Alan always goes the extra mile to make sure you're sound experience is everything you expected! Often recommending not the most expensive equipment but the one that meets every customers unique style of music. Jose is one the most knowledgeable technicians I've had the pleasure of working on my vehicles. I would have no hesitation in recommending the Audio Shoppe to anyone looking for quality work. read more

This place is top tier. I had Alan, the owner install a completely custom stereo style in my 55 Bel Air and it is STELLAR! This included hiding my 6x9 speakers, incorporating kick panel speakers that match the kick panel color that he wrapped, and a completely Bluetooth unit with a sub woofer located in the trunk just behind the seat. Everything custom made. If you want the best equipment, second-to-none installations, and a real professional owner, this is the place to go! read more

The 5 star reviews are fake!!!! Couldn't be more disappointed!!! The shops owner is a (words I can't say here). They refuse service to me for a simple amp and sub install simply because they thought I couldn't afford it. Didn't even give me a price. Their jobs are not good quality at all it's just basic wiring. Set up shop in Beverly Hills if you're going to disrespect your customers over a price. Don't come here they will just tax you I promise!!!! read more

Tried 3 audio places in riverside before I came to Allen. Wouldn't go back to anyone but Allen and Jose. Good straight to the point people is what I appreciated most. No cutting around the bush, no BS like the rest of the Riverside audio swapmeet shops I went to before. The real deal, will come again for whatever audio needs. thanks Audio Shoppe. read more

Owner was rude when I called. Didn't even sound like I called a business honestly. Sounded like his cell phone. I'd stay away and try Pacific Audio. read more

Hello there to everyone. I am here to write a review on this location and specifically for the owner. I had my car at a shop next door (being fixed/restored) and I went to go ask this man about a system. I advised him of what I wanted and he advised that he is almost a documented genius and did not listen to me on the brands that I wanted. Anyways, what he did to me was awful. He promised me the stars and the moon and stated do to others as you would others to do to you over and over and stated that he was going to be the easiest to work with. Long story short, he changed my order and stated that the car called for it and refused to refund me the difference. I called him out on that and refused and got upset and started calling me names (used profanity). I told Alan that it was only fair since my bill was $6,300 plus tax and states he only takes cash. He then refused to let my car go unless his bill was paid in full and did not even finish my center console which was part of the bill. This man is evil and like everyone knows and says that Karma is a bitc*. This guy will get his with authorities and he is getting older and he will get his with a crazy customer because I know he does this and not only to me. Stay away and look at the messages he sent me and I told him to not offend me. If he did something to you report him as this will be the only way of doing business. This guy is either his way or the highway even when he is in the wrong. read more

The Audio Shoppe was the perfect place to help with a "nitch" stereo install on my '74 Corvette. I wanted something modern and high powered, car stereo wise, but something that wouldn't attract attention to someone passing by and glancing in my car window for a quick smash and grab. A long time ago, I had an expensive radio ripped out of my dash, causing not only the expense of the lost car stereo, but also for extensive dash repair. I also wanted to keep the original look of my Stingray center console. Alan had the perfect suggestion! I ended up getting a "stock" looking radio that looked completely factory... UNTIL the unit powered on. And then it became a modern digital high powered car stereo. Super cool! It totally looks like the (worthless) factory radio when the car's just parked there! Even the front and rear speaker systems aren't visible from the window view, super "stealth"! The quality of labor and attention to detail on my "factory" radio couldn't be beat. And I felt the labor price was more than fair. The shop seemed to be packed with custom show cars and the displays in the lobby gave you examples of how "high end" you can go with your car stereo. Care about your car and it's audio system? Then this is the place to go! read more

Audio Shoppe - Here's my '74. I'll try to get a pic of the "stock" / "stealth" stereo Alan installed up soon! - Car Stereo Installation Near Me - Riverside, California

A few days ago I called Alan the owner and got a quote for a car alarm for my old Ford van and a new AM/FM/CD player. He called me back and said he had time on Saturday to do the install. The alarm went in perfect but there was a problem with the vans dash wiring harness going to the new Pioneer stereo that another shop installed poorly several years ago. It took them more time to diagnose the issue and his tech had it working great in no time. It's nice when a business takes the time to correct a problem at no extra charge even though it was not something they caused. I couldn't be happier with the friendly experienced and qualified work done on my van. Even my cell phone comes through the radio for hands free phone calls and to top it off, the total price was less than quoted. read more

I just had a Kenwood Stereo and some speakers installed. The workmanship was better than expected. The system sounds great. They also cleaned and vacuumed, which I didn't expect at all. Great work guys! If you want high quality work and knowledgeable people helping you, check out Audio Shoppe. read more

Audio Shoppe - Car Stereo Installation Near Me - Riverside, California

Alan, owner and Audio Shoppe was recommended to me by my mechanic. I called up because I was looking to make a newly purchased Honda CR-V less noisy. The road and engine noise were very bothersome to me. Alan explained the process and what they could do to help. He even explained and described the specific material that was needed. I had already purchased something from Amazon and he thought that could be used and did not have a problem with me providing the materials. Fortunately, I purchased the right stuff . Scheduling to get the job completed was easy and Alan was kind enough to come in a little early so I could get to work on time. Alan and team went above and beyond in meeting my expectations! The car is much quieter and much more pleasant to ride in! Thanks Alan...tell Jack I said "Hi" read more

