Took great care of my van!
Debbie B.

Amazing service and staff I live in Ventura and searched to find a quality firm that could do good and thorough work on my van. I first took it in for an "off the menu" installation and to repair a job first done by another radio installer. Both of those jobs were completed quickly and professionally. I have just had another installation completed today, and again, Nate and his crew did not disappoint. They give estimates in advance and keep their word regarding timing and cost. Why go anywhere else? Simply the best! Thanks Nate.

Ford F-150 Interior LED lighting, with floor & cup holder blue accent lighting.
Dan M.

Cheers to the fine folks at Sound Dr 911 in Camarillo. Great customer service. Fair pricing. Excellent communication. Over the course of only an afternoon, misc interior/exterior lighting was repaired around my F150, new speakers in both driver's and passenger's side doors ... And security cameras installed, front & rear facing. Couldn't be happier with the finished product!

Old car with modern tech!
Sherryl I.

Have an older car and need to modernize its audio system? This is the place to help! We wanted to enable our 2001 Excursion to be compatible with Apple CarPlay. Did our research and ultimately chose a Kenwood receiver that we needed someone to install. The owner, David, treated our car like his own. Result was a clean installation done within 1 day. Friendly and high-quality service at a fair price! Loving how our old car is now adapted with today's tech: the wireless convenience of Bluetooth, along with a requisite touchscreen display! Even a useless switch near the dash was replaced with a USB slot. Location is on Ventura Blvd in the industrial park about a mile past the Target shopping center.

Newly installed Pelsee 10 Plus Smart Rear View Mirror Dashcam
Joshua R.

I wanted to express my thanks to Mark and Nate from the Sound Doctor who helped me install a Pelsee rear view smart mirror dash cam. I appreciated their no-pressure approach to fulfilling this project. They examined my Honda Civic, and offered well-informed suggestions about potential equipment they could install that served my needs. The particular model I wanted had driver assist features that I wanted for my car. The equipment brand they had in-house didn't quite have the features I wanted, but Mark expressed that the Sound Doctor would work with whatever equipment I could purchase. They did not try to convince me to buy anything that did not fit my needs. They were efficient in setting up an appointment, offered regular updates about the progress they were making, course corrected in consultation with me about how best to install the rear view camera, and walked me through the final installation. For this project, they finished on the timeline they specified for the one day of my appointment. I could not be happier with the service they provided. The installation looked professionally done and made the equipment so seamlessly integrated with the car's interior that the equipment looks great as an after-market installation. I highly recommend the Sound Doctor to anyone looking to upgrade their vehicle. Thank you, guys!

Head unit sound glitch repair

Do yourself a favor and go to the BEST from the beginning. The sound doctor team is extremely knowledgeable, helpful and professional. No stories they simply get the job done!

Radio

The guys at sound doctors took really great care of me and my Corolla! I love my car and really wanted to update its sound system in a way that matched my style and they helped me pick out the perfect radio in my price range. I had reached out over email and within two days the project was done from start to finish, with install only taking a few hours. Overall, I'm really happy with my experience and thank you so much for your help and knowledge!!

My new system!! So happy!

See all

Instead of confirming with me, they didn't wire in all speakers (door mid bass fill). I went to pick up my car and asked if there was anything left, to which they replied no it should be in the car itself. I supplied all materials, and was in a rush so I trusted everything would be inside. Didn't see the rest of my cables, or any additional fuses/ fuse box holders/ 0 gauge to 4 gauge terminal downsizers so I assumed everything had been installed. I come to find out that they DID indeed have extra boxes and things left over but had been thrown out per their discretion. This was installed on Saturday, and they did not open on Sunday so I had to call back on the next week. ALL my things were thrown out and I had been told there was nothing else. Car sounded horribly unoptimized, regardless of a cookie cutter eq they put of unbalanced bass/mids/highs. Didn't bother to set gains on subwoofer, didn't bother setting proper HPF/LPF settings on 4 channel they were installing, did NOT replace the small 4 GA CCA wire that I had mentioned i want to 0 gauge OFC wire, and still had the attitude to tell me that the reason why they didn't wire in the mid bass speakers on the door was because of "poor output" and that "the subwoofer was going to sound louder so why bother". On top of that, I had to pay an additional $70 for them to wire them in after initial $400 setup fee and an extra $40 for Y- adapters to place on RCA from head unit. Overall, poor communication, will not come in for further work and I suggest you visit elsewhere for your audio needs. I feel robbed of coming to this place.

