New Wave Sound

Great service very fast and a great price… Make sure u have an appointment Cuz he looked busy finished my car before the time frame. Definitely will be sending people his way…

Wow! I have never gone to get a car stereo installed, but this was such a speedy experience! Not only is the price really good, but Paul is super good at what he does. I called around but needed someone at the last minute. He had just finished with another client, and I was impressed that he timed it so perfectly! I especially liked that he made sure the stereo was working with the bluetooth before he had us pay! Super friendly, quick, and professional. Highly recommend go in and check this company out!

I taken my vehicle and friends car here and there prices or reasonable and they do a great job installing sound system. Go check then out first before you go anywhere else.

Paul and Danny are awesome! Straightforward more than fair pricing! Especially for the high quality of work they do. I came in looking to install a 12″ sub into my Toyota Celica as well as replace a pretty bum stereo/​radio. I was looking for a custom job, not just a sub in a box in my trunk and wow did Paul out do himself!!! The work was incredibly professional and everything I could have asked for. Made a side panel so you could see the amp from the outside, and tuned it so I was bumping as soon as I rolled out of the lot!
About two weeks later I jump started a friends car, and all of a sudden no sound from the sub, I called Paul he told me to come right on over, in 5 minutes he had replaced the fuse, and had me on my way once more! Great service, and they are always their to answer questions!
Will be going to them soon for some kickers! Recommend to all!

I was referred here by another stereo installation shop, and Paul greeted me with a big smile. It was a slow day so I think he was glad to see a customer. He checked out my used DVD/​CDstereo unit, said everything looks good so he hooked it up. Paul was very pleasant, and showed me how to work it. There are so many bells and whistles on this thing, what ever happened to the good ol’ days where you just hook up the speakers and the antennae, and you’re out the door? Anyway, he answered all of my questions, did not try to push any other product on me, and got it up and running in no time. He did a great job and I would suggest his shop to others who may be looking to install electronics in their vehicles. They sell and install alarms, stereos, custom installations, and repairs. He has good prices on amps and systems as well. Come on down!

This is a CompuStar authorized dealer. When my keyless remote stopped functioning, I came here to see if I could pay them to program it for me. Rather than program it for me, the man who runs the shop tried to convince me that I needed a new remote ($ 150.) For his price, he would sell me one for $ 70 or so (same as ebay)
I bought it knowing that I needed my alarm to function. When the battery on my car died some months later, my remote was reset, I came back to see if they can re-​program my remote for me. Because I was not there to purchase anything, the man made me wait 7 HOURS just to program my remote! after wasting 7 hours of my life in this shop talking to some lady with a parrot, I finally got them to program my remote for me after bugging them time after time, hour after hour, something that only took them a couple of minutes to do it seemed.
Very shady way to treat a former customer in my opinion.

new wave sound has been my one stop audio and alarm shop for over 10 years. i don’t know how many cars i have brought him over the time. not to mention my work vans. the quailty is great. knowing that when i bring my car to him, it will be done right. his prices are extremely fair. what more can you ask for. talk to paul and he’ll take care of you.

This place is the best. they always do a top notch job. I have been going there for like 7 years. When you go, ask for Danny, he does great work, never cheap like other places. He’s honest and takes care of business. I’ve taken many people over to see him. all have been really happy. Danny is the man.

Wow. These guys are a fantastic find. As far as small shops with great employees and the owner walking around, this is one of my favorite! After going to a couple other shops and being upsold on stupid install and harnesses etc., these guys were courteous, fast in their installation, allowed me to ask all my ridiculous questions and answered them, and did an excellent job installing my car stereo at a price that was so low that I couldn’t have even hoped to match it at a Best Buy even with free installation. They even said if there are any problems just bring it back, and they’d take care of it. Great shop. I will recommend everyone I know to it, and will go back for any audio I want in any of my cars.

After much searching, I decided to buy an Ecplise AVN2210p. After trying to deal with some big name retailers, I called New Wave Sound of Lawndale. These guys were no-​nonsense, and confirmed that the steering wheel controls would work and told me to come in the next day. This was a complicated install– they had to replace the stereo, hook up the iPod adapter, install the GPS antenna, connect it to the car’s speed sensor, add an antenna booster, hook up the headlight detector and also connect the aforementioned steering wheel controls. The installation was not without hiccups. The steering wheel controls didn’t work initially! I told New Wave Sound that this was a huge deal for me, and if they didn’t work it was a deal breaker. So the guy who ran the shop drove to Orange County to get a new part. The next day, I returned and the new part had the same problem! Then, after wasting hour of my time and hours of New Wave Sound’s time, the part maker told him to reverse a couple wires and it worked flawlessly. Woo-​hoo! The guys at the stereo shop were top-​notch. There was a problem with the radio, so I came back a few days later and they installed an antenna adapter to solve that problem. Plus, they connected the stereo to the car’s dimmer switch. Now, when the lights turn on (automatically, naturally), the map will change from daytime colors to nighttime colors.
Next time you need a new car stereo in the Los Angeles area, head to New Wave Sound in Lawndale. Outstanding service, very knowledgeable, excellent prices and very helpful even after the sale.
