This place is awesome couldn’t be happier with my system Gilbert was very helpful and I didn’t pay a cent more than the estimated price. The install is clean and sounds amazing!!! Thank you guys!!!
Took my 4 year old car in to install subs and an amp and they took it and it work for about 3 hours. It blew a fuse. I took it back they fixed it very nice of them but when I left it had a check engine code and an air bag light. I tried reading the code but my obd2 had no power I then took it to another shop for a diagnostic and the shop said whoever put the subs in messed up my air bags and my obd2 I took it back to custom stereo and they said that it’s not their fault they didn’t touch anything that would do it I told them the shop is saying it was them touching the fuse box and they said look you already got them installed there is nothing we are going to do to the car it’s not our problem I then had to take it to the dealership where they said the sub shop just mixed all fuses around till the subs started working and messed a bunch of stuff up in the process definitely not going back the second I paid they “helped me” and then after that they said bye bye they wanted their money and then they were gone
Update:My appointment was at 9:00 AM and I showed up at 10:30 am, EXTREMELY LATE. When I asked him how long it would take, they said. “I do not know”. I figured it would take 2-3 maybe 4 hours to complete an hour job and decided to stay in Fresno (since home was an hour away and I had no ride).It was my fault to assume that they would finish the job within a reasonable amount of time. If they would have told me, “we wont get to your car until the end of the day” or “please make an appointment for another day”, then I could have prepared myself. In this case, ended up stuck in Fresno for 7 hours.I still stand by my statement of lack of communication. In this situation, from both of us. I should have told them I was from out of town and had to way back home and they should have clarified my options and the situation. By the time they were done, I had a clear, calm head and I was happy with my purchase. From a scale of 1 to 5, five being best, I give the product a 5 star and customer service a 1.The cashier guy seemed friendlier and the price seems reasonable, so I will try again for my truck.
Best audio place!!! very friendly and informative will recommend to friends and family👍
Customer service was excellent. Gilbert thanks for help when other stereo shops didnt have any idea
Fabulous experience! The speakers in my passenger door have been out for a while. Finally called yesterday afternoon and score, they were able to get me in this morning. Was all set to have the speakers replaced and went home to wait. Got a call less than an hour later, the problem wasn’t the speakers but the speaker mounting in the last installation (not them). They had shifted in the door enough to that the solder joints were touching and shorting the system. Lucky for me, just a little labor vs paying for new speakers, and I’m back in business.The guys were quick, up front on my options, and honest - they could have gone ahead and replaced the speakers. Heck, they could have fixed the wiring and charged me for speakers, not that they would have but I would not have known the difference. I will absolutely be recommending them to anyone that asks and will be going back if I need work in the future. Made my day!
I recently moved to Fresno from Chicago and finally found a solid all-around car audio shop here in the Valley.California Custom Stereo is the by far the best for all-around car technology, customer service and quality control for car audio systems. Paul, Gil and Robert showed me the ropes in the car audio game. Paul is greatly knowledgeable in the field of car audio electronics. Gil managed and made sure I got the sound system I was looking for the right price.Recently, I bought a 2018 Honda Accord and had it fully-packaged with everything JL Audio.Paul recommended I go with C5 set (front and back) from JL (tweeters and mid-range) two JL W6 12s w/ a JL 1200.1amp + 600x6 amp for the cabin speakers + JL Fix for the head unit. The whole set-up is filled crystal highs, outstanding mid-range w/ slamming powerful bass. This system is full-on sensory experience like none other. They really worked with my budget.Ive been back multi-times for different areas of car needs and wants from the overall sound system, sound dampening to fog lights and alarms. CCS can do anything top-notch car related.Much thanks to CCS.
I recommend ca custom to anyone. I got a appointment fast friendly customer service and my stereo sounds great 5 stars ccs.
