Been visiting this place for years! Came here to have a subwoofer and monoblock amp installed recently. The installation was fast, and professional! No exposed wires, no mess, and they even tucked in exposed wires from a previous installation for a backup camera done by another place. On top of all that, they even gave some extra wire free of charge to upgrade my vehicle grounds to help me deal with some dimming lights. Major props to the guys who work here! read more

Found this nearby shop on Yelp and I am glad I did. Had a great conversation with Tony and had him install a rear view mirror that has a built-in dash cam with a rear backup camera in my 2013 Nissan Leaf and 2008 Ford Escape Hybrid for my two sons. Amazing attention to detail. When I received my call from Tony letting me know the Nissan Leaf was ready, when I arrived, I noticed he even installed my sunshade the way I had it before I left the vehicle for him to service! Very nice touch! Both vehicle installs are of very high quality and actually look like a factory install. Price for the mirror and installation was reasonable. My two sons and I are very satisfied with the work and would not hesitate to recommend to others to have their vehicles worked on by Capital Stereo. Very highly recommended! read more

Super friendly and professional service here and they figured out the problem with my Honda accord stereo within minutes and provided a great solution which was better and cheaper than replacing the factory stereo and it sounds great! So when my wife wanted DVD Bluetooth and backup camera set up in our Sienna Tony was the first guy I called and he even provided a better price than the two other places I got on the phone so it was a no brainer to go back here we are so happy that we did it's working great and the whole family loves it! read more

Had my 2 10" JL subs installed here, Very clean install, plus a remote bass control knob in the front on the lower left of my steering wheel. They also installed an aftermarket stereo provided by me.

Capital Stereo has been my go-to car audio store for years. Tony provides excellent customer service, is upfront about prices, and his installations look good and last for a long time. read more

I had my car worked on here. I got automatic locks installed to operate with the alarm they were putting in. And also got wiring done for a subwoofer. Why is it that all installers either smoke or do meth? The locks worked pretty well.. at first. I mostly recall getting guilty looks from the installer and felt the work was slip shod. Wouldn't recommend. read more

This is the best stereo shop I've ever been to in the East Bay. The owner Tony has given me respect, honesty and trust from day one. He's never given me any kind of bullsh*t like other places to make more money. Tony & Chad from CAPITAL STEREO will help you out in whatever you're looking for, no matter if it's an aftermarket in-dash, speakers, navigation, car alarms and etc. You'll get the best price than anybody else. My 2003 Toyota CELICA would never have sounded so good as it does today without the help from Tony and the installers that made it happen. The owner, customer service and the installers get's a 5/5 stars from me! I've been searching for the right Stereo place since 2004 and i'm very grateful that I finally found it. Thank You CAPITAL STEREO! read more

Worst place ever. The guy only wants your money and could care less if it's fits in your car. If you bought something and would like to return it. They don't offer returns. Only exchanges, where if you paid $300 for an amp. If you don't like it. Tough shit your outta luck. For exchanges you will probably get screwed because let's say your amp that you paid $300 for, they may exchange it for a shittier one and give you a $100 amp and they will swear up and down that it's the top of the line. Meaning that it's the top of the shittiest line. Never again will I attempt to shop there. They're really expensive too, for installs. Better off buying your equipment elsewhere and having it installed at Fry's. Too bad, you couldn't give them 0 stars. 1 star is being too generous. read more

Best place for car alarms and audio. Great Customer service and prices. Cheers Tony and Rudy!

