I brought my grandparents RAV for a new radio a while back. Had a good experience then. I had no issues with the install since, my family still uses it, and most important I have zero regrets getting it. Back to now, I bought a brand new truck so I had to give this place serious consideration. Emailed a few places but ended up back here. After talking with Ryan and thinking things over I went from planning on getting an amp, new front speakers and sub to installing the door speakers entirely, adding the amp with the option for a future sub install. I'm glad I went this route. The quality of sound I'm getting makes me debate if getting a sub is necessary. The wires are neatly ran and zip tied, I can appreciate this since I do a lot of network cabling and some low voltage work myself. The future subwoofer knob was mounted clean onto a vacant plate. It was not cheap and I have no buyers remorse. Great audio isn't cheap, and cheap audio isn't great. read more

I recently had my 2012 Mercedes C250 upgraded at Mobile Car Audio, and I wanted to share what an outstanding experience it was. From the very beginning, Tracy in the office was professional, welcoming, and extremely helpful when I first called to inquire. She made the entire process feel easy and well organized. Ryan, the owner, is knowledgeable, honest, and truly takes pride in his work. He explained everything clearly and made thoughtful recommendations without any pressure. What impressed me most was his attention to detail and his commitment to doing the job correctly, even when it required additional components to ensure everything worked perfectly with my car. Chris, Ryan's right-hand man, did an excellent job with the installation. The workmanship is clean, seamless, and looks like it came from the factory. You can tell they take great care in what they do. I initially planned to install Apple CarPlay, but ended up upgrading my backup camera and adding a radar-based blind spot detection system as well. Everything works beautifully, and my sound system still sounds just as good as before--which was very important to me. This is not a place that cuts corners. They focus on quality, and it shows in the final result. If you are looking for a professional, knowledgeable, and trustworthy team for car audio or technology upgrades, I highly recommend Mobile Car Audio. Thank you again to Ryan, Tracy, and Chris for such a great experience. read more

Mahalo nui loa Mobile Car Audio for all you do! We are truly blessed to have local people like you taking care of us! read more

Service was incredible from start to finish. Tracie was so helpful in answering all of my questions and making me feel well taken care of. I got a full audio replacement and I'm so happy with how it turned out. Pricing was very fair and warranty was included in my purchase. They even had a spare car for me to be able to use and run errands while they worked on my truck. 10/10 experience! Highly recommend read more

These guys took on a very challenging job and nailed it for a little cheaper than their highest rated nearby competitors quoted. This was not a normal job...it required replacing the entire system (speakers, amp, head unit) and fabricating a harness so the new head unit will fit in a place it normally is not supposed to go! Very happy with the job!!! Recommend them highly! read more

Benson did an excellent and professional job installing my dash cam. He explained what he was going to do and showed me how to use the dash cam after installation. I'm very satisfied with his service. read more

Tracie and Ryan are awesome they did my stereo system in my 4Runner TRDPRO like it was stock and sound great. Thank you both for everything and I will definitely be back again and again. I recommend them 100% read more

They were super helpful when I needed some supplies to hook up my inverter to my work van. Decent price

Brought our Toyota Tacoma in with one inoperable rear, driver-side speaker and poor sound quality on other speakers. Serviced by Ryan who provided friendly and prompt service. Ryan is the type of person who will give you a favorable first impression of himself and the business; you have that trust in him right off the bat. He followed through with professional services - diagnosis and corrective action - at a very reasonable price. I drove home with the sweet sound of music and much gratitude to Mobile Car Audio! read more

Very knowledgeable and professional. Benson arrived on time and was able diagnose and fix the issue.

Mobile Car Audio has been my go-to for years. Tracie, one of the owners, is who I usually work with--she's always professional, knowledgeable, and on top of everything. Lately, I've also had the chance to work with Chris, their install guy, and he does clean, organized, high-quality work every time. Together they make an awesome team. If you want reliable service, expert installs, and people who genuinely care about doing the job right, Mobile Car Audio is the one to trust. Highly recommend! read more

Back again. This time, adding speakers, amp and a sub. Not much more to say. Same great service as last time. If you need something for your car, go check them out. It may seem repetitive with everyone saying the same thing, but it is true. They are so nice! read more

