It's easy baby. They're not going to upsell you. If you're just looking to replace some blown stock speakers then they're going to recommend a similar after market option. But you can always upgrade. Upgrades are their bread and butter. They've got a modest show room but can make most dreams come true. Custom fits and special projects won't stop them from saying yes to the reckless. I never asked for his name but the guy with the glasses is cool, professional and polite. I'm a fan... read more

My car (Cadillac) had a spiderweb cracked touch screen on the main control panel. Cadillac won't recall it, and quoted $1500 for replacement. No thank you. I searched and found Freeman's. The quote I received was $250, plus labor and tax. Yes! Sign me up! I brought the car in on a Thursday and the removed the entire center unit . I wasn't expecting that. The unit controlled the heat, housed the backup camera and radio. I definitely didn't think this through, it's winter! My unit was ready exactly a week later, it was installed quickly. It looks and works great. My total was around $420. A fraction of what the dealership quoted. I'll definitely be back, they offer tinting services, I may check that out. read more

Freeman's is simply the best! Robert and team listen and offer the right solution for your car audio needs. I inherited my mother's 2008 Lexus RX350 with factory cassette player and disc player. Robert upgraded us to a beautiful Kenwood system with Apple CarPlay and HD radio, both wireless and wired capabilities. The work to reinvigorate the dashboard was beautiful and looks like it was designed for the car! I plan to drive this automotive memorial to my mother for another 140k miles and the Kenwood system will be with me for every mile. Thank you Robert and Freeman's! read more

The team installed a new head unit in my CRV. Looks great and they did it real quick. Don't spend a day and a half installing it yourself, just bring it here and let the professionals do it right. read more

Robert Yates is an expert on car stereo and installation. I had an installation from October that was working perfectly and it developed a very unusual GPS problem with CarPlay. Robert knew what to do and swapped out the unit without hesitation. It fixed my problem in my classic 2005 Lexus SC430. Beautiful installation and now everything is back work just as it did before!! thanks to Robert for all of his help and expertise!! read more

Been relying on them for years. They worked on several of my cars and trucks, radios, speakers, navigation systems, parking sensers, cameras, the works. They do a great job everyday read more

Customer service was awesome. These guys did a great job in helping me find the right head unit for my Tundra. Installed it perfectly, advised me on whether I need new speakers or not. Turns out I didn't and the music is clear. It is easy to see why they have been in business a long time. I want to say thank you for all you do. Go here and get your stuff done. read more

Wonderful quick service. Very friendly and professional technicians. My 1999 vehicle was upgraded with a brand new car radio. I now have Bluetooth, CD player, Alexa connections and many extra features my car has never seen. I felt safe with the social distancing regulation's being enforced. The installations only took 1 hour to complete. I'm very happy, now I'm going to drive this car more just to listen to my radio (more like, play with my radio) read more

Repeat customer here... Had Pioneer dashcam installed in our car, and had such a great experience I took our second car in for the same. Small problem with the initial install with an errant wire, but fixed on subsequent visit. Professional, prompt, and reasonably priced for a good installation. Highly recommended! read more

Great service and product. We arrived about 20 minutes before closing and we made the purchase to follow up with the next week. They installed and had us out within that we are grateful. read more

I love that the staff knows their business. I asked a few questions upon arrival and received detailed answers and more. I knew immediately that I was in good hands. I arrived and was checked in as they were expecting me for my appointment. The requested work (camera installation) was completed as requested. There was a small glitch when I arrived for pick-up. They promised to call me as soon as an adequate, implementable answer was received. I recommend this business for your car stereo, under carriage lighting, and camera needs. I will definitely return when I need something more added to my vehicle. And, most importantly, their prices were the best that I was quoted! I love it when I get what I paid for with great knowledge and service. read more

Robert Yates went above the call of duty, when it comes to audio you can tell this is his true love and passion . When others couldn't do it, he stepped up to the task. Another audio store completely messed up my wiring harness , he jumped in and got it going. If you are in the Charlotte area look no further!!!! read more

I called in to get a quote on upgrading my stereo system. After a couple seconds of talking, I was put on hold so he could take another call. I hung up after more than ten minutes on hold. They obviously have the time to talk, but not to me apparently. read more

I brought my son's car here to have the radio replaced and they did an amazing job at a reasonable price. The speakers stopped working within the same week. We called Freeman's and they asked us to bring it back. We took it back and they fixed everything perfectly at no extra cost. I highly recommend them!!! read more