I brought them a Viper Alarm system that was purchased from amazon. Capital Stereo did the following: - Verify that they could install it - Asked me if I wanted the remote start feature without any charge (due to the fact that my truck is old enough where it doesn't need an additional model) - Give me a quote. - Gave me a Estimated Time of Completion (3-4 hours). - Start on it immediately as a walk-in on a weekend. That right there earns them 3 starts, because that's what is expected of a service/store. Now, why did I click 5 stars, you ask? There are 2 main reasons: 1 - They called exactly 3 hours and 5 minutes after I left. Told me the truck is ready to come and pickup. Most experiences I have, I never get a phone call, and in fact have to call them to find out the status. Additionally, often the timeline is not correct. Usually they run into a problem, and then don't call me about it. 2 - I had a stereo installed in the truck a few years back from another shop (which I wont go to again cause I had the experience I mentioned above). The stereo was a bluetooth deck with a built in microphone that gets routed to the top left corner of the cab. Unfortunately, they just kind of "clipped" it there instead of installing it proper. Without me asking, Car Stereo properly installed that microphone into the bezel (See attached photo). Again, I didn't ask. In fact, their responsibility was only for the Alarm.... And that, ladies and gentlemen is why Capital Stereo gets 5 stars from me. Keep up the good work! It's the little things like that that will separate you from the rest of the competition. read more

Superior customer service, friendly, honest. Tony and his employees know how to run a successful business while treating the customer with respect. I bought an in-dash navigation and dvd system for an unbelievably low price with the wiring harness. When I got home to install it, it turned out the wiring harness was not the one for my car. I called... Tony answered... told me to come by whenever i get a chance and that he would give me a full refund ( since i already purchased the correct harness from another store). A few days later i came by with a friend who wanted to buy an amp and head unit and Tony hooked him up as well. if i need anything car audio/video related, i will gladly drive from sf to Fremont just to go to capital stereo. read more

I've been to other car audio shops around Fremont and thought I'd try Capital Stereo since I was looking for a specific Honda auxiliary input -- I called and the guys said he had the one I wanted plus a couple others. I did my research before going so I knew how much I wanted to pay. With that budget in mind I went there today one my lunch break. To my surprise I actually got out of there under budget. The person helping, the owner I think (didn't get his name) was really helpful and straight-forward. I went straight home and installed it and now I can actually use my MP3 player in my car. Keep up the good work and thanks for not trying to up-sell me like most other shops do. We also discussed (no pressure) a flip-down DVD player which I went to have installed in my wife's car. He gave me a really good price and as soon as our schedule/budget allows, I'll have this done. Will post an update and pics when I get this done. read more

Used to come here for my old car and the owner was hella helpful. Prices arent out of the ordinary.. but he is very negotiable with pricing and installation. Smart workers who know wtf they're talking about though, so that's good. Plan on coming to have new system installed! ...whenever that may be. read more

I came in to install Viber the other day. i got really good deal for installation.I was going to install whole package but Chad, the man behind the counter, explained me about everything and what i need. In the end, it turns out I only need half of what I wanted to install so it saved me like 600$. Today I came back in to get my cam hardwired into the car system. Only charged me 30$ and on top of that during the installation, he asked me if i wanted to put a switch so I don't waste battery if I don't need to record it. He did it for free too! Best customer service! The mechanic Omer is helpful too. He suggested really cool places for me to install the switches. read more

I recently purchased a new stereo system for my older 7 series BMW. Tony, the manager is great. He knew a lot about the original stereo system in the car and what upgrades would work well. He asked me if the stereo sounded as good after I had the original head unit replaced (I needed a blue tooth phone in the car). The replacement was done by another shop here in town. I told him that honestly, I didn't think it sounded as good as before. Then he informed me that the original BMW head unit had a special amplifier that drove the speakers in the back deck and that just plugging in a standard aftermarket head meant losing those speakers although the speakers in the rear doors still worked. The store that installed the prior head unit never explained that to me! Anyway, I purchased a new head unit, amp, speakers and subwoofers from Capital and had them do the installation. I think most of their customers must love blasting their stereos. When I picked up the car, the treble and bass were so intense they were scary! I like a more toned down sound but once I turned down the treble and subwoofers a bit, the system sounds GREAT! Yesterday, I listened to an old song that that I must have listened to hundreds if not thousands of times over the years and I was amazed at the clarity. I heard instruments playing that I had never noticed before, all these years. I am really happy with the stereo and with the service Tony and his staff provided. Good price too. The system I got from them was quite a bit cheaper than systems recommended by one of their competitors here in town. read more

