I went to them to have a new radio installed in my car, the service was exceptionally fast and the owner was quite nice to talk to. The stereo sounds amazing. Thanks again sir. read more

The owner is an absolute quack, telling me that speakers imbedded in my car were the government listening to me.

My fiance took our car there and I'm the one who paid for it. obviously you are the one who needs to get a life. See you obviously have no business at your 3 star rated stereo business to have so much time to keep commenting on someone's review of your shitty business. Since you want to comment that my review is fake now I've attached the receipt. Clearly you are the one lying here. Came in with a stereo I had already installed but something was wrong it had no sound. Paid 230 for the guy to say everything was fine and that I needed to pay more to get the speakers hard wired to the stereo. I had already spent too much there so I declined having them hard wire them. the speakers didn't need to be hard wired at all there was just a short in the driver's side door speaker. And had they actually tried to figure out why there was no sound they would have figured out that was the problem. Waste of time and money. Definitely don't recommend taking your car here. read more

I was looking to up grade my 6x9 speakers and I went into Fallbrook Car Stereo n talked with the owner of the shop Nado, told him what I had and wanted a up grade to the DS18 6x9s. He didn't have them but was getting some in soon...so I asked him to let me know when he got them in..I say 2 days later Nado let me know he had them in. I came into the shop and bought them, Nado told me that I would love the sound and he was right.. I was driving by Fallbrook Car Stereo today and stopped in to ask for a quote on a amp for my car, Nado gave a price. It's a fair price. I asked Nado if he could look at my stereo system because the Bass wasn't hitting like I know it could...Nado said sure..He found the problem pretty fast...I had reversed the speak wires to my subs.My fault..Now it hits like it should..Asked him if I owed him anything and Nado said Nope all is good..Every time I speak with Nado seems like a good guy...Hasn't did anything wrong to me...If I need anything else I will definitely hit up Fallbrook Car Stereo.. read more

Update: Henado is still lying and denying selling low-quality crunch and GS products; all while having pictures of this sub par equipment in the photos section of his business. Henado continues to try and insult and belittle a former customer. A sad joke for a supposed professional. Low class and in bad taste. Thank you and god bless. read more

They give you a price and then change it for more. You can tell they're more concerned with making more money from you than trying to help you out. Really sad to see from a business in a small village. Better off going out of town for better service and prices. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!! read more

I have spent over $6,000 in the past 5 years on car stereo equipment, with Fallbrook Car Stereo. I had a full system installed in my sons truck on April 17th and spent well over $2,000 CASH. They Over tightened the connection from the amp to the battery and busted a brand-new battery, terminal. I only recently discovered it at the dealership and watched as the hood was opened and looked at by a sales guy. NO TOOL WAS PUT TO THE BATTERY BY ANYONE, BUT THE OWNER OF FALLBROOK CAR STEREO!!! We were only able to start it, because it was still partly making contact. I immediately called the owner of Fallbrook Car Stereo and let him know that he had busted the battery.. He first said," oh, I can fix it." I brought it to his store, and he was rude and aggressive saying he did not cause the damage!!I had to buy a new battery for $218 and he could care less about busting my battery!! Fallbrook Car Stereo is downtown Fallbrook, and a small town. I was warned about their bad customer service but thought they would be cool and pay me for the battery they broke, but they were just rude and did not care that I had been a repeat customer for many years calling me a liar!! I have spent thousands of dollars in CASH over the years, and they lost a customer by not doing the right thing and buying me a new battery. They do not stand by their work. This is the first time I have made a review on Yelp, but i felt this work Customer service was TERRIABLE! read more

Called for a repair for my old outside speakers and he had told me the coils were going bad when i stopped by and the speakers that were installed werent the proper ones so he recommended me some 6.5 kenwood speakers for the outside made to absorb water and dirt and particles 100% recommend this buisness. read more

Fallbrook Car Stereo & Tinting - Car Stereo Installation Near Me - Fallbrook, California

