Jeff at the counter was easy to chat with. I did't get to really talk with anyone else. They installed my front and rear cameras. I dropped the car off-at noon and pocked it up at five. All works great. read more

Jeff is the guy. He'll tell you straight up and help you understand the whole situation. Super honest, fast and quality work for a good price $. Sound too good to be true? Check them out for yourself! I did and was more than pleased BTW, I had an off brand front/rear dash cam installed and there wasn't a single issue with my system. read more

If you're looking for OG guys that know the industry and will give you valid information, plus high quality work, go there. Jeff Johnson has been in the industry for a long time and is a straight shooter. He's an all around great person that is very fare. They'll work with you and find what will work the best for your budget, not what pays them the most. They truly want you to have the best for your budget, ​​they're all audio files that want you have good sound. I prefer these smaller shops because it's more personable, like They'll know your name after a couple visit, and help you get your car where you want it to be, in stages. Great guys, great communication, fare pricing, KNOWLEDGEABLE (thats a big one). It's nice getting info from an experienced adult, than a kid that thinks he knows everything about everything. Get honest input, and work that you can trust is done right, and safely.​​ read more

Had my sound system installed here back in high school they've always took good care of me w/ competitive prices.

Very helpful Good service Easy to make an appointment Reasonable Very friendly staff Went in to get my stereo updated from iPhone to android compatible and they did a good job. read more

My experience with this store is of course how I personally feel. However, they could have over sold me on a stereo that was not suitable to my needs. I came here to find a stereo for my best friends vehicle as a Christmas gift. I went in. Told them my budget. And was able to sell me the perfect stereo and installation was schedule closely after my purchase. The install was exactly how they explained it. And they gave me basic instructions on working it. If I ever need another stereo, I'll be sure to come here first. read more

These folks RULE! Got me in same day and out within an hour, for a very reasonable price. Just a really nice group of people and am so happy with my stereo upgrade. Would easily recommend to anyone looking for audio work! read more

I am absolutely in LOVE with how my car sounds! It's amazing!! Super clear and the bass hits so hard! Fair price and Keven and Nate were super friendly and knowledgeable! They got me in the same day and finished in a few hours! Highly recommend! read more

Super nice guys. Needed to get a good alarm/remote start system installed. I prefer to support locally owned businesses. This is one of the good ones. Highly recommend. One of the guys recommended a window tint place, another small business, they also did a great job. Small locally owned business networking is the best! read more

The people here are wonderful. My sub quit working in my car so I took it in for an evaluation. Learned I fried my amp. Bought a new system and they took the time to install it the same day. Extremely helpful staff. I learned more in the time I was there about my system then I have in the several years I've had it. Greatly appreciated and will continue to ​go back for whatever else I need or want. read more

So I went out and shopped all the car audio shops locally in Vancouver & Portland. Spoke to several people. Explained what I wanted and my budget. Most shops were pushy. Or just wanted me to finance a more expensive option. Which I didn't want to do. These guys took the time to look at what I currently had. Then put together a package that would best meet what I was looking for in my budget. Explained their thoughts on why and asked appropriate questions to see to it I was getting something I'd be happy with. Installation went great and it sounds better than I expected. That being said... when I'm ready to upgrade. I'm not shopping any place else. This will be my only stop. read more

Amazing people. The place is small and always business. Brain Johnson was really professional and helpful. I would definitely recommend they're service. Thank you Audio Source for your service. read more

Keven and the crew at Audio Source are amazing. Purchased three remote starts for Christmas presents. We had to coordinate three different cars in for install (with one car that lives in Seattle). All of the team were pleasant and patient with our inexperience and lack of knowledge regarding automobile add-ons. Please go see the guys!!! Thanks again to the team read more

Love this place. Only 4 stars simply because they don't follow up when they say they're going to. My son and I have been there a couple times and had work done. They are very nice and honest about prices and ability to do the job. Each time they say the job will take XX hours, we'll call you when it's ready but they never do. We end up calling and being told oh yeah it's ready. That's the only downfall. Excellent shop and will return. Will just know to follow up on my own. :) read more

This place has amazing customer service, some of the best I've ever experienced. I've spend thousands here on new sounds systems for my cars and every time was great. They made me feel like a valued customer and the guy I was talking with walked me through everything and showed me what was best for my car without it feeling like they were upselling me. Their installation was fast only taking a day and they gave me quality parts. When I recently had an issue with my subs they were able to look at them fast and fixed the issue for free. Will definitely be back in the future. read more

This was the first splurge I'd done for myself in quite a while!! Top of the line service from everyone involved! Definitely explained my options in ways I could understand and make vital decisions from the perspective of what I envisioned it would sound like. Went back for the subwoofer the next day!!! My 2004 Infiniti G35 is bump-ING and oh how I love it! Thanks Audio Source! We'll bring in the Jeep for a quote next! read more

