Bristol Sound - front shop - Car Stereo Installation Near Me - Santa Ana, California

I have a 2012 VW Beetle and wanted to add CarPlay. Contacted Bristol Sound, Alex answered, told me to stop by. He was professional and helpful, recommended some options for the service requested. He offered me a complete install done that day well under my budget! Great deal and professional service. I couldn't recommend this team more! read more

I bought some lionheart tires that made my old SUV sound like an airplane. But these guys took them back no questions asked and let me upgrade to Falcons and I just paid the difference. This is my new tire shop for all my cars! read more

Best place to get a sound upgrade at a reasonable price in Southern California! Whether you're looking for a sub and amp or a full system upgrade, these guys got you! Some of the guys here have been here for 30+ years! Most of the dudes here really do know all the technical stuff like product specs, power handing, setting amp gains, setting epicenters. They're exceptional! So far I've gotten a 12" single sub install (full package) for less than $1k in a 2020 premium luxury suv. Other shops quoted me well over 2k just because it was a fancy car. I requested a full system upgrade for a 2016 premium model sedan(not luxury). And once again they came through! My sedan sounds just as good as the suv I also got a tint for the sedan. If high fidelity audio is what you want out of your ride's system, then come to Bristol sound. They will give you exactly what you ask for. read more

These guys are an absolute go to for light installation. They were able to install my ditch lights on the front and back of my truck QUICK! Not to mention very reasonably priced. Their professionalism, knowledge, and friendliness is also something I want to compliment. Thank you Bristol Sound for hooking me up. read more

I submitted a quote request for an alarm system for my truck and Alex was the first one to respond. He was very helpful with all my questions and concerns. Other companies weren't familiar with my type of truck. Alex explained to me about the length of time it would take to install and the price. All the technicians were friendly as well. Overall my experience with Bristol Sound was great. I'm definitely coming back to have cameras installed next. They have a small lounge area with a tv for you to wait in if you're not planning on leaving. NGL I took a nap in there. lol Mike made a cute video for social media of my truck too! Thanks guys!! See you soon. read more

Bristol Sound - Apple Carplay - Car Stereo Installation Near Me - Santa Ana, California

Was quoted $600 for a lift on my truck and other things. I provided a link to the lift so Mike could give me a proper quote. I came in and the price jumped to $1k install with a 2day turn around which ended up being five days. He then quoted me $200 to change out the bushings which then jumped to $600 after he got into the job. The shop is a total bait and switch when it comes to doing any mechanical work on your vehicle. My truck doesn't even drive straight and I'll have to put about another $600 dollars into it. Save the time and hassle unless you're getting a simple speaker install. read more

Stumbled into Bristol Sound over a year ago to get my struts looked into and instead of overselling me something I didn't necessarily need, Alex kept it honest and gave me the fix I needed and nothing more, nothing less. He did recommend that I replace my shocks and to look into upgrading with a lift kit, which I have always wanted to do but it wasn't the right time for me. Fast forward to over a year later and decided to finally pull the trigger and since Alex took care of me when most shops could've taken advantage of upselling, I decided to go back to Bristol Sound for my lift kit and wheel/tire upgrade. There's a lot to choose from with their wheel selection but ultimately landed on what caught my eye the most and Alex and Mike hooked me up. My 4Runner came out looking really good and I'm very happy with the outcome and the service I received. I'd definitely come back here again! read more

Clean head unit installation and rear camera. Also replaced my peeling front door tint.

I needed an upgrade on my stereo screen in my RV van. After researching what I wanted, I went to two different stereo install companies here in the area for quotes. One shop was going to way charge for an install, a second, very deceptive quote upon acceptance call to have work done. Alex, was amazing, upgraded model, installed immediately, saved me a lot of money also. You won't be charged according to what you drive, these guys are honest and install was the best. read more

Bristol Sound - Car Stereo Installation Near Me - Santa Ana, California

Went by to ask a question about a problem with my car alarm system. I didn't get his name but the employee was super helpful. Instead of taking advantage of my lack of knowledge in the situation, they were honest about what they can do and helped to find a better solution elsewhere. I would recommend this place, especially as a young woman since they could have easily made a quick buck knowing they couldn't have solved the problem. Will be coming in the future! :) read more

Mike and Alex are awesome. Great selection of car stereo equipment and wheels also. Reasonable prices, fantastic service. Very pleased and will return. read more

My first experience with Bristol Sound was in 2020 and I appreciate how genuine they were with their service and pricing. I had to go back to change my front window tint due to a ticket and not only were they empathic to my situation but they made sure to help me and inform me of how to resolve it :) read more

Over the weekend, I bought a new Ford Explorer. I reached out to Bristol sound for tint and rims. Mike and Alex were absolutely amazing. They knew I had a budget and kept me under it.