Hello community. Avoid, run away, don't even bother with this business, unless you love to throw money away. Missquotes estimates, adds $300 claiming 'forgot' to add this, 'forgot' to add that, right---forgot how to install stereos is more like it. Does not know how to install modern stereos into cars, maybe in the 70's, not these days; doesn't know how to adjust source line levels to avoid blowing out speakers. Told me the customer, oh yes sir, the new stereo is VERY LOUD, sure it is, you blew the speakers out Einstein. Claims the speakers are annunciating just fine, however, they sound like KAZOOs lol, you know the PAPER kind. Advised me, a sound engineer, that you just need to EQ the higher frequencies out LOL! Buddy, that is the same thing as turing the tweeters OFF. Get over yourself, your ego, and your thievery. Never have I seen such bald face liers in my life! Nothing more than a pocket thief. There is a very special place in the afterlife for these two. When the owners denies this review, just disregard him. It is for Fallbrook Car Stereo & Tinting, there were no other parts other than what this business sold to me, cheap parts that do not work properly and yes, I was a customer there. An amazing charlatan. This is exactly why small business is going down the tubes in this state. Understand this business is built on risk, his risk is low, his profits huge. The only risk he has is customers annoying him about the bad service and products, other than that, he avoids responsiblity, and he is not concerned about unsatisfied customers. By sizing customers up, he believes he knows which ones are rubes. Take my advice, don't take that ride. read more

Fallbrook stereo and tint did a great job on my truck! They were open and very accommodating to my questions and requests. I would recommend them to anyone and will be back with my other cars for sure! read more

This place is a joke! ....all ten windows and moonroof! Had nothing but air bubbles and dirt everywhere ! Plus they did my brother car....and they put the new window tint on the old window tint! Instead of pulling off the old tint " . Who dose that! So lame! Yes" they said it has a ten year warranty " but when I bring it back they said here's a refund instead! How is this place even in business when that's how you operate .. I should have turned around and walked out when they had other customers complaining how bad there tint job was...yes they gave me my money back.... read more

I was scammed, and assaulted!! After being ripped off I was harassed by all employees. I am a 20 year old young man, and there was so much done wrong this day. I was so excited to get my car stereo done "professionally" and my windows tinted too! We discussed on the phone the night before that it would be ONLY 350$ for my car stereo rewired, and my 2 windows tinted. Keep in mind we described which windows I wanted tinted (2 front doors). When I showed up for my 10 am appointment, the employee told me he had no idea what appointment I was talking about, then I asked for the owner, which was the guy I talked to. He said something like "oh yeah I remember you, just sign this and we'll get started on your car it'll be done in about 2 hours" with a smile on his face. 2 hours later they call me saying my back speakers need replacing. No problem! Bought the 2 speakers. So 2 more hours later they are done. I go to pick up the car, and notice they forgot the tinted windows. I'm thinking "No problem it'll just be cheaper, I can get the windows done another time I have to work soon" so basically I go in and he tells me it's 416$ just for the radio rewired and the 2 cheap speakers I bought. I said what about the windows and he said "we never talked about windows, I have no idea what your talking about." I told him how would you forget a conversation we had last night. And he proceeded to lie. After being repetitively talked over without being able to make my point. I finally said "look dude you told me 350$ last night for everything done the windows and stereo redone, now it's 416 for just the stereo? He kept making excuses, so I just payed because I didn't want any trouble, I got in my car and tested the new radio wiring, and it sounded horrible I went back in and asked for a refund and for them to take it apart, and real smug he said "a refund" proceeding to sarcastically laugh and joke when I'm upset. He kept raising his voice over mine so I finally stood up for myself and called him out on his BS, I feel like if he was an honest dude he would've fixed my problem but as I was leaving the store accepting the fact I just got scammed, he screams at the top of his lungs "GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY STORE" and proceeded to push me with both hands causing me to stumble back a few steps. Then he got a crazy look in his eyes and screamed "YOU WANNA HIT ME? HIT MEEE" I thought it was very childish for a grown adult to act like this. Very calmly I responded "I'm not gonna hit you dude, your the one acting crazy, I'm just mad this sounds like crap" and he kept getting in my face and his employees all surrounded me and my car door telling me to "get the fuck out of here" calling me names, like bum, drug addict, calling my car trash, yanking on my door handle telling me to leave as they block my car door. While they continue to harass me and step up into my face I tell them "get out of my face" "leave me alone" " quit blocking my door so I can leave" they keep being threatening and the owner stepped into my face very closely again, and stepped on my foot, so I reacted and pushed him off my foot. They finally started retreated after saying things about my parents, calling me a drug addict, all sorts of horrible things, all I said was my car stereo sounds bad. I calmed myself down and I left. My dad passed away at 7 years old most people won't ever understand my life. The way he talked about my parents just doesn't sit right with me. Only being 20 years old. I'm very proud of myself for keeping my hands to myself, and handling this and maturely as I could. I hope justice is served. There were even pencil marks on my arms, and I was very upset and distressed with such a chaotic event. I'm just glad everyone's ok, but I hope there is a consequence for what happened to me. It could've been handled a lot better. Not to mention I was scammed. Somebody please help me. The 2 speakers I bought from them already blew! I am disgusted with the owner of this business. read more