Tony (the owner) is by far the most honest and legit person I've met from my car audio shopping experience. He will tell you what's best based on your needs. NO BS's! I've done my entire car audio setup here and I have to say, WOW! They really know their stuff! Professionally done and hooked me up with the parts I needed to install my JL 300/4 amp and Alpine Spx17-Pro. I'm a happy customer. Trust me, this place is THE PLACE to check out if you need stereo equipments. Also had this place install my Viper 5901. Love it! read more

Had a very good experience here, after a TERRIBLE ONE at Best Buy in Union City!!! They had the exact same stereo here fro $60 less than Best Buy, and they had all the equipment IN STOCK, which Best Buy did not. They were very accomodating and able to squeeze my wife in at the end of the day. He made me aware of the Bose sub in my wifes car that needed an amp bypass to work, but he could sell me a reasonable amp to drive that sub, so that I do not lose clarity. Hmmmm.....Best Buy failed to mention I would lose my subwoofer when using the amp bypass...SO glad I did not use Best Buy!!! The only issue I have is the screws in the mounting of the amp have vibrated loose with the bass hitting, so I will likely take it back to have them re-screw them in. Minor thing that could have happened to any installer. I would DEFINITELY use Capital Stereo again!!! read more

Thanks capitol stereo for everything Im recomemmendes this place for all cars accessory needs read more

Came in here today 6/16 on my day off to get a new deck for my car after prolonging it for so long. & I got a chance to meet the owner Tony who took such good care of me! I had called prior to get a estimate to see what I was looking at or a brief range. So I told him exactly what I wanted I picked and chose which model I wanted & Tony took good care of me. He had one of his guys install it quickly as I had plans to meet with my friends. Within a matter of 20-25 mins I had my new deck installed and I was in & out of there no time! The total was even cheaper than what I was quoted over the phone. I didn't get the second accessory for my car so I'll be back to visit Tony real soon! Great selection of cool gadgets for your car and the customer service is great! I'll be letting other know about my great experience and be referring the business to friends and family! See you soon Tony! read more

Capital Stereo replaces the speakers in two of my cars in the last 4 years! They are very knowledgeable and take time with their customers. I highly recommend this place. They have many different stereo equipment to choose from. I'll definitely be back! read more

Priceless....... this is the word I would use to describe the deal and service I received. I was greeted by Chad and he is the guy to see.. the store was neat and complete. many choices and prices to boot. I got everything I was looking for and more. the thing that stands out the most was Chad ,straight forward and willing to deal. l will say it again PRICELESS...... If you want Quality and service this is the place. don`t waist your time with any others. and again ask for CHAD, tell him the butcher sent you. read more

I had the pleasure of dealing with both Chad and Tony while getting my Viper system installed. The thing I noticed first is that they are very straightforward and friendly people who know how to properly run a car audio business. In this industry, there is a sense of deceit usually, but not at Capital Stereo. They treated me very well, provided a product at an excellent price, and did a wonderful and clean install. My car is a newer G37, so the wiring is a bit different and more complicated than normal. I had some very minor (and understandable) issues with the system, but they took my car back without question and without delay to get it fixed immediately. I truly appreciated their sense of responsibility and commitment to the customer even after the sale. Another note: I didn't get their installer's name, but he was also very knowledgeable and really knew the Viper system extremely well. He took extra time to make sure everything was working fine and answered every question I had. If you need car audio.. this is the place to go. read more

Tony & the team are amazing! They're honest and will work hard to help you out. I took both my VW Golf & my girl's Lexus LS there for window tinting and it's absolutely perfect. I was also looking to upgrade my sound system and Tony had a wealth of knowledge on the right options for me. I don't trust businesses easily with my car (especially my girl's!) and Tony and the team have earned my trust fully. I would refer any of my friends and family to Capital! Thanks guys!!! read more

