Pictures dont really give my review justice, wish I can share video of how nice the speakers and sound came out from the work that Cal Custom Audio did on my boat and wake tower. Initially I wasnt sure who I could take my boat to but my boat mechanic and relative's husband referred me there and Im glad I went there. From the minute I walked in Paul heard what I wanted and gave me his advice and options with no pressure. They were honest, fair, professional and most of all the product of their work I cant say enough of how bad*** it came out as I took the boat out to the lake the week after and it was awesome. As a customer I am very happy and satisfied with the work they did and plan on bringing it back for other work and upgrades yet to be done. Thank you Paul and staff, you get 5 stars from me read more

Had a great experience with Cal Custom Audio and Window Tint. Vince was super helpful and knowledgeable throughout the whole process. He took the time to explain different options and even helped me save money instead of just upselling me. I really appreciated the honesty and customer service. Highly recommend if you're looking for quality work and people who actually care about helping you out. read more

They use to do quality work. Been going since 2018 with all my vehicles. Just not the same quality work anymore. Lots of going back to get minor things repaired. Go elsewhere. read more

My sunshade to the my panoramic sunroof broke. It was going to cost $4,000 to replace. I called Cal Custom, came in the same day & had the sunroof window tinted. Saved me thousands & I like it better! read more

They did some audio work on my boat. It never work right after they installed the amp. Took it back several times with no resolution. Ended up going somewhere else to get it fixed. Don't go to cal customs, they will just take your money and do a poor job. read more

I was looking to get window tint on my vehicle and reached out to Cal Custom. I was interested specifically in full ceramic to block more UV light/heat from the interior. Cal Custom was very competitive in pricing. I messaged the owner and he was quick to respond through IG. I booked a date & time within a couple days of messaging him. I dropped my vehicle off at 11am and it was done by 3pm. I couldn't have asked for the tint to be installed any better. If you're looking for quality tint installation at competitive pricing, I recommend this business! read more

Cal Custom upgraded the built-in outdated nav system in our 2011 Honda Insight to a modern Sony touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay, plus added a high def backup camera. Paul was easy to work with, walked me through options and pros and cons, and was clear about pricing and time frame. They nailed the installation, looks great, hid the wires on the backup camera so you don't see a trace. He's also got a separate business partner who polished up the headlight exterior looking like new. Pricing & selection: they had two models of stereo and one model of backup camera in store that are compatible with my vehicle. You'll find more options both higher and lower price online, but price for the Sony unit was same in-store as online from Crutchfield or Best Buy. You'll also find lots of videos on how to DIY the install. For a job I'm probably only ever going to do once, I was happy to support a local small business who doesn't stock cheap stuff that's going to fail in 6 months, and who can select the right adapters and wiring harnesses the first time, and has the tools and know-how to do a clean install without breaking clips and panels. I was very happy and would use them again. read more

DO NOT GO HERE!!! I purchased my wiring and got it installed here for my subwoofer. FOR 450$! A year after installation, the wiring melts and causes a small fire in my trunk, burning a hole into my battery. I came back to the shop expecting them to replace it free of charge. Boy was I wrong, not only did he try to charge me for parts but LABOR AS WELL. I never once adjusted or changed a thing about the setup they gave me. Well, the employee became angry and got into my face yelling profanities at me. So i'm left with 450$ useless wiring and -230$ for a new battery. Super unprofessional and sketchy. read more

I'm just reviewing my experience with this shop, I had a 10 inch Pioneer subwoofer installed at this place, since the beginning I noticed I had some kinda back feed sound coming from speaker, took it back so they reconfigured some things the owner said, after that I kept hearing that back feed, and before I could take car back again the subwoofer went out, so took car back, they had to ship the speaker out and get me a new one, after a month wait, finally the speaker came in and was installed, but I was charged $45 bucks for the shipping of that speaker that I bought from them, I asked if he could wave fee for the inconvenience and the owners response was "What inconvenience?" So for his business it wasn't an inconvenience, but for me it was, And had to pay that charge, and for those reasons I would not recommend this place to anyone who asks me where I got my sub installed... read more

Glad I read reviews before I chose to go to Cal Custom. Bought my son a 2014 Corolla and purchased a Viper alarm for keyless entry and replaced the deck with something that supported CarPlay. Installed the Viper in one afternoon, and the deck in a few hours as well. No up-sell, no pressure. Just knowledgeable guys running a solid business. Definitely recommend and will be back for sure. Thanks Paul. read more

They upgraded my auto system with good equipment for a good price, and stayed open late to complete the install in one day. It's sounds great! They will definitely be getting more business from me!!! read more

Think of any great words or favorite phrase you might use to affirm a great business ... whatever you choose, it describes Cal Custom. My words: Incredible; sooo helpful; so kind and positive. Paul and his guys were awesome!! I am so thankful that I was able to be helped by Cal Custom. He installed a new sound system for my Honda Accord. I went back a couple of times with questions and needing help. Paul was so good. He went the extra mile in his service. I even learned something!!!!! Thank you, Paul. Have a great 2023. read more

Highly recommend you come here for all your custom audio and window services. Paul provides great customer service, and he is very knowledgeable and experienced. I came here to get a 12 " JBL sub put into my car, and it was the smoothest purchase I've ever made. I showed up, told Paul what I was looking for, he discussed my options with me, and then made a great recommendation to go with the JBL with the built in amp. Paul got right on it and installed the system within 2 hours, explained the technical specs to me and showed me how to operate the system properly. And let me tell you, the final product is exactly what I was looking for, and all for a reasonable price. Don't waste your time and money going anywhere else! Go see Paul at Cal Customs. read more