I had a bad experience with a different car stereo shop so thought I would give these guys a try. Very great customer service- I was really impressed. Did an awesome job with the install more importantly. I had some problems with one of the door speakers later on. It was either a bad speaker or not enough battery power for the system. They tried different things and eventually were able to fix it. Not a problem they created but they were still willing to problem solve it. Car sounds great and I would definitely recommend! read more

AUDIO SOURCE IN VANCOUVER, WASHINGTON off Highway 99. TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE!!! TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!*****I took my vehicle in for an intoxalock install at AUDIO SOURCE Vancouver off highway 99, TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE!!!the thing messed up my car and left me stranded in the middle of a busy roa while my child was with me. Either the terrible install or overall faulty system they installed almost got us killed, then when I called the customer service to get the car towed with the towing service they provide as part of install package, the company said they didn't have any record of it. I spent 3 and a half hours stuck in the middle of the road , i couldnt even put my car in neutral to push it off road, or roll widow up I was on the phone dealing with this for hours. Then to make matters worse when I towed it in to have them fix there shitty install, the customer service was absolutely terrible. They said I would have to leave my car in the ally way behind building over night with my window stuck down. Not to mention the fact I had to miss work , too busy to fix what they screwed up. And complet read more

Very helpful! These guys are kind and professional. The office is clean and if you have to wait for them to work on your car it's a comfortable place to hang out until your vehicle is ready, if it's a same day service. I am very pleased with their customer service! read more

I've been here before! This time again to replace my ice cream music system? I had one I found on craigslist to replace the one that burned out last year when it touched a bare wire and shorted out? I'm no electrician but that's what I was told? This time to replace that craigslist emergency purchase as it was starting to fade out and in? I could see trouble coming? The guys here at this business reinstalled a new one and better one! Now back in business with this nice sunny weather upon us now! The new is much clearer and louder. the people here led by Billy were most helpful, 5 stars in everything! *****! ''Thanks loads! read more

I generally do not write reviews. However, I feel compelled to do so after dealing with Audio Source in Vancouver, WA. I heard of this outfit through informal word of mouth. Twenty years ago, I was up to speed on car auto systems but that was a long time ago and I am now a bonafide ignoramus in this area. I called Aaron Botelho at his shop and recognized immediately that I was dealing with an experienced and capable specialist. Friendly and down to earth, he did not make me feel silly about my lack of knowledge and he walked me through the varying options over the phone and we made an appointment. When I arrived, he and his team greeted me warmly and Aaron confirmed and reiterated his expert viewpoint with respect to what would provide the best system for my needs and budget. The in-shop experience was fun. The install required exactly the amount of time he stated. Aaron went out of his way to double-check that I received the discounts I was entitled and also walked me through a hands-on demonstration to make sure I could rock on my drive home to Portland. Which I did! Like many others, I have nearly grown accustomed to slipshod and inexplicable service nowadays in virtually all industries but that certainly was not the case with Audio Source. I highly recommend this company. read more

Awesome. Stopped in with some questions and looking for help on a job that was done by one of their competitors on the other side of the river. Audio Source made some great recommendations and i now have sound that exceeds my expectations I'm stoked. Billy & Nathan were super helpful read more

I own a 2000 Mercedes ML 320 and I went to this location today to add Bluetooth capabilities to my MCS system. I was helped by a salesman who then passed me off to a Technician. After rambling through the internet and taking a look at my system, the technician says there's no chance and the salesman proceeds to up-sale me on new face units. I left Audio Source feeling like that the answers I got were not good enough, so I went home and searched the internet, and I found the (Blaupunkt adapter for $13.00). If I were you, do your research online before you go to Audio Source! read more

Been coming here for years - sales people always treat me well and the prices are very reasonable- they also stand behind their work - always like supporting the independent stores rather than big chains read more

Great customer service, I was greeted and felt welcomed right away. I stopped by to get my new sound system tuned for best sound ( new amp, sub, stereo) I was helped right away and after it was finished my sound system sounded amazing! The best part was it only cost 20$ that's right only 20$ Great guys, know what they're doing, highly recommend. Cheers read more

I had an automatic starter installed on my Honda. It works great but I had to go back in to get some additional information as it stops working if you press a certain button. This was not explained to me during the purchase so unfortunately I had to make a second trip. read more