This is the second car of mine that Ive had Gilbert at California Custom Stereo install an anti theft alarm. He is very efficient, fast and he knows what hes talking about and doesnt try to oversell. Thanks to them I still have my cars.Example: I was in a store shopping one day and my key fob let me know somebody was trying to get into my car. Thats what Im talking about this is the kind of device you need to have on your cars to make sure that they remain your cars. Thank you Gilbert and thank you California Custom Stereo.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDI moved From Boston to Fresno and when I starting asking around about car audio and where to get an installation done CCS was the first name I heard. I went in spoke with Paul and my install was scheduled and completed in a very fast manor. I have returned many times with questions and inquiries and ultimately another install. Everyone at the shop is always professional, knowledgeable, upbeat, and just happy to explain or make suggestions if needed.
Stand up business! Much respect to Paul and the owner.
Pretty good work they did my SI and another car before and it came out clean but this eclipse not very please seemed like it was rushed the alarm horn is inside the car kinda bugs me that its inside broke my 2door panels but it is wat it is take ur time next time and dont rush it
THANK YOU!!! After losing thousands of dollars to another shop I came in looking for help. And California Custom Stereo helped fix my stereo and get me what I wanted.Thank you for fixing the mess another shop made. I appreciate your honesty, knowledge, and friendly customer service. I look forward to taking my stereo to the next level. 😉Thanx Again!!
Paul, Sav, Robert Did A awesome job. On the familys 2015 Tahoe APPLE CAR PLAY, Android auto. Works great. We love it. We came up from Merced. Stereo shop in Merced, said we wont install, Apple car play,Android. The team at Califonia customs stereo said no problem. They treated us with respect .Answered all questions. We had. Very professional. Did I say treated us with respect. I recommend them all day. Thanks to all the team there.
Went in just to fix an issue with my door panel installation caused by another place. Guys were super helpful and quick and fixed my door perfectly. Highly recommend!
This guys are awesome extremely knowledgeable very friendly really there for you great products I will be going to them in the future for all of of my alarm and stereo needs
I have had my car and wifes car worked on here. Everybody is extremely professional, nice, and efficient. Never tries to overquote or sell me things I dont need. Definitely recommend.
Great place to get stereo installed
Quality equipment. Ive been coming here for over a decade. They really know their stuff. Ask for Gilbert if you ever need professional advice. The prices are just too expensive, but the installation and customer service are worth it.
Great guys honest prices. premium quality service.
Any one looking to put a security alarm on their car, THIS IS THE PLACE!! I got my viper alarm installed 2 days ago and I’m so happy with it. Shout out to Paul for helping me choose what was best for my vehicle after it was tampered, he’s great and honest. Overall Excellent customer service and great staff. Will definitely be coming back for some extras for my Toyota Camry
Highly recommend these guys. They have always taken care of me when I go in. Gilbert and Paul are stand up guys. Recently replaced a head unit and subwoofers in my truck and they did an excellent job. I would not go to any other place for stereo or alarm needs in Fresno. Josh
THE BEST GUYS to go to in Fresno for any car sound system. I have a c5 Corvette and they installed all new speakers, with an amp, and stealth sub. All the work done was very quality, and the car sounds stellar. It was at quite an affordable price and I had my car back within a few days. Definitely will be a repeat customer for any other sound systems I need.
These guys do awesome quality work. I worked with Paul and he is very professional and doesnt try to upsell you into what you dont want. You tell these guys what you want and they make it happen.
California custom stereo is by far the best stereo shop Ive been to. The customer service is superior, I believe they are honest, and theyre good at what they do. I had them fix a mess another shop in town caused. Their prices are reasonable and their work is always timely. I wont take my car anywhere else. I highly recommend them!
Called before I went in yesterday and talked to employee Paul who also installed my alarm on my 04 trailblazer. Got great customer service and was help instantly after coming in. Even got to watch a great movie while I waited. Called later and even got a great price on another vehicle. Will be back several times and highly recommend.
Im very happy with the level of service they put into my Nissan Titan, they werent pushy like most places are, they took the time to help me find what type of alarm system works for me and also fits my budget... They did a great job installing it and took the time to teach me how everything works!! Id highly recommend them!!