I had Freeman's install a touch screen stereo with a back up camera in my 2009 BMW 135i. Joel sold me exactly what I needed and Rinat did a fabulous job with the installation. I highly recommend them for your stereo needs. The service is amazing and the staff is all really nice, helpful and easy to work with. read more

Friendly, fast and chocked full of quality educational advice. will bring my next car in as we'll for a stereo upgrade. read more

Freeman's Car Stereo did a fantastic job installing a Pioneer CarPlay Deck and four Rockford Fosgate speakers in my 4Runner. I purchased all components online due to a shortage of car stereo systems everywhere. I also bought a Sirius XM receiver from Freeman. The store manager, Robert, is very knowledgeable and his installers are very skilled. I ended up returning to the shop to get a JVC CarPlay Deck, with steering wheel controls, and a backup camera in my daughter's car - same result - they did a fantastic job at a very fair price! Highly recommend! read more

Highly recommend going to Freeman's. We needed to update the car stereo system to allow streaming & phone calls via Bluetooth. We'd already purchased the equipment & scheduled the installation with a big box store but called Freeman on a whim. They took the time to ask what we were trying to accomplish & ended up being able to do the install & save us $150 (plus whatever else the big box store was going to damage along the way). Thank you Robert! read more

I accidentally damaged the front sensors on my Kia Sorento. I tried to get it fixed at a Kia dealership, but they were weeks out. Someone recommended Freeman's. I'm so happy they did! They were able to take me in just days and they fixed the problem so promptly and efficiently. I had neglected to get a quote and when I picked up the car I was pleasantly surprised. Ownership and employees were great. Highly recommend. read more

Freeman's Car Stereo's staff was very knowledgeably and professional. They recommended a replacement car radio that met my needs, and they provided outstanding customer service. If you have car electronic needs, look no further than Freeman's Car Stereo. read more

I was there about a week ago had some speakers installed and a small amp tv taking down they do clean work and it's affordable.

Excellent service and install. Took the time to educate me on my options, gave suggestions but never tried to simply up sell me. I am glad I used them for the purchase and install. read more

Update - Sorry had to downgrade from 5 to 3 stars because the ceiling air vent cover fell off. Upon inspection it seems whoever did the work ripped it down with the liner and basically broke it. So instead of buying a replacement part, they used a black substance in attempts to glue it back. Bad move. A professional installation shop would not break something and just glue it back. Further, a reputable installer would know how to bring down a liner without damaging air vent covers. This is so disappointing as my initial review was glowing. I went to the dealer and bought the part and installed it myself. The other items work well but this one flaw will define how I view the place... Excellent work! I bought a used car and it had an irritating rattle inside the headliner. The dealer said the repair would be coat prohibited and on several car forums my issue was common but extremely difficult and expense to fix. I explained my case to Chin at this location and was extremely grateful for his honest and professional approach. They finished the work and absolutely no rattles! I was so pleased I had then install the Dynamat on all four doors and even had an XM module installed. Best of all, THEY DID THE WORK RIGHT YHE FIRST TIME. I can't tell you how many times I've had work done at other stereo stores and had to take it back because I heard rattles after the install or found broken clips or other annoyances. To top it off, they finished the work a day ahead of schedule! I'm definitely going back and telling all my friends. read more

Edit: I'm lowering this review from 5-stars to 3-stars. I wrote the original review prematurely. After having been around inside my car a bit I have noticed broken rivets & clips and pieces of carpet were never put back where they should have been. Also, many leftover pieces of wire and debris were left in the crevices and sides of the seat. My biggest issue is every time I turn my car on I hear a pop come from the JL subwoofer that was bought and installed at Freeman's. I brought this up to Joel (manager) and he told me to turn my stereo off before I turn the car off but the pop just returned when I turn the stereo on. I'm having to get these issues fixed elsewhere. Other than what I just mentioned everything else was done well and done just as I had requested. ______________________________________________ I would recommend Freeman's to anyone. I worked with Joel during my experience there and he was very helpful and a straight shooter with me. I called in one day and spoke to him about my issue and he briefly discussed over the phone then told me to come into to discuss further. I drove up there and he explained and demonstrated the difference of sound with various equipment. This was very helpful and informative in my decision of what equipment I was going to need. I had him make me up a quote, everything was priced great. I compared his pricing with online retailers. His original quote contained the same price for the sub on Crutchfield. Then I spoke to him again and I asked him to match Crutchfield price for the amplifier and he was able to go lower than Crutchfield. Install price was very very reasonable compared to a few other places I looked up. My total invoice when I paid came in $5 less than my quote which I was very pleased about, no extra nonsense added later. Install was great. I had a few minor requests which Joel didn't hesitate to tell me they could accomplish. I didn't notice any broken parts of anything from installation. Everything looks like it did when I dropped my car off, except when you turn up the volume! Sounded exactly the way I had described to Joel what I was looking for. One of my favorite parts was the bass control knob placement. I had only expected it to be up under the dash, but what they did was awesome. They were able to place it on the center console of my Jeep Wrangler in a vacant spot under the arm rest that makes it look as if the knob was OEM. Such a cool added feature and I've realized how much more convenient it is. Again, I would recommend Freeman's. read more