Noticed his place as I was driving thru Kam Hwy. Stopped in to see about having Speakers changed out. Got an appointment and was able to get my car back in just hours. Very professional job and done with no hassle. I would recommend anyone considering system work consider this place. Wish I had more knowledge about what they have available. I could get spoiled at this place... read more

Amazing people! So kind and bent over backwards to get me in quickly for an install after I had a terrible experience at Best Buy. Product is great, and their sit-in demo after install was a nice touch. I will absolutely go back again and again. read more

Tracy was friendly and transparent , and experienced, the technician Chris fast and efficient , the service was honest and friendly , no bs. Highly recommend this place ! Mahalos mobile car audio . read more

The stock system I have in my brand new car is just terrible. They made it all better and then some! Ryan was great and he gave me a loaner sub woofer because the one I ordered wasn't in. Really made sure I was happy especially with the size of the sub woofer box ( my trunk is very tiny but I still needed space). Amazing shop!! Very happy all around! read more

My husband's stock truck speakers finally started sounding very worn out after 9 years. He purchased new speakers and it sat in the house waiting for him to install...now that I'm driving his truck while he is out to sea, it needed to get done! I called Mobile Car Audio and they gave me open dates and times. Next day install was done within 2 hours and was charged very reasonably! I appreciated their help with getting this done and how efficiently they worked for the install! Their work was clean and it seemed like nothing changed except for the awesome quality of the new system they installed! Ms. Tracy at the counter was very responsive when the work was done. In fact, she gave accurate estimated time to complete even when they were backed up on installs. She also verified the speakers we purchased would fit properly. When the install was done, she showed us what the crew removed and asked if we wanted to keep and offered to toss for us. I highly recommend this place for your stereo needs! Inside the store, you will find backup camera systems and alarm systems in addition to sound systems. The staff here are pleasant and very informative about the work they provide. I've been meaning to call and ask if they work with sound proof insulation. read more

Ryan and Chris are phenomenal!!!! I actually came in for a license plate LED light installation. My car speakers and amp haven't sounded good for almost a year. I asked Ryan if he could take a look at my car speakers. My Alpine amp/sub for some reason was weak. Also my JL speakers were installed properly. I ended up getting everything new and replaced. I got all Rockford speakers and the Diamond amp/sub installed. I got there around 4:30pm. Ryan and Chris were so great and installed everything for me even though they were going to close. They were incredible with their customer service! They know what they're doing! Their quality is top notch! They spent 4 hours doing my installation and finished my car at 9:30pm! They stayed 3 & 1/2 hours just to do my car because i couldn't come in the next day! I gave them a cash tip each because they worked extremely hard! I am soooo impressed with the sounds that i have now! It's like driving around in a movie theater! I will only come here from now on for everything! Car alarm, sounds, and lights! Thank you guys for the best customer service on this island! You need to come here! They will not rip you off! Super friendly and they treat you like family. I wish i could give 1,000,000 stars! Thank you Ryan and Chris for the best car audio experience ever! read more

Much Mahalos Tracy and Ryan! It has been more than a couple of decades that had passed, Ryan is still the man! I Appreciate you and your sister for all your help! I Highly recommend MCA for any "Mobile Car Audio upgrades. Ten stars if I could. Mahalo! read more

Ryan and his team (Tall Guy with Afro) did a very good job with the install. Clean and professional. Wires are hidden, Bass knob integrated into the dash, and amp mounted behind the back seat. For the quality work that was done the price made it even better. Before I came in Ryan was very helpful via emails and took the time to research and explain multiple options that could have been done. Super friendly, answered all my stupid questions, and willing to teach to someone like me who don't know a lot about car audio lol. Go to Mobile Car Audio if you want a clean install and someone that shows he actually cares about his customers. read more

Needed a replacement remote for my viper alarm. First place I called is mobile car audio. He said to come by, so I did and didn't even take 45 min and I was on my way out with my replacement remote. He programmed it to work with my alarm and showed me how to override the alarm if I can't shut it off with my remote. I forget the guys name but he was really cool and very professional. If anyone asks for my recommendation for car audio or alarms I'm sending em there!! Mahalo again!! read more

