Summary

AI Generated from Google reviews

The business receives strongly positive reviews. Customers frequently praise fair prices, clear communication and careful installs of speakers, subwoofers, head units and remote starts. Reviewers often name Kyle and Conner, and several mention quick fixes that saved them money, plus finding their cars vacuumed afterward. Some negative reviews mention promised callbacks that never came, a final bill above the expected price, and a 2025 dash cam job where a lower model was installed than the one charged for. The business replies to almost every review, usually calmly, though a few older replies argue back or call a rating fake.

    The best customer service I have received in years. My main power wire from my battery to alternator and starter had been fried. I went to all the auto parts stores and went to Voss to try to track one down and had no luck. I went into California customs and told the employee my situation. It seemed like he was so excited for a new problem to solve. A rare trait now a days. He created me two custom wires to replace my factory OEM ones that had failed. I asked him the cost and he simply replied whatever it’s worth to you. Installed them in my car and fixed my issue. I have been trying to track down the right part for a week. A week with no car! My only regret was not going to them sooner. Based upon what I saw today I’d trust them with anything! I will be returning to them soon to have them replace my key fob as the factory Chevy ones are junk! Thanks so much for saving my day! I will refer you guys to every person I meet

    Connor and Kyle are the greatest I had a problem with my main speaker in my vehicle. They diagnosed it and had it repaired within minutes. These guys are the greatest. I went to a different store a couple days prior and they wanted to install new amplifier and speakers for about 400+ dollars. Highly recommend this group for any work that I need to have done in the future

    Kyle and the team installed all new door speakers and a subwoofer in my car for an incredibly fair price, even vacuuming the vehicle for me afterwards. Look no further if you need any car audio work done.

    Response from business

    Great setup. I wanted something simple and effective (loud). They added 4 speakers and a sub. Sounds great for all types of music. The team did an amazing job making everything blend together in this old truck. They communicated every step of the way to make sure I got what I wanted. Big thanks to everyone that helped with this project.

    I stopped by after going to 3 or 4 other stereo places with bo luck solving my issues. I got to California Custom and talked to Conner about what I was experiencing. He didn't hesitate to walk out to my car and help me out. As it turned out I had done something wrong and Conner told me what I had to do to fix the problem. I ended up making it home and now my new subs hit! All thanks to Conner. After 2 days with no luck he solved my issue. Whatever you guys are paying him isn't enough. If I ever buy anything else stereo related I will absolutely be from California Custom. Shoutout Connor!

    Kyle & crew have super customer service, and do solid work for a fair price! I had an ignition interlock device I needed installed for a family member ASAP. I’d already called two places that told me they don’t do nonstandard installs because it’s too much work. I called California Custom Sounds, explained what I needed, and Kyle said sure. He and his crew got it done that weekend, for less money than I was expecting (based on what the device manufacturer told us to expect). It works great and you can’t even tell they were in the car. Very clean install. Thank you, Kyle!
