Phantom has worked on four cars of mine over the years. Never had a problem with installation, the workmanship, or the quality of their products. read more

These guys are Fantastic! They got me in for an appointment right away. Fast and effecient.. and very knowledgeable. Real cool peeps who will definitely get the work done. My brother's Malibu 1997 Chevy hooked up with an awesome new stereo Bluetooth system. He Loves it. Thanks Phantom Electronics! read more

As most people in the Conejo Valley already know how great Howard and his staff are, I might as well pile on some more high praise. Thanks to you Howard and Jack. We came in with our older bmw Saturday and received absolutely superior service the moment we walked through their door. Tops in customer service, supremely competent and knowledgeable. Nice, funny, friendly guys as well! Thanks again for going out of your way to help us. You're the best! We will certainly be back!! read more

Howard and team upgraded my 2012 F150 with a CarPlay compatible unit, front and rear dash cam, front parking cam for my son who will be driving the truck. They were reasonable, knowledgeable and turned the. Shucks around quickly. The system he recommended works great! Thx Howard! read more

I called and was highly unimpressed told me they are 6 weeks out and could not do anything for me so when I ask for a professional opinion of another stero store to help me they refused to so here's to the poor customer service for these guys read more

PARKING SENSOR SERVICE Thank you so much Howard and team for your excellent service on my Mercedes C250. Everyone here is very kind and helpful. My previous vehicle was rear ended and totaled. My new one didn't have the parking sensors I had loved on my original car. Howard and team installed sensors on my new car and he made the process incredibly simple. What to expect from this business: PROFESSIONALISM: he knows how to treat his customers well right from the start. EFFICIENCY: Howard covered all the bases and kept his word. He made this super easy and guided me through the entire process of completing the work on my car. RESPECTFUL: I am not the most knowledgeable with car stuff and so my dad came along with me. Howard spoke to both of us and explained everything to me and my dad. I appreciated that because even though I'm paying for the service, my experience with others in the past was that I was not acknowledged. Being female I have noticed that women seem to be disregarded when they are unfamiliar with certain trades. This was not the case at all! Howard shook my hand and treated me the same as my dad. He was very kind and made sure I understood all the details. That meant so much to me! TRUSTWORTHY: I felt extremely confident in leaving my vehicle in their hands. You will see just from meeting this business owner that you can trust him. KNOWLEDGEABLE: This business offers many services at which Howard has extensive knowledge. I was happy to learn how the installation process worked at the initial meeting. RELIABLE: Excellent communication skills. He did what he said he was going to do. Everything was done in a timely manner. Thanks again for making the sensor installation easy on me! Your service provided was great and I will highly recommend you to others. read more

Howard is friendly and well known for knowing his trade. Expect to make an appointment as they are very popular and the busiest shop in town. He was helpful with a Lexus that needed some custom work. I highly recommend this place for your stereo needs. read more

When the Dealership recommends Howard at Phantom Electronics, for an aftermarket radio and a backup camera, you know you've found a reliable Electronics Dealer. Howard knew everything about what my daughters vehicle would require to make the installation flawless. From the Pioneer wireless apple CarPlay/CD/Nav radio to the correct module and An HD, "Made in the USA" backup camera. He explained, in quick reference how to use the system and downloaded the owners manual on a flash drive for my daughter to review once she receives her car. Howard was very professional and offered me several options when buying the radio. I would highly recommend Howard and Phantom Electronics for all of your vehicles electronic upgrades. Thank you to everyone at Phantom for a 5 star positive experience. read more

I Purchase the stereo at an online electronics supply. Most stereo places want to up sell you there stuff. No up selling or pressure at Phantom. Not only did they jump at the chance to install our speakers, sub woofer, and stereo but went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. read more

I want to send out a hearty thank you to Howard, Jason and everybody at Phantom electronics. Thank you for taking such good care of my 2005 SL 500. The new upgraded radio is incredible. Very easy to operate in the sound is awesome. If I could give more than five stars to this group I certainly would. From start to finish very professional. You guys are the best, don't change a thing. read more

Howard and his team have been nothing short of phenomenal to deal with. They always take extremely good care of all my vehicles. From the custom sound system in my H1 to just wiring up the radar detector in my tesla, they always over deliver! read more

Phantom Electronics is the only place you need to consider for all your electronic needs. Howard and his group of techs are amazing and highly skilled. . . but more importantly, they are extremely honest and provide great service at competitive rates. Thank you guys for helping with our van! You guys are amazing and the only place I will take my cars. read more

