Had a new key fob system installed. Did a good job, but charged $150 for one hour of installation. Actually took about 5 minutes. ???? Got an estimate to install a $260 new CarPlay radio for $530 installation fee! Be careful with their install fees. Grossly overpriced for the time it actually takes. Look elsewhere first or do it yourself. Was also supposed to get an estimate to install new car seats. Was supposed to call me back that day. Never happened... to this day. read more

They installed remote start (with Drone app) on my Lexus truck. It works as intended. I had viper remote start installed by another company on my teen's Lexus a few months ago. I wasn't too impressed plus they were stupid expensive!! So after they did my truck, I asked if they could install the smart start app on his truck for longer range. They explained all and were able to. They were professional throughout and finished on time as promised. Prices were fair and reasonable. read more

These guys are magnificent!!! After going to the Lexus dealership, where they couldn't tell me why my factory radio wasn't playing and my car is a Lexus. Safe & Sound got my factory radio to work. Then did a superb job on installing me a new one. Not to mention the customer service was top tier. Thank you Jared & Mark. read more

Just want to say this shop is fantastic!! I had a car display problem that I had asked several people to help with & even went to the dealer who could not solve it either. The two guys, Michael & Jared at Safe & Sound saved the day! The worked on my issue for quite a while. They were so knowledgeable & friendly and worked diligently until it was solved. They gave me great tips along the way I am very appreciative & everyone should support them. Thanks Safe & Sound!! read more

I received 'free' advice that was worth what I paid. I was told quickly what was wrong with my radio (which isn't true) and the solution was a new $160 radio that would cost $460 installed. Not something my budget allows. But a new to me old radio that I can plug and play was a good suggestion. So, three stars for that! read more

Very snobby refuse me service thinks hes better than everybody Says they've been around the longest I need to know how much wattage is coming out of my amp and I don't know what I'm talking about Just wanting 6 by 9 with a little more power Have the gain Turn down halfway read more

Donnie helped me pick out the right hardware for my 2019 Silverado crew cab's sound system. This is what we both came to the conclusion of ordering: -Focal PS 165 FXE (front) -Focal 165ACs (rear) -Powered by JL VXi -JL FiX - 82 to integrate system to stock head unit & JL Stealthbox powered by a JL XD1000/1 under the rear seat. When I get another vehicle I'm going to take it here for it's sound system without a doubt. Thanks again guys! read more

After 12 years without an aftermarket system (someone needed to sacrifice so we could haul groceries lol), I finally decided it was time for an upgrade. I drove a little over 2 hours to visit Donny and his shop in Manassas at the suggestion of my husband. I was looking to add a little bass, but not so much that it would overpower the factory speakers in my '24 Integra. Donny provided me with 4 really great options, patiently answered all of my questions, and took the time to place a couple of the speakers in my trunk so that I could see how they would fit in the space I had to work with. Installation took the better part of a day, but the end result shows the staff takes pride in their work. Very clean install--any visible wires are wrapped in a black fabric-like material so they blend into the trunk, and the bass knob is tucked away near the hood release inside the cabin. My husband was worried the JL Audio ACP208LG-W3v3 (MicroSub+™ with dual 8" subs and 500-watt amp) wouldn't hit hard enough for my liking, but after making a couple adjustments to the front-rear speaker fade control (I had the rear speakers set really low since I occasionally transport dogs for a rescue), these subs will make the seats vibrate at a mid-range volume. Excellent experience all around and worth the drive. Husband is quite impressed. Will definitely return if I decide to proceed with additional upgrades. read more

TLDR: Prepared to buy a set of components but ended up with a better subwoofer that achieved what I was actually looking for in my car stereo. I walked in today, ready to buy a set of new components for my car. Before actually selecting a set of speakers, Donnie went to my car and did some tuning to my current equipment. He asked me to listen to a couple more songs and then go back in and talk to him. I did so and while I was listening he was doing some research on components for me, in the event I still wasn't satisfied. After listening to a couple of songs, I went inside and told him where I thought the audio was lacking. He recommended that I switch to a ported subwoofer and put one into my trunk and let me repeat the same test as earlier. The change was incredible and am glad I was able to speak with him before making a different purchase. Absolutely great experience and would highly recommend them. Thanks, Donnie! read more

Highly recommend. Had some work done and the sound wasn't great coming from the truck. Lots of rattle and distortion; felt like the sound was cheap. While I did have to go back in for a second visit; the team was fantastic and went above and beyond to make me happy. New sound is perfect, so rich and bass filled. The pricing is spot on and I never felt taken advantage of. Yes, you probably can get it somewhere else cheaper but it will sound like shit. Yes, it really will. read more

