AudioVideoKing

I’m not the type to write reviews, but after the experience I had with Brian from Audio Video King, it’s worth the effort!
I called in Thursday afternoon to schedule 2 TV mount installs after getting the run around from Geek Squad. I was off the phone in less than 5 minutes & was promised an appointment later that same evening.
Brain called me multiple times throughout the day to keep reconfirming the time — awesome! Best part of all, he was willing to come after 8pm which was perfect for my work schedule. The work he did was quick & absolutely perfect. He even insisted on vacuuming up the mess (which I was more than willing to do).
Two days later I called them again to move my living room TV. He was even faster this time than before. In & out in less than 30 minutes & that includes cleanup. I couldn’t be happier! These guys are pros!

Ok, so I read these ‘wonderful’ reviews on here, and to say the least, I’m truly disappointed.
My appointment was set between 2 — 4 today, and the guy they sent didn’t show up till 4:50.
I’m a really nice person, and I have a lot of patience, but I work in customer service myself, and I know how valuable time is. I’m not pointing fingers at the employee, who by the way, made an effort to make the appointment as quick as possible, but I’m more upset at not having a commitment to the time that was set for the appointment. We live in LA, I get it, things happen, but with that said, if you schedule an appointment between 2 – 4, I expect the person who’s doing the call to show up between that time, considering I have a very tight schedule and had other commitments.

Got a TV and some surround sound speakers installed by them. Installation was done flawlessly. Installers we’re professional and showed up on time. Price was very reasonable. Will hire them again for all my audio video work.

I spoke to George & told him I needed them to swap my newly purchased 55 inch TV for my older HD TV, (which they installed 2 years ago.) He said a tech would be out the following day between (9 & 11. Around 9:15, Javier came by & proceeded to swap out the 2 TV’s, reprogrammed my Verizon remote, & answered all of our questions. He was very professional & polite as well, not to mention patient in answering our questions.
I’m very impressed with this company.

This service provider was great! I called George and told him that I needed my security cameras adjusted. I was a little apprehensive because he wasn’t familiar with my brand of camera. He used a great car analogy and I agreed to the service. Manny, the technician, was right on time. He had zero problems adjusting the cameras. He knew exactly what to do and did it well. He didn’t stop until I had what I wanted. The best thing is Manny wasn’t working the day I called for service. He was out and about with his wife, who was waiting in the car in almost 90 degree weather, when he stopped to help me. Now, that’s service! I am well pleased and won’t hesitate to call these guys again.
Ask for Manny!

I’ve always wanted a little media room where I could watch my movies on a large screen with great sound and a big bowl of popcorn. I purchased some really nice equipment from the Magnolia section at Best Buy. NICE hi-​def projector, great speakers, sub-​woofer, Blue Ray, etc. I can’t complain about the equipment, they really took care of me. I just thought their price for installing it all was just a bit high. I knew it would involve fishing the wires through the wall and all that, but I figured I’d hold out for a better price. I initially called a company called Install Nation. Then I called them again, then again, then again, every time leaving a voice mail with my information. At the same time, I was leaving them emails on their website. I never heard from them. Then I checked out AudioVideoKing. I called the number and Zik answered on the first ring. WOW. I told him what I needed, he quoted me a great price, and even offered to come the next day if I wanted. We settled on a Thursday. When Zik and his assistant arrived, I was amazed at how quick and efficient they were. They cleaned up as they went along and did a great fishing job on the wires. I was very impressed at what attention to detail Zik has when installing. He would not stop until the picture was perfect and fit perfectly on my screen. After all that work, he stuck to the agreed price and gave me his number and info in case I had any problems (which I have not, it works GREAT). I couldn’t be happier with the job and the finished product. I have my media room and now I can’t wait for the World Series!!! A nine foot screen makes ALL the difference!
Thank you guys, you’re great!

I hired AudioVideoKing after the company that’s most recommended on Unilocal turned out to be too busy to help me hook up my system. I guess it’s weird, but I was a little worried by how professional AVK seemed, with an answering service and calls to remind me of my service appointment, because it seemed like I wouldn’t be getting the personal service of an owner-​operator. Totally not the case!
I was assigned Zik and Zee, who showed up on time and were very courteous. At first there was some confusion over what I’d requested when I called and what they’d been told they would be doing. In addition to reconnecting all the components of our AV system following a move, I needed them to hang two rear-​channel speakers from my ceiling. They called their boss and then he called me and we got it all straightened out.
Zik and Zee very gamely crawled all over our attic fishing cables and had the speakers installed in no time. Then they hooked up our fairly complicated system and tested all the components to make sure they worked. I can’t tell you how great it was to have somebody else mess with that huge tangle of cords and get everything running for us!
I’d definitely recommend AudioVisualKing for anyone who’s overwhelmed by the thought of reconstructing their AV system after a move.

So I finally purchased a big screen TV which I needed mounted on the wall of my bedroom. I also wanted all the wires concealed. I called a few local TV Mounting businesses and AVK were ready to take on the job the same day! An hour later 2 friendly gentlemen, Zik and Zaven (Mike) were at my house. They were very helpful and even went out of their way to help me rewire my computer/​router/​modem wires so that those too can be hidden away. Everything was a breeze. My TV looks wonderful and there are no wires showing at all in my bedroom, it’s actually better than I had hoped for. I will definitely contact them again when I purchase the TV for my living room. 5 stars!

