Very friendly very helpful personnel, honor offered to help me find anything that I needed and explore different options according to my budget. Even though it was a Friday they offered to work the end and get it done before they closed which was very nice of them to do. Very good prices compared with other companies that I called in San Antonio. Honest straightforward business people.
The workers was real courteous And friendly thanks guys Youre made my day
Great place for all your electronics for car audio and security. Good prices and super friendly.
Went in on a Monday at 10:15am, drove away a 12:30p same day with a JL 1000/1 monoblock amplifier and a 12 Alpine Type-X in a Pro-Box installed and tuned. They even installed Dynomat to the trunk to help reduce rattle and increase sound quality. Jay knows his stuff, and gives multiple options. Will definitely be back.
Best place ever!! Amazing prices and friendly staff. Would DEFINITELY recommend!!!
Good service, these guys are very knowledgeable and owners are really good with customers, they go out of their way to please you.
Just a few words the owner is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. They installed a viper alarm A top-of-the-line radio a kicker box and for new speakers. The alarm chirps the system turns off on its own I went in and the owner with a smile said I needed a new radio then I told him that’s crazy and was a little upset he then came back And said it started to work. What he was trying to do is not right. I lefted with a chirping alarm and my system still not fixed. This place is so horrible if you want to get ripped off just come here.
Sooo rude the lady was not helpful to negotiate a gud price ..will never go again sorry
So far so good... lets see when I pick up my truck and hopefully everything is in order for later. Keeping fingers crossed! Will update laterUpdate: they did a fantastic job. Some minor issues but got it fixed without a doubt!
Horrible service and didnt even wire the stereo correctly. Opened up the stereo and it was sloppily done. My fader and balance wasnt working and they told me it was because my actual car speakers were broken but they were working before they worked on it. Had another professional work on it and he was able to make it all work in less time and no BS excuses. Just stay away from this place. Waste of time and money
I came in the store to show them my car they were so rude and didn’t even wanna help me or tell me what to do with my radio
Great inventory especially for hard to find components you can only get online this was the only place in town that had what I needed.
I love this place! These guys are good at doing their job. Prices are fair. It’s just an overall cool place and I will always be a loyal customer! Thanks guys
The place was pleasant and they have great customer service. Plus lots of great deals 👌
Got a system installed today sounds great just don’t like How sloppy the wiring was installed and my amplifier was thrown under the seat and not mounted on the back cab of the truck lil over price for sloppy wiring
Paid $250 to have a stereo rewired in my Toyota Prius c. But upon completion the stereo components dont work only the radio place GPS doesnt work and Bluetooth doesnt work.
Great work cool owners!had work done to my tiburon,f150 and chrysler aspen!
Caution. Nice people, good work, fair prices. But beware that if you use a credit card they will add the fee to your card so your invoice total will be different from you credit card charge. I think they should tell that upfront. Maybe this is new thing now but I have not seen it before.
I stopped by for a price for a system on my truck. Spoke with J, super knowledgable in regards to what I may want or need. I will be back for install
A1 Audio is a great place to go for all your car audio necessities they were very helpful have wonderful prices and do a quick installs I would recommend them to anybody in the San Antonio area or the outside of San Antonio area to come get Adan at A1 audio. They are very good guys they come and see what the problem is and I understand car audio very well. Thank you Mr. Lopez and all the guys at A1 audio for installing my new radio in my 2010 Ford explore you made my wife very happy.
I Live In Austin And Drove To San Antonio To Get Two 15 L7 installed with amp and sub boxThere price is the best, highly recommended
Ive purchased 2 alarms gotten multiple windows tinted and recommended this place to friends and family. Great prices and they stand behind their work with or without your receipt.
Good variety of brands to choose from and great customer service.
Jay and Alex I appreciate you taking cat of my wifes car. Great service and quality work. if youre looking for a good deal on a car stereo you name it. They got it.
Good customer service and lots of selection.