Awesome service and great guys Paul and Vince. They really look out for your best interest. Recommend them highly. Had taken my yukon there a few times and they have always taken care of business. read more

I had a sound system put in my brand new Chevy Silverado by these guys a few weeks back. Paul is who I dealt with. I received the best customer service and quality of product/work of any car audio place I've ever been too. I could not be happier with the system that Paul installed for me. I live in sac so it's a bit of a drive, but I will always go to Paul from now on due to the customer service. Well worth it. If you want an honest shop/person to go to for car audio, go to Paul. Thanks, Devyn P. read more

DO NOT take your vehicle here, do not pre pay for any services. You WILL lose your money. This is a bottom of the barrel shop that barely knows what they are doing or anything about customer service. I paid $330 ahead of time to get my car tinted, ended up not needing the tint because I sold the car, they would not refund my money even with the receipt. I basically lost $330 after receiving no service and muscle head tried to strong arm me and get in my face to say that is their store policy. This place was a real disappointment. I have dealt with many customers as I ran a few businesses in my time, the smart thing would have been to give me my whole refund. If you really need a tint shop, go to ACJ tinting in Hayward, they do a good job at a great price. read more

We love our new stereo system. Thanks Paul for making it a seamless process.

Paul has continually given me great service and pricing. I would highly recommend him and his staff. Thanks Paul

$280 labor just to uninstall the interlock very expensive. They don't give you the right information to Proceed.!

I went here a while ago and was beyond shocked. I gave this place a try because my friend recommended it and said he could give me a deal. Besides the owner calling my friend his "cousin" there was no form of a deal whatsoever. I brought in my two Eclipse subwoofers hoping they could install those and I would pay for an amp and the install fees....WRONG. They told me they could do so and proceeded to come out after 20 minutes and said they blew both Eclipse subwoofers and could not replace them. Being somewhat younger than I am now, I didn't know any better and agreed I would have to buy new ones. They will totally take advantage of you if you let them. The $150 "deal" I was supposed to get turned into a $450 fiasco. Don't go here and if you are desperate, try somewhere in Modesto like Audio Pros or Car Audio Depot....much better service with no complaints. read more

one of my customers told me about this place- I wasnt sure about driving all the way to tracy, but since they were open on sundays and the guys were super helpful. I was not sure what kind of system I wanted,I checked other places and it seem like they just wanted to sell me the most expensive system and all sorts of stuff I didn't need. Long story short Paul, Abel and Victor were wonderful! Despite being swamped on the weekend I was treated really good and I was impressed at how quickly they worked! they totally helped me and didnt make me feel like a dumb girl like some of the other places. I have no idea what the hell Carl was taking about in his review. sounds like he is nuts, every one speaks english, and some of them speak spanish. More importantly they speak customer service A+ from me. these guys are totally professionals and they have some super specials that were hard to beat. Plus i really enjoyed my ride home with my new sound system :) read more

The guys over at Cals have been helpful, courteous and overall reasonably priced. I would recommend this business highly.

These guys have been taking care of my car audio needs for years. To date they have done 4 vehicles for me. All had amps, subs and touch screen. The install & quality of products is high and holds up well. The tech's know what they're doing. We're lucky to have these guys in town. read more

One Stop Shop. These guys are great. Paul and Vince are as good as they get. We've had three different things done with 3 different types of Rides. They did a perfect job on Tinting my windows in my New BMW. Found a wire short in our Hummer. And put in a Stereo and Speakers in my husband Harley. We would highly recommend them. read more

Super friendly and reasonable. Went for a trouble shoot not knowing anything about stereos. I wasn't taken advantage of at all, got an awesome deal on top of having the system fixed. Couldnt be happier. Highly recommended. read more

I am sorry if you guys had a bad experience at California Custom audio. On the other hand I must say, that they tinted the windows on my car, and they did a super job. Delivered on time, and even gave me a break on the price. My experience was satisfactory. read more

Great service! Absolutely enjoyed the experience. This is our third car installation. Stopped over to see if there was an issue with a fuse since we had our engine replaced in our vehicle. They took us right away and had us in and out! Fabulous! They know what they are doing and can help with all your needs! I will definitely be going back for my 4th car! :-) Stellar service! Keep up the good work! Thanks so much! read more

I always have a great experience when I come here, especially when working with Paul. I've taken all my vehicles here for alarms, stereos, parts and even window tint. I'm very "OCD" about fit, finish, and functionality and so far i don't have any complaints. It's been 4 years to date I've been coming back here for service, upgrades, and even just advice for my own projects. Their work area isn't the latest in modern technology, but their work ethic and skill more than makes up for it. Since I've been a repeat customer, I think I've benefitted from that relationship with negotiated deals. It may not work for everyone, that's the beauty of negotiating, but I will say that cash proves to be king and you don't feel like it's anything but honest after they give you a receipt. I've been to other places that do cheap work with a handshake and no proof it happened, they don't do that here. Their prices for hardware is reasonable, which means that the bulk of their business is labor. Sometimes it's just nice to let someone else do the work. Besides... It's only money and they do a good job. read more
