The manufacturer stereo/navigation system in my Volkswagen Tiguan stopped working. So, I took it to the dealership for diagnosis and repair. There, I was advised to purchase a new unit priced at approximately $3,000.00, with installation. Being that I was not comfortable with the price point I was quoted, I decided to explore other options. I stumbled across Livewire Customs Audio a couple of days ago, while out running errands. I decided to take my vehicle there today, and was pleasantly surprised! I am happy to report that Livewire Customs Audio repaired my car's existing stereo/navigation system within thirty minutes. Ben, the owner/operator of the establishment, performed the work on my vehicle. I found him to be professional, knowledgeable, and very thorough. When I asked him how long he had been working on vehicles, he replied, "25 years." His experience really showed! He explored every avenue of my car's stereo/navigation unit until he not only diagnosed the problem, but successfully repaired it in a timely manner. The system is now fully functioning and at a fraction of the price of what the dealership wanted to charge! I am so excited to have found an establishment that is both caring, honest, and displays integrity in its business practices by not willing to compromise its ethics in order to just obtain a larger profit. In addition, I found Ben was very mindful and careful when accessing the interior of my vehicle. That is something that I notice and really appreciate when someone works on my car. Again, I was very pleased with my visit and quality of service. If you are looking to obtain audio services where the person is knowledgeable, has a high level of professionalism, great customer service, and competitive pricing, I highly recommend you go see Ben at Livewire Customs Audio. I, definitely, will be a repeat customer concerning my cars' audio needs. read more

I recently bought a car but wanted to make some enhancements to it. For one, the stereo system didn't sound right to me and I wanted a TV in there for my son. I also noticed the back of the car where my son sits gets very hot, so I was interested in window tinting, as well. I decided to visit Livewire Customs after driving by the area and noticing it. When I walked in, they were pretty busy, but I was greeted immediately by a gentleman named Ben, who I found out was the owner, as he introduced himself. He gave me a firm handshake, which stood well with me. He then asked me how he could assist me and proceeded to ask me the necessary questions to make sure he understood exactly what I needed. Ben spent time with me, showed me different options and explained them to me in detail. He also wasn't pushy, which I appreciated -- there's nothing I hate more than going in a store and feeling pressured to buy expensive things, just because the person knows I'm in need of it. At the end, I bought an amplifier for my inside speakers, a pair of new speakers for the front, a 13 inch flip down TV, and we agreed to get my back windows tinted at the shop. Ben went above and beyond to make sure I was happy and that I understood what I was buying. Everything looked clean, the installation was professional (even my husband, a car afficionado, gave it his stamp of approval!), and I was completely satisfied. Ben also told me to feel free to give him a call or come back if I had any questions. I could tell he truly cared about helping his customers, was passionate about his work, and didn't see me as just another sale. I will definitely be returning to Livewire Customs in the future for my car needs and referring them to my family and friends. Thanks, Ben! read more

So every audio install place I looked into had an almost month long waiting list. A friend of mine told me about Live Wire Customs so I gave them a call to see how long the waiting list was. I called on a Saturday mind you so I knew there was no way I could get same day service. The gentleman on the line asked me what I needed and I told him it was a simple deck install. I was blown away when he said bring it in I'll fit it between jobs. I headed over and a couple hours later I had my new deck with apple car play! They went above and beyond. I always make it a point to try to support the local guy over the big chain stores and I struck gold with Live Wire Customs. If you want to support the American Dream go there for all your car and motorcycle audio needs you will NEVER be disappointed. A guy came all the way up from the Central Valley while I was there to get work done. That's the reputation of a business led by someone who takes pride in what they do and will never cut corners! Strong American owned local business ran by a guy that is a cut above the rest! read more

Couldn't be more impressed with these guys. Bought a used car not realizing it had after market headlights with janky electrical set-up and structural problems. Another shop wanted $250 for an "electrical diagnostic." They didn't carry the headlights I needed to make a fast fix (I really wanted it done ASAP) so they told me exactly what to get from next door at Napa Auto. They were not about upselling at all--these are good guys with great problem solving skills. Brought the lights to them and they fixed my wiring and installed it. All of this for a fraction of the cost the other place wanted to just figure out what was wrong. . 5 stars!! read more

