Mobile Fantasy

This was my first experience with mobile fantasy. I was looking for a place that could replace my basic radio system that only played CD’s and tapes. I needed a stereo system where I could listen to music from my Iphone. Not only can I listen to music, I can also receive phone calls through the Bluetooth system. The prices and installation were more than reasonable. I plan on taking my car back to have speakers installed.

Went in for a minor modification for my car, as this place came highly recommended from a friend.
Sean and Mike were very friendly and the service was quick and accommodating despite my same-​day request for service.
Will come again!

I wanted to surprise my wife, since her stereo in the car was basic, and she enjoys music.
So I took it to Mobile Fantasy. They have been in the location for over 15 years that I know of. They installed the stereo, the mic, etc and made sure the crApple BT was working right. Stereo now ROCKS!
Owner takes pride in the work the crew is doing. He made sure things were soldered and done how I expected. A lot of times you take a standard car that isn’t brand new and shops can neglect things. Not here, they took care of things regardless, new lux car, or a daily commuter. Well done!
This was somewhat a basic install… Check out the other crazy nice work they do!
Thank you guys!

Despite never looking at the reviews from Unilocal I came over to Mobile Fantasy hoping to get some great service. I had bought a new head unit for my car and it’s awesome! It took only an hour to install and now I’m driving with my music blasting! Thank you guys for the amazing work! I will definitely come back to get more stuff installed and will recommend to my friends!

Worst experience I had. I felt so ripped off, they charge me 200 $ for the initial install and screwed everything up… dome light were not working right on the DVD player and picture does not show on fron screen, I went back for them to fix it and they charge me another 50 dollars to fix their mess, dome lights got fix but front video not working still… cost me 900 $ all in all for them to put a cheap dvd in my car… word go advice… never go ther!!!

They fix what others do wrong. This man is so honest and so skilled. From repairing my mother in laws basic stereo to a complicated system, he does it right every time.

Sean and his crew rock! I had a new HD radio and iphone mount installed in my truck. The dashboard mount was broken from and earlier incident years back, and they installed a bracket that had broken, and now my dash doesn’t rattle any more.
Nice clean install. I will repeat.

I’ve had the team here work on 5 cars in the past 8 years and I keep coming back and referring friends and family! They are not always the least expensive option but their work and attention to detail is great — plus they are always helpful «after» your job is finished and you have paid them. I find that a lot of other places don’t give you the time of day after the job is done and after they take your money.
Overall I give Mobile Fantasy an excellent review and will continue to use them and recommend them. Brian is a particularly helpful and talented guy there although the whole team is great.

Was here last month because our whole speaker system had failed. The delayed review is only reflection of my lack of time, not their quality because I have been raving about these guys to everyone for the past 4 weeks.
Dropped off my car in the morning, and by the time I had walked back to my office (10 minutes max) they called with the problem and an estimate. They were efficient, thorough, and kind. They even fixed a couple of other cosmetic issues with the car (but made sure to get my permission first).
Absolutely would not hesitate to recommend this place. Top Quality.

I bought a stereo from Mobile Fantasy two years ago. I don’t know anything about sound systems but I wanted to get Sirius and my car was not equipped for that. I was very happy with the stereo, the sound, blue tooth, DVD player, and the customer service.
Flash forward to today– two years later. For the longest time, I had been driving the car with a god awful reverberation coming from the back speaker. Today I happened to be in the neighborhood of Mobile Fantasy and just dropped in to see if they could check out the problem. All the guys who worked there were very friendly and dropped everything to help me… and no– I am not some hot 20 year old!!! lol :) They spent around 45 minutes checking on the problem. They fixed it, hooked me up to Pandora and even vacuumed my trunk. They didn’t charge me a penny, just gave me a warm handshake and hug and sent me on my way! What unbelievably great customer service!!! I will be back and I will tell everyone I know about how great Mobile Fantasy is :)))

These guys know what they are doing. Very detail oriented. Always making sure everything gets done right. Very happy and impressed with their work.

I purchased a car stereo to upgrade the system in my wife’s 2005 Lexus RX 330 here for my wife as a Christmas surprise. Mike was very helpful informing me of the options available to me. I wanted to buy a system with Sirius XM, a better navigation system, blue tooth etc. The factory system with navigation in this model Lexus is awful. I ended up buying a great Kenwood system that included Bluetooth, navigation, Sirius XM and many other great features. When we first turned the system on, we couldn’t believe the improvement in sound quality. It was professionally installed, looks much better than the factory unit, and Mike took the time to explain the features of the new system and showed us how to operate it.
I highly recommend Mobile Fantasy! I would definitely return here again.

