Needed an Apple Play retrofit for my 2018 Mazda CX-5. Friendly staff, great price, and completed quickly. Highly recommended!

I've been here 3 times since I've been upgrading my car stereo bit by bit. First was the head unit, then they did the front speakers, then they did the subwoofer. The car stereo sounds 1000% better now and I'm very happy with it. read more

Great work at fair prices. Had backup camera and a new head unit installed on 2007 Honda with no issues. Supporting a local, family owned business is a huge plus for us. read more

I needed a rear backup camera installed on my older SUV and hooked up to an existing aftermarket stero. Other big-chain shops quoted me a higher price and had 4-6 week wait times. Stereo Centro was quick to respond to my phone calls, and got me scheduled and installed within two weeks, and was the best price. Service was great, and the backup camera is working terrific. Highly recommend working with them. read more

This was a long overdue review. About 4ish year ago I had new high quality headlights installed in my car. First couple months worked fine. Than they would randomly turn off. Went back to this business and they kinda threw their hands up like they didn't know how to fix. I went to a different business where they said my wiring was done poorly. They had to Jerry rig (lack of better term) my headlights to my fog lights, if I used my headlights I'd never be able to turn off fog lights. I was fine with this and it worked about 3+/- years. The past several months my halos and fog lights only work which isn't easy to drive in. The poorly installed headlights from stereocentro created this problem, now I have to go to a real light installation expert where I'll be charged $800. They know of stereocentro and told me they will not fix whatever issue they caused because so many of stereocentro's former customers have had similar issues with light installation. They will completely rewire the mess stereocentro caused. I am giving stereocentro 2 starts because they did a decent job installing my subs and amp although wiring is messy, poking out of different spots within car read more

I had them install a fancy radio, rear view camera, and a speakers in an 1969 Karmann Ghia. This required some installation and fabrication of a mount for the radio. The job went great. The price was fair and the job was completed exactly as scheduled. read more

I was having issues with a previously installed car alarm and the guy I spoke to was great! He asked me questions to help diagnosis what was wrong and I was able to take it in for him to look at. He ended up not even charging me because it was just a setting thing. Very kind and generous. I'll definitely come back for future service! read more

Changing my review of this place due to my recent experience with the owner. I took my partner's car in to get the sensitivity adjusted, car beep turned off, and the 2-way remote checked because we could never get it to beep. He then confirmed the remote was malfunctioning. Pretty sure this remote was malfunctioning when he sold it to us. It never beeped. The video they recorded the day of the install proved it. I mentioned the alarm adjustments should have been taken care of when we had the alarm installed and that we felt rushed to leave after the original install. That's when he became very moody. He refused to make adjustments to my partner's Viper system because she wasn't present, even though she had given him authorization over the phone. They required us to make an appointment to have this taken care of in 3 weeks. I don't recommend Viper. Unfortunately, it's all Stereo Centro carries. For someone who has been installing Vipers for years, the owner seems to have limited knowledge on how to customize the settings. Maybe he should practice programming these systems more often. read more

They installed a web cam/backup camera system in my 2007 4-Runner and did a superb job.

Fantastic! Highly recommend Stereo Centro I wish I could add more stars, I had a new stereo installed. It's perfect. Thank you. Car Toys has lost a customer!! Thank you, Thank you!!! read more

I needed a front and rear camera installed on my newer Kia EV. Did a great job at a great price!

I had issues with my Pioneer AVIC 8200NEX cutting out on my right front channel when I turned or went over a bump. Luis helped to determine it was a bad crossover, replaced it & resolved my problem. I also had Luis replace/upgrade my existing halogen stock headlights to Hikari Ultra LED. Not only did he complete both jobs in efficient manner he made sure that the beams were aligned correctly. Since he did such a fantastic job I came back & had him install & align LED fogs in my factory slots. I would highly recommend "STEREO CENTRO" to have any install or service, not only do they do professional quality work their price is very competitive if not lower than everyone else. . . I would give them a higher rating if possible. . Definitely 5 STAR RATING. . read more

I'm come here for all my boat audio and auto lighting needs. Luis is an expert that provides an excellent service for an affordable price. I highly recommend if you need HIDs and audio needs. read more

Called to ask if they could install a MyLink integrated backup camera (there are many kits available for this, you just need a qualified installer), I figured since they didn't seem to know anything about that they likely aren't qualified to do the work. However, I give them 3 stars for not beating around the bush, they told me right away they haven't ever done that before. read more

It's a small but very busy shop. I had to book the appt a few weeks in advance. That was the only downside. The work was completed on time with no issues. read more

AMAZING! Highly recommend this business to anyone looking for aftermarket car/truck wiring and accessories. They wired up new LED lights and off-road lights on my old truck. Prices where great and service was awesome. Rocky the shop dog was friendly too! Will definitely be coming back when I am ready for a new stereo! read more

I have a mazda mx-5 and come there to install an after market stereo on my car. Louis, the owner got amazing skills and did really nice job. I'm definitely satisfied with it. -Best car stereo shop in the town! -Good quality! Good customer service! -I recommend this shop to all! read more

