My infotainment system broke down and I was looking for a replacement and I consulted two different businesses. Ryan was quite patient with me as he allowed me to test out the 3 different infotainment systems. After trying them all out, I choose one and was quoted at $923.74 and had to wait a week to get it installed since this is a popular place. The other place I consulted didn't even let me choose what infotainment system I wanted and quoted me at $100 higher than this place. They were able to install it in about 2 hours. The only real issue I've seen with it is that it has more glares than the original system that was in there. read more

The technician created a basic workaround to get my DS18 BTC-Five Bluetooth receiver working via aux, but the setup was incomplete and poorly wired. After the install: I lost power to my 12V lighter socket, so I couldn't charge my phone. He mostly likely tapped into the same circuit as the lighter socket, causing power loss (Yeah. He didn't warn me about that before the install!) The audio was also making intermittent Bluetooth pairing failures. I would be driving and then music would stop and start again. Bluetooth phone calls stopped working--only music streamed. The install skipped key components I provided, including the fuse tap, LOC, and amp integration What I learned--and what others should know: The 3.5mm aux jack on the BTC-Five is audio-only and doesn't support calls To restore full functionality, the fuse tap must be moved to a different ACC slot so the lighter circuit isn't interrupted. For Bluetooth calls, you need to use the BTC-Five's RCA outputs and route them through a head unit or amp that supports hands-free calling. If I had known all this upfront, I probably would've skipped the install entirely and just kept using my regular USB-C to 3.5mm Audio Aux Cable Adapter. It was simpler, reliable, and didn't disable anything in my car. No wonder the guy had a weird vibe! I would have given them 5 stars if they had wired correctly, but the job was rushed and sloppy. He didn't create a solution. He created a problem! Now I'm going to have to get my brother to help me fix this. He said the tech most likely installed the tap with only one fuse (for the BTC-Five). Or inserted it backwards, cutting off power to the original circuit. Or used a single-slot tap, which reroutes power entirely to the new device. This experience taught me how to reclaim my install and turn shortcuts into teachable upgrades. If you're integrating amps or planning full audio control, skip the aux hack and wire it properly. I wasn't impressed with this install. What a total waste of money!!!!!! read more

We searched high, low and country wide for a radio for my car after being pushed aside from the Hyundai dealership, as well as Blue Link. My husband & I visited Sun Valley Stereo and were very impressed with the owner, Ryan Dewitt's, courteous and professional assistance. He gave us a couple of options to replace our inoperable Blue Link radio system. The prices were WAY much cheaper than the $2k offered from the Hyundai dealership. Within two weeks, I was back in heaven with my favorite tunes. :) They were professional, courteous and efficient. This should be your go-to place for audio equipment. M&F Wallace read more

They could've cut corners but didn't. John , the installer, deserve a shout out. - he is a pro Excellent example of a small business doing it right. read more

So don't know this place at all, I will say Ryan knows what he is doing..he added a knob for me to control the sub...no other place would have wasted that time...so he's been here what...35 years I guess? But executed 2 plans according to what I stated I wanted. And went with the upgrade...not that much money ...and not too much time...and I see he deserves the 5 stars.. read more

I had an Apple CarPlay and new sound system put in my car and it worked seamlessly for a year. Then it went down for some unknown reason. After at least a year, I took it back to Ryan, and it was fixed free of charge in a couple of hours...that's the way they have done business for a very long time. Thanks Ryan and Team read more

This spot has the best customer service and most reasonable prices!! Highly recommend this spot!!

Sun Valley Stereo - my dust but a great install! - Electronics Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

After looking at a lot of stereo shops, I found Ryan and Sun Valley Stereo. No other shops had reviews like this place. Had Android Auto / Carplay installed. The price was fair and they did an amazing job. This place stays busy as all heck. Now I know why. They are the real deal. I highly recommend Sun Valley Stereo. They can be a little rough and short when on the phone which was a little weird, but hang in there. Maybe that is due to how busy they are. read more

These guys never fail. Fairly priced services, great selection of car audio equipment, and no bullshit estimates/services/work. These guys are the real deal. GOTTA go here for all car audio/electronics needs. They replaced my entire car stereo for a great price and even hooked it up with a few small things (microphone for phone calls in the car and fixed a USB port in my center console) just because. THE place to go for car audio/electronics needs! read more

I had a new system installed in my daughters 07 Camry for her birthday. Visited a bunch of places and finally landed on SVA. Great service. I was helped by one of the owners and they've and they've been here almost 50 years (can't remember exact number) Their prices were competitive as well as best install price (and lifetime warranty on their work). My daughter loved the upgrade. Touchscreen, car play, etc. it looks like it was made for the car. Also got the backup camera. Thanks SVA!!! Definite recommend for any car audio needs! read more

Very professional, knowledgeable,and close by. In which I may use this service in the future. Reasonable rates, good products, very professional! read more

I brought my Prius to do some electrical work and run it to the battery. They did a great job and ran the wiring very cleanly. These guys are very professional. They also installed for me my roof rack. read more

Have had most of our car stereos (8-9 over the years) worked on here. A hidden gem. Low profile. No frills, big skills and very competitive pricing. Likely due to low overhead and no advertising (except word of mouth). They tend to over deliver. Rare these days. Strong follow up after all installs. Any glitches or bugs were resolved quickly and professionally. read more