Bait & Switch..... I chose & paid for a Viper Car Security System to be installed in my vehicle, they charged me for 4 hours installation, 89$ for an adaptor and and extra 90$ for resistor locks and relay for lights and shop supplies, including the 'Viper' system the total cost was 627.51 I am not a security system connoisseur so when they printed out my receipt, I didn't notice that the word 'Viper' did not appear anywhere on my receipt and that a totally different model# had been selected, eg 3305L was all that was listed in the 'Item' column, and I know now that that is an AVITAL model#, not a Viper model#. That's an important hint to those of you who purchase anything from this store. Make sure the model#'s on your receipt are the actual items you paid for, you will wish you double checked that one. I dropped off my vehicle at 3pm, pIcked it up at 5.30pm. I noticed straight away that I did not have a Viper keyless fob, my fob read AVITAL. I should have been alerted to that red flag. The next day my friends & I broke into my vehicle to test the alarm system, the alarm didn't even chip that a door was opened, there was absolutely no sound at all. On further investigation, I realized they had installed an AVITAL, not the Viper that I had specifically selected and pre-paid. So the next day I returned to AS and spoke with the salesperson who sold me their goods. I stated that I was not happy to find that they had installed an AVITAL rather than a Viper system and that I had broken into my vehicle without the alarm sounding, and that I would like them to take out their AVITAL and give me my money back. The salesperson assured me that AVITAL system was from the same company as Viper and all he had to do is up the sensitivity of the unit. That's kinda like going into Ford and picking out and paying for the F150 and driving away in an Escort and having the salesperson tell me that it's OK, they're both from the same company. My husband returned the vehicle the next day and spoke with Jamal Poe, the manager, who interestingly USED to work for Car Toys in Portland, and he assured us that he would be more than happy to replace the AVITAL system with the Viper, that he was very sorry that we were unhappy with the install, so all we had to do is drop off the vehicle in a weeks time at 9am, which was this morning. What a difference a week makes. This morning we were informed that they 'had' to charge us another installation fee. They would refund the actual incorrect system, you know, the one that they decided to install instead of what we paid for but it's going to cost another installation fee. What a neat scam they have going on. Customer pays for one brand, and they install another and as it was pointed out to us, they don't do refunds, only store credits. Wow, double whammy. We are not letting this go, we have contacted Directed Electronics, who make Viper and our Attorney. Is there anyone else out there who has experienced this bait & switch business scam from this company? read more

I got my husband's truck detailed here and they did an amaaaazing job! His truck was disgustingly dirty- our lab made sure to get as much dog hair stuck in the carpet as possible, not too mention two kids spilling drinks, food, etc. I didn't think it could look new again but when we got it back it was as if we had just pulled out of the dealership again. I will only use them from now on! Thank you Jamal for the great service and quick turn around time. read more

Went to audio source today and talked to Erica very helpful and nice person. Highly recommend store good customer service.

I took my 4 runner to audio source in 2002 picked everything I wanted to have installed paid for everything left my car went to pick my car up the next day and one of the employees informed me that I owed over 4000 thousand dollars for the equipment stereo speakers all kinds of stuff everything that I had paid for the guy that helped me the day before seen me put all my receipts in my glove box I didn't think anything of it well that person took my paper work kept my 4 thousand plus dollars and I was told that he quit so think twice about going to audio source and let me say this the money that piece of crap took from me was money I got after I was ran over by a car so to treat myself for everything I went through then have some person who didn't care that I have kids I still had open wounds I could hardly walk so think about leaving paper work after buying anything in your car that person that took my money if he would have ask me I would have given the money to him if he needed it but to steal from me because I trusted these people is shameful I truely would have given you the money mister all you had to do is ask I ask for surveillance videos which they told me they didnt have can anyone believe that they didn't have cameras all I want is my money back and mister you need to go to church get on your knees you stole over four thousand dollars from a disable man mentally and physically disable that is who you stole that money from shame on you white 98 four runner read more

Top to bottom service at it's best. I worked with Jamal, who is an expert in the business and his attention to detail is second to none. He solved an issue in my F-150 that had been bugging me since I got the truck in 2013. He was able to bypass Ford's LAME audio system and put in a killer JL stealth box under my rear passenger seat. Stealth means stealth! I can't sacrifice space due to the munchkins sitting back there and kicking everything in sight. Jamal was knowledgeable and kind hearted enough to sell me what I wanted and needed, without the fluff. The turn around time on install was just hours, and the result was soul shaking bass and one happy customer. Thanks Jamal and the Audio Source team. read more

Brian and his team were AMAZING. I came here to treat myself to a stereo and it was a bit intimidating because I know these systems can get quite expensive and I was worried about getting fleeced for things I didn't want or need. When I said I was treating myself they showed me a top notch set up that was a bit more than I wanted to spend. I asked them to go one step lower and they easily could have tried to keep me at the higher price point but rather walked me through my options. I couldn't pay for the system until I sold my house a month from then and they put the stuff aside for me (with a down payment). In about 2 months I called saying I was ready. Brian asked me about my house. He remembered? He wrote it down? Doesn't matter, that's how you treat a customer. He insisted I bring it down on a day he was working so he could run the job himself. They told me to come back the next day and could have easily given it to me but kept it overnight to make sure some of the installed equipment fully cured. They made me feel like their most important customer. Oh by the way, the system is slamming. read more

