TLDR; If you're looking for someone who knows how to put together an SQ system that sounds impeccable, this is the guy. He saved me after the previous installer just couldn't get it done. ------- If you look at my reviews, I'm not an easy customer. Many would rate me as a "Karen" if I'm quite honest... but Maor at Simon's was absolutely great from start to finish. Even when I got stressed out, he was calm and communicated well. He won't put bad gear in your car, so be prepared to spend some money, but he won't upsell you on stuff you don't need either and you get accurate, detailed prices on every component and aspect of installation. The overall installation price was maybe a bit over average, but I feel like I got an amazing deal for the amount of time and effort he put into every detail. So worth it. The service, care, quality of the install and the sound is night and day compared to what I got from my previous installer. It's not even in the same league. He spent a lot of time getting the gear right for my preferences and my EV's limitations before we even started. He gave me full breakdowns of different levels of sound insulation/deadening to choose from. He communicated in detail with pictures for updates and questions while he was doing the install. He worked with me on the tune and gave me multiple tunings to choose from, as well as other ways to help dial in the sound I wanted for my very diverse taste in music. There were no surprises and no problems when I picked it up and paid. Just pure joy listening to my new system. The system sounds great at all volumes with all music. I'm not an audiophile (and neither are 99% of the other people who claim to be)... but I do have a good ear, and I love me some clear, deep, bone shaking bass that doesn't overpower the reset of the music. I've had it for almost 2 months now and it brings me nothing but pure joy. That joy is worth every penny I spent. Not a feeling that's easy to get these days. read more

These guys installed a whole new car sound system for me. Always wanted a better system but it got urgent when some of my current speakers started going out. Maor made an honest (and specific - other places just gave a price without model numbers or anything) plan based around my budget to get the most out of it. Ended with all Kenwood speakers and sub, new JBL head unit with wireless Car Play, along with door and trunk deadening to eliminate vibrations (not initially in the plan, but after the first listen I wanted it and it made a WORLD of difference). LOVING my driving experience now! Did it all in a day. Highly recommend this place! P.S. writing this while sitting in my car bathing in this sound. Don't wanna get out! read more

Simon's Stereo - Car Stereo Installation Near Me - North Hollywood, California

I want to give a big shout out to Simon and his son Maor(who did the set up of my cars audio system). Long story short,i came into upgrading my cars stock audio system without any prior knowledge of car audio and went with a guy who somehow made my sound system worse after dropping a significant amount of money on some new speakers and an amp. Looking to get help to fix it, I ended up messaging with Maor who asked me to come by and check out what was going on. For what I wanted in sound, Maor gave me an honest answer and options on how to get the system I wanted. I was hesitant at first, but took the plunge and decided to go with his suggestion that included a DSP amp and whole new set of speakers for mid/high/lows and sound deadening. Man, after about 2 months of coming in and slowly building this system, I can honestly say that I am extremely happy with how it turned out. I gave Maor an idea of what type of sound I wanted and he eventually got it there 100%. He dedicated all his day to tuning my system to exactly where I wanted it and kept me updated through the day on how things were going. He also upgraded some of speakers for free, which he didn't need to do. Maor made me realize that I'm somewhat of a audiophile, and what I wanted wouldn't be cheap, but his dad and him never pushed me to pay beyond what I was comfortable with and I think that is something that is hard to come by these days with small business. I'll definitely be coming back in the future and recommend you check them out, even for just an honest opinion on what to do and what it will take where you want to be with your audio system. read more

I got recommended this place by the shop that changed my oil and let me tell you I'm sure glad they did! The shop is very let's say vintage haha but don't let looks deceive you they do great work here and at a super reasonable price. The owner, Simon, was very helpful and walked me through the different types of tent variations. I went with the middle option. I had it completed about a week ago and now that it's been getting a little hotter I've noticed a significant difference in how much cooler my car stays. Highly recommend. Also, if Charlie the golden is there say hi he's super friendly read more

After 23 years, I finally wanted to replace the stereo in my 2003 Toyota Camry. I was warned the act of replacing might crack the old heat-worn plastic framing on the console. I went to Simon's stereo figuring that leaving it to professionals was my best bet. They were honest about the risk involved and also took great care with the removal of the framing. The installation was a success! Thanks guys! read more

Expeditiously installed alarm system on my vehicle. Considering additional service from this vendor.