These guys are great. I was referred to them by O'Rielly's Auto Parts for advice on a problem with my headlights, because the wiring to the bulb had been altered. I bought my Jeep, used, two months ago and one of the headlights was burned out. They explained what to do so I could attach the new bulb without having to reconfigure anything, and it worked. Thank you, gentlemen, for taking the time to help me resolve my problem. read more

Fallbrook Car Stereo & Tinting - Large gap from tint. Definitely not seamless. This is in all of my windows!!! - Car Stereo Installation Near Me - Fallbrook, California

I made a $1200.00 purchase of car stereo system with what I was told had XM capability and Backup camera to be installed in my son's truck for his 17th birthday. The purchase was at approximately 12:15. I was told by the owner that it would be completed within a couple of hours, he would "put two guys on it" and "call me". At approximately 3:15 I returned having used sick time to leave work early only to find that my son's truck was still apart, no stereo installed and the installer worked on the wiring to the tailgate. I asked him how much longer and he said about an hour. I walked over to Major market to do a little shopping and kill some time. Upon my return approximately 45 minutes later the gentleman still didn't have the stereo installed and said it would be another hour. I sat on the side of the building attempting to get some shade and waiting for an additional 30 minutes until I was approached by the owner's son. He was very polite and informed me that the stereo that I selected didn't have XM capability and the other alternatives were $100.00 and $149.00 additional dollars. I was upset to say the least. At no time was I disrespectful nor did I use any vulgarity. I explained to the son what I was promised and they fell way short and it was insulting. My suggestion was that they pay the difference for what I had to endure so far. He called his father and without hesitation he said that if I chose not to pay for one of the other stereos that he would have everything pulled everything and refund my money. I sensed a bate and switch and refused to be a victim and had them pull everything out. The only thing that went according to their statement was that I received a refund. I will use every resource available to ensure that this business is exposed. I am a Marine Veteran and Senior Vice Commander of the VFW District 3 that covers all of Riverside County. I will ensure that they all are informed of this establishment and that includes the VFW in Facebook. read more

We had our sons audio work done here. After pricing out shops in Murrieta/Temecula area found a great deal and helped support a small family business. They did an amazing job, were done an extremely quick time, performed very clean work and everything was attached back in place like no one had previously worked on it. They were extremely knowledgeable and explained the work afterwards as well. Would definitely return back for future work to other vehicles as well! Always will support great businesses in the community, Thanks fellas read more

We took our Hummer in to have a train horn installed. We were quoted $900.00 over the phone. We gave a deposit of $450.00. My husband also asked if a front light could be replaced to which they said they would check. We received a call that they ordered the wrong horn but did some work and couldn't install the light. We picked the Hummer up as they said it would be a week or so before the part would be in for the horn. After examining the car they had cracked the current assembly for the light. They also jacked up the install for horn connecting directly to battery-staying on all the time - draining the battery. We didn't go back.. And never will. Ohhh and for checking if they could install light they tried to charge another $600 though they did nothing to except break our assembly and tell us they couldn't install replacement light. BAD.. all the way around! read more

One of my wires connecting my sub broke and they fixed it quick and easy! Got all my sound back for a good price and eveything went smoothly! read more

My friend recommended this place to me and I wasn't disappointed one bit. If you ever need your subs installed, this is the place to go. I brought my own amp and wiring and they helped me pick out a box and sub that would fit my trunk and liking. There are a good amount of boxes, subs, and amps that you can choose from. The prices for them and installation are fair. They are easy to work with, costumer friendly, and military friendly. Steve did a excellent job installing my sub and is knowledgeable about his job. The installation took about 1.5 hour to get it all installed. Keep up the good work Nado and Steve! read more