Went in for a specific item and upon arrival the staff was welcoming and helpful. The guy charging me kept adding numbers to charge me more thinking I didn’t know math or something. The place is kinda sketchy but they had what I needed. Overall a good place, friendly service, just make sure you know how to do math with money in case the guy with the calculator doesn’t.
The worse experience! I went today to get an alarm and stereo installed, I spend the entire day to get a bad surprise. My dash board was not attached and broken, a bracket and fog lights switch got broken and it was obvious that the technician didn’t care about my truck. I brought this to the owners attention and he try to make it right by calling the technician but the technician was careless about my vehicle and the owners Bussiness. Very unfortunate when they didn’t do well on the job, but I gave them the chance to make it right and they didn’t recover well. In Stead they blame my truck saying that it was too old (very sorry excuse)
Great service, been coming here for years and will continue to do so. Thanks for all the years of great work and more to come!!!
Jay was very friendly and he was pretty fast with my car. Thank you God bless
They have installed several stereos, TVs, and alarms on my vehicles with absolutely no issues. Staff is always friendly ( except the cat) and are always willing to help you. Plus they have great prices.
Gonna go back the guys qere cool and knowledgeable
6 stars if I could.
Great service everyone is really nice
Best place in town..must stop and shop if you are serious about bunp
Just looked at my door speakers that I had put in about a year ago, it kept going in and out. It didn’t even have a connector attached to the speaker. It’s literarily the speaker wire wrapped around the positive and negative connections. You get what you pay for.
Told me they had the part i was looking for over the phone, I come in and they dont have it.
Went to get speakers in our car was told 40$ they told us we needed a amp..worth 380.00 dollars..they were trying to get more money out of us...I found a wonderful place put our speakers in for 120.00 WITHOUT A AMP...dont go to this place they will try to get more money out of you...
Excellent customer service. I take all my vehicles there.
This place is awesome! Great customer service and professional work! I highly recommend! They installed a vipor alarm and tint for me and my wifes Jeep!
They have great prices and do great work I take all my vehicles to them
Ok. Overpriced.
Awesome service and best prices in town
Took my CTS to them today. I had an aftermarket stereo installed about 3 years ago with Pacific Audio, but they went out of business and I was having some trouble with my AC controls not working. I took my car to Custom Sounds on San Pedro about a year ago and they were very adamant about not being their problem and not guaranteeing me they would be able to fix it. Well, they didnt and charged me $69 anyway. And they chipped a decorative piece in my dash. Anyway, I took it to A1 and right away the owner started giving me some ideas on what they could try to get the problem resolved. He explained the possible cost depending on what needed to be done. The technician (Alex) that was assigned to the job, came by while I was in their waiting area and asked me a few questions about the situation. I told him the AC was working, but all the controls were off and I could not change any of the settings. He went right to work and within about an hour and a half my car was pulling up at the front of the store. He told me he was able to do some updates on the hardware and got the controls working again. The owner charged me only $40 for this amazing work! I am extremely pleased with their knowledge of their business and very happy my car is back to normal. Highly recommend these folks!!!!
I have been here 3 times. Alarms, Tint, and Radios on all 3 vehicles. All the work, staff, and owner are great. Very reasonable price. I thought my factory speakers were bad. The owner showed me it was just the factory radio and no need for a speaker replacement. Very honest. I would recommend them and I will be back.
We went into this place feeling scetched by the previous reviews, and were extremely suprised on how amazing it turned out. They installed a Sub/Amp for me, and prices WAY lower than all nearby Audio stores. The personnel were extremely kind and welcoming, and finished in a quick manner. 🏆
Everytime I go they do exceptional work! No complaints.
These guys were so very awesome, Jay was so helpful. I went 5 plus car places and No one could help me without me cashing out my 401k(dramatic). They were very professional and helped as much as they can. if you looking for a deal and good people they are the go too guys. Happy hoildays guys thanks you so very much.
They do good work at reasonable prices and have tons of equipment in stock ready for install.
I had a great experience dealing with the guys at A-1. The owner is genuine and fair and the manager and workers there do a great job. I would definitely continue doing business with them as they also have the best prices in town!