I bought a car a while back car of my dreams rather. And it was and still is a big project for me. It came without rear speakers and I believe front speakers or tweets as well and no head unit.
I brought my car and a Sony deck to get a quote on installation for the pieces and was talked to by a pretty cool dude. He told me around 3 bills and I was fine with that. For a speakers and head unit install combo. He said the car would be done in about 4 hours. So I left the car and was called 30mins later to find out that he needed to manufacture a bracket for the head unit to sit in. I was hesitant on it and asked how much. He told me straight up 30 bucks for all the welding and fab. I was pretty surprised and went ahead with it.
All in all the car took exactly how long I was told and the speakers are great and really fairly priced. The only thing I’m not happy with is the head unit I brought in for install he offered me a deal for 60 extra dollars I could choose any other single layer faceplate he had and I denied it because I had my own. I didn’t realize how crappy it was but none the less that was my fault.
This is a great shop and the customer service is above par and I would recommend to anyone.

I came here at least about 10 years ago to get some stuff installed. Like other shops, they broke interior pieces and it felt like the car was rushed. Let’s say something should take 4 hours. They’d get as much work as possible, let my ride sit there and tell me to come back at a certain time. Then they’d rush to get it done. No one mentioned that my impossible to find interior pieces that are no longer available to buy were broke, I had to mention it. PLUS, their prices are real expensive. I recommend buying the parts online and installing yourself. I came here because other places failed me, and they appeared to be the best. But in actuality they will only do perfect work on certain folks cars, maybe friends or super high end cars. Mine was an older custom vehicle that they probably thought was a POS. I just don’t see any reason to go here unless you want to get taken for a ride.

Great selection and great customer service. Mike is very knowledgeable and helpful and his prices are reasonable. I highly recommend this place

I shopped around about 1.5 years ago for a sound system, video, and alarm to be put into my SUV. I came across Sean, Brian and Mike and couldn’t have been more pleased with the work that was done.
They kept the car almost five days, as we added window tint, and they updated me throughout the process.
Upon picking up my car, I was beyond pleased with the quality of the workmanship that went into the installation of each item. After month, there was an issue with a back-​up camera and it was replaced within an hour.
I am writing this review over a year later because since the install, I have returned for updates on my head unit and various questions throughout the time. Never once has there been a request for more money, or a «we’re too busy right now».
In fact I have been so thankful for the work they did, and the ongoing support they provide, my daughter and I took everyone lunch a few weeks and we sat while they took a break and shared stories of children.
Thank you Sean, for your help and Mike and Brian for all you do every time I’m there!
You all are the best!

Top-​Notch customer service by all of their employees. Sean and Mike were very honest with their prices and they do one hell of a good job. Just got LED lights installed in my car and the clarity and quality of the lights are amazing. Not to mention they give discounts to CSUN students. If you are looking for good service and competitive prices then I recommend you this place. Thank you Mobile Fantasy!!! :D

Since Sean commented on my original review, I only want to make it clear that I stand by my rating 100%. If anyone questions my credibility, I ask you to read ALL of my Unilocal reviews. I’m sure you will find me to be fair. If you are not knowledgable about car stereo equipment, you cannot trust Sean to give you fair service!

After just purchasing a 2011 370Z and finding out that a $ 36K car comes with obscenely poor factory speakers; the hunt was on to remedy. I went to 4 other places with mixed reviews and contradictory information. My quest brought me to Mobile Fantasy where I met Sean, the owner, and will continue to establish a long lasting relationship.
On my very first meeting he explained that I was going about my speaker hunt the wrong way; he showed me the proper path with top-​of-​the-​line quotes, mid-​range quotes, and budget quotes. He said regardless of my choice his crew will be topnotch. Unfortunately, I’m a teacher with a budget and chose the mid-​range install.
I was walked through types of speakers from aggressive to average; I chose aggressive. I was walked through speaker wire gauge and gladly accepted the appropriate gauge allowing me to upgrade to a more powerful system in the future. I was walked through my amp choices and accepted the recommendation off his expertise. I was walked through how door-​dampening (insulation) can increase sound quality and was sold. We agreed on a mid-​range price with «hours» of install work and I walked away happy knowing my car was in good hands.
The PAYOFF: 7-​hours later I picked up my car. The interior looked completely stock as I requested to deter thieves. The «genius» was hidden all around. My car audio is on a different level than I could have ever expected. The clarity, crispness, volume, richness, and warmth were AMAZING! And this is the mid-​range setup! I now have a live symphony surrounding me in my 370Z cockpit.
When my wallet recovers I will take the initial steps to achieve top-​of-​the-​line sound; it’s that important to me. Spend some time and have a conversation with Sean if you are looking to upgrade your car audio system; you won’t leave misinformed. And just perhaps you’ll be a customer for life.
Of course, this review is for anybody who wishes to hear my opinion…

Why didn’t I bring my car to mobile fantasy first ?
These guys replaced a botched stereo which I had installed at a ghetto shop in reseda, they were cool and honest, not shady like the other shop.
Since my 1^st visit I’ve been back twice, once for bluetooth and then for an entire video system in a different car.
The owner is a super friendly guy, and the installers have some serious knowledge of their craft, the chubby asian and hairy guy were happy to explain to me what they were doing to my car and why .
overall great place