Stay away from this place! I brought my 2 day old truck in for tint and they left duct tape adhesive all over my door panels and the felt part of the window seals. I stopped their work before they even finished the first window, after I saw how poor their workmanship was. I said I would take my business elsewhere and they ripped the duct tape off with no concern for a brand new vehicle. The owner then lost his mind and began cussing, saying he now owns my truck and he called the police to have them confiscate my truck. He then hit my tailgate with his clipboard. I ended up paying them full price, just to get this overgrown child off my back, and they refused to remove the adhesive. Both father and son are pathetic. Based off of their other reviews, I fully expect them to reply to this review with lies and trying to bash me for their shoddy practices read more

If there was a MINUS star rating that's what these guys would get. DON'T go to this place. I took my 2018 Honda Civic sport there to have the windows tinted. they tinted the four windows but did not tint the rear window Jr said it was impossible to tent due to the spoiler. I noticed lots of bubbles and specs in the window tint. I questioned, and they advised the bubbles would go away within a week or two. Fast-forward 6 months...Bubbles never went away I went into the shop spoke with the dad the owner explained and showed him my windows. His response was we cannot control the environment elements. We window tint outside and that is dust particles that you see Specs. " There is nothing we can do about that". "We cannot control the dust". Dissatisfied and disgusted, I said I want the tint removed. this funny cat wanted to charge extra to have the crap tint job removed. I Just moved here from Las Vegas, Nv. no way would any company get away with those business tactics in Vegas. They would get eaten up alive. Moral of the story is these two guys are horrible at this line of work, and don't know what they're doing. at a minimum, they should avoid tinting outside all well-knowing the consequences of these alleged dust particles.are l in window tint, and should NOT be window tinting outside when they know this from the get go( but won't make mention of it to the customer) Lesson learned. People please avoid this place. Don't try to save a dollar or two. Because these folks charge the exact same prices as the larger companies do. "Tintman"in Escondido was top notch. Professional, guaranteed their work, and did it in a timely matter. They even tinted the rear window that Jr said was impossible. And he did it all within about 40 mins while I waited. It's a good thing I'm much older, and nicer these days. A younger me probably would have handled these scammers alot different back in the day. R. Reff, Fallbrook, Ca. read more

Fallbrook Car Stereo & Tinting - Wrx front sun visor tint (Finished product) - Car Stereo Installation Near Me - Fallbrook, California

Wow what a complete disappointment this shop is. I stopped by today to ask if I could buy a stereo removal tool for my factory installed Sony radio. The guy working there must think his customers are complete dummies. He told me "Only licensed Installers are allowed to have those". What utter non-sense! I can buy the tool on Amazon for less than $3 and have it delivered to my front door at home by Saturday. Now he can go back to squeegeeing air bubbles out of his window tint gig. Got a license for that too do ya? read more

great customer service ! great people !! I drive from Escondido because it's the only place I trust.

What an unpleasant surprise I had when I happened to see the Amazon price for the Sirius Onyx Plus they installed for $204.98. Turns out the unit costs on Amazon about $50 and they charged me $150 plus $85 labor to install it. Plus Blue Feather kept telling me how lucky I was that he got it on special order for me. We had a car radio installed by them last year and I thought at the time it was pricey. Now I know how they do business. read more

Best Audio in town, Nice, Honest and loyal. Would never anywhere else. They also do cart tinting.

Have taken 2 cars and 2 motorcycles there, owner is friendly and seems to be helpful...... just be aware of all pricing...... was quoted a price for a Apple play radio with steering wheel controls, dropped car off and had a Jensen radio installed with no steering wheel controls or apple play...... my fault for not checking when I received it but I would caution future customers to make sure they are getting quoted for what they actually get..... also had motorcycle speakers installed on one of my bikes that I was told was the best out there..... could not here the over 50 mph...... was charged 250 bucks for them and found them on amazon for about 50....... again, and should've looked around but buyer beware! They were helpful in giving a ride home and picking up when done so you didn't have to wait! And the tint jobs were great! And fair priced! In response to the owners comment..... I was never offered any type of recompense....... and the signed business card that had stereo controls included in the price was not honored...... it's too bad because I thought they had been the kind of people you don't have to worry about and question....... there are plenty of shops around that do quality work and honor their word..... just have to drive to oceanside now to get my stereo work done! Be careful! read more