Great and fast service I definetely recommend 🤗❤️
Good guys, good price and quick install. Only downside? They only sell these wonderful, modern one dial controls all units, which frankly should be banned because they distract you from driving. Not their fault- the only type available in the not-so-free market these days.Anyone want a free stereo? Ill give you the one they sold me. A month after purchasing it, I replaced it with the much more sensibly designed OEM unit (with individualized mechanical controls) at a local bone yard for $15. Worked perfectly, too.
Bad service wont go back
Good customer service
They were very quick and professional! Im going back to get my back up camera installed and i know they will install quickly. Im just mad that i just learned about them!! Come here and you will be very pleased!!
Great people,great prices and installers did an awesome job.Car sounds great!!Would definitely recommend.
They have mostly everything you need for a good car audio install. Good prices.
Its so crazy to me that these people charge $8 for a reciept. It blows my mind. Seems like such a scam. And on top of that, they couldnt give a BRIEF explanation on how to install...cause they say theyre installing it if they explain a little. Money hungry people. Will NEVER do business with these people again. You would think after spending so much money here they would like to help you since youre a customer.
A1 is definitely my go to for mostly all my stereo and mobile electronics needs. Owners are awesome and super fair with their prices.
Was in town for training/on business. Decided to get Windows tinted as it was something I had been thinking about for some time. They did a horrible job (bubbles, uneven trim, etc) so I went back in to have them fix it. The fix was just as bad, if not worse. Both times my windows were left dirty with cleaner film and it was all over my interior. I even found a used razor on the floor boards. I asked for a partial refund as it was still bad and they refused. I had to return home after dealing with them for a couple weeks... Horrible service. While its better than nothing, I wouldnt ever recommend anyone get their Windows tinted here. Side note, I overheard some shady stuff going down about selling things without receipts. What a disgraceful business.
Ignore the bad reviews. They did a very very good job. Everything is perfect and was installed well and fast.
Took my civic to get my amp installed along with a sub, they told me my sub was no good trying to make me buy another sub from their store when i know my sub was good. So i went to best buy bought a sub and still didnt work! These people installed the wires incorrectly so thats the reason why my sub didnt work! They dont know what the hell there doing! I will never go back !!
Not trustworthy people at all, they lie to look like good people. Unprofessional
I went to A1 in January of 2018 and paid $700 to get all of my factory door speakers replaced with Memphis speakers. Along with that, some 12 subs and tint. A few months after that my passenger door speaker started rattling. Mind you this is a 2016 Kia Optima. I went to them today to let them know the issue and all the owner had to say was my door panel is old thats why it rattling. Now I know Im not crazy. I came home and took off the entire door panel and watched the speaker RATTLE like I knew it was. My 2015 Kia Optima doesnt even do that and I got it done at the same freaking place. If you want to waste your money on something that you dont want fixed not even a year later, go to A1 they will make sure that they dont even attempt to take an actual look at your vehicle. They will be more than happy to tell you that your just going to have to deal with it since you new car is old. This review is a negative 5 star review because I was blown off today in a matter of 2 minuets. Dont waste your money youll just end up spending more!!!
These people are SO SHADY, Do not do business with them.Previously Bought a HID kit from them a couple weeks ago, to have 1 fog lamp burn out.I didnt ask for a refund, all I wanted was 1 Bulb which they refused to sell me without buying a whole other kit.I didnt give them a hard time at all, I accepted the offer of another kit, to see the wires where all cut, and what does the employee do ?He laughs and sticks his tongue out ..If you want to be helped by these kind of people, go ahead and come here ! Theyll love to take your money, and laugh in your face.