I came in recently to get my car stereo and steering wheel control adapter installed. I called about a month ago and they quoted me $120. I called before I went and they said that $120 would be an estimate without looking at the car (which they didn't tell me when I first called), but that I should come in to get an exact estimate. I went and the guys were very nice and told me to make myself at home. However, I felt like the owner was trying to squeeze money out of me. First of all, when I arrived, one of them had to do research on my vehicle to see what needed to be done. I had all the parts needed to do the installation (stereo, double din kit, and steering wheel adapter). They said that because my car was a specific model, it would be a very difficult job and they would have to charge me more than $120. At first, I was okay about that, but then the other guy told me it would be at LEAST $325. That is ridiculous. I've called about 5 different places and its always ranging between the $120-200 range, no matter how difficult the job may be. For christ's sake, they are a car stereo installation place. I can remove the center console/ac vent/radio by myself (this is why they said it would be a difficult job) within 30 minutes, but I just don't know how to install the actual stereo and program everything, which is why I went to them for help. I told them that I would look at other places such as Best Buy, and the guy said, "Getting Best Buy to get your stereo installed is like asking McDonalds to make a filet mignon". Within that same hour, I went to another place that I called a month ago as well. I went to Pacific Stereo, which quoted me $150 when I first called. They said they could do it for me and they would honor the price that they told me. Within two hours, they were able to install it perfectly fine. Everything works absolutely fine and my new stereo sits flush within my car. $150 compared to $325+ is a huge difference, and they were able to do the SAME job. They had no complaints and even asked me when I called if I had the double din kit ready. They were well prepared and knew what to do. I can't say the same for Audio Shoppe, however. read more

I am looking for a top quality alarm system and this business has them, they were recommended by several friends and after a tour of the shop I'm impressed. Yelp has them listed as a glass shop and detail shop which is Yelps error as they do neither, they specialize in stereos and alarms, good quality products and custom installation, good work ain't cheap and cheap work ain't good, so keep that in mind. read more

I met Alan, and the guys from Audio Shoppe, through happenstance. I was first drawn to Audio Shops shop truck in an Albertson's parking lot. I was drawn to the custom a-pillar work visible through the windshield. A few weeks later I spotted the truck parked in front of Audio Shoppe...The rest, they say, is history. I went in and met Alan, Jack (the dog), Matt, and the rest of the crew. I had them quote me out on a SQ setup in my F150. I ended up listening to Alan's advise and couldn't be happier. I enjoyed the Kenwood/Arc Audio/DLS/Memphis system they put in for several years. The system is now being enjoyed by the new owner that bought my truck. This isn't your corner alarm/rims/stereo shop. This is the place to visit if you want to increase your satisfaction in the current ride you own with some guidance from professionals in the industry. Have them quote the good/better/best and work with them on what makes sense for you...I guarantee you won't be disappointed. Cheers, Andy read more

I grew up with an audiophile for a parent, needless to say I know the difference when it comes to quality sound. The difference between the audio shoppe and the other guy is the craftsmanship and precision work done in your vehicle. I have had many systems put in my cars but none have ever been of this caliber !!! If you're looking to get a "cheap deal" this is not the place for you, but if you want the best sounding quality system you can buy this is where you get it done. I can play anything from Pink Floyd, Throwdown, The Eagles, Sublime, J. Cole, Ice Cube you name it and this system can handle it to max levels without a single tinge of distorted sound. Get your system here... Trust me you won't regret it. Thanks everyone at The Audio Shoppe ! read more

They have done two trucks and a boat for me and they all sounded amazing ! Alan and team please keep up the good work you guys are the best in the business hands down!!! read more

The guy only except's some jobs. So if it's to technical for him he won't do it. On another note he was very polite but gave me that stare when I walked in like "What are you doing here". So I'll just take my business elsewhere read more

Audio Shoppe is amazing! For years my wife complained about her old stereo in her car and how it randomly made high pitched squeals causing her to drive erratically. I decided to get her a new stereo for her birthday and she said it was one of the best gifts I ever got her. Thank you Audio Shoppe for making my wife (and m) very happy. I highly recommend them! read more

What a horrible experience! It took me 38 months to do a frame-off complete rebuild on my El Camino. Alan charged me $1000 JUST FOR INSTALLATION, and the only components he needed to wire were the amp, 2 speakers (plus subwoofer), and a bluetooth receiver. No head unit or I-Pod wiring. The job was incomplete, the quality of install was far below what an amateur would do (I'd be happy to post pictures of the mess I spent two hours redoing), and his excuses were innumerable. The overlap on the carpet was backwards when he got done, the power wires not connected, the kick panels not installed, the seat hit the amp wiring when I reinstalled it, a screw was misplaced and bending the circuit board for subcontrol knob, and he'd bundled up, wrapped with electrical tape, and stuffed under the back carpet a pile of wire. And he had the gall to tell me what an amazing deal I got...that he typically would have charged $3000 for the installation alone. Beware! read more

these guys are awesome, they are professional and friendly. They have great costumer service and work ethic, no doubt they will get the work done and get it done right the first time! read more
