I have used Unique Audio Radio to flawlessly install numerous radios, backup cameras and other car and truck accessories. Typically, it's hard to assess a company until you see how they handle a challenging situation. One of my radios had a operating system software issue and while Unique Audio could have washed their hands with the situation, they did not. Instead, they advocated for me with the radio manufacturer until the situation was resolved to my satisfaction. They were always honest, thorough and kept me informed. Thank you for a job well done.

Unique installed a new Kenwood Excelon head unit in my C6 LS3 Corvette recently. I am very well pleased with the work that was done (by "Lo", who also took the time to answer my many questions) as well as with the professionalism and attitude displayed by all Unique Audio associates with whom I spoke (including Pat, Hector and Gio). I will add that I myself have installed head units in my Corvettes in the past, and compared to the cost of buying the components from Crutchfield and installing them myself in this particular car, Unique was a BARGAIN. Five Stars...I highly recommend this shop and will be using them again. read more

Great example of true professionals. The Unique Audio team put deck in my car and gave me a rundown how to use my radio before they sent me off. They did a very clean job and it looks and sounds well done. Thanks guys! read more

I took my vehicle to Unique Audio two different times in order to have the work done. Watch out for your personal items left in your vehicle and attached to your vehicle as well as when your vehicle will be ready!!!! The first time Unique Audio kept a valuable tool from my vehicle that was not theirs as well as a custom hubcap from my spare tire. I noticed the tool missing a couple days later in which I had to contact Unique Audio to let them know - amazingly Unique Audio acknowledged they had it and kept it. I noticed the hubcap missing at a later date (Unique Audio never told me they had the hubcap in their possession even with several follow up calls with them). Not knowing they had my hubcap I had to reorder another hubcap as well as take the part to a body shop and have it custom painted to match the others. During this time I picked up my vehicle the second time (Which was several days late from the time they said it would take to complete the work; as well as their notification that it was ready was a text - no phone call). When I picked up the vehicle and went home I noticed that the original hubcap was back on the spare tire with no explanation from Unique Audio. Now I have an extra hub cap along with additional costs and time it took to replace the missing one. I have contacted Unique Audio several times to discuss the matter but they have not taken any time to contact me back to address this issue. There are many audio shops out there that I am sure so not keep your personal items, that will meet deadlines and are courteous in returning calls. I would do your diligence so you do not have to experience what happened here with Unique Audio . read more

This place is extremely professional and good at what they do. I was highly impressed by the interior of the shop when I walked in. It has an upscale feel to it with a race car touch. The techs are extremely friendly and gave me an upfront price for everything I asked about. Pat, the front desk guy, knew everything I asked about. I went in to ask questions and ended up buying a Viper car alarm for my wife's SUV. And they got it done the same day. I highly recommend you find this shop and use them. They service a lot of military clients and they work with everybody. I'll be back for my window tint. read more

Loved the service I got. Like many I brought in all the parts for my new stereo and had them install it for me. I called around and felt the quote was fair here. ($79 for simple install, no steering wheel controls or anything crazy) They even set the clock and helped me pair my phone :D While we were waiting my kids watched Nick on the TV, drank water from the cooler and used a bathroom that exceeded my expectations for an establishment like this one. read more

​I was in the market for a new radio and had heard about Unique Audio. I wanted to see for myself what the fuss was all about and was greeted by the cheerful Pat. He explained the entire installation process and the parts needed. I liked that he showed me models in different price ranges, asked for my preferences and provided his professional opinion to manage my expectations. Pat did not attempt to try to upsell me on anything that I did not need. His candid honesty, quality selection of products and installation will definitely have me returning in the future for any audio needs. read more

Unique Audio has captured the custom car market. They provide a great service with exceptional process. They work on providing you the best service for your budget. Pat aims to build relationship with you the client. He is not in it for a quick buck. I have gotten a dad player installed for my 2014 Sienna Van in addition to window tinting and fog lights. I'm happy to say every service he has provided is backed by a lifetime warranty. I was so happy with his service that I got my window tinting done on another car. Several of my coworkers have suggested I go to Unique for my car services. I am glad I found a business I can trust and confidently tell friends and family about their service! read more