Absolutely INCREDIBLE 5-STAR service!!!…read more I can not say enough GREAT THINGS about Francisco and his work ethic. My husband and I stopped in on a Tuesday to get help with our stereo system in my 1967 Volkswagen bug. We had some electrical issues and an amplifier that had been installed with a new stereo system over 24 years ago had decided its life was over...and yes there was smoke coming from the backseat!! Well, how can one drive a convertible VW around town without Bob Marley tunes blasting from the stereo?? I just had to get this resolved! Francisco looked at the issue and we all agreed we wanted to install a new amplifier. He said he could have one the next morning - today 6.12.2024 - and as promised we dropped the car off and in one and a half hours (also as promised) we have a new amp! A nice compact Power Acoustik RZR1-2500D. Plus, he replaced fuses in the stereo system, all with much expertise and an amazing low price out the door! And you know what the best part was? Bob Marley sang to me all the way home. I highly recommend G Stereos in their new location (year 2024) at 1119 N. Ventura Ave. (Entrance to workshop is from alley in back). Tell Francisco that I sent you. He will greet you with a huge smile and a whole lot of friendly service!

That's no way to run a company. I know. I've ran a couple in my lifetime. He wouldn't even try to understand what I was trying to explain. Would NEVER refer here. Ever!

You can get ur nails done while waiting for your car stereo to be installed after you let your tint dry.

He said we should stop by Breakers Stereo & Performance and see what they could do. We showed up around 11 am on June 4th and approached the desk of two reps both occupied at the time. Once one was available, I told him that one of my speakers was out and wanted to get them replaced. He asked me the year and make of my car and then we went out to the car to show him the radio console so he could visually assess what they could do. What started out as speaker replacement conversation turned into looking at new Stereo options that would replace my current radio/CD/Cassette player. I decided to go with an upgrade JVC version to replace the JBL radio/CD/Cassette option that gave me a screen with all the bells and whistles including a camera option for parking which I did not have and a USB adapter for my IPhone so I could play all my music playlists. My rep told me it would take 3-4 hours for the new installation of the speakers, Stereo, Camera and adapter plus standard labor. I was beyond impressed how fast it all went. The Car was ready later in the afternoon at 4 pm so I was very pleased. Labor was half the cost of the total cost for the overall stereo speaker upgrades with 1 year warranty. Fortunately for me pulling out the old stereo and fitting in the new stereo/screen was a perfect fit. I am happy and thanked the overall team present for bringing my 2002 car up to 2025 standard of benefits of a new car. My car is not electric but I have no car payment and now I can drive with much more confidence and pleasure listening to the music that makes me happy. The drive back to Oakland was sooo much better listening to my tunes. I would recommend anyone with an older car to go into Breakers and look at the options to replace your stereo and get the camera for parking. Well worth the option. There is plenty of parking onsite and the stereo options are there for you to choose from the JVC to Pioneer. They have a waiting area with flatscreen and coffee if you need to wait. There is also Dominics Italian restaurant next door to get a beer and pizza with full Italian cuisine menu.

The car came in brand new in black, and we had them apply a stainless steel-colored satin wrap, ceramic protection, window tint, and smoked taillights. The transformation is incredible. The satin finish makes all the high-gloss black and red elements pop in a way they didn't before. It's striking. We've already had multiple people stop and comment - including someone at a gas station who said it was going to be his next car. Now the Volvo. It's over seven years old but still in great shape with under 38K miles, and I wasn't ready to part with it. Instead, I refreshed it. The original two-tone white and black is now wrapped in a British racing green-colored wrap, and it has completely changed the car. The existing black and red accents stand out in a whole new way and paired with the rare lava-colored interior carpets, it feels like a brand-new car again. And yes, it's also getting plenty of attention on the road. The craftsmanship at Diamond is top-notch. The technicians clearly take pride in their work, and it shows in the final product. But the standout is Cooper in the front office. He's an excellent communicator and is fully focused on making sure everything is exactly as expected. You can tell he cares deeply about the customer experience. Highly recommend Diamond Auto Salon. We'll definitely be back.