I had a back up camera installed and it was the smoothest, cleanest deal I've ever made! Robert was quick to return my initial call with very concise information regarding the equipment needed and the exact costs to perform the installation. I took the car in at the time arranged and several hours later I was called to pick it up. It works perfectly! I am happy with the equipment, the service and the professional manner in which the entire deal was made and executed! read more

Great service and reasonable price in assisting with replacing my CUE screen for my SUV. Robert and Jason were both awesome in assisting me!

Very impressed with Freeman's Car Stereo on South Blvd. I called ahead, and they gladly fit me in within the next hour. Everyone was super polite and professional. Not even 45 minutes later my speakers were installed and ready to go. They sounds phenomenal! Thank you Freeman! read more

I order from this company on eBay and they advertised one product but sent something completely different. When i contacted them about it they said to contact eBay to get a refund. I will never do business with them again and highly recommend you don't either unless you want to get ripped off. read more

About two months ago I went there and bought a subwoofer. They installed it very quickly and it sounded amazing. About a month ago I blew a speaker and went to buy front speakers. I thought I could install it myself but there where a lot of other steps left out of the YouTube videos I had watched. Brought the car over to Freeman's and the manager Robert Yates helped out a ton with some advice and tips and helped show me how to install it. If you need any speakers installed 100% go to Freeman's car and stereo and talk to Robert. He is one of the most helpful people out there. read more

Great team at Freeman's, if you're building your own or need professional installation, these folks are the best I've ever come across. No high pressure sales, just honest folks that look to treat all customers like I believe they'd want to be treated. read more

We had an excellent experience with Freeman's car stereo! I spoke to Joel over the phone to schedule an appointment to have my Bose amp replaced- he gave me quote over the phone as well- we showed up for our appointment and everything went just as he said..after reading some negative reviews I was hesitant, but my dealership recommended them and growing up in the Queen City and knowing they have been in business since I was in elementary school 30+ years ago-went with it! Being part of a small business I have learned that negative reviews sometimes are from difficult people who would rather hurt a business than resolve an issue- we will be returning to have an installation in my husbands 66 Mustang! Thanks to everyone at Freeman's Car stereo for exceeding our expectations! read more

I've done business with the guys at FCS for many years and NEVER been unhappy with their excellent customer service...I wouldn't think of going anywhere else...and neither should you! I've bought several car stereo systems there over the years and occasionally pop in for a scratchy sounding speaker & other random issues without an appointment..one of the guys will always come out & do a look see, & will almost always fix it on the spot! Robert & Mikey always provide outstanding customer service! read more

I had a new GPS, Bluetooth and radio system installed and am very pleased with the work and customer service!

Thank you, Robert and everyone that worked on my car!! read more

Jason and Roger provided excellent service...and they're very military friendly. I would definitely return. Thank you gentlemen!

Robert and his team took great care of me when repairing my car back up camera. The team was able to identify the issue and resolve it for a low cost option. The team could have taken advantage of me and oversold equipment that wasn't needed, however they were very upfront about the root cause of the issue and I was very pleased with the repair and the repair cost ! read more

I came to Freeman's to have Bluetooth installed in my Lexus. My first experience with them seemed great. However within 2 weeks of having the device installed it stopped working. From out of town, I returned to Freeman's to have it fixed. They merely reset the faulty device and set me out. Within 24 hours the device had stopped working again. Since I do not live in Charlotte, I had the device uninstalled at a dealership and then shipped it back to Freeman's after Seth and Sean (sp?), the manager and another employee said no problem we will give you a refund. However, without telling me, they did not refund the $105 labor charge. I understand this may be standard if someone decides they do not want something anymore but this Bluetooth device was a faulty from the beginning and they were 100% aware. I absolutely do not recommend doing business here seeing as they issue bad parts without any accountability and will not take care of their customers. read more