Excellent prices and great service. Will definitely do business with them again..........................

I wanted to upgrade my stereo unit to an Apple Car Play Unit. I've always seen this company while driving home and a few years ago, heard of a good experience with a friend getting a unit installed. I also wanted a backup camera. I have an older car, 2006 Nissan Altima, so I was worried about the compatibility read more

I had a Great experience Andi found them very knowledgeable . What they installed sounds great and exceeded my expectations

I have had three different cars tinted here, I have never had a problem with any. This location is honestly so fast and easy and my tent always looks amazing! I will recommend over and over again. The prices are also very reasonable. read more

I took in my new Bentley Bentayga even though it's a $300k car, it has Honda Covid stock speakers from China in it. Maor works on the high end vehicles and really took a considerable amount of time to assess what the best output can be. He spent countless hours on this vehicle fine tuning every aspect. We went with Audison Prima door speakers, audison Voce tweeters, a 10 inch HERTZ sub with audison amplifiers and a Zen system. I used a 10 inch subwoofer as I did not want to compromise trunk space. The system is night and day better, Maor is also very patient as I took the car in two more times just to fine-tune the base and treble, he never got annoyed and wanted to make sure the car audio was perfect before giving me the vehicle. Also had a tint job done, which came out super clean. He is very honest and I know I paid the best price in the city of Los Angeles. Thank you for the great experience! read more

My first time branching out to Simon's Stereo on Lankershim was a great experience. I was a little unsure at first, but they made everything easy from the moment I walked in. Their pricing was affordable, the service was quick, and the customer service was genuinely excellent--they treated me with patience and respect, answered my questions, and got the job done fast without cutting corners. I left really happy with the whole experience and will definitely be recommending them to friends and family! Couldn't recommend more read more

Quickly job was smooth and I cannot describe more. How much are happy with the sounds I have in my car if you're looking to have someone this is the place. Thank you so much. I recommend to everyone to use them and you can put the trust on them. Super happy thanks. read more

Great stereo shop! Im a car enthusiast and very picky about where I take my cars and who I trust with them. These guys know what they're doing and I can honestly say that this is the shop to take your car to. Left the car very clean after the job was done and the gave me one price and stuck to it. 10/10 would recommend! read more

Thank you Simon's stereo team for the seamless hardwired installation of a VIOFO dashcam on my 4Runner. The service was quick and efficient, and they have the best prices in town. read more

Unfortunately, my experience at Simon's was disappointing. I brought my car in to have Apple CarPlay installed, but they were unable to get the system to work properly. I left with a partially installed setup--no functioning music--and was told that if I wanted them to try again, I'd need to pay even more. No guarantee, just more charges. That didn't sit right with me, so I took my car to another shop. They completed the installation quickly and flawlessly--and everything works perfectly now. I'm leaving this review not out of malice, but to help others avoid a costly detour. I wish it had worked out with Simon's, but I can't recommend them based on my experience. read more

When it comes to trusting someone to handle/upgrade my vehicle I take it very seriously. They have to know what they're doing and Simon and his team have delivered every time. I've gotten window tint, speakers and other audio upgrades over the years from him and they deliver with high quality work and beat the competitions pricing every single time! Highly recommend. read more

Simon's Stereo is absolute gem of a shop! So glad I found them through Yelp and their reviews because they are just as amazing as others have talked about them! I had some troubles with my car stereo and as a girl I was a bit worried going in to ask for help since I didn't want to get taken advantage of but both Simon and his son were honest and straight up with me. They told me my stereo was done for and quoted me a great price on a new one plus labor. I had my brothers at home confirm and even talk with them after to make sure I was all set. So happy with their job that I'm looking forward to the next time I can upgrade my system more or have them do window tinting. read more

Living in Austin, TX its hard to find shops that I feel I can trust since cars just aren't what they used to be. So many connected systems now, but what is even more surprising is service and guidance Maor offered even though I couldn't send my car to his shop in CA. He continued to advise me on ideas and recommendation without hesitation, discuss builds and even multiple options to consider. read more

