Do Not Use this company for an install. Just 4 years ago, I had a Pioneer stereo and backup camera head unit, plus steering wheel controls, installed in my Tundra. The usual installer was off for the day but the owner said he could do it. Several calls to the regular guy yielded a poorly installed unit that now, wont show the backup camera, unless the system decides it wants to or it shows the backup camera view 100% of the time. The music fades in and out, the reception wont stay on one station. Sometimes Im even able to change the station using the steering wheel controls. Most times, not. Sometimes, I cant even change the volume of the stereo. All in all for more than $500, the installation quality sucks. Oh, lets not forget that everything I needed for online learning, etc, was thrown out by the shop including the remote. read more

Years after this service I had a check engine light pop on that read I had a small gas leak somewhere - never would have thought it was more than something small. 4 shop visits, 5 smoke tests, over 1k later, and I found out that they drilled 4 holes into the top of my gas tank while installing my sub woofer in the trunk because they used ridiculously long screws during install. Unluckily for me, the truth didn't present itself until years later and besides this original review I have no way of proving this is the business that did it. When I called the business to see if they would help me they took advantage of my not having a receipt anymore and said they've never worked on a police interceptor, especially since I've moved states twice. Just stay away, and go somewhere more reputable and willing to admit damage they've done to a vehicle. I'm sure when they got the screws in they immediately realized what they had done and just let me drive off like that without saying anything to anyone. read more

Mike is so helpful he can help you with anything you need for your Car Stereo. He is upfront and even took the time to show me how to work my new car I will definitely be going back with my next new car thanks again so much Mike read more

All went very good. Mike had great communication via phone and messages, really appreciate him for that. Had amp and woofer installed at nice price for my 2004 Toyota Matrix. Very clean spacious work station, all and all happy with his service and work. read more

I was call to check about availability for subwoofer Mike was very helpful Answer my questions and honest !! read more

My s/o chose this place due to the proximity and after checking the various yelp reviews I decided to gamble with it. Now please not take me seriously I'm using the word gamble lightly. I had received an after market back up camera for my Christmas gift and I was excited to get that bad boy on my car. After calling the shop a couple of times, we were told to head over since they were finishing up with another car. The location is hidden in back on Katella but if you just look for the side entrance with the huge signs, after you pass farmers' boys, you'll be golden. We were quoted $120 and in no way were we pressured to be upsold. He spoke how he had just done a car similar to mine and even let me see how the after market camera would look. I wasn't too happy about the location of the monitor but hey, at least I have a back up camera now! The total work took about 2 hours, a little over what we were quoted but all the greats were never rushed. I mean ... it took Michaelangelo how long to paint the Sistine Chapel? For $120, the work was done fantastically. He even found a way to hardwire the camera so I wouldn't have to deal with the hassle of plugging the power in and out. Thank you MJ! I won't forget your little shop & will definitely recommend to my friends! read more

I came in on a strict budget and Mike was able to work with me and provide a couple of different options. I ended up Purchasing the Pioneer 2600BT Double DIN CD/DVD/Bluetooth head unit on my 2010 Subaru Impreza Hatchback. Installation took a couple hours and I was not disappointed with the results! Installation was clean, professional and he set a custom EQualizer specifically for my vehicle and my preferences. Incredible! This unit brought out sounds and clarity from my stock speakers I did not know existed! It is easy to use and the UI is intuitive. Bluetooth audio and calls are amazingly clear and convenient! My experience at MJ Audio was second to none. Price was right, installation was perfect and the customer service was top notch. Mike listened to what I needed and helped me choose the best deck and installed it just as I asked. He adjusted the display colors of my unit to match my dash. Mike even called me a week later to ensure everything was working well and to make sure I was happy and satisfied. I definitely recommend Mike @ MJ Audio! read more