These guys did a really wonderful job on the Kenwood stereo install. They were able to do it the same day and within 2 hours. They charged less than the price they quoted when they said a cheaper cost stereo of the same quality was available. I'd definitely go there again. Randy read more

My wife's 2010 Lincoln MKX sound system went kaput... Safe and sound gave me a number of options we put in a moderately priced solution that it also add as a back up camera and a nice screen... The system is shut up to connect to the iPhone so that it can be runs totally on the sound system off of the screen will be a great depression... Technician took plenty of time to walk my wife through the features of the system and I can say were both very satisfied! read more

Fantastic service. Spent the time with me to figure out exactly what I wanted done to my car. I had to change the date of the appointment last minute and they were able to do that without an issue. Customer service is amazing. They walked and showed me everything that was done and what to look out for in the future. Even sat down and tuned the stereo for me which other than fixing the back up camera, had nothing else done. That made me really happy to see they cared about those little things. Will definitely be coming back for future projects. read more

We've now brought two cars to Safe & Sound for radios and they are the best. Very high quality work everything from affordable to top of the line systems. We highly recommend them! read more

I recently took my Tacoma to safe and sound where I met Donnie for a initial estimate of having a caliraised premium roof rack with a combo light bar and front and rear lights installed. The initial sales order was for $572.40 with a install date of 2 June 2023....the install date was changed to 9 June 2023 due to overbooking and lack of man power in the shop. When I dropped the truck off at 10am on 9 June Donnie assured me the truck would be completed with install by 2 or 3pm being the latest. At 5:44pm I received a call that the truck would not be ready it was taking longer then expected and it would be done by 11am the next day. 10 June I waited to after 12pm then went to the shop where they were still working on the install. After numerous hours 4:20 pm the truck was final completed (to there standards) in which time I was ready to pay the balance of said original agreement of 572.40 I did understand they used some of there own product so expected a few extra dollars add on. Then Donnie tried to bill me for $1350 with 12 hours of labor at $130 per hour. I did contact caliraisedled to confirm install man hours for all materials of the rack and lighting and was told 4-5 hours. I did refuse to pay the $1350 and ended up paying $943.39 which was still overcharged. Donnie tried to say I said it was "ok" for the added on charge when he told me they were not done...I was being considerate and patient with them taking longer then expected not opening my wallet for assault. Also the job was not fully completed even Donnie said he did not like how the ziptide wires on top....will say thank you to the installer for not letting Donnie drill and put a junk switch inside my control panel, instead he left it open for me and told me what to get. Para la comunidad espanola....cuidado Donnie no toner paciencia para tartar de hablaros Comoros me dijo en la tied a despues de que se fue un caballero espanol. Owner of this shop you have a cancer that is not good for this community running it his integrity is non existent and he does not support the people of Manassas. read more

Well, now I've had these guys do work on 4 different cars - from a pretty simple remote starter on a Kia to my current fully active SQ install. I have experience with both locations and I prefer Manassas. For your audio needs I recommend talking to Jesse. He is their guru. read more

Good Equipment; Good Service We moved into a new house that didn't have a garage. Precious is very delicate, and she doesn't want to go out in the cold to start the car. So she wanted to have a remote starter installed. She was referred to these people by her boss. She went there and inquired, and they arranged a day to have the item installed. We came in that day and dropped the car off. When we came back, it was done, and a young man took us out into the car and gave us a full complete demonstration of the equipment. The guy was very professional. The whole process was seamless. The equipment works great. What else is there to say? read more

I have been a customer of this store for 25 years- since 1998 when living in Manassas park. Back then, there were Audio Buys, Sound Solution, Crutchfield etc. but always chose Safe and Sound. To say I spent A LOT of money purchasing Viper car alarm systems, Alpine head units, rims for 3 different cars, etc. Is an understatement. I live an hour away in Orange County and still decided to support this store, but not anymore. I was greeted by a Korean guy with black glasses and a ball cap on, when I walked through the door and I asked about a JL Audio amplifier. Before I could even get out any questions or anything he was headed to the back to grab it so I could purchase it. I had to stop him as I just wanted to ask questions about it. I was not there to purchase it yet. We then proceeded to talk about a speaker box in which he said it would fit perfectly in my vehicle. He was a very smooth talker and a fast talker. We then went to look at RCA cables, the reason I was there. He was showing what was available and asked my wife to close her ears as he was referring to the items with sexual jokes, which was cringe worthy, VERY uncomfortable and unprofessional. At that point, I decided I wasn't going to purchase anything as he became creepy and perverted. I decided to just leave and he realized I wasn't going to purchase anything, as I was walking out, he asked what kind of vehicle I had, very nicely, and basically dismissed me and said there is nothing in the whole store that would work and it would be a $10,000 job, with a very nasty attitude. He turned simple RCA cables into what could of been a very bad argument. Thank goodness I kept my cool and just left. I will no longer support this store, after the poor customer service, the blatant disrespect to my wife and I with inappropriate sexual jokes, the attitude I had to endure, etc. All because I wanted to go in and price items and purchase some items for my vehicle. I now have an appointment with Crutchfield in Charlottesville, VA. Thank goodness there is always a light at the end of the tunnel and my car will be complete within a few days. WOMEN BEWARE.....do not go here alone, bring someone with you!! read more