Unique Audio - chameleon DVD player installed! Works like a charm for my 2014 Sienna - Car Stereo Installation Near Me - Lorton, Virginia

I had a great experience with the installation of an upgraded stereo system. They installed multiple amps, a processor, custom speakers and housing in a new jeep gladiator. They've been very professional since day 1 on sales, installation, service and adjustments. they installed equipment using custom plates and mounting everything in factory holes. The entire shop is very knowledgeable and courteous. read more

I wanted a new head unit for my Jeep Wrangler but don't have time to visit many stores. Unique Audio was great because instead of pushing that I come in and visit like other shops. They were more than willing to help me via email and when I finally came in to have them look at my set up and finalize the plans, everything was quick and in order. I waited at the shop while work was done. They had a little table and chairs with TV and cable. It worked out great because during the install they came out and asked about some presence questions in regard to the Pioneer unit. They added a glove box USB and clean installed a new mic for the unit out of sight. After they made sure I knew how to use it and if I had any questions. Extremely helpful staff. Radio has worked great since then. Installation exceeded expectations. They worked with me and answered my questions and weren't pushy about coming in to get those questions answered. There's a reason so many people rate them well and I'm glad I chose them to do the work. read more

UNIQUE AUDIO One of my favorite shops in on northern VA ,they are knowledgeable and consistent, they have help me in many ways ,all the employees are awesome and they love what they do TRULY RECOMMEND THIS SHOP read more

I have had three sub installs in three separate vehicles and window tinting performed by Pat and crew. All work was professionally done. Highly recommended! Planning to see Pat again for another sub and sound deadening installation for the summer. read more

Lorgio runs a tight shop. They were responsive to my calls and when I came in, Hector and Pat not only helped me install after-market fogs for my car but did so with great service. They said that I might need a relay but turned out it was not needed. Appreciate that they were honest and kept to the original cost. They also indicated that my battery was low/old and needed to be replaced. Had it tested today and had it replaced. Appreciate the all around quality service. Will definitely come back in the future for all my future car audio and car customization needs. Highly recommend. read more

We had two decals created for Our Rodan + Fields Skincare business and needed them installed immediately. I contacted Unique Audio due to their Yelp ratings and they assisted me by getting me in within minuted of em calling to have at least one of the decals installed. I was shocked! Within 30 mins, my vehicle was ready to hit the road with our brand ready to be promoted to the public! I contacted their staff again a couple days later to have my wife's decal installed and they got us in and out seamlessly within minutes plus the decal install on both vehicles were impeccable! Thank you Unique Audio Staff for the awesome customer service and finish product! I will be referring others your way! Pic of decal included within the photos. read more

Unique Audio - Car Stereo Installation Near Me - Lorton, Virginia

They do excellent work, I've had 2 radios put in two different cars there, and even after one was done as a total hack job by Pro Audio down the road they managed to fix it and get it working. I've also had two cars tinted there, and it was good work at a great price. The tint has held up pretty well. The only reason it's four stars instead of five is that they do not answer their phone or have an answering machine... usually have to call 2-3 times before they even pick up. Other than that, a great business with good prices, friendly staff, and great work quality. read more

This week I picked up my genesis coupe from Unique Audio, they were doing a whole bunch of stuff to it. I had a new HID light bar installed, fog lights, sound system and they also fixed and painted my bumper. I'm extremely happy with the attention to detail. They did not release my vehicle until they were satisfied with all the components were working properly. Lorgio and his team really know what they are doing. And I wouldn't trust anyone else working on my vehicles when it comes to electronics and sound systems. I'm a very happy customer and I highly recommended Unique Audio. Thank you guys and keep up the great work!!! Roney S. read more

UPDATE: dropped by to have a fuse replaced and was greeted by "Lo," who immediately stopped what he was doing to investigate and subsequently replace the fuse. Note: I have not visited the shop since having the initial work completed on 2/21/2014. I did not realize they moved to the current Newington location. Just illustrates what a masterful job "Lo" and "unique audio" did with the initial installation and my truck is still booming! To top it off: "Lo" replaced the fuse and refused payment! I stand by my initial 2014 comments, these guys are awesome and will always get my business! read more