I went to three different shops here in San Antonio trying to get my stereo, that i already had installed with an alarm. Not only was it quick and professionally done but out of all of them the best deal.I really did get hooked up thank and it hits hard than before
Great place to get a great deal... These guys are very helpful and are more than willing to go the extra mile to make sure you are satisfied with your purchase
I have been to A1 car stereo many of times for multiple system installations . Hands down the best prices in town . I have compared to Custom sounds, sound masters and others . They beat the prices by a long shot . Customer service is great . Keep in mind your going to A1 for audio service . They are there to provide installation services based on what you request and make personal recommendations . They are not there to cater food and give some luxury customer service . It an AUDIO business . They make great recommendations, have great prices and get the job done CORRECTLY in a timely manner . When it comes to car audio they are the best in town .
Okay so before you plan on going to this location make sure youre free for the next two to three days literally they tell you whatever theyre going to do should take 45 minutes to an hour I went to lunch I went to lunch went shopping and got my haircut and still ended up waiting 3 more hours. There work is mediocre but keep in mind you get what you pay for you get what you pay for and if youre willing to wait 2-3 days to have amps and subs hooked up and windows tinted and be my guest and go there then
Good work for a good price👍
Purchased a “top of the line” car alarm from A1 as a birthday gift for my boyfriend and we are extremely disappointed. After several hours of patiently waiting the vehicle was finally ready; only to discover a poor installation and missing fuses. FUSES THAT HAD ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH THE INSTALLATION ITSELF. It seems as if the owner and installer were annoyed from the jump after we requested a specific remote start system and not the one they initially tried to sell to us. I guess messing with the owner’s fuse box was their way of “showing us and getting even.” They were unwilling to explore the vehicle for the issues at hand and told us to return in the morning. I will not be returning and will most definitely file an official complaint with the CFPB and BBB. I definitely do not recommend this place of business to satisfy your auto / accessory needs. Pay no mind to the ONE STAR rating. Unfortunately a single star was required to provide a review. They earned ZERO stars!
They do a great job. Enjoy doing business with them.
Fast efficient service. The speakers sound amazing. And they were hundreds cheaper than the competition!!
Great audio place been going there over 10 years and they have always gave me a great deal.
Was completely satisfied with the job they did my speaker & radio sound awesome everything work just fine would be back again.
Took a good 2 hrs but they did start soon as I got there and there were ppl in front of me so good staff ..
Took my Mazda to have a stereo and headlights installed, they didn’t let me see my car while they worked on it which was kind of sketchy to me, they drive it to the back of the building which is why they get away with stealing from you. And then they didn’t even bother to make sure the buttons on my steering wheel was working with the stereo. Needless to say my headlights weren’t connected correctly which I found out later after taking it to another shop, they had asked who was previously working on my car because they messed it up. This place has a bad rep I would never go back I rather do the work myself. Brothers audio is around the corner, they can do a better job than this place.
Dont do business here. Waste of money. Went to fix all doors speakers was told needed a new radio for rear to work. Spent extra on radio and tunrs out the rear speakers were not plugged in. Called to ask for refund they denied saying it was working when I left. Yet I went back next day to tell them the rear was not working. Owner started to argue on the phone. Very unprofessional if you have to argue on the phone when you get called out on your BS. Wont be doing business here anymore.
Installed a stereo in dash on a 2006 Dodge Charger stereo stopped working after a month of being installed I called the company so they can fix it or check it or even check the fuses been calling for 3 Days to get a schedule date company does not want to help to check and see whats wrong with it very very poor customer service so quick to sell a product but cant do good on your word to check it with warranties and stuff I really do not recommend anybody going here
Across d str frm my Motherz apt hm
HORRIBLE TINT JOB! Unfortunately. Friendly service, looks like they have great prices on stereo equipment but SERIOUSLY. .. didnt even get home and noticed bubbles, ripples etc. DO NOT GET YOUR TINT HERE. The price is low so you get what you pay for, S4!t
Great prices and customer service. Owners are very nice and honest. No I dont work here or know them.
Genuine, honest and friendly. Great prices.