Bristol Sound - Car Stereo Installation Near Me - Santa Ana, California

I searched on Google to see where I could go get a subwoofer and an amp installed because I am am not from this area. I decided to try out Bristol sound. I will give them five out of five stars for customer service. I was greeted by Alex and he couldn't be more friendly and helpful and not to mention honest which you can't find these days . Also, what would it be like if the customer service was great and the job was horrible? WELL IT WAS THE EXACT OPPOSITE. I got a 12 inch kicker and a 1000 W amp installed and I couldn't be any more happier not only was the installation done excellently, but they went out of their way to fix all the stuff that was done wrong by another place. Anyways, if you need any car Stereo stuff done I recommend this place to everybody. My system sounds f&@"n bad ass!!They are the best.!!!! read more

had an outstanding experience with Alex at Bristol Sound. From start to finish, everything was handled with the highest level of professionalism. The quality of the work was top-notch -- clean, precise, and clearly done with care and expertise. What really stood out was the customer support. Alex was incredibly responsive, patient with all my questions, and genuinely committed to making sure I was happy with the final result. The installation process was smooth and efficient, with great attention to detail. If you're looking for someone who truly cares about the quality of their work and goes above and beyond for their customers, I can't recommend Alex and Bristol Sound enough. Solid 10/10. read more

I came in initially for a qoute on front end suspension as mine were completely and utterly used up, scrunching and jangling noise on every bump. I left with new front and rear suspension, and a loyal customer! It's hard to find places or people you can trust. That was not the case here, Mike and staff were resorting, friendly, professional and more than reasonable. That's all a man can ask for in today's world. Which is more than enough. Thank you guys!! God bless! read more

I recently brought my car to Bristol Sounds for assistance with an issue related to my existing dash cam. Although the dash cam was not originally installed by them--and the shop that did the installation is no longer in business--I chose Bristol Sounds based on their positive Yelp reviews. I clearly explained the situation during our initial communication, received a quote that I approved, and scheduled an appointment for a Saturday morning. When I arrived for the appointment, the manager at the counter (who I assume may be the owner, based on our interaction) declined to work on my car. He stated that the are busy on Saturdays and that my job was too small for them to do. Despite my confirmed appointment, he insisted they would not perform the work and suggested I return on a weekday. I asked to speak with Alex, the staff who had helped me schedule the appointment, but my request was denied. I was told rudely that having an appointment did not matter and that I would need to come back on a weekday. While I was feeling frustrated and unsure of what to do next, Alex happened to come by, greeted me, and kindly took care of the situation. He completed the work efficiently within about 40 minutes. Although I'm still giving the shop a 5-star rating due to the quality of the work and Alex's professionalism, I believe the customer service -- particularly how the manager interaction with customers -- could be improved. read more

Quick and fast installation. Very friendly as well. Excellent new radio system in car.

I reached out to most of the auto sound shops in the area and Bristol Sound was by far the most knowledgable when explaining the specific job that I was trying to get done. After reaching out and talking to the owner, Alex, I already felt like I was working with a trusted shop from his recommendations and fair pricing. Roberto installed my custom raising tweeter speakers and his service was top tier! Very knowledgable when it came to recommending the best techniques for installation and what they've worked with in the past. They were also able to accommodate my schedule and finish the job the same day! The results were perfect and Roberto made sure to show me all working features once completed! I'll definitely be coming back for any auto sound work I need done. Highly recommend Bristol Sound! read more

Water got into my stereo system. Shout out to Alex for installing a new one that water cannot get into from the top ( where my sun roof had leaked), and for doing it at an affordable price!! read more

I came in last minute and Alex got my subwoofers working again (poor install by another shop elsewhere that I won't be using again). The customer service was A1 and he gave me great suggestions for my future build! Price was fair and I will be coming back in the near future. I'd recommend visiting Bristol Sound and asking for Alex if you want a seamless experience read more

Reached out to Bristol Sound to get a backup camera installed. I had already installed the head unit myself -- just needed the wire run, brake sync, and camera install. Alex messaged me on Yelp and quoted about $80, which sounded fair. I drove 25 minutes out to their shop, only to have the price suddenly jump to $260 when I arrived. Classic bait-and-switch tactic. Super disappointing and a complete waste of my time. If they had been upfront from the start, I wouldn't have bothered making the trip. Definitely won't be returning or recommending. read more