These guys do everything you could imagine. I only took my car in for a new hood vinyl, but once I got there they showed me current projects and everything they were doing was really awesome. I was surprised at the quality of work and how clean the store was. I picked my car up close to closing time and the vinyl work they did was some of the better vinyl installation work I've seen in the area. The lines were straight with almost no bubbles and the outside temp was close to 45 degrees and vinyl does not like to be installed that cold. Overall I would absolutely recommend these guys for the quality of work and the professionalism they showed. read more

These guys are the best I have done business with. The customer service is great and they are super accommodating. I had talked to Ben on the phone and explained I wanted base in my car, he told me they can start on my car the next day. These guys are super quick my car sounds super clean.It was all worth it and I even had a good deal! I had also needed some rims so I called and spoke to Ben on the phone and he was able to order them right then and there and my rims came in the next morning. These guys are super fast and know exactly what they are doing. If ur looking to do any custom work definitely recommend going to these guys. read more

I've gone to Ben and Ruben at the shop for many years now and they have never disappointed. Their craftsmanship and dedication to this business goes above and beyond. Every job they have done, they make it look like it came straight from the factory. There has never been any wires showing, no problems with any equipment that I've received. They are very honest and helpful when i have questions about the things i buy over there. Overall a great shop and would highly recommend going there for any sound system need, whether it's a custom built trunk or any type of sound system. Will definitely continue to go there! read more

Ben at Livewire is wonderful! He really listened to what I wanted and offered me a couple of very reasonably priced solutions to meet my stereo needs. Not only was the installation fast and professional, it's a huge upgrade in sound for much less than I'd have paid elsewhere. I am blown away by the quality and absolutely love the features that this system has. Ben also very kindly took the time to set it up for me (I'm techno challenged!) and made sure I was comfortable with using it. If you're looking for excellent equipment, professional installation and fabulous pricing, you can't go wrong with Livewire. read more

I came yesterday because something was draining my Battery in my car and my car alarm was acting funny. So I called around to a few spots and came in here because it was the closest. I had such a great experience with him and his staff. They are so helpful In diagnosing the reason why my truck wouldn't start. They even took me home when I needed to leave my truck there. Very friendly and great prices. Thanks again for all the help and getting my truck up and running again!!!! read more

Ben and his team did great work installing an alarm and I especially appreciate the amazing work done installing the custom cam that I brought to him, to install in my truck. I had problems finding services that would install custom cameras that were not purchased from them. So I appreciate the time that Ben and his team took for that install and I'm very pleased with the work. Thank you for the excellent customer service! read more

I had a great experience at livewire! Ben was super awesome. He was super friendly and made me super comfortable with getting my car music system done there. He took his time and did a wonderful job with my sound system. My price was definitely worth paying and the time was definitely worth spending. I would highly recommend this company for anyone who wants a great car sound system. Definitely leaving as a happy customer. read more

Another amazing experience at Livewire Customs! I stopped by to schedule an appointment to have my USB port switched out, and Ben said he could do it right then. In only five minutes I was back in the saddle as we say at the ranch with my Apple CarPlay working like a champ. I can't thank Ben enough! His customer service and knowledge are top notch, and I give him my highest recommendation! Thank you, again!! read more

I give Limewire a five star review. I have a 2005 Jaguar S-Type and no one including the dealer would install an alarm in my car as all said that it was too complicated. I spoke with the owner (Ben) of Limewire not only was he able to install the alarm he was able to install a new Kenwood deck as well. I recommend Limewire. read more

Hands down the best stereo shop in the Bay Area!!! They do everything from small installations to custom fabrication that are unique and unlike the things you are used to seeing from every other installer! Motorcycles, boats, cars, you name it if I put custom work in my toys I will be bringing it here read more

I am a person that like to work on my own audio systems. I have utilized Ben and his knowledge in purchasing the correct amps and speakers for my jeep. He takes the time to consider not only the price Lonny but the quality of sound for the vehicle. I recommend his shop for all of your audio needs! read more

I just purchased a 2010 Acura ZDX unfortunately the prior owner put in a new CarPlay installation which made my radio or the navigation system not work. I walked into Ben's establishment and he was more than helpful and came out and helped me understand how to switch everything back. Thanks Ben!! read more

LiveWire (Ben) did a full stereo install on my Harley Road Glide. Super powerful, super happy with it. Had a small issue, brought it in and Ben fixed it quickly. Ben also helped me with a unrelated issue just as a favor. I'll use LiveWire again if needed and recommend the shop. read more
