The only electronic store in all north lake is closed on the weekends and by 5 during the week. It's like they don't want business

Thanks for the extra research, work and curiosity! Retrofitting car audio systems is like solving a giant puzzle--fun to sort this out together. A fantastic upgrade... read more

Jordan was very attentive to my needs. He installed the device promptly. He provided me with all the knowledge I needed and had me watch a video while I waited for the installation. Great customer service. Very pleased with his professionalism and the time he spent helping me understand the device. Highly recommend Carlson's Electronics. read more

Be aware, once they've gotten your money there is no loyalty to customer service. Bought a TV from them which they installed. Have an issue with the picture not working and they won't come out to fix for over a week. Sorry I ever bought the TV. read more

Love their mobile service! Everyone there is very professional, prompt and super nice. Love that it's a family run business! I will use them for all of my electronics in the future. read more

Excellent service and very professional. Installed an android head into into my tundra. Super easy and fairly priced.

I have a 21 Chevy Silverado and they did an excellent job hooking two 10" subs that you can't even tell they were in there. I'm so happy I went with these guys. Love there professionalism and their friendliness towards costumers. YOU GUYS ROCK!! read more

They have been doing a great job and I truly appreciate them for all the help I have received. It's close to downtown so if you have to leave your vehicle for service you can take a short walk to get a meal, shop or enjoy some yummy coffee. These guys are very knowledgeable and trustworthy. read more

Bought the life changing remote start for my Subaru. Love it and the whole team at Carlson's. They are so helpful and completed in half a day. read more

We live in Serene Lakes and have had years of problems with Directv service. Many scheduled appointments where they did not show up and several contractor techs were sent up from Sacramento with two wheel drive trucks, without snow tires, or a ladder and they got stuck. Luckily a trusted neighbor suggested I call Carlson's Electronics who are in Truckee. They came right out and got our dish sorted out and our service restored. We know we will have dish problems in the future with the weather on Donner Summit, but we now have a trusted company to help us that understands our area. Thank you so much Carlson's Electronics! read more

I got my wifi booster here for the same price as Reno without having to drive down there. Check it out.

So I am a big AV fan and follow all the usual sites and keep up on the latest technology, and consider myself pretty knowledgeable, but after tackling my new rack with upgraded components, and still being disappointed by the amount of loose spaghetti that was viable, I knew I had to bring in a professional. One simple call to Russel at Carlson's and the wheels were in motion for Glenn to show up at my house and detangle my unorganized mess. What a professional and kind gentleman he was, and he promptly showed up 15 minutes early. He spent a good 3 hours wiring and setting up my rack properly and explaining in detail, the room calibration and bass management for the subwoofer. I was completely satisfied with the detailed job he did and would definitely recommend Carlson's for any AV projects you might have. I only give up to 4 stars on my reviews so I don't sound too biased, but these guys are spot on with their business!! Shop local and keep it local! Cheers read more

These guys know their stuff. I've had Sirius installed in two cars by them; on time, follow through, estimate was in line with actual costs. Today I ran around town last minute trying to replace my internet router and they came through again; went to the places in town and they had the best equipment! read more

What a great little electronic's/TV shop. Service was amazing. I wanted to buy an Apple Ethernet adapter, but the gentleman recommended we try it out on one of his TVs first before I buy it. Unfortunately for me it didn't work, but thankfully, because we tried it in the store, it saved me a return. Will definitely be back to this store. You don't get customer service like this anymore and its great to know it still exists! read more

Excellent advice and service. Efficient installation and all works well. Very friendly owner and staff. Thanks.

