Bob’s Car Audio & Electronics

The customer service is by far the worst I have encountered. The whole installation process took over a year to complete and they still could not get it right. I would recommend try another audio place that has some kind of business ethics and completes the job correctly.
I’m sure glad I kept my paperwork to show proof because they completely changed the story around about the install deposit. They could not remember anything and they messed up the job several times.

They installed an alarm system and all of a sudden my steering wheel started having issues. I took the car to my mechanic and was told the alarm system was not installed properly, locking up the steering wheel, and the only way to fix the steering wheel is to take the entire alarm system out! Wasted $ 300 dollars on the alarm. Also, these guys have the worst customer service ever. They are not friendly at all and you will realize this in one minute after walking into the place.

Tom is AMAZING! Especially on Fridays! Lol! Love this place! Bob and Tom really know there stuff, and Sherly is very nice also! Will definitely recommend Bob’s Car Audio to anyone and everyone!

Replaced a stock deck in my Tacoma with a Touch screen with Bluetooth. Bob also included a backup camera and upgraded speakers. The price was sooo much better than what I had quoted at Best Buy. The installation was clean and the new setup is great.
I came back a week later to upgrade the deck in my Jeep Grand Cherokee with an updated Pioneer dvd player. Everything was installed neatly. Will have to return because I forgot to make sure the steering wheel controls worked properly. They didn’t but I have no doubt Bob will take care of it.

Plus a million stars! I took my 07 1300 Tourer motorcycle in for handle bars speakers and an amp installed into saddlebags. I dealt with Bob the owner whom is completely knowledgeable, technical and professional. The best part was having a front seat and watching the entire install. Most shops will have you drop it off and you just cross your fingers and hope for the best. I was not willing to do that because if something goes wrong with the electrical system your screwed. I am so pleased with the inexpensive pricing and stealth workmanship. Bob went above and beyond the call of duty on my motorcycle. I kept my eye on Bob and my motorcycle and it came out a winner, I felt compelled to write this review because the owner deserves praise for is workmanship. I will be back to have some additional speakers, amp and led lights installed plus let him take photos of my motorcycle, God bless you Bob!

minis 100 stars… The worst experience of my life and still haunting me to this day… Went in on a Saturday and spoke to Bob. Made an appointment for that Sunday at noon. I ask him roughly how long it would take for them to install everything. He said about 3 hours. I said ok let’s do it, I’ll just hang out around this area until you guys are done. I was trying to surprise my girl with a new stereo with bluetooth to sync up with her iphone. GUESS WHAT TIME I GOT MY GIRL’S CAR BACK??? 12:30 A F*CKIN M!!! AND IT STILL WASN’T SYNCING TO HER PHONES, The whole REEEEEEASON FOR ALL OF THIS. We came back at 3:30 to check on the car and nothing was done. He said he’s so embarrassed can we give him a couple more hours. We went to the mall for 3 hours, came back to see our car in pieces and outside in the rain with some KID sitting in the driver seat and BOB working on some douchebags car that just showed up without an appointment and finish his first. I was about to punch BOB, that’s how PISSED I was. I even thought about calling the cops but my girlfriend said I just want my car done right. She asked how much more time do you need. He said call him at 8 and that he has a guy coming to help out. She calls at 8 and he says almost done just give us another ½ an hour to be safe. We left our place at 9 and arrived at 9:20 giving him ample more time and they’re still working on it. Not even close. I think they were are all on myth, just clueless of the time so I cussed everyone out and Bob said how sorry he was. I was so pissed I was SHAKING. That was the MOST unprofessional and full of shit place I’ve ever, EVER experienced. I sat there and watched them at that point, I’m not leaving till this shit is working. Around midnight I finally heard the stereo turn and the one guy was putting it back together so I open the back trunk to make sure none of our shit was missing to find a pair of worker boots on top of a glass frame and a door mat with the philadelphia eagles logo on it. I’ll like what the F*ck??? I take it out and put it on the floor. By 12:30 I was so exhausted and over it, when they couldn’t get the phone to sync I said I don’t care I just want to get the f*ck out of here. The next day I figured out how to sync the phone and it works. Weeks later my girl was cleaning out her car and found a BAGGY W/​SPEED RESIDUE!!! If the cops would have pulled her over and searched the car for some reason she would have GONE DOWN for that BULLSHIT!!! 2 more weeks later we realized that they didn’t even put the car back together correctly, the back seat belts are underneath the cushion still!!! WHAT THE F*CK??? It’s beyond crazy. I’m usually a very cool and understanding person but this is so comical and such a bad story it doesn’t even seem realistic. That place needs to be raided and closed the f*ck down.

I came here today to get my car audio system dialed in. I was pretty embarrassed to go to a shop because I installed the system myself, and I didn’t know how to get the right settings on my sub amp so my subs would actually hit.
Justice helped me out in two seconds, answered all of my questions, and didn’t make me feel dumb for not knowing what I was doing. System sounded 2x better. He gave me honest advice and I recommend him and the shop to anyone else in my situation.

I purchased an entry level radio and 4 speakers for my Chevy ¾ ton truck. After reading previous reviews, I was a little concerned. However, I believe the service is terrific. Installer stayed very late to get the job done. I would only say to work with them, discuss what you really want. I think I got a fair price for good equipment. Installers are local torrance guys.

Took my Cadillac escalade almost 4 years ago, Don’t waste your time… It’s been 2 years and 5 attempts at getting a $ 2k sound/​dvd system to work.
Now after all these years the radio makes an obnoxious high pitched sound, regret not paying for the luxury package straight from the car dealership, atleast they know what they’re doing and can guarantee their work.

