    10/10 experience! My boyfriend's stereo was completely broken and wouldn't turn on at all. They installed a new one in less than 2 hours. The customer service was amazing. We definitely recommend this place!

    Called around for authorized Compustar dealers/installers and Angel @ Carpio Audio was one of the very first to respond. Gave me a quote (best one I got) over the phone and set up an appointment with him. He was very fast to respond to text messages and phone calls. Took my car in around 12:30 and I was out of there in around 3 hours. Had a Compustar alarm / remote start system with X1 Drone module. Everything was installed perfectly. He even integrated my factory fob to work with the system. I loved dealing with Angel, very honest and knowledgeable as he's been working on stereos and alarm systems for almost 2 decades. I would take my car/s to him again in the future. Angel, you've got yourself a new regular customer! Thanks again!

    Best Alarm & Audio Shop in the Bay Area! I got my car in for COMPUSTAR alarm & he did an excellent job at it-- down from hardware installation to wiring management. His prices are very reasonable as well! If you're looking for a shop, don't even think twice and go to him! 10/10 would come back (I actually will for a sub & amp install, btw the owner is such a genuine guy).

    Work in progress.

    Angel Carpio was very responsive, knowledgeable, helpful, fair, and honest. I recommend using this company.

    Angel did an amazing job with the aftermarket deck. His advice and recommendations were spot on, impeccable installation work and I have a great sounding deck in the car now.

    I first went to Guru Electronics Car Audio to upgrade the speakers and head unit for my 2014 Honda…read more Civic EX in November 2025. I was very amazed with the work they did. Sunny was very patient and informative. I love the new Apple CarPlay features my car now has and the better audio output. I later went back again last month, in January 2026, to get a newer, better dashcam (Wolfbox G900 Pro) to upgrade my old one, and I couldn't be happier. Even though the unit I received was faulty out of the box, Sunny just replaced it with all new parts and the problem was fixed. I also had a weird issue where one of the speakers was making a rattling noise, but it turned out to be just a loose screw, which was a quick and easy fix. They even added some sound-deadening material at no cost to me, and it sounds even better than before. I highly recommend this business. They have top-notch customer service; they truly care and have passion for what they do. I will return at a later time to possibly get a subwoofer for my car and maybe other things! This place will not disappoint.

    TLDR: Make sure to go inside and around the right for Guru (the owner)…read more The actual labor and installation of the audio is 5 stars. Customer Service is 2 stars... it needs a lot of work. I didn't know what to expect coming here... I waited at the front of the garage for about 15 minutes. There was a guy smirking in the front, doing something with cables, 2 other people working on a car, and another guy going in and out doing some kinda repair work on a truck outside. None of them said hi to me. But I know they all saw me. It was very weird. Finally after about 10 minutes of waiting (I figured maybe the owner was on lunch, since this was about 1pm), I walked up to the smirking guy and asked if the owner was here. Then he just nodded and pointed to the right, which was a very small aisle BEHIND a big stack of boxes. It was very off-putting. But I was here, and I had a time crunch. The actual owner was nice... he asked about my car, and then showed me some models. I made a purchase, and he told me to come back in 2 hours. I walked to a nearby Carls Jr, about 7 mintues away. 2 hours later, right on the dot, I get a call to get my car, and they close sharp at 4:30p. The same guy who was walking in and out (remember fixing the truck), was the one who showed me how everything worked, helped me pair my phone. I paid about $950 after taxes. I don't know if that's a good deal, but everything works well, no scratches around the dash. If it weren't for the unwelcoming first impression, this would be a 5 star for me. I wanted to give them 3 stars, but this is clearly a small business owner. My hope is they read this and work on their welcoming attitude.

He's super nice welcoming and personable the service was extremely fast and efficient and the whole time I was waiting he chopped it up with me gave a little more insight on his own personal history and life and it was extremely insightful and entertaining. I definitely recommend this shop to everyone. Thank you Howard 5***** if I could give more stars I would I'll be seeing you again for the next service

We have one in our truck and apparently it is a good alarm we just needed it reset. He spent a great amount of time explaining the different features. What we thought was going to cost us $700. ended up being $250. He reset everything and added an additional safety device for the windows. He is I believe a one man show so if you call he might not pick up or if you leave a message you might not get a return call, it's hit or miss. He explained his Priority is working on the cars so you might be better off just stopping in if you are in a hurry. Honesty isn't always something you find and this man is honest

    In the context of this review, I would like to provide some background information. I had a friend…read morewho recently purchased an Alpine ILx509 halo head unit, AudioControl D-5.1300D Series 5-channel amplifier, and a JL Audio 10TW3-D4 10" subwoofer in a JL Stealth Box for his 2023 Toyota Pro. He had previously sold his 4Runner for an F250 and had all of these brand-new and almost plug-and-play components. There were a few Maestro units that I had to use to utilize some of the stock controls. Additionally, one item was defective and brand new, and they were able to get it warrantied. They also had to reflash my Maestro RR because it was specified to a JBL audio system and had to be a non-JBL system. Previously, I had upgraded the stock speakers with Focal all around. I visited CA Car Sounds and informed them about my requirements. It took a few trips to determine if I needed any additional components that were not already installed. They provided me with a quote, which was reasonable given the complexity of the work. They mentioned that they would need the vehicle for 1-2 days, which was acceptable to me. I wanted the work to be completed without any rush. My specific needs were to have the amplifier bolted to a plate under the passenger seat and to avoid bolting the amplifier to the floorboard if possible. I also wanted to use the same SiriusXM stock antenna on my vehicle and retain my stock microphone as well as the steering wheel controls. I was somewhat apprehensive about how the setup would sound, but I was assured by Raymond, Austin, and others that I would not be disappointed with the Stealth box and the subwoofer. When I picked up my vehicle, Raymond accompanied me through the controls and demonstrated how it sounded. I was thoroughly satisfied. Everything looked and sounded excellent. They met my needs and addressed my concerns. The quality of work they put into customers' cars is exceptional. I would like to say thank you to Raymond, Austin and their installers

    I worked with California Car Sounds to plan an installation of Focal speakers in my truck. We…read morediscussed the setup in advance and agreed on a specific product and installation plan. When I dropped the truck off and later picked it up, I was told after the fact that they had installed a completely different set of speakers because the Focal speakers I had purchased were back ordered by about a week. Instead of calling or texting to ask whether I wanted to wait or reschedule, the shop decided on its own to install a different brand and type of speaker without my consent. This is not acceptable. As a result, I had them remove everything and return the truck to stock. My weekend was spent shuttling the truck back and forth, the door panels were removed twice, and I am left exactly where I started weeks ago except with wasted time and frustration. What is hardest to understand is the decision making process. There was no phone call, text, or email before making a material change to the agreed upon work. Installing a different product without customer approval is baffling. Unfortunately, I will be taking my business elsewhere.