I just had a Alpine stereo put in my truck. They diagnosed the problem with my old stereo, removed it and put in a new bluetooth stereo for a good price and $25.00 labor! Both Russell and Matt were very friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend them for your electronics needs. read more

Best little computer/tech shop in the area. They are just like my shop but up in the mountains. Had a Ubiquiti AP that I needed for a project and super helpful. Staff was very responsive and helpful. read more

My tech crazy family brought our ps3 and wiu with us to the Red Wolf Lodge and their tv's don't accept the connections so we came here and Russell got us the adapter we needed, problem solved but NOTICE !!!!!! The map is WRONG ..... Drive down w. River st NOT At the intersection of River and 89!!! read more

I Live in the North Tahoe area and had been thinking about going to Reno to look for a car stereo. I decided to look on Yelp and see if there is any close by stores and found Carlson's electronics in Truckee. I felt it would be better to use local business.After reading some of the reviews I decided to go in and check it out. I had no knowledge of what kind of system I wanted or what to look for. When I walked into the store I was instantly greeted by Russell and Glenn. They made me feel very comfortable as a shopper and showed me their inventory and discussed what would be best for me. I thought it would be way more expensive and they showed me some very reasonably priced stereos. Didn't make me feel stupid over my lack of knowledge of car stereo systems lol. I picked out something that was best for my needs they made appointment for me the next day. When I came back and walked in they said it would be roughly 2 hours. They handed my keys to Nate the installer And he began the the install immediately. I went and ran some errands around town and shortly after an hour I received a phone call saying the work had been completed. Nate the installer was a really nice guy he got in the vehicle with me and showed me some of the features of my new stereo and made sure I was Happy with my purchase. I just wanna say thanks guys for the awesome customer service and the great new car stereo I have. read more

Matt from Carlson rewired a broken connection in a hard to find power adapter in just minutes, saved the party! Helpful and very inexpensive. Lots of part inventory read more

Carlson's Electronics - Electronics Repair Near Me - Truckee, California

I brought in a car stereo for them to install. Friendly, professional, they even preset time and a few stations. It was less than Best Buy way more convenient. Would recommend them. read more

Just feel ripped off. You'll get an experienced technician to come mount your TV to the wall, but at the price of $525????? Ouch.

I have been using Carlson Electronics for about seven years. We have car stereos installed by them and even had them design the entertainment/sound system in a new house we built. Excellent service by Matt and Glenn. The pricing on electronics is competitive but not the cheapest but they deliver it, install it and fix it - so the buck stops with them. Highly recommend them. read more

The team at Carlson Electronics is exceptional. Russ, the owner is all about good customer service, and Glen, his top technician can do ANYTHING. We live in the middle of nowhere off the grid and they got us all set up with a Verizon booster antenna, DISH satellite TV, and even an internet satellite. I'm online in the middle of the Tahoe National Forest miles from anything!! Amazing. These guys are the best and aren't we all lucky they are right there in Truckee? Thanks for taking good care of us all these years "Team Carlson!" read more

We brought in our old Sanyo projector that suddenly stopped working. After trying a few things out Russell has figured out what the problem was and fixed it. We were ready to give up on it, but very happy we can still use it. The fee was very reasonable. Highly recommend. read more

I was upgrading the TV systems in our Northstar Condo Lets say it is not my area of expertise but I wanted to do it I had to make numerous trips to Carlson's Their attitude never changed Every time I was greeted with a smile and a sincere How can we help you and they were very helpful Next time I will have Carlson do the entire project. read more

Carlsons electronics is a nice place, is always a clean looking store, and is local. I've been there to buy a few various wires, but have also bought a set of 4 matching 5 1/4 inch speakers for my jeep cherokee and they work great and with installation ran about 230$ total and also just today bought a jvc stereo deck from him for about 90$. Everytime I'm there I like it even if I'm spending part of my meagerly check and also he's attentive to me as a customer. I'm also teenager making only minimum wage (9$ a hour) and working 20 hours a week ontop of tryin to graduate, so he usually trys to cut me a deal and knocks off a few bucks off of the more expensive stuff I buy, granted he's not giving me a 50% deal, but every penny counts. I don't know if maybe I'm a sucker and he's just playin the roll of getting me a discount and trying to help, just so he can make a sale but I don't think so even though, even thought schemester car salesmen do it all the time. I truly beleive he's trying to help while still making sure he can make some money, because he has bills and a family to feed like everyone else. He seems though like a honest nice guy who will throw a little help out where he can. Even after that I said to save some money I might just install it my self(Reefer to the broke teenager part as to why.) he talked to me for a few minutes and told me how I should go about installing then even though it may have ment a few less bucks in his pockets then. read more