Called to get a quote on mounting and balancing my new wheels alongside with adjusting my coil overs to make them fit. Scheduling was super easy, I did come a little late but they still took me in. The pricing for the mount+balance and the coil adjustment was very good. Entire thing took just about an hour give or take.The people here are pretty nice. Very cool shop read more

Alex was so very helpful. I highly recommend this place if you're looking to get a camera installed. He got me in right away and out within the hour. Kept me updated on status and always with a friendly smile. His price is unbeatable. I did a project request on Yelp which sent to a bunch of other people and his quote came back the fairest and lowest. Very much appreciated in this economy. Great work! Communication is key and he responded back to any texts I had asap. Go see Alex for your camera installs. read more

They installed camera systems into all 3 of our vehicles. Did an excellent job. Very reasonable, especially compared to other shops in Orange County. read more

Words truly can't express how grateful I am for Bristol Sounds -- and especially Alex! Their professionalism, honesty, and communication are top-tier. I originally had my ignition device installed somewhere else, and they did such a poor job that my car stopped working after just two weeks. I've been dealing with nonstop issues from Intoxalock since day one, and my vehicle had been down since September 15. I brought my car to Bristol Sounds on November 1 for an inspection, recalibration, and lockout, and from the moment I arrived, I felt like I was finally in good hands. Alex and his team went above and beyond, diagnosed the issue, and got my car back up and running. After everything I've been through, the relief and joy I felt when my car finally started again was overwhelming. I am now officially a new customer here -- they've earned my trust. If you want honest, knowledgeable, and truly caring service, Bristol Sounds is the place. Thank you again, Alex & team -- you saved me! read more

This is the WORST experience i have ever had with any automotive company. I'll get right too it Alex is a scammer and a liar. I came to Alex with all my own product, brand new unopened system from PowerBass with EVERYTHING. He quotes me 850 and I was reluctant because i was quoted 650 by a shop closer to my house, but I was told by him he would do top of the line work and he would make it PERFECT. I said okay alex let's do it you can have the car for as long as you need just make sure it's PERFECT. He then tells me go to the upholstery shop near his shop and pickup some fabric to wrap the speaker panels and subwoofer box with. I get it and deliver, and when i get back Alex tells me it's gonna be an extra 300$.I immediately told him to stop working on the car and i will be taking my business somewhere else because i had a very bad feeling. Alex gets real serious and tells me he's really the best person for the job I told him i am not paying 1150 for a stereo install and i told him if he did a good job i would recommend him to the whole of my car club which would have brought him at least 4 customers, he folds and says it will be ready in two days. He never had me sign a payment order or an invoice or anything stating what he was gonna do. I knew better and should have taken the sign. Two days go by and i get the call it's ready for pickup but it's not Alex calling, i arrive and to my surprise The rear subwoofer box is not wrapped in the fabric i purchased. Alex was not there to answer any of my questions as to why it wasn't wrapped and why the quality on the speaker panels in from are so poorly wrapped? I figured alright well i can wrap them myself but i wont be recommending him to any of my people. I get to looking closer and they screwed self tappers into my flirt pans and my the body.... i was upset but not taking it out on the workers cause they aren't the ones who promised me good work. The installer starts to demo it, sounds really unclear and subs were being over worked, he revels he tuned it on the head unit not the DSP that i provided... i mean come on really, i look at the floor and they ran the power cable down the middle of the passenger side carpet... very visible when i told him to run them thru the heater channels because i cleared them and sandblasted them for that purpose. He also decided on his own to do an enclosed box with no pass thru and to set the magnets of the speakers on top on top of the sub box, very bad for the speakers. I will attach pictures of the absolute horrible job that was done i just wanted my car back from the shady people so i paid up and went straight to a different auto sound place in Torrance which re tuned everything. Alex knew he was scamming that's why he wasent there for pickup day, he's shady and his guys do lazy work. He never returned my calls when i tried to contact him after either. He gets old people business by installing new door speakers and head units, this guy and his team don't know what they are doing when it comes to show cars and classic vehicles. I recommend Mike at Audio Matrix in Torrance, he does better work for better price all day long. Alex is a scammer steer clear! read more

Careful when you agree on a price - I called for a window tint removal, and Alex provided a price over the phone of $60 for the windshield only. I went there specifically because of that price, however when I went to check out, Alex said it was $80, and that he provided a range to me $60-$80 and I must have heard what I wanted to hear which was only $60. I know specifically it was only $60 because I wouldn't have gone there if it was up to $80. Ultimately I paid $70, and I was not happy at all because of this completely sleezy tactic - so watch out for this when dealing with them!!!! read more