Best service in Fresno for all electronics your car need. I Have them installed an alarm on my jeep the work was done quickly and very clean craftsman never have any issue. The second time I used this business was for some major work need to be done on my RV. Everything was done just right . So if you want things done right dont waste your time shopping around this is the place where knowledge and experience will make a difference.
I came in today to get the DVD player in my car fixed and Paul was so helpful and more than willing to repair it for me even though it wasnt installed there. They were really busy but he managed to fit me in, even without an appointment, and he even charged me less than what he quoted me. I would definitely recommend California Custum Stereo to anyone; very professional and accommodating.
Very competent crew, excellent equipment and good service was what I experienced during my visit. I had an unusual install and it proceeded well. They did the install that my local dealer would not could not. If you wish radar detector, custom stereo, computer custom stereo, these are the guys. Not necessarily the cheapest but the best never is
Great people great company will b back again
This place is great. Great customer service. Paul went out of his way to help me. They do great work. I will recommend them to everyone.5 star
These men were awesome. Had lights installed and they went the extra mile. Ran into an issue and Paul got it corrected in a flash. Will definitely go back to have a stereo installed next.
GREAT customer service! I called a gentleman named Paul about a part and he went above and beyond to help me get a better price for it and also helping me understand key audio information. Recommend this to anyone looking to find a great system and have it installed by very professional and nice people.
Ive been going to another stereo shop for years, but over time their customer service has gone downhill. I stopped here by chance to ask a question about a problem I was having with my system. Instantly they came right out to my truck and looked it over, they were able to find out the issue, informed me what needed to be done and had it fixed within the hour. Their knowledge and customer service is second to none. I will be going back for all future needs as well as have friends and co workers switch from the previous shop to the crew at California Custom Stereo. Job well done gentlemen.
I had California Custom Stereo install the Viper alarm 5704V with all the bells and whistles about three years ago on my Silverado 4x4 truck. They did an excellent job! It worked perfectly and was a clean install. I was having a problem with my Smart Start on my phone last week. I made an appointment to solve my problem. On Tuesday, Paul worked with me for half an hour to solve the problem. He even called Viper directly to solve it. Paul got it fixed! He was very courteous and to my surprise, he didnt charge me. I would highly recommend California Custom Stereo for your alarm and audio needs.
Quality place with quality work being performed. Good prices. Great customer service with Gilberto
I came in looking to purchase some door speakers. The price on the speaker said $169.99. I told them I wanted them and they asked if I wanted them installed. I told them I was doing it myself and all of a sudden the price was $199.99. I told them no I wanted the price on the wall at the speaker and they said “ ok $179.99” I walked out the door. If your getting the items installed you should be ok, but otherwise they will try and change the price on you. One other thing. Don’t look for a disabled parking spot because there is not one.
California Custom Stereo is the place to go! The service was amazing, all my questions were answered, and they are very friendly. Gilbert helped me out, and he stuck to his words on how long the wait would be. I recommend this place to anyone who is looking for great service.
The best in town!!! No need look anywhere else. Paul was professional, helpful and freely shared his expertise. Thanks for helping me put some bump bump in my new Toy Hauler.
Had a problem with my alarm and Paul fixed it quick. He showed me the problem so I could fix it if it happens again. Paul was awesome, had excellent customer service and I didn’t have to wait long. Would recommend and come back again.
I cant thank these guys enough. I had taken my car to three shops thinking the reason my car wouldnt start sometimes was due to aftermarket accessories I put in and no one could find out what was wrong. I took it California Custom Stereo and they found out that I had corroded battery cables and whoever had the car before me had just twisted the wires together instead of soldering them. The anxiety and headache of my car not starting was driving me crazy. I would definitely recommend going to them, they were so helpful!
These guys did an awesome job on my 2013 Honda Accord Coupe. They were very professional and honest. I recommend them to anyone looking for fast effecient service.
These guys do good work! Wont take my vehicles anywhere else for stereo work. Very friendly employees, easy to work with and extremely professional installations.
