays and who was being worked on. At 1 hr and 30 mins. the first person's vehicle was completed and they were done. No one in a hurry to get mine started. At 1 hr 45 mins I finally asked how much longer, told the sales guy about the other truck going ahead of me and when will my truck be going in? I mentioned the guy at check in saying it would take "about 2 hrs or so". He then said, "that's how long until we would begin". I said no, I specifically asked at check in how long it would take to complete and was told "about 2 hrs or so", not that it would just begin. He said he would check on it. About 5 mins. later and 2-3 trips from the back to the paperwork he came over and told me he'd "get it going in about 25 mins". I told him I'll take the refund and cancel...I have had 4-5 alarms installed in the last 20 years and I will not be doing business here again. May sound like I'm a little impatient but I had other stuff to do and in sales/service you need to manage customer expectations better. I didn't have a ride to leave my truck there all day, I had other things to do. They were not getting started on my truck for almost 2 hrs 15 mins IF he could get in in with the 25 mins he quoted. So I insisted on a refund on principle. Another guy tried to tell me the reasons for the delays and I just told him it didn't matter I just wanted the refund. Without appointments it's a free for all and you better be prepared to drop and leave your vehicle for 1/2 day or more to get work done. read more

I went to this location back in November 2016...I think the last time I used Audio Express was in 1998! Anyway, I went to have a new stereo installed in my van. I was very pleased -- I can't remember who helped me, but they assisted me in picking out a very reasonably priced stereo and installed it immediately -- I think I was only there for less than 2 hours. I've been thrilled with the stereo! So, I returned to them in May 2017 to have an alarm installed on a new van. This was a much longer process (due to the type of van I have) than I expected and required me to return to have it completed. I then realized that I really should have gone with the auto-start option as well....when I explained this to James (the manager), he offered to upgrade the system for me when I returned from my trip for just the additional cost of the difference in systems. They also added an additional power outlet for me when I mentioned that would be helpful! Of course, I proceeded to blow the fuse on that power outlet within just a day or so by using a low quality inverter -- when I called James back to let him know, he had me bring it right down and the guys fixed it for me immediately at no charge. I was very pleased with the above and beyond customer service from James, Josh, and the other technician (I'm sorry, I didn't get his name) and plan to return to them for any future stereo or alarm needs!! read more

Ty Abel was very helpful and told us exactly what was needed for what we were looking for. He gave us an estimate, took the time to look at our car and hear our car providing us with the best recommendation before charging us. Their service was friendly, professional and they wanted to make sure we left satisfied with their work! Will did an amazing job inspecting and working on our car! Thank you guys for the amazing work! We really appreciate it and appreciate the personalized service! read more

I was sold an alarm system and told to come next day for install, I made arrangements to have family drop the vehicle off before open and was told might not get done today. I feel like after they get your purchase they don't care about service anymore. I tried to give them a chance after so many recent bad yelp reviews and needless to say I should've listened to those reviews. I will be now looking for a new audio store entirely due to one salesperson. read more

This review is a little late but better late then never. Christmas 2015....my wife got me a new car radio with speakers from Audio Express. Audio Express did the install and I was happy! Fast forward to this past Christmas/holiday season. My new speakers did not sound the way new speakers should sound like. So I went in and they (Audio Express) checked them. It turns the two front speakers are blow out and the back two are on the verge of blowing out as well. My wife did not get a warranty & I get it......but how do you not guarantee the quality of your products for at least a year? The guys there were nice (which is the only reason why this is not a 1 star review) but in the end said they can't do anything for me. Really???? Come on Audio Express, this was a Christmas gift from my lovely wife. Speakers don't go bad in less than a year!! read more

Bought my wife a new 2014 SUV, wanted to get a remote start system set up. Called this place EARLY in the am on a weekday, they didn't have time to talk numbers or systems and took my number and name to call back. 2 days and still waiting on that call....thanks Best Buy for same day service & install! **Edit** Gave them a second chance and got new speakers for my Jeep. Went the cost effective route and was comparable with other places but at the time I wanted. Much better then my prior experience....Highly suggest going in person instead of calling. read more

A disappointing visit. They have very small stock, high prices, and the employees really don't know the products. Some of the demo units couldn't really be tried out because they hadn't wired up the parking brake lockout, or didn't have the USB connector available. They couldn't really answer my questions, and instead chatted about meaningless stuff. They recommended things I told them weren't going to meet my needs. read more

I have to say that this Audio Express saved me all kinds of heartache and absolutely made my day. About a month ago, I purchased a Pioneer Navigation unit which got very good reviews on several different websites. After a month of use, I was completely dumbfounded on how this unit got the reviews it did. I absolutely HATED the unit. (Enough of the unit, this is a review for Audio Express :) ) I was so upset I thought about selling my vehicle just to get it out of my sight. After the last straw was pulled on this navigation unit I called Audio Express to ask how much it would cost to put the factory radio back in my car. The salesman told me that because I purchased it from them and had it installed by them, they would do it at no charge; and even better, they would upgrade me to a different navigation unit if I chose and all I would need to pay for would be the difference in the cost of units! I was thrilled! Not only did I get rid of the old Pioneer unit I hated, I got a new and better Kenwood unit for a very little difference in cost! The sales people were great both times I went in there. I would highly recommend. The only thing bad I can say about this location is that both times I went in for the install, they took a bit longer then originally quoted. I suggest they try to under promise and over deliver. This way people aren't standing around frustrated waiting past the estimated completion time and are surprised at how fast the install for their hardware went. To me, this one negative does not constitute a lower star rating. Thank you again Audio Express! (And no, I am not an employee :P ) read more