I highly recommend this company. They are professional and their work is very clean. Both of my TV’s were done with highest level of care. Zik and his partner were both a pleasure to do business with. Don’t waste your time with anyone else!

i just had my sound system installed by the two most professional and nicest guys from AVK. The whole installation was wonderful and flawless. Zhik and Zavi did a great job and attended to all my needs. The whole process was smooth from scheduling to the end. I am so pleased and satisfied by their service that i will definitely use them and recommend them to my friends and family.

After a relocation, I tried for a week to get my audio and video components reconnected correctly. You know how guys will drive around lost for hours trying to find their way? It’s a pride thing. Same with this. I finally caved in and stopped to ask for directions. I called AudioVideoKing and received a next-​day appointment. I was given a three-​hour window and Zhik and his partner arrived as promised during the specified window of time. They were super friendly and helpful and Zhik really knew his stuff. He isolated all the issues (some related to old equipment) and found workarounds to get all my components connected properly and running through the stereo surround sound system. They were in and out within an hour. At $ 199 for the first 1.5 hours (and $ 100 for every additional hour), I felt I got money’s worth for the $ 199 even though it didn’t take them an entire hour and a half. One of the workarounds was an optical cable, which Zhik provided at a lower-​than-​retail cost to me. I really appreciated how efficient and helpful these guys were and would gladly use them again if I ever find myself holding the map upside down and decide I need to stop to ask for directions again.

Update to previous review:
I was contacted by the owner and he arranged to have a better DVR installed by a different manufacturer. The DVR was installed and so far so good. It appears that the problems have been resolved. The owner and his crew have worked with me to resolve the problems satisfactorily.

Called them back to get some more stuff done. As usual they were prompt and very professional. Really satisfied with them.

I contacted AudioVideoKing last weekend, followed up on Wednesday, and came to my house Thursday noon to do the install. George from AVK, was outstanding to work with. He sent out his installers Raul and Matt. Both men did a professional job in installing a motorized projector and projector on my ceiling. Very clean install with no visible wires whatsoever. Highly recommended in the LA area.
Thanks for your work! Will do business again in the near future.

We had been hearing of some break ins in our area and decided it was time we get a Home Security System for my house. Plus we may be selling soon and I think that will help in getting the house sold faster with this already in place. We worked with the Installers, Raul and Matt. They were great! I liked that they didn’t try and up sell us on a big security package. They gave us what we needed and what we asked for and nothing more. They had some great suggestions and ideas. They have done this kind of work for a while now so I trusted them. Overall it was a great experience and a great company. I would recommend then to my friends and family. As a matter of fact I have and my sister is getting her system installed soon.

OK, so after moving into my new place I wanted to finally get the big-​screen TV I have always dreamed of. I was looking at 50″ or more and of course I wanted a great surround-​sound system to go with it.
Problem; I have absolutely no idea what the difference is between an LCD TV or a Plasma, I don’t know which brand is rated the best, and I certainly don’t know how to set it up. I can barely get my darn email to work most of the time.
I was on my way to one of the ‘big-​box’ stores but, to be honest, the last time I went there didn’t seem to be a single person that knew what the heck they were talking about. So I went to AudioVideoKing on Wilcox Ave. since they are near my place. I had heard about them from a friend who was really happy with his new set-​up. (I actually was pretty jealous, truth be told.)
The first thing that impressed me was the service. Friendly people greeted my wife and me right away and asked if we needed help. Not pushy, just eager and they actually knew what they were talking about.
We ended up buying a great system based on their recommendations. Next step; get the whole thing set up back home.
Zhik & Zavi arrived a few days later and let me tell you they were great. Super nice and honest-​to-​goodness experts, they set everything up for us in no time, including hanging the TV in the den just where we wanted it and placing the speakers and sub-​woofer perfectly.
We’re so happy that we went to these guys! Fast service, prices that compare to the big box store, and people who not only are eager to help but know what they’re doing! Amazing! I recommend them highly to anyone who wants a great home entertainment system and great service.

I only reserve 5-​stars for the truly exceptional and AudioVideoKing (AVK) is one of them! I called another top Unilocal installer to inquire about having them help mount my new flatscreen above the fireplace, to which they said they wouldn’t recommend it due to structural uncertainties, without even looking at it! That’s when AVK stepped in and closed the deal for me. They came, they got the job done, and they cleaned up without any trace of drilling or debris. Thanks AVK, you really are the King when it comes to installations!!!

I had my tv installed over my fireplace by these guys, Eric and Raul did a great job they were very professional and helpful. I would definitely use them again.

Very quick and easy.
Called in the afternoon and they came out the following afternoon. Price was settled up front. The techs did a pretty terrific job and were done in no time; they seemed like good guys, and were very easy to talk to and work with. They even offered to swing back by and do some other touch ups with wiring.
Nice experience overall.
Note: if you call the number on their website and someone just answers but gives no indication that they’re with a company, or that you’ve called the right place, you may have still called the right place. I thought I had the wrong number, and when I said so, the guy asked if I was looking for home theater work. It was weird, but worked out.