This is a great shop. The last time I went there was almost 20 years ago. I went back and had the stereo replaced in my Chevy Silverado for a modern Alpine and added a back up camera. It looks and works great! It looks like it was installed at the factory. I drove in from out of town to have the work done and was lucky enough that they had a cancellation and got it done for me in half a day. I would highly recommend them!! read more

If you are looking for the very best in car stereo, you can end your search. Sun Valley Stereo stands above all others in the Phoenix area. Due to my OCD issues, I am suspect of anyone doing work on my car. I saw the 5 star reviews so I decided to stop by for a discussion. I met with Ryan. Ryan's confidence and knowledge helped calm my fears after the first visit. He listened to what I was searching for, he did some research, and called me back two days later. I could tell he actually did homework. His recommendation sounded solid and the reviews on the equipment he suggested checked out. Once again, he assured me his team would make the installation look as if it was an OEM install. With no money down, I dropped the car off on a Monday. It was ready by Friday. At first, I was blown away at the quality. After a few tweaks to the settings (12 band equalizer) I am thrilled with joy!!! I can't thank Ryan (and his team) enough for getting this right! The installation makes Mercedes-Benz look like amateurs. I am loving my new ride and will be cruising around town with the perfect sound system. Well done Sun Valley Stereo! read more

This was one of the best services experiences ever. Got a quote when i walked in, set up appointment, came for appointment, finished extremely fast (they know their stuff). Paid (less than the original quote, I might add) and left with a brand-new stereo working like a hot damn. This is why they have been in business so long-great people doing great work and not trying to rip anyone off. Stellar business! Look no further for car alarms, stereos or speakers installed. read more

Don't even bother looking for another stereo shop in the valley. This place is the best. Perfect work, perfect customer service and fast and complete. That is why it's three weeks for an appointment.

Service is good, repairs prices reasonable. Very high mark up in their equipment. I would recommend them.

Had my installation done today and am SUPER happy with the entire experience. Super quality workmanship and super awesome price. Went in person to see the selection and discuss the options and the sales person was super efficient and knowledgeable. Booked an appointment for my equipment installation and from beginning to end, was a seamless experience. They have great reviews, which is why I originally stopped in, and the customer service along with price is what sealed the deal for me. Use Sun Valley, you can't go wrong. read more

My amplifier was stolen and I bought a new one, I took to Sun Valley. I met Ryan DeWitt, not an open and friendly guy. He gave me an estimate for re-wiring my system that had been pieced together by different people, but worked before incompetent people worked on it. He gave me an estimate I thought was high but made the appt thinking he was going to rewire my system "from speakers to radio", including from the battery, even tho that part worked well. Over time I have had many competition stereos in several vehicles and some of what he told me when I went to drop it off sounded suspicious, like the cable from the battery needed replacing even though it didn't and worked well over time. He said from speakers didn't mean literally from the speakers but from the end of the speaker wires. The more they explained what they were actually going to do seemed like most of it didn't need to be done regardless of them telling me it did. I stopped the install and took my car home and installed the 4 channel amp myself in about 20 mins with the wires that were already there. I feel like I stopped the steal. When I wanted to go over the job again with the new details he told his people to get out of my car and me to get out. I don't think he is honest, he sold me work that wasn't needed at prices that seemed really high based on my history with other installs. read more

A third time around with Sun Valley stereo. Came in to have the system re done in my Tesla Model 3. Not only did they pick out amazing components for my car. The install is super clean, It looks factory done. A huge reason why I come to Sun Valley. We had an under-glow install scheduled for the same time but unfortunately the team ran out of time. The team is always hard at work on people's projects and sometimes you have to wait a few weeks to get on the books. But this shop is the best in Phoenix and well worth the wait to get in. I know we will finish this project soon! read more

My fourth visit over 10 years to have Ryan take care of my car audio. They removed a 25 yr old Porsche system and installed a complete new Apple CarPlay system. It looks and sounds fantastic. A problem with old Euro cars is making it look right when you replace a cassette, cd, am fm radio with latest tech. You would think this system was born in this car. Like the car, it's perfect. And incredibly reasonable . read more

Wow, what a great experience. Very professional, friendly, and delivered more than what was promised. I was so impressed I'm even taking my beater truck there to have a stereo upgrade done! read more

Sun Valley Stereo - Dogde Challenger custom sub and amp without losing my cargo room. That's craftsmanship! - Electronics Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Customer service and quality of work were outstanding. I would definitely recommend them.

These guys were awesome. I took my old 2005 truck there, complaining about noise distortion in my front speakers. I mentioned I thought it could be a vibration issue. Meanwhile, I picked out a new deck to bring my truck into the present with Android Auto. We picked out new speakers in case there was an issue. When they called only a few hours later, much to my happiness they said I was right and were able to reinstall my existing speakers with some extra dynamat. When I picked up the car, the speakers sounded awesome like they used to. My original sound system is on the higher end. The deck works great and big plus they didn't try to up sell me on new speakers. I really respect this and the system now works great. I would definitely recommend these guys! read more

These guys are amazing!!! I was so pleasantly impressed with the level of professionalism and in depth consultation I received on my project. In my effort to modernize a 2004 Chevy Silverado they made the perfect recommendations on what I needed and knew exactly how to make it all work together. I expected to wait hours for the install to be complete but they got me out of the shop within a fraction of the time they thought it would take. Truly over delivered! Thank you thank you, thank you!!! read more