Excellent service and great prices to match! Got a sound system installed in my Harley hard bags, and man it sounds awesome! I get thumbs up everywhere I ride now. This won’t be the end of my sound chasing journey. I will recommend this place to all my motorcycle riders and anyone that wants a mean sounding system. Thanks bob!

I’ve been coming to Bob’s Car Audio for last 6 years. i have been nothing less then satisfied every single time i come. i have brought over 5 friends here to do the same. Every one of those friends including my younger sister has returned and brought more of their friends as well. i don’t understand how anyone could possibly give this place a bad review. from the service to prices to the people everything is excellent!

Highly Recommend!
I went to these guys on a whim, needed a new stereo for my 2006 Honda Civic LX. Excellent service, these guys were extremely helpful with helping me pick out the proper stereo for my needs. Very professional, quality service and the installation was super clean, quick, and looks/​sounds great.
Thanks Guys!

These guys did a good job installing my bluetooth/​ipod/​cd/​stereo a few years ago. Due to my own laziness, I failed to bring it back to them promptly to point out that the stereo wasn’t playing. That’s because I never listen to the radio, and everything else was working fine.
Just recently, under pressure from many car passengers, I brought it back to them to see if they could do anything. They fixed it immediately and didn’t charge me a dime, even though it had been well over a year (or two) since they had first installed it. Nor did they ask me for a receipt or anything like that.
I’m very impressed with the way they stand behind their work, show loyalty to a customer, and go the extra mile. That’s class. That’s customer service.

Purchased a car stereo and avital alarm system, which after being installed, the alarm box would move around and ended up getting stuck under my clutch. The stereo was not properly secured either. whats worse was the alarm was improperly installed and caused my dash lights to flicker and short out. i ended up getting the alarm removed by honda and the wiring redone. i have since returned the alarm to bob’s. take your business elsewhere.

Bob helped me fix my car stereo yesterday, which wasn’t working properly. He was very professional and helpful even with a little obscure European connector that was broken on my car. I saw a ton of speaker enclosures around the garage and a guy working to make a custom sub enclosure. Most of the guys in this auto plaza are pretty good too. I highly recommend Bob’s.

Probably the worst car audio installation experience ever. I called in to get an estimate on how much it would cost to get my sub+amp installed– sounded fair until I got there and the owner raised the price on me by 60+ dollars.
I still went ahead with the install since I saw many shining reviews from Unilocal.Well, a one hour job turned into two hours, then three, then four, then over five hours… what the hell are you serious? Also, the guy who was working in my car (Some skinny guy with a dirty mohawk) had a cut on his arm and left some dried blood stains in there WTF! I have a crime scene in my car now! Instead of using a tool to strip a wire the dude used his teeth… WoW I would have pulled out and left but I saw this at the 5 ½ hour mark.
That was not the worst part… couple of days after the job, my battery died. Yup they did not know what the hell they were doing and the amp kept draining my battery even when the car was off… NEVER COMING BACK!!!
I had to scrub and febreeze my ride for two weeks to get rid of rancid B.O. left in my car.

Good service walking in and reasonable charge. I had problems with the work done and was advised how to take care of it. The problem is, the things needed to make it better were the orginal things I brought it in for. My return trip to address the things that stopped working (a week later) made me feel like a nuisance.

A+++++ Highly recommended local business. Went in yesterday to buy an iPhone integration kit for my 2005 Xterra, and have it installed. Discussed all the pros and cons with Alex, who was super knowledgeable and patient. He suggested that a new head unit with bluetooth and AUX-​in might also be an option, and after looking at some models, I settled on a nice new SONY that cost the same (installed) as a much less elegant after-​market iPhone adaptor solution.
During the shopping process, he even unboxed a new Pioneer Appradio and did a quick demo hookup in the shop, so i could see how it worked. Also spoke with Bob the owner while looking at head units – he was really friendly and informative.
Alex is awesome, and the shop has very good prices and a high level of professionalism and expertise. My installation was flawless and quick, too. Plus, they offer a lifetime warranty on their installation work (for as long as you own the car). Who can beat that?
Save yourself a headache and head to Bob’s.

I had a stereo and new speakers put in a month ago and they went out of their way to make it right. I had an unusual problem in my VW Van there was light coming in that reflected of the face plate so it was difficult to read the led display they literally spent hours trying to solve the problem including changing the stereo 3 times just to make me happy. I had them change all the speakers so the enhance the quality of the sound they put capacitors on the speakers to balance the sound and the remounted two speakers with the sole purpose of getting the best sound, I noticed they sometime underestimate the time it will take but it’s because their heart is in the right place and they want it done right, I have been back 5 or 6 times to learn more about the bluetooth or satellite radio and they are always very helpful. I would definately go back.

Bob’s is a top notch and honest stereo shop. The staff is friendly and customer focused (thx Alex). I got a recommendation from a friend with a 1965 Chevelle SS, so I took my 1965 Cadillac there. In short, if we can entrust our babies with them you can trust them with your sled.
The best part of the experience was, since I am DIY type of guy, I needed some more complex wiring done to finish the job. Tom really helped me out explaining what he was doing and charging me a fair price. I got a quote for the same job at a shop on Aviation in Hermosa for $ 200. After someone tries to rip you off, it’s a breath of fresh air to know there are still honest and reputable people out there. Once I get some more coin I am going back for an amp and install.
Tip: Get there when they open because they get busy quickly.