Called them at 3pm Wednesday and asked if they could look at my Jeep with three sets of LED Lights out with no appointment. Howard told me to come right down. He spent a decent amount of time reorganizing my wiring up near the battery and some fuses. He also properly mounted some fuses that were previously getting some water exposure. Lastly, he found a disconnected wire from some of 4 wheel part's work installing my winch on the front bumper. Great people, work and service! Thank you Howard! read more

Howard and his staff are the BEST!!! He's installed stereos and electronics in all my cars over many years. He's knowledgeable, honest and does the job RIGHT the FIRST TIME! Highly recommend! read more

I went to maybe 3-4 other electronic/car stereo stores to try to upgrade my 2001 Tacoma speakers and every place I went to tried to fleece and oversell me and go way outside my budget. They also all just gave the classic runaround and tried to confuse me. Then I was referred to Phantom. No BS. Howard laid out exactly what they were gonna do and they did an absolutely amazing job. Couldn't be happier with my new music setup. Phantoms the best and Howard is the man!! read more

Howard was extremely helpful! I wanted a new sound system in my car but really didn't know exactly what I needed, he talked me through everything and made suggestions based on my taste and budget. After we picked everything out and scheduled a date he was still available on the phone to answer my questions about last minute changes. I could not be happier with the job they did on the installation and the sound of everything, they definitely want above and beyond mounting my sub-woofers and amps! Look no further if you are on the fence, these guys are all around pros. read more

Phantom electronics exceeded my expectations. Everyone there is helpful and knowledgeable. Very respectful and kind. I grew up in a garage with my dad with wet-sanding cars and I know the guys that work on cars take their job seriously. As soon as I walked into this business I knew I was in good hands. They couldn't have been nicer to me. They showed me the information on installing a new navigations system and with that, all the perks of siriusXM, podcasts, music, navigation--the works as my 2014 Mercedes Benz had an ANCIENT system in it....SO outdated and awful. I had to have my waze! I drive all over California working on film sets, I HAVE to rely on a navigation system every day when we drive to new locations all over the State. Within a few minutes I was able to pick out the technology that they would be putting in my car. Their customer service is great and I really appreciated the time the tech took with me explaning everything. No condescending attitudes here just friendly, kind, funny and HONEST men who took great care of me. They reminded me of my dad, a man who always cared about cars and the people who drove them. Also, the owner Sat with me for 30 minutes i my car, showing me everything about my newly installed tech. I have Pandora, podcasts, Waze, Spotify, SiriusXM, Google maps, Spotify & iHeartRadio. I am SET! YES! I am so so happy! SUPER Big thanks to everyone there for being so patient and kind and for giving me my music back again in my car. Also, one more thing, I had bought a Mercedes with a weird ashtray and no charger...I didnt want to keep it that way, so I asked around to see if there were any "compartments" that didn't have an ashtray (that had been used) I was able to replace it with a new, compartment...without an ash tray-and the guys at Phantom Electronics were able to make it work and I got a charger in it! I mean...they are the bomb. I felt so happy to find them and I know if I ewver need anything, these guys are my first call. They are the best and I would recommend them to anyone! read more

My radio was broken. Thought I could live without it but realized I really did need it (talk radio and music). The first place I went to made an appointment and said I would have to buy a new one. A new radio plus installation was going to cost me over $400. Thought I would check out Phantom Electronics on TO Blvd. across from 24 hour fitness. They had me wait about 10 minutes while the young guy diagnosed it. "Good news", he said. It wasn't broken just needed to be reattached. NO CHARGE. This is the most honest car place in town for sure. All he said was, "pay it forward" read more

Now I know why this place has a 5 star rating. This little electronics place seems to be a gem. I stopped over to have my stereo system evaluated, which David did for free and quickly concluded that I didn't need a better one, didn't try to sell me a new one and showed me feature on my new used car I didn't know of. Also helped establish that my Bluetooth does indeed have poor sound quality. What incredible service and kindness. If I ever need anything for my car, this is where I'll go. This place deserves 5 stars! Thank you for helping me with my new Nissan. That was so very kind. read more

Thank you Howard and team for taking care of my SS Camaro ! Howard was extremely knowledgeably and knew the tiniest of details w regards to what my car needed. My new speakers sound amazing. Their quality of work was top notch. Very Happy read more