These guys are great! They respond to Yelp estimates with the quickness. Rates are fair but can be beat. Customer lounge is NICE. Quiet, spacious, plenty of different kinds of comfortable and clean seating, and stocked with water. Even has its own bathroom. Would have been nice if there was some coffee up there and the ability to watch your car being worked on but nobody is perfect. Quality of work is impeccable. You will not leave disappointed. They really know what they're doing. read more

I've been a customer of Safe & Sound for over four years now, and only just realized that I've never written a thing about them. This will not stand! Most of my friends have now experienced the technological kludge-fest that is my car. Well, I'm here to tell you that Rich P. and the good folks at Safe & Sound are not to blame for anything that doesn't work when you're in the Batmobile. No, they fix things and build things. They fix and build the stupid "hey, I've got an idea!" concepts I come up with. So they deserve some real admiration for their successes when it comes to off-the-wall custom car electronics (like a PC running XP with a touchscreen interface, USB ports in the center console, a rear view cam, etc). They're the pit crew every hardcore geek secretly (or maybe openly) craves. Respect for what they've done over the last four years with my car. I can't believe no one else has said it yet, so let me be the first! Try them out. It's worth the drive from Arlington out to Manassas for this level of expertise. read more

These guys are great. Upgraded my 2013 Audi with wireless CarPlay that works with the MMI system. Like a new

I had a remote compustar start system installed in my 2017 Honda Accord. These guys really did a fantastic job. They helped me with pricing on various systems and explained the options. I really appreciated their excellent customer service. The installation was flawless. Please don't hesitate to contact them if you need audio, security or remote start systems in your car. You won't regret it. read more

There was confusion during my installation which resulted in a system which did match the initial design specs. When I raised this with the owner, he immediately stepped and corrected the situation, absorbing some of the cost to make it right. Great service! read more

There is a lot to be said for customer service, individual attention, and truly valuing the consumer. It is one thing to say it in an ad; it is a completely different level of commitment to hold this ideal as a primary driver behind your business model. Safe and Sound does it in spades. I have been using Safe and Sound, initially on the suggestion of a friend, since I moved out to DC four years ago. I have every reason to continue to do so. Solid pricing, great selection of product, and employees who treat you like a client instead of a customer. You want an example of how to get repeat business: go to Safe and Sound read more

Recently I had a JL stealth subwoofer installed and the experience was great. From consultation, quoting, and scheduling. The installation was done on the date they committed and the sound and quality exceeded my expectations. These guys know what they are doing when it comes to sound. I highly recommend their products and services. read more

They are over priced and in the 4 interactions I have had with this company have been negative over all. I recommend buying from a online retailer. I will say that a few of the people that work there have been helpful but don't let this over shadow the negative interactions I have had with them. read more

Dropped in to pick up a wiring harness and 4x6 speakers for my John Deere tractor. Walked out with a wiring harness and a pair of JL 4in speakers. Recommendation from the associate worked out great and I like the 4in speakers a lot better then the 4x6 that were previously installed. read more

So this is a re-review after having visit the other location, as well as returning to the Manassas location with a friend to watch what happen. It seemed night and day from the first encounter to the next. There are a few places that offer less expensive prices, however I was informed Safe and Sound will match some prices. The sales rep this time was much more patient and even offered a bit of advice. I am glad to say that the customer service was much more on par than my first visit. I do plan on getting work done here in the near future. read more

These guys took my 2016 F150 and made it sound amazing. Factory stereo integration, DSP, door speaker upgrade and subwoofer and amp. Sounds sooooo good. Seemed a little bit pricey on the labor but tbh I didn't shop around and I am totally satisfied with the finished product. read more

Customer service was great from Mark (manassas), he answered all my questions in regards to window tint issue (not with them, but to repair) and remote start. I look forward to getting my car done and will keep you posted once i get the work done. Also what I love is if they cant service you there at the Manassas location, they will get you set up in there other location in Chantilly which is great. Thanks again Mark it was a pleasure speaking to you!!! read more

I was able to get really great advice regarding cameras . They also did some custom work that I feel was done exceptionally well. Each time I go in I'm greeted by knowledgeable and helpful technicians. read more