Great service and they gave me a good discount, than any car alarm company. Thank you Gilbert.
Great place with great people. These people take pride in their work. They care about their customers and provide excellent custom installations
The Best and trusted electronic stop in Fresno area. No Wonder all the franchise dealers and business get their vehicles done here. The Best of the Best.
Paul and Robert were very professional and explained my audio, TV, and breaker issues with clarity. Definitely 5 star service. Thank you guys, Jason
Great service and great prices. If you want quality work come see these guys!
California Custom Stereo answered all my questions and took good care of us. I would recommend them any day. Thanks!
Great service, very upfront, GREAT clean work. I put in a new navigation made by Pioneer, I have the car play and I LOVE it. They actually saved me some money by using my current XM where other shops wanted to charge me for a new XM device.Go see them their GOOD
Very professional. Only downside is the wait time to get things done. Always busy and backed up but we’ll worth the wait
Love them!!! Best service and best quality! I live 5 hours away from this business and I would never go anywhere else!! Thank you for all you have done when my car was broken into and my wiring was all messed up!!! Been going to these guys for 10 years!!! Wont go anywhere else!
Paul and his crew go out and fix the problems left by other guys. Do it the right way so you dont have to keep coming back and select whats appropriate for you versus what costs the most. Genuine quality service that builds trust and exceeds expectations.
Wow, what a great find. These guys took care of my car stereo when another guy couldnt after having my car for 3 months. I wish I had found California Custom Car Stereo long ago.
First time going there and they did a great job on my honda. They also put some Japanese pieces I ordered on my car.
Went there n there were two brand new z370. They installed pioneer navigation system almost like factory made. Fit perfectly there, its amazing how they just do perfect, clean job unlike many other stereo shops around. They integrate BMW, Mercedes, rangerovers and almost all cars. I took my z350 to install a navigation system. And I think the job they did is even better than the factory. ;)
2/23 just had my alarm install their Great price and great work everything looks clean and professional the reason only 4 stars is the didnt go over the system after install I have and other alarm installed in another vehicle and the install walked around showing me the alarms feature and how to adjust sensing field around truck
I really appreciate these guys. I messed up the after market alarm on my 2013 Tacoma. I called to see if they could help (they do all the alarm installation and repair for CarMax, where Id purchased the vehicle two years ago) and was told to bring it by. It could probably be fixed, but they are full service if it needs replacing. I pulled in. Although they were busy, Paul came out to look at the truck. He spotted the problem, fixed it and told me to remember them in the future. I highly recommend these people.
Very pleased with the work and my new back up camera. Thanks guys!
Thiz guys knoe what they are doing! I really recommend them to everyone. No messing around, reasonable money for quality stuff. Love my need sound system baby!!
Had them install power windows in my 1998 2-door RAV4. Reasonably priced and top notch workmanship. The windows work smoothly, no rattles or other problems. Thanks!
Honest. Straight. Trustworthy. My kind of people. Use them.
I like the service and specially the work that it was done on my Canyon truck with the installationI will recommend this place for anyone looking for a good sound system and at a good price for their car or truck.
My first experience with California Custom was today while on the phone with Paul. Our dvds had stopped working and he offered to take a look, but what got me in was His professionalism while on the phone when he dId not even know me. Great service you guys!
They were very Helpful and I Appreciate the Great Service.. Great Professional Quality installed at a Great price..
10/10 customer service and build quality would 100% come back again to get stuff done
Best job to install my alarm....great company
They helped fix a problem with my alarm system that 3 other shops couldnt. They were very professional and had a clean shop. Also the employees werent bad to look at. Definately would recommend to a friend.
I had such great experience and recommend anyone and everyone here!! All the employees were so helpful and went the etrxa mile!! Great customer service!!! My boyfriend need a stero for his semi truck and I needed on for a classic truck. They helped us out by seeing what would fit our needed and got it intalled the same day!! Thanks guys from California custom stereo!!