Came in for a speaker upgrade, steering wheel control, and some radio trouble shooting. Process was fairly quick. Both Tracie and Joey were attentive and responsive to my questions. Prices are reasonable and they are very friendly here. One star taken away due to the extra waiting from for a part. I understand that this is it of their control. Just sharing my experience. If I didn't have to wait for the missing part (steering wheel adapter) this process would have taken only 2ish hours. Again, pleased with this shop and how friendly they are! Glad I've got nothing planned today, because it's been an additional 2 hour wait. I'm fact with this review while waiting for my car to finish. Support local! read more

Thank you guys again. read more

I've been searching for an alarm but MOST of the installers I've seen are young guys, 20 somethings. It's never good to hear someone say , "ahh...we'll figure it out". Most have never installed an alarm on the newer Corvettes. I spoke to Tracy here . NICE girl. When you meet her in store , the same, SUPER NICE. The reviews reflect their work and attitude. The installer took his time to make sure EVERYTHING is ok and not just "ok". He looked at the Corvette's schematic and went to work. I'm super happy. The parking lot is wide and install bay is wide not like some shops they squeeze in cars and parking lot is crammed. This is definitely the shop to go . You won't be disappointed. read more

Wow! Okay, where do I start. I've always been the type to find the best and cheapest deals wherever I go. I always want to save money and that definitely bit my ass this time. I had no knowledge in installing audio equipment into my car so I went to a guy who charged me real low for the labor cost (less than $100). As a result, he didn't know how to install my rear speakers, and completely messed up my dashboard while installing the double din, claiming I got the wrong dash kit and he even cracked my dashboard in the process. Due to this I wasn't happy, and I was able to find this place, Mobile Car Audio. Upon arriving to Mobile Car Audio, Joey did an amazing job in keeping me confident that the issue can be fixed. The prices were very reasonable, and in less than 2 hours, he got my double din issue resolved, and was able to install my two rear speakers with no problems at all. The guy is completely honest and you can tell he isn't in it for the money, he sincerely wants to help you out. Gives great advice and I enjoyed watching him fix and install my audio equipment. Even while I was there, they were kind enough to offer me a drink while I waited! If you have to install any type of audio equipments, stereos, etc. go to Mobile Car Audio. I DO NOT recommend going to a person/shop that charges installation fees for super low. I now believe in "you pay for what you get." Go to a credited 5-star business like Mobile Car Audio so you don't have to worry about the installer messing up your car. Friendly working environment and definitely gets the job done. I couldn't be happier with how my car looks and sounds now. Thank you Joey! read more

Mobile Car Audio - Car Stereo Installation Near Me - Aiea, Hawaii

Looking at the Yelp reviews, Mobile Car Audio seemed like an easy choice. I brought my wife's 2008 Prius in to have a new Apple Car Play installed. I could not have asked for a nicer experience in the initial contact. We talked about all the options, and settled on one that would work for us. This morning, we dropped the car off for the install. The installer (not sure who it was...might even have been Ryan), was concerned about the Prius dash with some well-known brittle sun-burned plastic issues, but thought it would be OK. We were home only a few minutes, and got a call that despite being "surgical" (as it was described) the first plastic vent broke, and we had to make some decisions. So we drove back, and looked over what our options were. The plastic vent was so brittle that a part broke in my hand like a corn chip. We understood that the other two vents would likely break, but went ahead with the install. Tracie (the famous Tracie always mentioned in the Yelp reviews) already had the needed parts on the computer screen, and was ready to take care of what we would want to do. We decided to defer to after the install, to see what survived being taken out. Despite a late start, we got the call that the car was ready for pick up earlier than we expected. They did a marvelous install, even the broken, brittle vents looked pretty good, but we know they have to be replaced (dang Toyota...over $700 for three plastic vents...are you serious???). My wife was given a full debrief on how to work the Car Play unit, but we were missing something we did not expect to need to bring from home to make it functional for the maiden voyage. ...that's when Tracie, without hesitation, fixed the issue for us by doing something unexpectedly kind. I won't share what she did for us, but let me emphasize it was really a kind thing to do. I am finding myself concocting reasons to go back to Mobile Car Audio to have something--anything--installed just for the customer service experience. Thanks to the entire crew. It really did feel like we just swung by our O'hana to have some help getting a car stereo installed. I cannot recommend them enough. read more

