Trust Rewarded…read more Although I was a long-term owner of an audio store in eastern Iowa, back during the dawn of serious home and car audio, I had been retired from the business for well over 20 years. I recently got the desire to bring the audio system in my 2007 Mazda CX-9 out of the dark ages and into the present. I had acquired the equipment after a lot of research but needed someone to install the system for me. After doing some additional research on nearby stores that provided installation services, I noticed Stereo King here in Gresham. Although they had a lot of great reviews they also had a noticeable amount of 1 star reviews although virtually all of them were from 10 years ago. Knowing that all it takes to hurt a store's reputation is just one bad apple, and that this one was likely long gone, I decided to take a chance and check them out in person. My first interaction was with Chris and he seemed to be both helpful and knowledgeable. After getting a feel for the store I decided to invest in some Mesa door kits to provide some needed sound deadening for my doors along with some Fast Rings which would help to enclose and isolate the 5.25" woofers in my four doors. My installation was set up for approximately a week later so that gave me plenty of time to write up a detailed list of equipment to be installed with my ideas for where it would be installed and roughly how I expected it to be dialed in given my personal tastes while also taking into consideration my noticeably reduced high frequency hearing. I emailed this to Chris and he forwarded it to Jeff a day before the install was to be done. As you can probably tell by now, I am pretty meticulous and particular as to what I wanted to achieve. Now maybe Chris and Jeff were going above and beyond because of my 28 years in the business but if that was the case they certainly didn't make it seem that way. When I met Jeff on the day of the install I quickly felt more at ease because of his pleasant demeanor but also due to both his apparent knowledge and years of experience, so that was a relief. The job that he and his assistant, James, had to do would be time consuming even though this was not a super custom job. Having been in the business, I knew that installers can sometimes get called away from a job to give a customer a consultation about how a potential installation might go and what it would cost. Having been retired for nearly 20 years I readily encouraged them to roll over to a second day to finish my job if it was needed knowing that this would take some pressure off of them. So, how did it all go? Well, I have to say that the Stereo King team certainly met my expectations and the install both looked good and sounded as I expected it would. The system consisted of a new head unit, a reasonably powerful 5-channel amplifier, two pairs of component speakers and a sealed sub-woofer in addition to the Mesa sound deadening material and Fast Rings. Throughout the process both Chris and Jeff were great to deal with and they provided good suggestions when they were needed. I think that if a customer knows what they want to achieve and can effectively communicate how they want their system to sound the Stereo King team certainly seems to have both the equipment and the know how to make it all happen for you. My thanks go out to both Chris, Jeff and James for the time they spent with me and the results they produced.

After thoroughly reading reviews, and getting multiple quotes, I decided to go with Mobile West for…read morewindow tinting on my wife's car. They were not the cheapest, nor were they the most expensive. After getting quoted $425 for the entire car with ceramic tint, we scheduled the appointment. I dropped the car off and was told it would take about half the day. I arrived back to pick it up after receiving a call about 4.5 hours later. I went inside and paid. They originally tried to charge me more than was quoted because of a total of 9 windows instead of 7 (they count the 6 inch triangles next to the front two) but Peter made it right, and only charged what he had quoted. I should've inspected the car before paying, because their were several issues with it. After inspecting it, I brought Peter out to take a look. There were several scratches up the sides of the windows, and what looked like rust particles under a few. I am aware that there would be bubbles for a few days while they dried, but this was not that. Peter told me that it was from the plastic tool that they use, and that it should go away in a few days, but if it didn't, to come back and they would redo them. I also noticed that from spraying the windows and the film, our car doors and rear seat had stains on them that were not previously there. I messaged Peter and was scheduled the next week to have them redo some of the windows and have the detail guys clean the fabrics. After bringing it back to them, they did replace the window tints that had the scratches, and I couldn't tell if they actually did detail it, because some of the liquid lines are still visible. Unfortunately, this $425 window tint is going to cost me more money because I'll have to take the car to a real detail shop to clean up. They also left scrap tint trash crumpled up on the floor of the back seat. Overall, I'm not sure how they do with car electronics, but I would personally not recommend them for window tinting.