I called California Custom Stereo to see how much it would cost to uninstall my factory alarm on my car because I wanted to find out what was draining my battery. I talked to Paul and he said it would only take a minute to uninstall it and that he would do it free of charge. At first I thought he was trying to play me for a fool but this guy went out of his way to help me and even checked my battery to see if it was good or not. Wow! Talkin about good customer service! If I ever am looking for a new sound system, this place will be my first stop! Thanks again for the help Paul!
It was my first time here and the service was great! They fit me in to there busy schedule and got me out. I wasnt being sold on something I didnt want and was actually charged less than the previous quote because they didnt find the original price fair to what I was getting(a $50 dollar difference). I dealt with Paul and he was Dope.
Did an awesome job on multiple vehicles of ours. Definitely the best shop in town for custom audio.
Come on down to custom stereo and get work done with great service and great product ask for the short guy paul with the frizzy hair he get anything done you need
Bought an expensive head unit from Paul @ CCS. Had a lot of trouble getting it to interface with an older factory amp. All I can say here is that Paul has been infinitely patient and supportive throughout the whole process. Every time ive had an issue, Paul hasnt hesitated to do what it took to get it taken care of...even more than 10 months after resolving the last issue. Wouldnt hesitate to do business here again or advise anyone to do the same. GREAT shop.
Every time I buy a car I take it here right after.Best prices for high quality hardware and great professional service with no BS.Highly recommend!
I recently found this shop and had to pay a visit.. i was interested in a new deck so paul one the worker showed me all the different models and explaind all the pros/cons for my preference and style of phone. We settled on one of the new pioneer avh 1300 nex with apple car play and android auto. O have fallen in love with his unit.. affordable and great quality. The install was on a rainy day and they made us feel more than comfortable at the shop while he installed it.. with slight modification to make it fit, the finished poduct looks as if it could have came stock.. couldnt have been happier with the results and service.. if you are looking for quality service and products, stop by on north blackstone and check them out
California Custom first and foremost far exceeded my expectations for my Trucks build. Their craftsmanship combined with the heavy weight JL audio everything from amps to components and just “1” w7 12” absolutely dumps.... cleanest sound I’ve heard in a really long time. No distortion at max volume. Going anywhere else in Fresno for Your stereo needs would be a mistake....#CaliforniaCustom #1#JLaudio#hasNOcompetition
The guys here do quality work.
Scheduled an appointment with them and then had to cancel, there seems to be attitude with the guy I speak to. I have no tolerance for that therefore two stars. Other than that the rating is not for their service since I have no room to comment on it.
From now on my #1!!!. stop and see these guys are good ppl they took care of me other shops in fresno couldnt complete there jobs, you guys did thanx again!!!!!california custom stereo 👍
Paul was great! Very knowledgeable and friendly.
California Custom Stereo Recommended and authorized by most the dealers in Fresno AUDI,PORSCHE,JAGUAR BMW CARMAX Etc. Here is Very Happy Repeat Customer!! Ive had several services over the years on High end Cars BMW,JAGUAR XFR PORSCHE PANAMERA, I was very satisfied with the Factory Quality Installation RADAR DETECTORS, BACKUP CAMERA AND ALARM SYSTEM . if you looking for Factory QUALITY installation affordable prices This the place To go...
Just got system in Audi and these guys are the best
I wanted to get a whole system done for my 2011 dodge challenger, subs stereo amp the whole nine yards.... i shopped around and decieded to go with a diffrent shop in town (BIGGG MISTAKE!) i left the shop feeling good about it and i ran into nothing but issues after issues. i took it back to the other shop and refused to fix the problem finally i got to set up an appt and still i it was just another issue. so i went back to custom stereo and they fixed my problem and left satisfied with the job they did on my car, and still till this day no issues. I ended up paying the amount twice but lesson learned should have gone with custom stereo to begin with :)
Great service and great prices
Horrible service.Overpriced.Not worry it!
Happy with my system!
Hands down best work.
Extremely knowledgeable great work