These guys did an excellent job installing an avic-w8400nex, 4 channel rockford fosgate amp that I bought from them and also a bass kit I bought from Frys. It sounds awesome! Tony is great and will price match most places, even amazon. Ill definitely come here anytime I need something done with car electronics. Thanks Tony! read more

Don't go witthese guys since they are gave you lower quote for the work. I will not recommend these guys to anyone, because they are not honest. They gave me a lower quote for installation when i was to them, after the work is done they will give a different prices. So please make sure what is the final amount for the work and check the split of that amount. read more

Great service, best price and quality of work. They did my job very fast and gave me great price on my new pioneer stereo beautiful sound effects. Thanks for all the team at capital stereo . read more

I called this place for a quote and the man was very rude. He quoted me $400 for a car stereo and speaker installation. He kept interrupting me while I told him what I needed to be installed then told me to go to another place. I was shocked as I assumed it was a good place because of the reviews. Right afterwards, I called Pacific Stereo and was quoted $100. Moe was very professional and I was greeted with customer service. Please don't give attitude to your customers or prospects. We are the reason why you have a 9 to 5 at Car Stereo. Way to go buddy. "Have a great life?" Yea, that's exactly what I mean. My life is a lot better by not going to your store hah. I would've given you a no star, if yelp enabled that option. Oh yeah, don't try to look good on yelp now, in front of your viewers. read more

I do not write reviews unless I'm extremely happy or extremely disappointed. In this case, I'm extremely happy. Tony, the owner is very, very honest and willing to to put the customer's needs first. I was looking for a bluetooth setup for my older model Lexus LS400. Initially, I was talking to him about the touch screen models that other places were talking to me about. He talked me out of it and into a higher quality sounding system, without a touchscreen at a way cheaper (1/2) price point. Installation was fast, honest and with complete disclosure. Lastly, this is a family oriented business. I can't tell you how many shops I have gone into in the past where I felt out of place. I don't have a super fixed up car and I'm not 21 anymore. I felt totally comfortable speaking with Tony about normal car audio/video issues and recommendations. I just wanted a Bluetooth stereo and to know a little more about DVD video installation in an SUV or minivan. No special street racer names here, just an awesome owner that takes care of his customers named Tony. Thanks Tony and team! You did wonderful job installing my new stereo. Having Bluetooth now is amazing! read more

Great service! Chad was very helpful, he came out to my car to test out my stock radio. I was interested in the Kenwood HD radio and Bluetooth deck. He searched for the same product online and price matched, even gave it to me OTD without tax! Highly recommend this place, better than buying online! I am installing myself, he was nice enough to give me directions on proper install! read more

I rarely give 5 stars. Installed BT45-TOY Bluetooth and 3.5MM jack in 2005 Sienna XLE Limited and bluetooth mic. The owner Tony was very responsive to messages on Yelp and phone calls. I ordered the parts on Amazon and installation was done for $75 in 45 minutes. Tony helped me test it out. Based on this experience, I contacted Tony again and got Pioneer 4200NEX from Capital Stereo for the same price as on Amazon and paid tax but got $100 mail in rebate which compensated for the tax and some. The other parts were ordered from Amazon with consultation from Tony because he honestly told me that his price is the same and he too has to order. It was therefore better for me to order and take the parts for installation. I paid $250 for installation including Pioneer ND-BC8, bluetooth mic, USB, HDMI for Android, USB for iPhone and a 3.5MM jack all in a 2006 Lexus LS430. Very neat job. Tony and his installer went out of the way to help me test the system because T Mobile Galaxy Note 3 did not work. Samsung S7 and iPhone worked.

Tony is amazing. Knowing the fact he owns the shop also puts the situation in customer shoes. I wanted to fix backup camera and navigation in my mom's Honda CR-V but didn't wanted to spend way too much for an 08. Tony walked me thru the line ups and got me exactly what I needed and in my budget. The install is very clean and professionally done. I highly recommend this shop to everyone for all your audio needs. The overall price was more than fair. Thanks Tony for taking car of my car. read more