5 Diamond Award as far as my experience!! I initially chose MJ Car Stereo based on their yelp reviews, my immediate impression, clean and organized facility which is a good indicator of what their installation work will be like. I have experience with other Stereo shops and in the past, the filthy and unorganized stores is a direct reflection on their installation practices. MJ had my vehicle ready at the promised time, my vehicle was left spotless inside and out! Mike took a great deal of time showing me entire installation work and explaining the new system in detail (which was a first). New in dash system, 5 speakers (initially), rear camera, mic, and 2 amps. After 2 weeks I was unhappy with the "muffled" sound, I went back to show Mike as my initial request was to have "a nice acoustic sound" and the highs/mids were poor due to factory speaker placement. MJ was nice enough to install 2 additional tweeters at a prime location at absolutely NO COST to me and I quote "we want to make sure that you are happy." My experience was awesome! Usually shops like to charge you extra for "additional things you need to get the sound you're looking for" and make every excuse in the book after they have taken your money; not true for MJ Car Stereo. I have 2 other vehicles that need new systems, I will definitely be back to have the work done here at MJ Car Stereo!!! **Please see attached photos of installation which is a piece of art** read more

If you can't use what they have in stock and have it installed for your particular car forget about it. It's all about the quick buck with pretty much all car audio installers there are some exceptions I hope you find one. read more

Needed a new car stereo for my Porsche and I went to four different places for a quote. They all said I needed an extra module to make it work and all their prices were about the same because of this extra part. When I spoke to Mike at MJ he did his research and found that the module was not necessary. That reduced the cost by $800! Mike was able to get my stereo installed the very next day. All the other companies I had to drop off my car to get the stereo installed. With MJ they came to my house and installed it within 2 hours. The knowledge, mobile installation and price is what sets them apart from the rest! I would most definitely recommend MJ to any one who needs a car stereo. read more

Mike did a wonderful job on my Toyota Corolla. I updated my factory speakers for some pioneers and it sounds amazing. Service was excellent.

After being jerked around by Best Buy I found MJ's. Mike gave me a few options and gave me a good price. He did an excellent job, quick and clean. He took his time showing me how the new car stereo works and bits of the process of the installation. He helped me program my phone and sync it to the radio to. He was nice and friendly. I definitely would use him again and send my friends here as well. The shop was clean and tidy. Thanks Mike. read more

MJ Car Stereo - Car Stereo Installation Near Me - Orange, California

Mike did an excellent job on updating my 2004 Tundra with a new system. I called Mike to discuss what system he would recommend. He recommended the pioneer DMH-2600NEX based on my requirements. After checking out the product, I call Mike to have this installed. Mike came out the house and did the install the same day. Excellent job, great customer service and customer value. Give Mike a call and see what he can do for your needs. Well worth the call. read more

This place isn't a place I would ever set foot in again nor would I trust the work done by the owner or any of the employees here. I had come in here as it appeared that they had good deals were near my office and could fit me in quickly (on my lunch break). Well that is just over the phone. When I arrived, they had a waiting line. The owner wasn't interested in selling me the product that I wanted. The owner and employee tried a classic bait and switch maneuver. But seriously, I was born at night, but it wasn't last night. So poof I disappeared with my money and decided that this place is a place to avoid forever more. What was more aggravating is seeing that the cars they were working on, were getting major installs and had the vehicle owners watching/participating and I knew it had been going on for hours. When I called in and was informed there wasn't a line and arrived within just a few minutes, well I got pretty pissed about that. Add in the bait n switch upsell thing... *SMH* I wouldn't trust these guys to give me the truth or do anything that they promised/warranted whatsoever. I highly suggest that you avoid this place like the plague... read more

This place gets two stars for me because I saw an ad on craigslist for a subwoofer and amp with installation for less than 170 I believe it said 140. So I got there no specials under 200 I mentioned the ad and he avoided the question. So I ended up getting a kenwood and some cheap almani amp and they installed it it came to be 240 something. Installation however was professional cables were hidden. They didn't installed it how I wanted it though through the ski pass through on my car. It stopped working though now I'm left with no bass on my car until I get another amp. From 3 to 1 star for saying they didn't make the sale of the stuff I bought. No one mentioned any warranty on anything I paid 30 cash and the rest on my card it was last month. Also subwoofer wasn't even secured every turn it would fall or move around I had to put a bok behind it to keep it from moving. read more