Amazing store !! Awesome installers and the crew of sales people are so knowledgable they truly care about customers !!! The management team is so involved and you can see that !!! Thanks for making my experience the best ever I will be back !! read more

Went on with my wife's old (but good) Toyota just for a cheapy AM FM CD player. Decided on a $149 JVC unit. I get a call 2 hours later that a "special" wiring harness was needed ($130). So now I'm up to $280. When I go to pick the car up, there's an additional charge for extra parts in the amount of $50! Forked over the cash but will NEVER do business there again. Buyer beware of this unethical store! read more

THEY WILL SCREW YOU OVER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!First they told me one price over the phone $90-110 okay no problem then it come out over $125 okay fine then they say it first come first serve okay no problem I get there @9am. And we go over the price and it will be done by 3pm. We get back 3pm they have not even started okay. Fine they DID NOT CALL TO TELL ME !!!!! I think that's poor and my time is the most valuable thing to me and everyone if they contact me and fix this I will remover this post 6-20-2018 read more

My pet dog could have better installed our stereo- and DEFINITELY would have been friendlier. When we got the vehicle there was a dent in the door and scratches on the dash. They denied fault and claimed damage existed. We were totally powerless to prove that they in fact damaged our vehicle. The manager said he would review the shop video camera tapes, but we have yet to hear back from him on this. One speaker wire was routed in front of the parking break pedal which prevented us from using the parking brake. The back-up camera lights were mis-wired which made it so the reverse lights would not turn off. They also left trash (plastic shavings and wire clippings) all over the inside of our vehicle. Then after all that, we got the vehicle and started our long planned 2-month road trip. After 2 hours into a 4,000 mile road trip the radio stopped working all together. We were on a two month road trip - so not only did we no longer have a radio, but they told us that if we didn't being it in in 30 days the warranty would expire and they wouldn't fix it- even though it only worked for 2 hours and we called them right away!!! We have left 7 messages for the regional manager and we have yet to hear from him. This is a totally incompetent organization. read more

Michael and Dylan will get you right, I have a 2019 Honda Accord and it's amazing how much subwoofers and an amp could make a difference on the sound, I'm loving it and I am going to recommend everyone to Audio Express for the car audio needs!! Will be back later lol read more

Took my Tahoe in as the new stereo was not working had no idea why and was a bit worried about what it would cost to get it fix as I had no idea about this. James was just great explained everything to me best and worst case scenarios and bam fixed it for $125. Don't go anywhere else but this place dealers will take advantage of you! James was like talking to an old friend and he is honest and just a fun guy to talk with. I forget the guy's name who worked on my truck but he was great also I could see myself going out and drinking a beer with these guys and shooting the shinola.....just a wonderful experience. read more

The Assistant Manager is extremely helpful and has gone out of his way to assist me with my Porsche's audio system.

Horrible. They cracked my dash in several places while trying to do a stereo install, called me and told me they cracked my dash and that they were not going to pay to replace it. I had to hassle the manager who was allegedly talking to corporate just to get a simple refund. They never did pay for the damages to my car and didn't even end up installing the stereo. Then when I went back to get my refund one of the managers (I think it was a manager) was this middle aged dude with a beard was staring at me and was very unprofessional and ultra creepy and awkward when all I had come for was to get my money back. I will not be coming back to this establishment. read more

I never wrote a review of any business until now. Prior to going to Audio Express, I was taken for a ride by a Mobile installer. I explained my dilemma to Ty and we began a rollercoaster ride that was more pleasurable and professionally accommodating than any I have experienced. Everytime I turned around something would happen, the head unit has no camera cable, the head unit has no sound, it's too big, etc. But with every bad situation, Ty was there with a more than helpful solution. My truck spent the majority of the day at Audio Express, but it was well worth it for the customer service, the accomodating results, and going the extra forty miles to another store for parts close to closing. There is much more to this, this was my second visit to the store. It was a great experience. read more

Ryker is the best, very Professional and knows his stuff!!! my Beats come from audio express period...!!!!!!

just stay away from this place. i promise you they crooks as f***ck paid for a lc2 converter which they never installed and along with 1,000+ dollar audio system, refused to give me back my money and even refused to show me where it is located at. and let me remind you, lc2 converter is PRETTY BIG and i still cant find it paid almost 200 for it and installation fee STAY AWAY **** and if you dont listen, make sure you inspect everything BEFORE YOU DRIVE IT OFF. oh yeah they even forgot to put on the plastic guard under my blower motor and claimed they never took it off because they did not do anything around it lol when i could see the power line running through it on the side. save yourself some money and headache and go get your stuff install somewhere else. DO NOT COME HERE. read more

I bought a system from here back in November and was very satisfied with the work done. I recently cleaned my truck and unplugged my sub and when I plugged it back in, I did it incorrectly and blew my amp. The warranty I bought only covered manufacturer errors so I was not covered and would have had to buy a new amp; However, James the store manager was able to work around this and replaced my amp free of charge. I will for sure continue to come here for any car audio needs. read more

Went in on Thursday and purchased a remote start, new stereo and a back up camera. The salesman asked when I wanted it installed and I said how does day work and he said sure. He made me an appointment for 9am on sat. Went in on sat and they tell me they don't do appointments so the would get to my truck when they get to it. Dropped my truck off sat at 9am they are telling me it MIGHT be done Sunday at 5pm read more

No appointments. Not sure why. Was told to show up when they opened at 9am to get one of their 6 service slots. Was there at 8:45, and there was already 20 people in line. Needless to say, but I left disappointed since I drove 35 miles. Their service process could use a significant overhaul. read more
