    12" kicker subs

    Ryan and his staff are very professional, very straight to the facts ( no bs'ing around), their service and value matches their quality of work, I was recommend to him by a friend. First I got a front dash cam and rear cam installed then he sold me on 2 12" subs, amp, box. Couldn't be happier with the service and installation, thanks again Ryan! -Tim

    I recently bought a 2008 Porsche 911 turbo, which had an aftermarket head unit. There were a few issues, and I wanted to install a GPS. In short, here were my asks. * Whining noise - Fix a really annoying whining noise that matched the engine RPMs. * Steering wheel buttons - Make the steering wheel buttons work again. They didn't work when I bought the car, but I guessed it was because of the aftermarket head unit. * Install a GPS under the dash, out of sight. Ryan was awesome to work with. Every time I spoke with him, he was very helpful. The first time I called in, he kindly helped me understand the type of problems I had and how he could help with them. After my first visit, he was able to fix the whining noise and install an awesome gps, but the steering wheel button issue wasn't fixed. Ryan committed to doing some research and getting back to me the following Tuesday with his findings. And he did! He called me back with the research done as promised, and he recommended the right part to get things working properly. I can't say enough good things about his integrity and quality of work. I highly recommend United Car Stereo. They will be my go-to car audio shop from here on out.

    I had a fantastic experience yesterday with Music 'N Motion! My Honda Pilot battery died, and…read moreMenard went above and beyond to help. He actually came all the way across the street to where my car was parked, took the time to test everything thoroughly, and even brought a charger to see if the old battery could be saved. When that didn't work, he jump-started my car using another vehicle so I could get a new battery of my choice. What really stood out was how honest and reasonable he was. There was absolutely no pressure to buy anything, and the pricing was surprisingly fair, especially considering they work on premium cars. The installation was done cleanly and with great attention to detail, which shows the level of care they put into even simple jobs like a battery replacement. Menard was also very friendly and took the time to explain other services they offer. The shop itself seems fully equipped for a wide range of repairs, all at reasonable prices. I'll definitely be coming back for oil changes and future work. Highly recommend Music 'N Motion!

The communication is fantastic as they update you via text or phone call when ready to pickup. 5/5 all the way. Last note: You can finance any large expense purchases/installs.

    Got a reasonable quote to have a new radio and backup camera installed to my 2007 Honda Accord…read moreafter reaching out via Yelp. When I came into the shop to have the work done, Sayed said that because my radio was more complicated than he was able to assess, he was supposed to quote me $100 higher, even though I had provided the links to the products beforehand (because Yelp combined the two links I sent into one line when viewed on desktop, he wasn't able to figure out how to click into them ahead of me dropping off the car). That said, Sayed was generous enough to split the difference at $50 and then proceeded to deliver excellent customer service - he was attentive, thoughtful, and even gave a personal walkthrough of all the controls and other tips to keep in mind when I picked up the car. I've been using the unit for a couple of days now and can say the installation was flawless. Would come here again and recommend Precision Auto Stereo to anyone.