Really great shop, I've had them work on 3 cars from installing remote start, full audio systems and recently window tint and drone mobile remote start. I've been back at least once a year for them to do something to one of my cars. This year my drone mobile receiver was defective and they handled the warranty and replacement for me. Everyone that works there seems to really be knowledgeable and you can tell they are masters of their craft. They gave me a tour of the shop floor first time I visited and it was super clean and well organized I had no doubts leaving my car them with them. I shopped around back in 2016 and there were cheaper places but it's worth every penny for the peace of mind knowing when you want a high quality shop who is doing the work , Highly recommend! read more

Great job by Pat and the team at Unique Audio. They are friendly and very knowledgeable. Had windows tinted and USB port installed for a bluetooth receiver on my Acura MDX. Definitely recommend. read more

This shop was awesome. I made the mistake of buying something online and thinking I could install it myself. Not only did the product come used when the seller said it was new, I had no instruction manual on installation. I took it to Unique Audio and they were super nice and installed my stereo for me at a discount for being in the military. They didnt even sell the brand but the shop owner could tell me how to use it like a pro! Def would recommend for anyone...Im going back soon for tint read more

I've had the pleasure of having Los, Pat and Hector work on two separate vehicles for me! The work they performed on my stereo in my SUV was way beyond my expectations! Great people, wonderful atmosphere and amazing talent these gentlemen possess when dealing with car audio! Always professional! 5 stars is an understatement for the work Unique Audio performs! A definite recommendation! read more

While their not the cheapest they are honest and straightforward good customer service if I was to stay in the area and not moving out within the next month I would have definitely gone to them for their services read more

If i could give them zero i would as they tried to scam me and steal from me so beware...This shop made me a 2018 WRX subwoofer box for me. They quoted me 3 days and it took 5 days. I asked them to tune my audio system because i have a DSP and said it would be 175 dollar fee. After taking two extra days, i get there and im about to pay and i check the dsp and nothing was tuned. They still tried to charge me the 175 dollar tune fee...they ended up waving it but the managers tone was we tuned it but we will wave it for you because it took longer than expected. BS. The only thing i see was changed was on my headunit and your charging me 175 for that?! And now the box is out of the car, the amplifiers was not tuned either, which improper tuning can lead you to blow your speakers. On top of that, i asked to keep the box the jl subwoofer in and they threw it away. Any shop knows that subwoofer box your sub comes in for jl is needed to ship your subwoofer to jl in the event you need it rebuilt. Or your pay 50 extra dollars for a new box. Do not get work done here. Very Dishonest business. read more

I got an amp installed here. I actually purchased the amp from Crutchfield and they were happy to help me out. It didn't take long to get in and I haven't had any problems. I would suggest this place for you car audio needs. read more

My brand new car had a bad experience with Unique Audio on a remote start installation. I give them 5 star rating because of their sincerity. They accepted their mistake and took care of everything. So it turned out to be a great experience for me. I definitely trust Unique Audio to work on anything in my car. read more

Hats off and kudos to Pat and the team at Unique Audio! I received 1st class service and treatment at this shop. From Pat up front to all the guys working on the installs, everyone was patient with me and very friendly. The best part is they know what they are doing! They did what was expected with a full stereo upgrade and even fixed a part on my car that the dealer wanted an arm and a leg for, without me asking. Excellent service and excellent work! They exceeded my expectations! I highly recommend! Bentley read more

Went in to get a new stereo put in my truck after it was broken into and stolen. Would have been a quick easy sale for them. After 12 minutes standing and waiting...guy at register even saw me. He was working one customer. There was no hello, no be right with you. Very uncomfortable and very rude place. As you know I am about customer service. If your busy working with someone...at least acknowledge them, tell them you will get with them and have a seat or something. read more

Waited a bit to get someone to help me for my appointment. After which the staff was very friendly and did a good job on my stereo install. Prices were fair, I would go back again. read more

Followed my fellow yelpers and they did not let me down. Elias was able to squeeze me in the same day I called. They had all the parts in stock and to top it off they installed everything in an hour. Hats off to Elias and the installers. First rate installation, finish and installation were nice and clean, Elias took all the time I needed to understand the radio and was sent off as an extremely happy customer. read more