Awe yeah!!! Called at lunch.....got a new stereo with speakers later in the afternoon. Can't beat that. The service was excellent. From start to finish. Very friendly, and really the most important thing....not pushy in anyway. I wanted to update my really old speakers in my ten year old car. After getting an education on wattage and the different ways I could go with my stereo system....I went with what I considered a full upgrade. My stereo was completely replaced with a new console kit, and my front, and rear speakers were replaced. I'm not into all the fancy gizmos or subwoofers. I just wanted something that could play music, and sound good. I got EXACTLY what I asked for, and could not be happier. When I have another car, and need an upgrade, going to these folks. Well done. read more

It's been a good 11 years, but my deck decided to go crazy on me, stop working properly and you could tell my speakers put in some time as well. Anyways, fast forward, needed to get it replaced and I found mobile car audio and I am so glad I did. My original setup was from another audio shop, and it's nice that it lasted 11 years, however, I can still remember the service there. They were pushy on selling and trying to upsell and push extras on to make an easy buck. Luckily I was young and literally had a set budget to work with. But I've also been to and inquired with other audio shops and....same shit just different stores. But, that was not the case with mobile car audio. I went in and talked to Tracie, I explained my situation and that I don't plan to have the car for too much longer but I do need to want some music while I drive. She showed me there stock which was slightly limited, but didn't push it on me and actually suggested I look online for one and they'd be more than happy to help with the installation. So that's exactly what I did, went online, found one that'll work and for a deal too. I ordered it, got it, and went back to mobile car audio. Ended up wanting some new speakers also, but for those I just went through mobile car audio and it was still reasonable with installation. Tracie and her team got it installed, and my car definitely gave them some stress with the 11 ear old steering wheel control and sub I had, and I appreciate all the time and effort they put in to make sure everything was installed properly and showed me how to function everything before sending me on my way. If you are looking for new sounds or even a new alarm definitely come here! You won't regret it, they will work with you and provide you recommendations but you will never feel like you are being pushed to buy something. In fact they'll work with you so you can go do some online shopping as well and help with the installation for a very reasonable price. Support local! Support Mobile Car Audio! read more

No services or products purchased but assisted in troubleshooting and left an amazing impression! My 08 Honda CRV randomly started going off even with it unlocked and the only way to diarm it was to turn on the ignition. I tried taking it to another "EXPRESS" alarm specialist down the road first where they just looked at my car as it was going off and just said "you need our alarm installed and it will override your factory alarm.. 250 dollars will take 2 hours" I asked them if there was any way to disarm my factory alarm or if there was anything else I could do and they just said no before I could finish my sentence. I felt making that kind of expensive decision quickly would be a bad idea so I took my car to Mobile Car Audio. I first initially called them and even though they were busy they still told me to come by so they could check it out. They were so welcoming and honestly I felt less stressed out just seeing them work so hard to troubleshoot my car. They told me that installing a car alarm over the factory one wouldn't necessarily fix the issue so I am happy that I didn't make the spur of the moment decision to install. They tried literally everything in the book and did research and tried looking for solutions on internet forums and any other trick to resolve my issue. Alas, my car must be haunted. After an hour of them trying to resolve my issue nothing could be done and they recommended me to take it into a Honda dealer since they would be my last hope. I felt reassured with his opinions and reccomendations and knew they were being honest and upright. I felt so relieved I didn't make a bad decision and pay 250 on another car alarm that probably wouldn't fix my issue. They didn't charge me for looking and troubleshooting but they left such a deep impression on me if I have any needs for car audio/alarms etc in the future I will reccomend and go to them. Mobile Car Audio made me feel at ease and assured that I was getting an honest service and really left a huge impact on me even for not being a paying customer. read more

I've come here twice and they have been awesome both times! Ryan is great awesome and the prices aren't outrageous like some other places here! If I need anything else done with my car I will definitely be coming back here! I'm so happy with my back up camera and my new radio! They both work awesome, thanks again Ryan! read more

I recently bought my third unit from MCA and couldn't be happier. Bought the first one for my old Astro, second for my Tahoe when I got it in 2013, and this latest one (an upgraded model) for my same Tahoe. These guys are first class. They asked what I was looking for in a unit, brought one out that was exactly what I wanted, installed it in two hours, got in the car with me afterwards and showed me how to use it. Wham, bam, I drove off with my new Pioneer full screen receiver. They were fast, efficient, courteous, and reasonable. You could not ask for more. Thank you Mobile Car Audio! read more