Ive been to Simon's Stereo a few times already, so has my dad and my husband, and they always take care of us. Their pricing is very fare and the owner is always transparent when I bring things by. Couldn't be happier coming here. Great place! And being a woman it's very important to not feel like you're being taken advantage of when you go to handle anything car related. I never do when I come here read more

Horrible tint job. Told him when I picked up the car the tint was scratched up. He didn't listen. Went somewhere else for retint. The best warranty is the one you don't have to use. Come here if you want to pay twice. read more

Simon was so great and informative. Very honest about his prices and suggested workarounds where necessary. His team was very polite and I can tell even from the people I met with my first service appointment with Simon, that he builds great relationships with his customers as I met a guy who has had his fifth vehicle worked on by Simon who refuses to go anywhere else because of the quality work and friendship he's made. Thanks, Simon! Tyler Emery 1995 Ford F-350 read more

I brought my car in because I had blown out my front left-dash and front left-door speakers. They let me know the speakers come in pairs, so I'd need all 4 units in the front replaced. I told them that was fine as long as the speakers sounded better than before - and they do! It was a really great value to get them replaced; I was expecting to pay more for that + labor. It took a little over an hour to replace the four speakers and the sound is much better than before, which I'm very pleased with since I mentioned to them that I work in music. At first there was a rattle because of a loose piece, but they worked to quickly identify and fix the issue. They worked with me to make sure I was happy with my speakers, which I appreciate. Very happy with my overall experience here and plan to come back to eventually get dash cams installed and upgrade my overall Soundsystem with subwoofers. read more

I recently had an install done at Simon's Stereo of a bluetooth unit in my Acura for my iPhone. Simon was very helpful, gave me a couple of great options even considering the age of my car with excellent pricing and was able to turn the job around very fast. Great customer service and price was super reasonable. I highly recommend Simon and his crew! Thank you! read more

Very professional, easy to work with, and got the job done well. Also went over and beyond with some customer service stuff, thank you again! read more

GREAT EXPERIENCE. Called ahead got a quote, then stopped by the next day. After seeing my car, they revised my quote DOWN, refused to upsell me on the head unit ("for what you want, this is the right unit. you can pay more, but you won't get more for that money.") and then installed it on the spot, in less than two hours. highly recommended. read more

I was so well taken care of and you will be too. Install the new stereo system and headlights. Easy to deal with and a good price.

They actually helped me out of 2 bs situations today; quickly, efficiently and professionally. First off, I got my truck back from transmission service and the radio was working, but not putting out sound. I have no idea how the transmission service would've jacked up my radio, and I was getting ready to yank it out of the dash assuming they had pulled a wire out, but figured I'd stop by and have Simon's look into it and they immediately found that the transmission guys had left a wire hanging loose in the engine bay, that should've been attached to the battery. Quick fix. Then, because my truck had greasy handprints all over it from the transmission work, I took it to be detailed and when I left the car wash my radio was cutting in and out; turns out that they had gotten water into my amplifier and ruined that, there by costing me $250 for a new amplifier. (I'll have to fight that fight later), but Simon's got me hooked up with a new amplifier super fast at the end of their day. read more

They installed a dash cam for me this week and did a great job. They finished the job in under an hour, were super easy to work with and so far looks like they did a great job! Their rate was consistent with the other quotes I received so their pricing is definitely fair. Thanks so much! read more

I love this store! Over the years, I have brought all my cars here for window tinting. I've brought in my Chrysler 300, Ford Fusion, Nissan Altima, Acura TL, and now my Lexus GX and my girlfriend's Prius. They also installed wireless Apple CarPlay in both cars. I have never had any issues with any of the cars I've brought here. The staff makes you feel like a friend, which is a rare find these days. I highly recommend Simon's Stereo to anyone looking to get work done on their car if you want high quality for a great price. read more

Simon is a very reasonable guy.. I came in with my girlfriend's car and he changed out the speakers to ones we thought we wanted. Turned out we didn't actually want them and so he swapped them back out. Thank u so much Simon read more