Needing a real stereo system for my car, I investigated a few shops and decided on Mobile West. My challenge is that all of my music is on iTunes but my amartphone is Android. I don't want to Bluetooth music from my Android as it drains the battery. My goal was to use my iPod shuffle as the music source, which they said could be done. It can't. The speakers, while good, were located in an area that were blocked anytime I had my gym bag or groceries on the floor. After a few back and forths, I upgraded the stereo and put in additional speakers to give it surround sound and to avoid the side door situation. I have a tiny car, which makes it challenging. Mobile West gave me full credit for the previous equipment and the install, which I put towards the new configuration. Stereo system works, not with iPod shuffle, but with an old iPhone that I keep just for this purpose. Most important, the sound is fabulous! Several months later, I noticed the small microphone for voice commands had popped off, opening the sun visor had knocked it. I stopped by the other day and Steve greeted me at the door, remembering me and my car. After taking a look, he said the microphone should be in a different location away from the visor. Without hesitation, he said they would rewire and install a new microphone holder, no charge, since they stand by their work. I didn't have to bring my receipt or anything. He remembered me and that was good enough. I brought my car in the next morning, it took just 10 minutes to rewire to new location. Not only did it look better, it picks up my voice better. Thanks, Steve, I really appreciate you and your team!

Musicar Northwest I…read morehad a stereo installed by Musicar Northwest in my 2023 Porsche Macan. I live very closeby in Portland, OR. Products: Musicar does custom car stereo installs for many brands of cars. They have some pre-engineered solutions for some Porsche models. They have a solution for my Macan. This includes choosing suitable components like amps, speakers, digital processors, soundproofing. It includes their installation process, the tools, and all the tips and tricks they learned - see the YouTube videos. They even "re-brand" some of the individual components from Audio Fischer and Morel to Musicar. Note: these are Best of Class components. Planning: Musicar offers several options for the Macan. For instance, they can use a Digital DSP (NAV-TV ZEN-V) for better signal quality (I opted), upgrade the rear speakers (I declined), add a center channel and speaker (I opted), and a custom constructed subwoofer box (I declined and asked for a pre-built JL CS110LG-TW3). I asked Musicar to install 2 x plastic handles on the sub, use some Velcro straps to affix it to some tie down straps in the Macan, and to use Speakon twist and lock speaker cable connectors. If you are local, they are glad to have you in to tour the office/workshop and listed to some sample installs. Execution: Musicar took the car on a Monday and returned it on a Friday. However, unbeknownst to me, my Macan had water soaking the passenger footwell carpet. Nick/Musicar contacted me about this and had kindly dried the carpet while working on other areas of the car to stay on schedule. The system looks 100% stock - the subwoofer/tune selecter controller was installed perfectly inside the armreset console and the speaker grills remain stock. Exception: the removeable JL sub box sits in the covered cargo area behind the read seat, exactly as I preferred, and is affixed by velcro straps with a secure and removable Speakon connector. Follow Up: There was one follow up visit to 1) adjust the gain higher on the subwoofer, 2) extend the subwoofer speaker cable for more slack and option to move the box around. Conclusion: Musicar was by far my BEST EXPERIENCE with custom stereo upgrades so far - I had at least 3 done - and I am 100% SATISFIED. Their AMAZING DESIGN of the system - including going up to 9" woofers in the door where the stock system has 8" most others go down to 7" or 6.5" - results in superb bass response from the doors. The consultation process was great - Nick is a wonderful host, knows his stereo and music, and gives great guidance on how to achieve your goals in a system. And addressing the unexpencted water intrusion issue as part of the install process - that is EXCEPTIONAL serivce. The tune made by Nick was almost exactly what I was looking for - and adjusting Bass/Treble a bit in the head unit, and increasing sub gain a bit made it perfect. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Nick and the Musicar Team for your car stereo install/upgrade. Website: https://musicarnw.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/musicarnw

Seven months ago, I paid more than $1100 to have a car stereo upgraded by Northwest Car Audio…read moreConnection. Will came and installed the stereo but forgot to bring a couple components. He had to order them (despite the fact that I had already paid for them) and said he would return the following week to install them. I never heard from Will again. He completely abandoned me. I have reached out to him probably a dozen times over seven months. We set up several appointments to fix my car and he simply did not come to them. I've tried to text him, tried to call him, he just never writes back. He never calls back. Per my original invoice, I have paid for more than $200 worth of equipment and service that I simply never received. And I have no way to get it back, because Will keeps ghosting me. I feel like I have been stolen from. Totally unacceptable. At this point I don't know what recourse I have except to warn you not to use this company. They will steal from you and then avoid you forever. If I do hear from them, I will update this review.
