Chris and Joe are both fantastic. This is the second stereo I've put in with these guys and they just get it done so well and they totally understand customer service. The quality of the installation is top-notch and they get it done when they say they're going to do it. If you need anything with the car or boat or truck stereo-wise these are the guys!! You got to go to them Kustom Kar audio!!!! read more

My problem wasn't solved but they tried a bunch of things and didn't charge me and suggested what else I might try. Very kind. Would be happy to use them in the future. read more

Took my Tesla style screen in to get installed called them on Tuesday and they got me in the next day. It took 2 hrs. The guys there were very friendly and good. They explained everything I needed to know about the stereo. Will for sure go back to them for future services read more

This is where you go. Been going here forever. I have literally taken every vehicle I own here and only here for the past 15 years or so. Yes I have been other places prior but not after. read more

Chris and his crew are second to none. I wanted a sub put under the back seats in my truck, and Chris walked me through a ton of different options. We landed on a smaller system that still hits hard and fits perfectly back there. We ordered the parts in person at his shop on Friday, May 2nd, and I had the truck back the same day I dropped it off on Thursday, May 8th. His attention to detail and quality craftsmanship are hard to find these days. If you ever need any audio work done on your vehicle, Chris at Kustom Kar Audio is the man to go to. read more

Chris and his teams have been working on my 1994 Miata's audio needs for decades. I needed a 12 year old amp replaced so decided to have him install a Miata specific sealed subwoofer box with JL Audio 8" sub in the passenger foot well. Great installation as usual, you can't even make out the sub box in the footwell unless you get into the car as a passenger. Fantastic sound after a bit of tweaking to integrate seamlessly them with my JL Audio door speakers. I bought all the parts and Chris quoted $460 for the work. Actual charge was $318. I highly recommend Kustom Kar Audio. read more

See all

Chris and his team at Kustom Car Audio are truly amazing! I originally had Chris upgrade the sound system in My GMC Yukon about two and a half years ago. It had recently developed a whine in one of the speakers and occasionally the sound would cut out completely. Basically a gremlin in the system. I called to schedule an appointment to see if they could fix the problem. I brought the car in and they kept the car for two days and went through everything to resolve the issues. When I went to pick up the truck, everything was fixed. Of course I was expecting to pay to resolve the problems because I didn't think they were related to the original installation since so much time had passed. Nope! Chris would not accept any payment and told me they stand by their work. This is the kind of business I want to support. Great people with integrity. I cannot recommend Kustom Kar Audio highly enough! I'll be back next time I need any high quality audio equipment installed in my car or boat. read more

These guys are great. I have my car alarm install here a couple years ago. They did a great job one day service. When I had an issue with the alarm. They told me bring it in and they took care of it real fast. Super knowledgeable and friendly. read more

Service rendered was above and beyond expected! Chris is a professional and knows how to please his customers. He listens to his customers' requests and needs, and filters his years of experience and knowledge into the equation to create a superior sound performance in your vehicle, as he did in mine. I now love driving my new used '02 4Runner because the sound system and stereo are excellent. He extended his courtesy to help me fix a Gobi ladder installation on my Toyota 4Runner that I had placed crooked. He spent a couple of his hours helping me reinstall the ladder, which now looks amazing and is sturdy, sound, straight, and quiet. Chris and his team provide exceptional customer care that far exceeds their superb car/boat audio installations. I highly recommend Kustom Kar Audio for all of your audio installation needs. A++ read more

Can't say enough about these guys. I went in with a box (shitbox) of lower level Crutchfield items with a plan and quickly returned my order back to Crutchfield. Chris and Joe worked with me on building what I can say, is the best sounding system I've ever owned. I now love driving again. I had a battery issue once I left the store that left me stranded on the side of the road. Chris went out and bought batteries for my truck and drove to my location after hours in the dark to help get me up and running. Stayed with me until the tow truck arrived. Solid customer service beyond what you get these days. Joe rewired the things I wanted cleaned up under the hood and made a custom bracket for my new additions. Super clean and efficient now. Both Chris and Joe know their jobs. Highly recommend. read more

Friendly, honest, quick customer service. Recommend these guys for mobile audio needs.