Howard is a great guy who worked with me on an issue with my 2018 Hyundai Accent. We were in constant communication waiting on a part for my car, and when all was said and done the price was much lower than I had anticipated, and the repair only took a few hours. I will definitely be a repeat customer when the need arises. Thanks! read more

I took my jeep wrangler in because my stereo had been intermittently loosing power. Howard said he thought he knew what the issue was, an interface module. Which he replaced. Much to my dismay the following day the issue returned. So I brought my jeep back in a second time. Howard discovered a recall issue on my jeep where the fuses in the fuse box may become loose over time. Howard put a tiny bit of solder on the legs of the fuse (even did a second fuse for a backup). When I asked him how much I owed him for the second visit he said no charge. I said I had to pay something because they spent time on it. He said, and I quote, "if in a couple months I haven't had any issues and I'm feeling flushed with money I can come back in and pay" It has actually been at least a month with no more issues, so I'll be back, haha read more

Bought a used truck with a Gerry-rigged radio. Went on the fritz so much I justified getting it replaced even though the truck cost $7k. Howard showed me my options and even though I thought I would shop around the customer service was so good I forewent any competitors. Took my dogs for a run and came back early and he was graciously welcoming to two young ACDs not comfortable with anyone besides me and my alpha female. As we waited I saw them fix so much of the duct tape and bubble gUm system that existed and moreso, he was out of the base model we agreed on so he installed the next higher model at no extra charge. I am so happy with my new truck radio and product + install cost less than $350. Can't wait to come back here to put a dash cam into my new BMW. Great people, great prices, great service. Total gem. read more

A staple in our community! Thank you Howard for the wonderful service and the time you spent with me to make sure my new car had all the right features on it! The staff is very knowledgeable, but if they do not have the answer Howard will. I have been bringing my cars here for over 20 years and would not even look at another place. Trust me they will answer all your needs! Tim RX Fitness read more

These guys are great and very helpful. I brought my truck in for a new stereo head unit and back up camera and they did a excellent job, the stereo unit looks amazing. Unfortunately the back up camera that was chosen for the tailgate handle wasn't going to work so they installed the license plate one, which was more expensive, at the price we agreed on for the handle one. Howard then went through all the functions of stereo and camera settings and answered all the questions I had. These guys are the only ones I trust with the electronics and stereo system for my truck. They even installed an alarm when I first bought my truck after the Toyota dealership couldn't be bothered to. Howard and the guys at phantom are very professional and efficient. I wouldn't have to think twice about going back for anything I need in the future. read more

My car's stereo wouldn't shut off, so I called Phantom because they were close to my work and I needed a quick fix. I was able to drop my car off and within hours get the issue resolved! They were so thorough and accommodating to me and my situation. This will definitely be my go-to for any car electronic needs. Thank you Phantom Electronics! read more

I've been looking for a shop to upgrade my stereo in my F-150, since my stock 6 CD changer stop playing cd's and added SiriusXM to the truck. I went to a known shop and made appointment but then got sticker shock at price (which should have been done at time of making appointment), in short out of my budget and another shop was shady, so looked for other shops outside my area. I found Howard and Phantom Electronics and the Yelp reviews were really good. So, drove to T.O. and got there around 2:30 on a Saturday afternoon, explained my issue, what I was looking for, the trouble I had. Howard listened and gave me options, touchscreen or buttons, sat radio, CD/DVD. I didn't need navigation, back up camera. Showed me my options instead of just showing me only one option, did the numbers and gave the price. Which I asked, that's everything, with tax, any other weird stuff. He said that's everything, the parts, additional wiring, labor and was in my price range. So I asked when could do it, by this time, they will close in about 2-3 hours, Howard checked with his installer and got me in. His installer ran me thru all the options, controls, paired my phone, explained pretty much everything. So if you need anything done with your stereo, speakers, Bluetooth, all that stuff, save your time, make the trip to T.O. aka Thousand Oaks and Phantom Electronics, Howard and his entire staff are complete professionals with their customer service, work and not selling you what you don't need, only what you are needing and wanting. Thank You Once Again Howard, the new guy, my installer for a great, wonderful and satisfying experience!!! TC read more

Phantom Electonics was amazing! I was in a big pinch to get my speakers fixed before a long road trip and Howard came to the rescue! He was so helpful and gave me a very reasonable price. read more

