I recently took my car in to get a new radio and new rear camera installed. Justin and his team were friendly, professional and super knowledgeable. Also try out the detailing shop right next door. His name is David and did a fantastic job on my Kia Sportage. I walked away with a new radio with Apple car play, functioning rear camera and a clean car! I feel like I have a new car 😊 Thanks so much Area 51!!

Justin at Area51 did a great job fixing a broken subwoofer in our 2014 Mazda and replacing the factory head unit with a new Kenwood. Wow what a difference everything makes in the quality of sound. Justin was great to work with and fit me in right away! Highly recommend!