See all

Louis does outstanding work. I have brought my cars to him for years. I just had him install a remote start on my 08 GrandCaravan a month ago and now I had him install my stereo, sub and amp into my 04 Honda CRV. As ways he comes thru with good customer service and professionalism. I will be bringing my new car back to have a remote/start alarm. Repeat business with Car Centro Stereo. read more

Needed diagnostics on a potential short on our boat. All shops were 2-3 weeks out. Luis scheduled at the end of the day and was extremely proficient with troubleshooting. Located issue and fixed, installed updated stereo deck and USB port all in a timely manner. Great customer service, 100% positive experience. Prefer supporting local family business any time. read more

I would never buy anything from this shop again!!! Very low budget operation. I had them put Led headlights in my car took them 4 times to get it right. During that service they convinced me since I was doing the headlights I should do the license plate lights as well.. I had problems with the plate lights ever since.. I went back once for the flickering they replaced but they charged me again, than recently the flickering started again I went back for there help they told me the lights are only good and under warranty for 6 months tops. Now mind you they took my stock lights for the plate light and never gave those back.. I told them I would be reporting them to the BBB they said go ahead we don't care then I asked for my stock lights back and they told me we don't wanna do anything for you.. Bottom line you want bad service and to be pushed around on a warranty go there you wanna be treated right do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. read more

I'm writing this review a week later from my Alarm installation. I really wanted to write a good review due to all of the great reviews here but I am truly disappointed and a bit angry.. I don't even write reviews but for this I really had to. Originally I was suppose to have a Viper Alarm installation with the auto remote start($495) but after I came back to pick up my car, I ended up having an Avital Alarm without Auto start($465). They told me that the Viper Alarm is on back order so they installed the Avital Alarm without letting me know. The owners wife gave me $20 off.. I didn't have time to be mad because I had an appointment with my Police friend so I literally had to get the keys, pay and leave. I waited for 5 hours when he quoted me 4. Don't get me wrong, the couple are very nice but this is not how to run a business.. I wanted the Viper Alarm because I wanted the Auto start and the alarm.. If they had let me know that that they didn't have the Viper in stock, I wouldn't even have installed the Avital without auto start. I'm just honestly very disappointed and probably will not come back for subs and speakers. I just hope that next time they would let the customer know if they don't have a certain product instead of just installing it and telling them when they pick up the car. read more

The owner was very kind and helpful, they did a great job installing a new backup camera for my work truck. It works just how it should with no problems at all and I highly recommend their services! read more

I would give them less than a star. Stopped by a couples weeks ago and got a quote for a 12 subwoofer with install. The guy was super nice but the woman sitting at the counter was super rude, I just ignored her and told him I would come back to schedule. Went in today to setup a appointment and the woman at the front is the worst ever, no customer service skills and rude. The soonest she could get me in was in about 3 weeks. I can do better elsewhere. Maybe if the woman wasn't so rude I would consider waiting. I would rather go where customer service is acceptable. read more

- Ask for Luis, he fixed my white noise issue in my car - Good/reasonable price - He is the owner and only technician there so he has to stop work when people come in and ask him questions read more

Wow! Look no further for your car audio or alarm needs! They were able to diagnose and fix a problem with my old Scions xB car alarm that even the dealer couldn't figure out! I stopped by without an appointment and they were able to fit me in. And in less then an hour they had come up with a brilliant fix for my alarm problem... and the price was incredibly reasonable! On top of that, they are very nice people! It's nice to see a small business like this doing so well. They were quick, courteous, resourceful, and knew their stuff. I also noticed that they sold car audio systems, car alarms, high intensity headlights, speakers, and stereos with and without navigation screens, if you're looking for that kind of thing. I highly recommend them! read more

Very satisfied with my first visit to Stereo Centro. Based on mostly positive reviews, and because my former go-to car audio shop in the North End wouldn't install the stereo and speakers I bought there (at the old place) because "the installers are watching the game," I ventured to Renton. Stereo Centro is a small, owner-operated shop. Luis installed the equipment I provided, and he charged a fair price, less expensive than many competitors. Good workmanship and helpful tech assistance. I will return for future car audio needs. Unlike the bigger shops, Stereo Centro discouraged me from making an appointment; instead I brought in my car and chilled in the park while I waited for the work to be done. My preference is to make an appointment or at least get a 2-hour window of service, but I'll willingly put up with the quirks of a smaller business in order for Luis to work on my car. read more

They dont even deserve 1 star . They told me they didnt have time not even to set up a appointment pretty much pushed me out the door . Will never go back ! So rude ! read more

Great shop, good people! I purchased a set of HIDs from them. One of the bulbs burnt out, they happily replaced the bulb without question. This shop will continue to have my business. Stellar customer service goes a long way. read more

