Summary
AI Generated from Google reviewsThe business receives strongly positive reviews. Customers frequently praise Bryan's knowledge, patience and honest advice on remote starts, subwoofers and motorcycle stereo systems. Reviewers highlight clean installs, reasonable prices and good help with online audio orders, and some drive in from other cities for the work. Some negative reviews mention unanswered calls and unreturned messages, including a week without an answer while the shop was closed, and one 2026 dispute over a delivered amplifier the customer reports was stolen. The business replies to nearly all reviews, and its replies to a few complaints argue back.

I came to TDS to have a remote car starter installed, but my car had a sensor that would prevent it from working properly. Bryan brought this to my attention before starting the installation and took the time to explore different options. He went above and beyond to troubleshoot the issue and make sure the remote starter was installed correctly. I really appreciate the extra effort and attention to detail, and I’m not sure other companies would have taken the time to do the same. I’m extremely happy with the service and would highly recommend Bryan and TDS to others!

Awesome place! Bryan was able to reinstall my factory Porsche radio back to perfect fit after another installer butchered the aftermarket. Thanks!

I called this place for a week straight. No answer. I even drove an hr to the place and no one was there and the door was locked/lights out. Dont waste your time or believe them review. The reviews gotta be FAKE!!!!
Response from business
Sorry to disappoint you. I was stranded in the Upper Peninsula in a blizzard.😔. Just getting back at it today and saw this review. I can't accommodate you when I'm not at the store. I apologize you wasted your time driving here but my voicemail clearly says to leave a message or text me. <br><br>These reviews are definitely not fake. I'm one-on-one personal with my customers and do everything I can to take care of them. <br><br>Seeing as you and I have not done business at all together, I don't think I can consider you my customer and I think a one-star review is unjust because of this.<br><br>If I can help you in the future I definitely will try. <br><br>Thanks<br>Bryan TDS Car Audio

I ordered a 800x4 and nevertheless I’ve still not gotten it! The owner; Eric. UPS delivered your package. If UPS didn't deliver it they would have bought you a new amp. I'm sorry it was stolen but that is out of my hands. Like I said I will split the cost of another for you to help out but I can't send you a new amp that was stolen off your porch for free. 😔 my response is,UPS leaving a package without my signature does not transfer the loss to me. I paid you in full for the item and delivery. Until the amp is in my possession, the transaction is not complete. Please provide either a replacement amp or a full refund. I have already filed a police report and will allow the court to decide responsibility if we cannot resolve this.” No response are care for my money I paid in full so sad i wanted to do business with this company not no more

This is a shame. Package with photo proof delivered and you want a new amp for free. Sorry, doesn't work that way.

Son lost remote starter on the wife's car. Dealer and another aftermarket place could not look to see if we had an original or aftermarket starter. Bryan was much smarter than them and had me with 2 fobs in less than 15 minutes of showing up. Definitely the best experience in any local business in a real long time. Thank you

Ok not my real name it is Frank Hubler. Somehow it keeps listing my junk mail address. We have a back up car and my mothers car. Meeting Bryan man what can I say about this guy. Told him what I was looking for on our backup car that has to be parked away from my residence. He actually tried to down sell us ! We still wanted a digital remote to keep and eye on things..and it has paid off already been alerted to two possible attempts. Next we take the main car in to have a remote starter put on her car. Again beyond friendly and took the time to review her car prehand and found out the remote start for her car would cause problems and it needed a different one. If you ever meet Bryan face to face you know in 5 seconds he knows what he's doing and he is a no B.S. kinda guy that cares about his customers. Not just a name like some other places car stereo and such. And this is a kicker that my old email for junk kept popping up to validate the review..and found my best friend who had been looking for me for years leaving messages in there. All around win on this. Great service, no issues at all..and reunited me with my best bud I havent seen in almost 30 years..lol. Respectfully, Frank and Delores Hubler