I have had a number of installations completed by Safe & Sound on multiple vehicles at both their Manassas, and Chantilly locations and they just keep outdoing themselves! I have a fairly rare vehicle (definitely not a common vehicle to work on) and they have had 0 issues or reasons for me to return for modifications or fixes afterwards, which can be a frustrating factor in aftermarket accessory installation. I have definitely experienced that elsewhere in the past. Today I had custom interior accent lighting and the replacement of my OEM rear reflectors with powered versions spliced in to my existing exterior lighting and the results were beyond what I expected! Super clean (and timely) work by the installer and outstanding professionalism from everyone from the price estimator who actually came in with a final number lower than the original quote and the owner himself who reached out to ensure everything was set up correctly. Oh yeah, and they got me in to complete the work same day! (this obviously is not a guarantee for every job but it's a big plus for me with a very packed schedule). Truly the best installation in VA, if not the entire Mid-Atlantic region, and beyond. I HIGHLY recommend Safe and Sound for all your vehicle installation needs! read more

As a service disabled veteran and small business owner I must say that this small business does great work and takes care of its employees. I started my search for service using Yelp and I sent them a message and within a few hours the owner responded to my inquiry inviting me to visit one of his locations. I visited both of his locations and were very pleased with the locations layout and very helpful staff. I ended up choosing his Manassas location because it was closer to my home. There the sales staff was very helpful and knowledgeable about what I was looking for. Once my job was done the service tech spent as much time as I needed going over the install and capabilities of my new system. The work was top notch and very well done. in closing, they are not the cheapest but neither is anything that is above average in life. This owner takes good care of his employees and you can not achieve that by being a cheap place. consumers need to understand that in order to keep quality people you have to pay and treat them well. In order to do that you have to sell quality parts and service at a fair price and that is what I experienced at this location. So if you care about your car sound and you want the best team working on your vehicle then this organization is the place to chose. read more

i approached the company through yelp for a dashcam install quote. although i had installed several of them before, i didnt want to tear up my new car. Fast foward about a month later, they installed my dashcam. i was a bit on pins and needles as i had never done business with them before and i was definitely concerned for my car (only had about 500 miles on it). But, when i showed up to pick it up, i was pleasantly impressed. I have an extensive engineering background and can say the installation was very professional. i could not even tell anyone was in my vehicle outside of the new dashcam present. it did cost a bit more than orginially quoted, but they did a flawless job and i was very happy with the quality of work. I would recommend their services and use them in the future. read more

I called Safe and Sound and asked about having a stereo installed in my boat for me. I had used them in the past and thought they had done good work. I was told originally to bring the boat by and they could do the install for me. I then called when I was on my way and they said to just bring it by for an estimate. After I arrived the person from the store came out and looked at the boat. In the matter of a minute he said they were to busy and it was be 3 weeks before they could install it. He did call the other location and said they could do it the following week. I needed to put the boat in storage and could not wait. The employee then walked off and went back in the store. I was then left to put the cover back on and turn a 32 foot boat around in the small parking lot as the employee watched out the window. I will never use Safe and Sound again. read more

Could not be happier! Customer service is amazing. Safe and Sound installed window tint on my 2015 Ecoboost Mustang. After a month I noticed an imperfection in the tint on the passenger window. I called them up and they had me come in the following week. The tint was fixed free of charge no questions asked! Thank you! read more

Safe and Sound hooked me up with some sound enhancement for my new car awhile back. Mark and the team have been great; I've had a couple times where I brought it back in just to make sure something was ok, and they always take the time to look at my vehicle and make sure everything's fine. I appreciate their patience and expertise. read more

I thought I already wrote a review here, but I don't see it. Anyway, go to these guys. They rock. I had them install a Bluetooth module on a 2006 BMW X3 and when it was all said and done, it worked WAY better than the factory Bluetooth in my Acura. Pro install, no headaches. Solid overall experience. read more

I used to go to Safe and Sound back in the day (08-11) almost on a daily basis and they charged very reasonable rates along with great quality products and installs. I had not required their services since then. I just finished up two projects with them and they were honest with their pricing, refunding me part of the money when they overestimated how long it would take. The guy could have taken advantage of me and charged me the regular quote, but the fact that he didnt shows how honest they are out there. Their work is also top notch and after everything they install, it works as intended. I will continue to use them in the future for all my stereo/lighthing needs. read more

I've been going here for years and feel like the guys here really know what they are doing and they have a great line-up. My only complaint is they keep trying to push that super expensive !@#@&@# K-40 unit on me while K-40 themselves don't recommend their unit in VA. But I keep coming back to this place. And if I ever have a problem with anything they did or a bad piece of equipment most likely, they take care of it. They even FINALLY installed a remote start on my manual transmission car, something I had wanted for ages, plenty of remote starts for automatics but like pulling teeth to get a remote start for the manual transmission. Now if only I had the $$$ for an infrared viewer install. read more