Chris and his wonderful mechanic installed my EBAY acquired CD player to replace my broken one in my 2006 Toyota Corolla. Words cannot express how happy I am with the service they offered and I can play my cd's again. I am delighted to recommend Kustom Kar Audio.... worth the drive all the way from Novato. Check them out! read more

Great service and prices. They were incredibly helpful and delivered when they said they would and even though they ran into some unexpected issues they kept at it until my stereo was working exactly as it should. I will definitely back (my second car is already scheduled). read more

If I could summarize my experience with Kustom Kar; unnfriendly phone service, hard to communicate with, and overpriced. After a short phone call I knew this was a work I should do myself and I thank them for that. read more

I needed my backup camera replaced on my truck Great experience start to finish I made appointment I was quoted price. Couldn't have worked out any better, honest and fair place I highly recommend. read more

Chris provides great service, and fantastic end results. I was satisfied with every single aspect of my experience doing business with Chris. Must mention Joe, and his skills. I caused a little snafu post install and these guys took care of it. So impressed with the quick turnaround, plus the great quality work and worth every penny. I'll never go anywhere else, and neither will my friends as long as I know they need a stereo system or security. Will be back soon for remote start for my wife's Audi. Thank you gentlemen. read more

Owner operated. Chris is responsive, friendly and helpful. Quick turnaround too. Love my new deck and speakers. Thank you Chris! read more

Amazing service and great quality work. I had Chris and his crew install a great sound system in my car about 4 years ago. Recently I had an issue with that system ( through no fault of anyone at Kustom) and took it back to Kustom. Chris, the owner took care of everything in a professional manner. Needless to say, I wasn't surprised. I believe in the "mom and pop" shops, because I believe they genuinely care. If you want a quality, "Kustom" system for your auto, truck, RV, or boat, go see Chris and his crew at Kustom. They will take great care of you. read more

A few weeks ago my boyfriend and I were in search of a new sound system for his truck. We went to a few different places in Santa Rosa and Chris from Kustom Kar Audio sold us instantly. He heard what we wanted and gave us a few different price points and ideas of what we could do. Him and his team immediately jumped to action the moment we decided on what we wanted. The customer service that him and his team provided is what truly sold us and had us choose him over any other place we visited that day! 10/10 recommend and will return in the future! read more

I can't say enough about this business. I've been going to Kustom Kar Audio for over 18 years no and will go nowhere else. They have installed, fixed, replaced, and upgraded my boat stereo on several occasions and every contact has been outstanding. On several occasions I have had some minor issue and they have always taken care of me. Example: one of my tower speakers was not working and I couldn't figure it out. I talked with Chris ( the owner) although they were swamped with work he told me to bring it by the same day. They took the time to trouble shot the issue and fix it the same day. Awsome customer service, non better. i HIGHLY recommend this business. read more

Stopped by the shop today because I couldn't get my speakers in my Jeep to work. A gentleman came out and within 5 minutes diagnosed the issue and fixed it free of charge. Another local shop on the same street tried to sell me a new head unit, stating that was my problem. This is how you run a business and gain a customer for life. Kustom Kar Audio is my new go to spot! read more

Glad to be doing with a local company. First of all, I wasn't looking to put a show system in my little car. I just wanted a little better sound than I had with the aftermarket unit installed before I bought the car. I also wanted Bluetooth connection and make the steering wheel controls work again. I even considered upgrading the two speakers that are the only speakers that fit. Again, very small car. Joe told me not to upgrade the speakers until I've had the new Alpine in for a while then let him know if I still wanted to upgrade the speakers. When I called to schedule the install, I was told that the Alpine was on sale! Saved another $50!! Awesome! They didn't have to tell me that nor pass the savings on to me. What a stand up place for doing the right thing. I was informed that the microphone placement would have to be lower than most cars so that it would pick up less wind noise when the top is down. Good call. Clear conversations even with the top down! Car was done well within the time promised and they even kept my baby inside, in the shade, until I got there. Very considerate for sure seeing as there were a ton of trucks and SUV's in the parking lot. My car can get lost in a sea of bigger vehicles for sure. I don't need to upgrade the speakers, as Joe has suggested might be the case. I may end up doing it anyways just because of the up front and honest service that Joe gave. Definitely the right place to go for your audio needs! read more

Don't sleep on these guys. They'll make magic come out of your speakers. They're the wizards of audio. They're honest, straight forward and willing to work with you. This local business tells it how it is and I'm proud to be a their customer for life. Don't be a afraid to spend the money, you won't regret it afterwards. The quality in their work shows. Friendly service. Quick turn around times. Quality work. read more