MJ Car Stereo - Car Stereo Installation Near Me - Orange, California

Just found out my neighborhood has been hit with a string of vandalism earlier this afternoon. I've been putting off getting an alarm for years but I knew I needed to do something soon. So once I found out the news, I immediately started searching for a local place that could take care of me right away. I was turned down by multiple shops before I walked into MJ Car Stereo. They didn't have anyone in but he called someone in immediately to make sure I went home with something other than a factory alarm. He went out of his way to make sure I got what I needed. Best customer service and care anyone could ask for from a shop. There are a lot of shady businesses in the car audio/alarm industry. I've dealt with nightmare of companies that will rip you off and damage your vehicle. MJ Car Stereo did the job perfectly, immediately, and at a competitive price. Best shop in town hands down. read more

Needing a new car stereo sucks. There are a bazillion places. There are ads that promise the world for twenty bucks. There is Best Buy. There is Fry's. There is the swap meet. All can do the job. But where do you go to get it done right? I am VERY pleased with both the level of service I received and the quality of the job. Mike answered my call at 8:45 AM. 15 minutes before opening. I made an appointment for the same day. My truck's aftermarket stereo stopped working. The head unit turned on with no sound. I could have ripped it apart myself to track down one of 10 possible fuses. Or looked for a loose wire. I wanted the thing to be fixed right so I wanted a pro. Mike was ready to do whatever my truck needed. Most of the stuff he suggested didn't cost much if anything. He figured out that my super bitchen expensive Alpine amp was bad. I ended up buying a new, up to date head unit and he was able to make the existing amp sound better than the Alpine. The Bluetooth speakerphone works perfectly. Thank you Mike. You are my stereo guy from here on out..... read more

I found MJ Car Stereo using Yelp and visited the store based on the high numbers of reviews they have. Im glad I did because everything that was said on the positive reviews...was true. The place was clean and well organized. The staff was well knowledged and were not pushy in trying to sell items I didn't need. I do regret that I didn't come here first, before purchasing my car stereo because I was informed I could have gotten a better deal on my head unit, with them. Overall, it is the hands down best car audio store in Orange County that Ive ever visited. read more

MJ is honest, fast, and does great work. Used them 2x so far and each job has gone great with product, instal, and service. Getting ready for them to fix a job botched by another company on another vehicle. MJ has Definitely has been consistent and great place to work with. read more

Was unhappy with work done..went in needing new stereo and speaker Guy charged me 520 to install 3 speakers and a stereo unit..was told I was getting the best speakers for good sound..in reality just got bunch of Cheap products so he could turn a big profit..he said it was good sound but it sounds like crap..i suggest go some where else and Save your money and go to someone who will do the job you ask for without trying to sell you on crapy products..don't be fooled by this place..I will be going somewhere else to have it done right..so your not embarrassed by the sound ur car puts out.. Waste of money! read more

The main difference between this shop and other stereo shop is honesty in labor. I walked in and Mike was very kind and honest. Look, everyone is looking to make money but mike is looking to earn a friendly client that will recommend someone rather than rip me off. I'm here for a simple fix, but I was't sure what the problem was. They took care of it in 45min, isolated the problem by changing a wire, and boom, I was on my way. Highly recommend. read more