So I needed a new car radio and stopped by Audio Source. I don't really know that much about car audio systems. I've bought exactly two new cars in my life and upgraded to a non-stock stereo once in my first car circa 1993 and that's it. The CD player stock stereo on my current car died after about 8 years. When I walk in, I was helped by Aaron. I told him what I wanted and he was extremely helpful in going over the different brands and features avaliable. He didn't try to upsale or anything like that. I thought that one of my speakers might be going out. He listened to them and said that they were OK but not the greatest but I might want new ones if I get a new stereo. He talked me thru what all would be involved in the install. I didn't even know they have special kits now so your new stereo will be flush/match up with your dashboard. Needless to say, as a newbie going into this shop who wasn't up on all the different options out there, I walked away with a really nice stereo that totally fits my needs. The install only took 30min and everything looks and sounds great! Very happy and satisfied with the whole experience. Absolutely recommend! read more

The guys in this shop aren't just there to upsell and be done with you. I got my windows tinted and they went through the various options, problems with the legal standards, and showed me examples of what my tint would come out looking like. I didn't even know there was 25% option available. Needless to say the car looks amazing and I will definitely return when I need to update my stereo package. read more

I rarely if ever write a review, but wanted to point out that this is a great place because of the people. Keven is great, and helped me out with my boat system. He understood what I was looking for that fit my needs even though I didn't want to spend top dollar. It's still awesome. I took my first boat in there 25 years ago, and also my son's Tahoe and I've been please with every transaction. The guy that said in his review that he'd just go to Portland to save the tax is making a poor decision that he'll regret. read more

stereo was not put in correctly and have to go in 3 times to get it fixed? very inconsiderate of my time! going to cartoys in the future... LOL read more

I put a mid grade system in touch screen, subs amp Alpine door speakers, close to 3 grand with install They stayed inside my budget first class install very friendly even updated my firmware for free which meant they needed to take my head unit out because my iPhone cord is plugged in. I went back 4 months later they tinted my 2016 charger first one they ever did came out PERFECT!!!!!!!! Today I went back and upgraded to FOCAL separates Holy cow does it sound great and total custom install flawless... went to. Numerous stores no one beat the total cost..... did I mention they upgraded my subs for free and my FOCAL customer for life thank you read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. They do their work as quick as possible to get you in and out, not caring about the quality of the job or the customer. I took my 2012 Ford Focus here to get my ignition interlock taken out by Matt. He left the sleeve for the wiring in my engine bay and ever since my horn / alarm hasn't worked. I have a 3 year old daughter that I transport daily, having a horn is a vital safety feature. I wasted my time taking the car back to them multiple times to "figure" it out, only for them to deny fault. Telling me there is a issue with my horn itself. I've had a lot of cars, and can't say I've ever owned one with a horn that didn't work properly. The interlock is tied into the horn. It's not rocket science figuring out who's at fault here, at least to me. Yet, they tried hard to convince me it's a coincidence that it went out at the same time they performed the work. I'll be taking it to the Ford dealership. Ive owned the car for a couple years and never once had a problem with my horn or alarm prior to taking it here. Would not recommend, just go to Car Toys. It may cost you a few extra bucks, but at least you'll have peace and mind knowing they are doing quality work! read more

Excellent service from the entire staff !!! We have 20 year old cars. I've never felt pushed to buy more than we wanted. We live in Portland but it's worth the short drive across the bridge for such good service. Last year m car was stolen at 9:00am one morning out of our driveway while we were home. I got it back a few days later and decided to install an alarm. I returned this fall to update my car stereo. Late December, after another attempted break-in of our second car, we decided to get an alarm for that car. They fit us in within 48 hours. Dec 31 we dropped off our car. Shortly after we got there, it started to snow. We didn't want to risk trying to drive back to Portland later that afternoon if the roads got rough. The manager offered to keep our car in a secure location until we could come pick it up. Fortunately, the snow was brief and we picked it up the same day. However, the peace of mind and the option to store it for a couple days was PRICELESS. I recommend Audio Source to whoever needs a stereo or alarm. read more

Love this place! Brought my JVC stereo and speakers purchased elsewhere to install in my Smart car, and ended up with a quieter, better sounding ride. Billy is really knowledgable, and made great upgrade suggestions. Matt did a great job installing all the components and all that sound deadening material (he had to take out the seats). Who knew they do window tinting as well as detailing?! I'll be back for sure. read more