This is one of the best places that have great customer service and the work is done at its highest level. To be a family owned business I can say honestly they care for the customer with the upmost respect. I've been going here for about 5 years now and done a lot to different cars that I have bought. And in those times I've been here I feel very comfortable knowing someone is doing their best job. Also in the time I've been here I have seen my share of rude and selfish customers. Some that don't understand that these ppl are running a business. And that time is money. To be taken care of the right way you got to make sure you do the same to them. So don't assume your a loyal a customer just by buying little things here and there. read more

I am writing this update as of 4/11/18 I have been going to Luis for about a year now. Any issues I've had with my Viper system I took them to him. About a month ago I encountered an issue with my Viper remote start. Luis was eager to diagnose and fix my problem. He pulled my car into his shop and twenty minutes later my remote start was working again. "Blown fuse" he said. He charged me $40 and I left a happy customer. A month later the fuse blew again. I thought I'd look for the problem myself. Sure enough a blown fuse. The reason I have put one star is the fuse was a regular 20 Amp blade fuse that costs maybe a dollar. Luis charged me 40 dollars for a blade fuse. I have referred family and friends to Luis and planned to bring much more business to him in the near future. I was ridiculously overcharged. I've had ZERO problems with Luis in the past but this is dishonest and I will not be bringing my business here again. YOU HAVE LOST A LOYAL CUSTOMER. read more

I was a mess!... after trying at car toys and a near by audio installation place I tried doing it myself! After that failed I gave up and went into this place and asked for help, I was charged a very small fee and did an amazing job after I made a disaster. I was so pleased at how nice and helpful they where I'm taking in another vehicle to have him to it all instead. As a female I completely feel like I am looked at being an easy target to take advantage of. Not the issue here This place was great. Trustworthy, fast, cheap , most of all outstanding service. read more

Great price, excellent work, good people. 100 % recommend this place for any car stereo installation. I got my new bluetooth deck installed here. I called around and look for prices and everybody was over $100 and that is not acceptable. Stereo centro had the best price and the quickest installation. Everything works great and I still got some money in my pocket. read more

I needed an alarm system and I seen this place pop up and I read most of the reviews so I stopped by to get an estimate and they gave me the best reasonable price for a 2 way viper alarm system and as they were installing it the wife came over and said we will throw in a hood pop sensor for free and I was blown away so please stop by here anytime you need anything electrical done. They also have wide variety of stuff so dont bring your own but if you do they will install it either way win win situation. read more

Installed my stereo at the quoted fair price, everything looks good and he was nice. I will go back for future stereo needs.

This was my second visit to Stereo Centro. I brought Luis a set of parking sensors I purchased online. He installed them exactly the way I wanted them at a remarkably affordable price. The display was mounted so professionally it looks like it came with the truck. Luis is highly skilled. He comes highly recommended. You will not be disappointed. I will be back!!! read more

I return to this place to changed my car front lights cause I was attended in the past with a good costumer service. I come back all the way from Kirkland because of the affordable price a got in the past and also because I'm loyal to places were they treated me good. But this time I encounter a very bad costumer service with Laura a list that's the name she gave me. She is an Spanish speaker and I feel good since it is may first language too. But her service was very agresive. I come to do lights changed which I believe it's a very fast and short service, last time they did it with not problem and fit me into the schedule with a great actitud. But this girl gave me an appointment for two weeks. I ask if I could wait for any open space since it is short service, and she said "if it is that easy why don't you do it yourself?" This is not how you responde to a client. Simple if I went to them if because I don't know how to do it. She come to my car and took a picture of my plate saying that she got offended by me asking for her name. To you Laura : I ask for it just to make a review of your bad costumer service. Be loyal to the person giving you a job. With your actitud you can lose clients some loyal clients that drive all the way from Kirkland to your place. Respect your job and your boss who's working hard to keep business open. Win win is what a business looks for and with employees like you broke the rule. read more

Just called into this shop as I needed help. It was a 2 minute job of poping off the facia and connecting my heater again. I had driven up from Portland and it was becoming dangerous to drive getting all fogged up. Obviously they didn't care enough to help me out with 2 minutes of their time as they were too busy!!!! Safety and customer service sucks here. read more

Found this place on Yelp since my husband was looking to have a stereo installed in his Honda Accord. Called in for a quote and was pretty reasonable. We went in for the installation did not have to wait for them to get started and finished up in about half hour. Everyone was nice and friendly. Will be back for any future needs. read more

I'm so happy to have found Stereo Centro. Luis has helped me with uninstall/install stereo from two different cars and best of all got that horrible seat belt alarm disarmed for me twice. I tried to do it myself, but was frustrated and Luis made it work. Luis and his family are so nice. Hopefully, I won't have problems frequently, but I will send my business and recommend others to Stereo Centro. read more

I went in to get a quote for new lights for my Honda Odyssey. Laura & Louis showed me the difference in the headlights. They installed my new headlights in less than an hour. The headlights are working great! They are so much brighter than the ones that my minivan came with! I now feel safer driving at night & in the rain. This is a great family owned business who also volunteers at the local elementary school. I would recommend their business to anyone! #shoplocal, #familyownedbusiness, #dtr, #community read more