So.. I did not even have a yelp account, or had even posted a review on something like Yelp before, but I was so impressed with the service Mike (I'm assuming must be the owner)had given to me and my daughter, I just had to say something! So we had a viper car alarm and window tint installed the same day for my daughters 2003 VW Beetle, she dropped it off and I couldn't get over there to pick her up immediately, and Mike, only meeting my daughter that day, and only talking with me via mobile phone, offered to let my daughter borrow his OWN Vehicle until hers was done. First class... The alarm portion of the install took a bit long and it was actually after their closing hours and I was worried that I would Be told to come back tomorrow, but Mike said they will not leave until it is 100% done!So when I go to pay for the work, (which was very well done!) As I bust out my wallet to pay for the amount we agreed upon, Mike tells me since the car took a bit longer than expected, He would be taking twenty bucks off of the total bill.... Now tell me, who ever does something like that!!! I have total confidence that you will be very happy with the work, the pricing (which is very competitive), but most of all the customer service and satisfaction from Mike and the folks over at M.J. Car Stereo. read more

Went to have a wiring issue checked out in a truck I just bought. Mike gave me a quote and taped up a dangerous hot wire no charge. I ended up taking my truck in later that day to have the work done. Reasonable price and professional. I did not have anything near the negative experience some people have posted about. read more

MJ Car Stereo - Car Stereo Installation Near Me - Orange, California

Mike is knowledgeable, fair and fast. He helped to me install a new Sony receiver and redo all the bad wiring by the previous installer. His price is also very fair, slightly on the low side compared to other shops. I am planning to have him work on my 2nd car later. read more

Mike did a great job installing a JVC double din stereo with Sirius XM and a back up camera in my wife's Honda Element. Happy wife, happy life! The new audio system was a lifesaver on our recent road trip to Idaho. Mike is very experienced, responsive and offers mobile service to your home or location. Excellent job Mike! read more

Awesome job Mike I was a bit nervous being that my car was new an I had never used this place but I have to say he was very professional and friendly. He makes you feel like family and he was honest about his price and his work. He went above and beyond to make sure everything was working properly. Would definitely recommend him to everyone read more

STAY AWAY!!!! worst service ever. Came in for a simple radio install and MJ the owner broke the dash AC knob. Came back for them to fix, and all I got was an attitude and excuses ZERO resolution. I left just for the fact that he was raising his voice and stated if he were to fix he would lose money??? You get what you pay unfortunately I got robbed seriously considering getting a lawyer, not because I want to be reimbursed just so that hopefully this doesn't do this to anyone else. DO NOT SPEND YOUR MONEY HERE. 1 star only for the fact that you have to. read more

The owner came and fixed my car battery when autozone would not he came very fast and was as sweet as could be. He saved me!!! Thank you again!!! read more

I needed a basic sound system for an older car I use here and there. I yelped some car stereo places and came across this company. I walked in not really knowing anything about speakers and sound systems and what to expect. I received a warm greeting by MJ, and explained what I needed. He was super nice, and gave me some good choices. I ended up getting a new pioneer system, two front pioneer speakers and a strip style antenna. (The stock antenna broke) and am/fm radio doesn't hurt to have either. Well I'm super happy! I didn't expect my 1996 Nissan Maxima to have blue tooth capability but it does now! I also own a 2014 Lexus IS250, and I'll say the blue tooth function syncs so much quicker and better in this pioneer system the Maxima just received. I don't even bother using the blue tooth in the Lexus anymore. Anyhoo! MJ at the end took the time to explain the functions of the new system too. Super super nice and helpful. Didn't try to sell me anything extra for this maxima. I was definitely pleased. Check out the place if you're in the market. The store is very clean and is legit! MJ thanks for the excellent customer service and new products! Hope to see you again soon! Salamat! Laurence read more

Mike was fast, knowledgeable and super accommodating. I walked in on a Saturday morning and walked out in about an hour with a brand new stereo system.

Had another car stereo put in. Always professional, fast, and good price. Mj doing my rv next.

Needed to have my radar re hardwired. The gentleman helped me right away, did the job on the spot and did great work! Highly recommend 10/10

Installation is professional looking and I have had no problems so far. The price of $320 for a stereo installed with no speakers was a little bit steep, but I justified it with the one year warranty.I will probably come back to get a Viper alarm system and add more speakers to my car. read more