I was very impressed with how accommodating they were, how quickly the work was done, and how professional they were. Lo' squeezed me in on a sunday to have my car stereo & speakers replaced. I will definitely be back for any other needed work. read more

There is a reason Unique Audio earns the 5-stars. Yelp! called it right- and my decision to seek their services was reinforced and confirmed when a manager of a prestigious East Coast high performance auto shop gave them his highest recommendation. The reviews here are not exaggerations. Unique Audio successfully combines exceptional customer service, front office management, quality service, and genuine pride of work. Aftermarket auto audio upgrades are risky business, not only because of the potential technical complexities, but also customer expectations. The Manager does an excellent job of providing technical advice and managing customer expectations through the installation process and desired end result. There are no surprises, no hidden fees, no drama, and no sales pitch. The Manager goes out of his way to be helpful and accommodate the customer. In my case, they installed a double-din monitor (Kenwood DDX470) in my wife's 2005 Volvo XC-90. No easy feat as Volvo purposely designed their audio system to protect their archaic, troublesome, and extremely expensive non-standard audio system. The work was completed earlier than anticipated; the installer conducted a familiarization brief of the both the product and his work, as was obviously proud of his efforts. The results: We are extremely pleased with the fit and finish and the actual product. We also believe we made the right decision as replacing the "non-intuitive" Volvo Audio system would have been near double the price. Bottom line: Unique Audio, like Apple makes the purchase process a positive memorable experience, supported by quality work, excellent customer service, and service support. read more

I brought my car here to have a radio removed. They quoted me a very low price to do the removal and completed the job in 1 hour. Highly recommended read more

Unique Audio installed a new sub, amp, and speakers on my boat. The poor guys were outside working in 90+ degree heat, and still took their time and did a great job. I found them by chance while driving in Lorton, and am so happy that I did. They do quality work, and are very friendly. I would recommend them to anyone looking for quality work, fair prices, and friendly service. Jason read more

-Went in to get power door locks installed for my 2010 civic -Professional and courteous during the whole process and even the follow ups -slightly more expensive than their competitors but definitely worth it for the amount of care they put in to their work and the peace of mind, knowing you're putting your car in excellent hands. -If I could give them 10 stars I would!!! read more

I have had nothing but great experiences with Unique Audio. As far as I am concerned, they are they best in the business as far as not only car audio installation, but modifications as well. They re-routed my wife's Benz Ipod cable from the glove compartment to the arm rest storage area with ease. I never understood why Benz put that cable in the glove compartment in the first place because the driver cannot access the Ipod/Iphone! Nevertheless, it's accessible now. On top of that, the 3 other installers I checked with before coming here told me it cannot be done. They also installed a powered amp in my 2002 BMW, which enhanced the sound infinitely. I will never go anywhere else, for modifications/installs on my pricey German automobiles. read more

I have installed a backup camera and audio system with them. The backup camera stopped working in a few weeks(I got it from Amazon).They installed a $100 camera and now it is working so far no issues. Good and cheaper alternative. read more

I have an '07 4Runner and I am a SiriusXM subscriber. The last several years I have been using a external XM radio and dealing with the antenna/power wires. Ugly and pain in the butt. Once the power cord broke, I started to look in to replacing my dashboard radio. After a couple months of researching, and procrastinating, I finally stopped by Unique Audio while running errands on the rainy Saturday. Planned to get an estimate and possibly make an appt. The hassle of leaving my car and have somebody drive me back to get my car was the main reason I was procrastinating. Also a pain in the butt. After explaining what basic radio w/ XM I wanted and a quick look at my current dashboard, I had 2 radios to chose from, he had all the parts in shop and was able to install that day. He said it would take about two hours. 1 hour and 10 minutes later, I was back in my car with a technician showing me how the radio works, helped me sync my iPhone and explained what I need to do to connect with SiriusXM ( which was super easy to do online but was charged $15(!).... Really SiriusXM?). It was a great experience and would recommend Unique Audio. read more

Honest work. Ever have issues they address them immediately. I had the pleasure of them installing audio system, power locks, automatic start/alarm and tint on my truck. Did a great job!! I got to meet Lo when he first started the business and I am thrilled to see how well he is doing! read more