Kustom Kar Audio - Car Stereo Installation Near Me - Santa Rosa, California

I've brought several high end hot rods and sports cars to Kustom Kar for years and I won't let anyone else work on stereos, alarms, and anything related. They are one of the very few shops that has carte blanche with my vehicles when they are working on them. I trust their judgement and work completely. Can't recommend them enough! read more

This is a long over due review of Kustom Kar Audio. I am a long time customer and I will continue to be into the future! Chris and his team have done 5 Alpine stereos in various cars of mine. All systems included new decks and various amps and speakers. All systems have worked flawlessly. They put an Alpine deck into my daughter's car several months back along with an amp, subwoofer and door speakers. It developed a weird cut out issue that the kid lived with because we are all super busy and just couldn't be without a car for a day, months went by. I called up Chris and took the car over to them to see what's up with the system. I honestly thought it was a problem with the car's wiring and not anything Kustom did, but I wanted to eliminate the deck as a source of the problem. I went into this expecting to pay up for them to diagnose and fix the problem. Turns out we did have a bad ground at the battery that was messing with the deck. Kustom fixed the wiring, added another ground just to be safe and all is well. The little BMW goes boom boom again! I asked what I owed and to my surprise Chris said nothing, zero, nada!!! This is what a quality business does, they do great work, and when there is a problem they take care of their customer and backup their work. I'm glad I have supported this shop and built a solid relationship with them. read more

These guys are the best. Chris, Joe and Joe are super knowledgable and competent. Importantly, they really care about their work and the satisfaction of their customer. I had a pretty complicated situation with my camper van, the aux battery setup, and some anomalies with my electrical system. They went over and beyond to make it happen. I highly recommend them! read more

If you need to fix or improve your sound system, regardless of whether you have a car, truck or boat, you can't find a better operator than Chris at Kustom Kar Audio. Call ahead to make an appointment because he's just that popular. Why? Great service, fair prices, and an abundance of honesty. Highly, highly recommend! read more

I've been to Kustom Kar Audio several times because I was upgrading my system bits and pieces at a time....Every time I've been there it's been an uplifting experience... Chris is like a sound system surgeon; as knowledgeable as one could be about car stereo installations and troubleshooting. The same can be said for everyone who works there. All those attributes trickle down through the staff. I feel an abundance of positive energy every time I walk in that shop. Chris has gone above and beyond to make sure I was happy and had the best at a good price. There's no doubt these guys are the best in Northern California. I've never been anywhere else since I discovered them. read more

Highly recommended. Chris and his team at Kustom Kar Audio perform clean work in an efficient manner at a fair price. Can't say enough good things about my experience. Definitely will be coming back for any future work on any of my vehicles. Thanks again Chris! read more

I can't say enough about Chris and his team. Their work is Impeccable! Clean, Crisp and Professional. These guys are the real deal. I wasn't happy with my current system. Didn't have enough bass. So he dropped 2-12" JBL subs and a upgraded Amp. With a nice box. Tuned my system and now people can here me comming from afar! Want you audio done right the first time? Take it to Chris! read more

Great customer service! Chris and his team went over and beyond and made sure I was happy:)

Chris and his crew are excellent! Their shop was recommended to me by several people. Clean, organized and they keep the communication open about the status of your vehicle while you wait. They also have completed many vintage vehicles, custom motorcycles, watercraft and have a great display of products they sell. I had purchased some products online for my vehicle, and at first thought, I would be turned away. Chris reviewed what I purchased and without hesitation, set up an appointment to install it for me. Unfortunately, all of my parts were not complete but his installer advised what to look for to complete my installation. I would highly recommend this business for your audio installation needs. read more

I'm not a huge reviewer but I have to write one for Kustom Kar Audio. I bought a new car and wanted to get an upgraded system with it. Chris gave me a quote, waited weeks for me to get the car - and then worked with me on a payment and ended up doing a bit of the work before I had finished paying. Then a few months my sub ended up dying - I brought the car back, told him I wanted to change the sub, they ended up swapping out the sub for no extra charge. The new sub sounds great, they did a perfect install on the amp. People who stand behind their work are sometimes hard to find. I plan on coming back for a bit more work on the car as well to get my rear door speakers replaced as well. Thanks guys! read more