    Wrote this same review on Street Beat as they are one and the same…read more This experience was by far the worst that I came with so much time, money, and patience. Please note that this business is also connected with PRECISION AUDIO (https://www.yelp.com/biz/precision-auto-stereo-hayward?osq=precision+audio&override_cta=Request+pricing+%26+availability). I initially went to Precious Audio to install a new head unit and back seat entertainment system for my 2006 Range Rover Sport. I wasn't going to push forward on the entertainment system because, it wasn't what I was looking for. Later he advised that the system he sold me had all the newer streaming apps such as Disney+, feature to connect the phone, and head unit to stream the same visuals. Didn't happen. In fact, it was a lot of back and forth because, my purchase was more so treated as a DIY project and not so much that there was experience that they knew exactly what they were doing and how to do it. Which would've been fine if they had stated that initially. I spent a great deal of money for them to work a project they clearly haven't done before. Also, this isn't a shade statement to the installers that do the work who are amazing. This is all directed to the people who run the place. In a 2006 Range Rover Sport the screen dash unit shows the stock feature such as AWD functionality, modes, etc. When my aftermarket purchased from precision/street beat head unit was installed, that screen no longer worked. I asked them what happened and why isn't it on? We went down a tremendous RABBIT HOLE that only took time and money. Nor did they fix the screen for free. That also came at a cost which I disagree with because, it was their guarantee to get everything functioning as normal with the addition of the new head units functionality as well. So just a heads up, their prices are marked up to the highest possible. I guarantee a majority of their products can be found at other businesses for a cheaper cost. SO DO YOUR HOMEWORK FIRST. You're not getting deals here, I promise you that. I was given an initial set up which days later ended up going out. An error would pop up on the screen that said "CAUTION! AMP OVERLOAD." Then he advised me getting a higher model head unit, which of course I had to pay for. In addition, to get my top screen working they asked for the stock head unit (what if it got tossed out?) and apparently had to buy a part that costed hundreds of dollars which I never saw the receipt for, FYI. With all this back and forth, I asked if a discount can be given. For context, I started this project in mid year 2024. So I really did my part to stick it out with them and try to have it work. Especially because this project cost about 4-6k. I pointed out how JL Audio sells the same amp they sold me at a cheaper cost. I showed them how Pioneer has the same deck they sold me at a cheaper cost. And Mo stated they didn't get the "go ahead" from the business to sell at those prices. Really? You're a business who bought the product already. What permissions do you need? Fast forward to present day. The backseat entertainment still doesn't have Disney+. At first they stated that they just needed me to stop by to get it fixed. When I called to set up a meet that turned into, "We have to send the hardware back." for an update. Come on.. How am I going to be without a vehicle, yet again? There's way more pressing things in life to address than to be taken down a rabbit hole with individuals who DO NOT have integrity. I couldn't even get a price match on products in which their retailers sold it for. In addition, my current higher model head unit they recommended still BLACKS OUT occasionally. Like I said, what's the point of going back when I stuck it out with them for a long time, invested good money, and gave a great deal of patience and understanding. I'll never trust STREET BEAT or PRECISION AUDIO to do any of my work. I really hope car audio consumers come across this post to watch their back and their pockets. DO NOT COME HERE.

I spoke with Chandler who was very helpful and he convinced me to bring my car in. When I met Chandler he was very professional and he introduced me to Ava the store owner and again he was very helpful and very professional as well. First, I wanted to get the car lowered so Ava helped me purchase quality coilovers without breaking the bank. I also wanted a set a rims but they were on back order for at least two weeks and although I was willing to wait I really didnt want to and the rims I wanted happen to be on Avas brand new camaro and guess what!! I bought them. Lol Ava didnt have to sell the rims to me and that would have been ok because they really were not for sell. The fact that he did showed me alot about him and this place. He was willing to accommodate me without making feel like I put him in an awkward position, and also I think he saw how much i wanted the rims and I love him for that. So I purchased coilovers, new wheels and tires and had the rims powder coated to the color of my choice. WOW!! My Carli the Camaro turned out more beautiful than ever. Lol. Thanks to Ava and Chandler for your hard work. I am very appreciative of this place and would highly recommend to anyone looking to do any upgrades to your car.

A quick search online quickly pointed towards getting the IGLA PIN code system and Sound innovations is a nearby authorized dealer. Make the call talk to the Boss man Ernie and he laid every detail in front of me in extreme depth. He answered all my follow up questions and was able to get me an appointment asap! I mean this guy is an expert! I asked and I received. Ernie's installer Geo was equally as impressive and clearly has an immense amount of knowledge and experience working in this field. At the end of the install during demonstration, we discovered a fault in the device itself. The Bluetooth was unable to connect to any phone. So be sure you test every single feature if you pull the trigger. Geo, being the amazing worker he is, was able to replace the faulty unit in about an additional 1.5 hours or so. The boss man Ernie was sure to discount me for the extended time. Mind you, this was not their fault, just a bad unit from manufacture. A few weeks later I decided to take it to the next level and get Compustar T13 with drone. During all this time, Ernie is merely a text away through his business' messaging system and is extremely responsive. This job went extremely smooth and I went home on time. Unfortunately, the trunk release stopped working the following day. Sound innovations came to my home to diagnose the issue. They were unable to fix it but I returned another day and they were able mend the trunk issue in like 20 minutes. Regarding IGLA System... get it! Get it! Get it! I'm like an American 007 with my secret code. It Blocks access to odb (the way they steal it) and the car won't move if turned on some other way. Takes practice to learn how to use it properly but feels like it was worth every penny. Regarding Compustar with drone. You need this because these loser thieves will go as far as pushing or towing your vehicle. This system will alert you if someone shocks, tilts, or breaks the glass. It also performs as an additional immobilizer. GPS Tracking on drone mobile is great, remote control through cellular amazing. Regarding price.... You get what you pay for. You're not only paying for the product but also for the reliable service, expertise, and peace of mind provided by knowing guys like Ernie and Geo are taking care of your baby.