I cant recommend this place enough, both Nado and Steve are amazing. I had purchased a light bar from amazon and contacted a few places for the actual install. Most places were rude and refused to install because I had not purchased the equipment from them or they were extremely overpriced. That was not the case at Fallbrook Car Stereo and Tinting. I could not be happy with the install as well as I had a few questions after leaving the shop after the install and I called in talked to Nado, he answered all my questions and said that if I needed any more help not to hesitate to call or swing by the shop. This is the type of customer service that will have me a customer for life as well as a business that I will refer all my friends and family to. Keep up the Great Work Nado and Steve!!!! read more

If I could rate them 6 stars I would. The owner was very knowledgeable about his products and extremely helpful. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an upgrade on their audio system! read more

Would have given Zero stars if it let me. This shop destroyed my car in many ways. First off I had them install an alarm and they drilled 5 holes in my engine bay to mount a simple alarm horn and they did so in the worst place possible. Now I still have 5 holes right where I had moved my car battery to have a show quality engine bay. They also used very poor connectors that came undone and left me stranded for an hour before I personally sourced his bad wiring out myself. Next they were to install 2 door speakers in which they actually did with no issue (luckily I didn't have them cut my door panels for this) but the problem was they did so out in the rain and I had 2" of water in my trunk along with wet carpet ( where my battery is located, mind blowing). Next Nado was to install a subwoofer under my driver seat while doing so he then lost one of my seat bolts while poorly installing a subwoofer with self tapping screws to not only hold the brackets (screwing into the brand new sub that I just purchased from him, along with drilling through my floor of my car. He then used a micro fiber towel under the subwoofer to stop the vibration from the horrible install mounted by self tapping screws that actually were not able to screw in all the way causing the brackets to be loose and vibrate (why he didn't use the actual screws that came with the sub along with the brackets is beyond me and sound deadening material would also be ideal rather than a towel) he then tried bolting my seat back in with another bolt in which he took from a different location/spot inside my car. He also screwed 3 more holes into my center console in plain site and in the way of my knee while driving to mount a bass control knob that he should have for sure asked me where I wanted it first. He also ran the power wire back to my trunk where my battery is located outside of the carpet knowing I had removed panels for him to tuck it under. I literally can't comprehend the incompetence and lack of quality from this one time visit. I would highly not recommend doing business with this shop. read more

Had the windows tinted on my Forester and it turned out great. Even though they were busy, they made sure to get me in and out as fast as they could. Overall, great shop that does awesome work in a super timely manner. Everyone there is friendly and the prices are totally fair. Would definitely go back for other work and would recommend this place to anyone. read more

Father and son business in Fallbrook. Highly recommend. Had my new car's driver/passenger windows tinted and a sun strip on front windshiedld. Very thorough and weren't trying to rush, pricing was fair and it came out great! a plus is that they are local and have been there a long time. read more

This is, by far, THE WORST car stereo place I have ever been to. BEWARE! They sell cheap made JUNK and call it "quality". I had to take my car back multiple times and the stereo/amp/speakers kept failing. I even took my car to my mechanic for routine maintenance, and a second opinion, (he is a licensed repair shop that I have been going to for 15+ yrs) and three of his techs said the wiring job was so bad that it was seriously in danger of causing a car fire!! They had to rewire the whole thing and it cost me over $100 just for that. Car Stereo & Installs (aka - Old Town Car Stereo) have caused me massive headaches.I have been forced to go somewhere else because these uneducated clowns don't know what they are doing, and sell low quality (faulty) parts at a top price. They replaced one bad amp for another and then tried to blame it on me! I am a reasonable person who commends good things when they happen, but this has been a terrible experience. If you are looking for a car stereo shop I suggest you look elsewhere. read more

BEWARE! This place is terrible. Check their Google Reviews here: https://plus.google.com/108358604207834570000/about?hl=en They have SO many bad reviews it's crazy. This place uses CHEAP wire, CHEAP parts, CHEAP equipment, and will not cover you when the parts fail. They will just try to up-sell you in order to get more money out of you! I took my truck here and the stereo kept failing. They tried to blame me for it! I was sold a different stereo/amp and those started failing too! I then took my truck to a different shop (a far more professional one), and they had to rewire the entire thing! They said the wires these guys used was absolute junk. And get this, the new place (in Temecula) told me that they have at least 1-3 people per week coming into their shop to re-do the crappy job that "Car Stereo & Installs" did in Fallbrook. They also told me that they know this "Nado" guy, who owns "Car Stereo" and that he has quite a bad reputation - that he has moved his shop several times because he does terrible work and winds up having to leave the area! Do yourself a BIG favor and stay away from this place. read more