Had another great experience at Phantom Electronics. This time I had an air horn installed. The best part, however, was that Howard (the owner) was willing to go above and beyond to accommodate me by installing a couple of aftermarket grilles while the bumper was off. This saved a lot of time and the hassle it would have taken to do it myself. There's a reason Phantom Electronics has not one review less than 5-star, obviously they are doing something right and they take care of the customer. read more

Brilliance at it finest!!!! PERIOD !! Howard and his team provided great customer service and designed my system that has brought me pure JOY! Spend your hard earned money here, you will not be disappointed! read more

I purchased a pre-owned Lexus NX and discovered roof damage including destruction of rooftop GPS Antenna which required replacement and reconnection. At a fraction of the cost of what the dealer and an independent body shop quoted me, Phantom was able to do the work which included removal and re-installation of the entire headliner of the interior, installation of new components to the exterior antenna and securing it properly to the roof. The repair area was absolutely pristine and the new antenna works perfectly. Yes... I had to wait a bit of time to get an appointment, as they are busy because they do such great work... and it was absolutely worth it. This repair was done last year and everything they did is still great. read more

Still great! Brought in my Grand Marquis for a component front speaker setup that sounds just like I was looking for, nice and clear with a good front sound stage that the muddy knee level 3way speakers already in it just couldn't do. Howard grabbed the perfect speakers for me before I was even done telling him what I was looking for! Didn't try to up-sell or pressure into anything I didn't need. Even on a busy day they had the whole thing done and ready to go in about an hour. I'll likely come back for a subwoofer install at some point in the future! read more

Great customer service. I had electronic walk away locks put in my Audi 7 years ago. They haven't been working for a few few months now, so I scheduled to get them looked at just to see if there was anything that could be done. I honestly didn't think they could be fixed considering it was so long ago and considering what I originally got is now so out of date and probably no longer used. To my surprise, Howard and his team are fantastic and somehow fixed them. I was expecting to have to pay something since the time thats passed seems like a lifetime but they did this all with no additional cost to me. I will definitely recommend this business and take my car and future cars here for any special needs or add ons. They are efficient, product knowledgeable, talented and care about their customers! Thank you for making a morning of no sleep very satisfactory! You have a customer for life! read more

Came in for some speaker terminal ends. They had Exactly what I need and no charge. Very nice would definitely come back.

Listen up guys, Howard SAVED ME $300! - And that's not even the best part about my experience with Phantom Electronics. I brought in my 1988 Volkswagen Vanagon Camper because my Kenwood radio wasn't turning on at all. Shortly before going over to Phantom, I was at Al and Ed's Autosound (and I really don't want to trash talk another business but I feel like it must be said in this particular circumstance) Al and Ed's performed a very sloppy inspection and told me my radio was fried and they could replace it for $387 total. Absolutely ridiculous, I just had a gut feeling that they were scamming me. I immediately drove over to Phantom Electronics and they took a look at my sound system and they instantly realized that my radio was completely fine, just a blown fuse. They solved the problem VERY quickly and thoroughly, and to be honest, it was truly the best experience because of their HONESTY. Howard and the team at Phantom Electronics are simply the best. Not only are they excellent at what they do and extremely professional, but, they are also just great human beings who are simply just trying to help other people. What a great business and an absolute class act, I will be back. Come here!!! read more

I needed some wiring for backup cameras on my work utility truck. I contacted a few different places and Howard really seemed to know what he was talking about and gave me a great quote for the job. He was able to do the job the next day and it turned out great and he stayed within the quote. Great job!!! read more

I had first called and talked to Howard. He told me he would have to get some information regarding my installation of an alarm on my 2021 Rav 4 hybrid.. I followed up 2 weeks later and he said he still has not received information. I never heard anything more from him at all to this date & time. Poor customer service & follow up. read more

Howard is extremely amicable, knowledgeable and honest. His employees are very skilled and get the job right the first time. His business is now my "neighborhood electronic store". Thanks again Howard and keep doing what you're doing! read more

Not so good. These car stereo places seem to be on the overpriced side. They think that just because they can dissemble and reassemble a car door that rationalizes them to overcharge you. It happened here and another place too. Next time I'm going to Best Buy or walmart. I found out they do the same thing for a lot less read more

I have had nothing but good experiences with them, having had them install or repair several things for me on a couple of cars. One thing turned out to not work so well, not their fault - was the device - and found them to be helpful and patient throughout the experience. I don't post many reviews, but felt the need to balance out these bad reviews as my experiences have been consistently positive. read more