Good prices.and good stuff
This place is great if you love half fast work. I had them do some work on my radio and its just been a big headache since my purchase. First I noticed that when they did work on my radio they had to remove the dashboard completely and put it back on once they were finished and I noticed that they removed my handle to open the hood of the car and never put it back on, when I went back to ask them to fix it they tried blaming me for the missing handle. They ended up fixing it after a good while of me explaining that it was them who didnt fix it right. After I get my handle fixed about a week later I had a blow out and I had to use my hazards and what a surprise my hazards didnt work, at first I thought it was a blown fuse but when I checked all my fuses they were good so I just tried to replace the hazard button and when I took my hazard button out of my car they just placed the button on the car without connecting the wiring and the wiring was just hanging inside my dash behind my radio, now I have to make yet another trip over to them to see if they can fix another mistake they made on my car. Just terrible, I will make sure to never go back to them.
Just want to remind people there are two sides to a coin. Dropped off my car to get 4 new speakers(2 factory speakers not working), new stereo(factory cd went out) and a reverse camera. Originally was informed the cost as I walked out went up cause of a conversion kit, said ok and cancelled the camera. Walking in was informed it wasnt needed and got the camera. Someone walked me thru the stereo options and paired my phone. Over all my experience was great and would return.
Lets inventory got every kind of stereo you need they will help you out and tell you exactly what you need for your vehicle for your audio system blow your ears out very nice and former on guys that works there
Interesting place! So much car crap you can barely walk around. Very helpful staff! This is probably the best place to go if you are on a tight budget, and cant do it yourself.
Never let me down.
Please trust me, this happened to me. I was told not to go there and I didnt believe, I had to suffer the consequences. I brought my my car with a radio that I purchased online to them to remove the manufacturer and put the Bluetooth one that I had brought. All my speakers were working just fine before I trusted them and gave my car keys. They took my car to the back and came back almost two hours after with my car stereo well swapped but the right speakers werent working both the top and the bottom. When I asked them, they were trying to convince me that my speakers were broken. I couldnt believe what they did to me, their idea was me to buy speakers from them. I had to pay $50 dollars somewhere else for troubleshooting. YOU ARE ADVISED. DONT COMPLAIN IF THIS HAPPENS TO YOU.
This place has an amazing amount of inventory. I was in awe of the sheer amount of things they had for vehicle stereo customization.However, after talking to a young man about the price of a 4 channel amplifier, i asked how much is this amp here? And his reply was i dont even know then he began to let me know how my system could not handle an amp and I needed to upgrade all that before i do anything else like an amp.Being a previous owner or a car audio store (onslow audio in Jacksonville NC) i may have a little knowledge about the industry. Please do not assume your customer is a complete imbicile walking in off the streets. Especially if they pull up at the front door in a highly modified jeep.I was really hoping to make a nice purchase today, but your customer service was down right disappointing and rude.
I was in the middle of doing my own car speaker install. I called ahead and asked for a price on 4 feet of 16 gauge speaker wire, the guy told me about a dollar. Sounded good to me, so I went there, they cut it for me and handed it to me for FREE. these guys will definitely get my business again.
Nice place and price good get ur sound system from them I do nice as well friendly
Best car audio and tint installers. Also the best deals!
Trash just trash. Had an alarm installed and these people messed it all up. Car didnt unlock and some how or another when I hit the panic button my windows rolled down... Save your money people . There is better people to take your business too then this place. Believe me if there was half a star, thats what I would have given this garbage.
Professional Car Audio installation place in town. You can also get Trackers,GPS and DashCams installed here at reasonable service charges.
I bought few items for my 2016 Mustang few days later had a problem with one of my amps. I took it in to have checked out and made it right.. This company is great!
Horrible service. Owner is rude and doesn’t know what he’s doing. I showed up to get a subwoofer fixed. Instead of telling me they couldn’t do the work they stated that they could and told me to leave the subwoofer and to come back in 1 hour 30 min. When I came back they didn’t even touch the subwoofer. When I asked why, they said that they don’t fix subwoofers there even though they told me when I dropped it off they could fix it. Spend your money somewhere else.
The service is great they are friendly, plus if you purchase Alram System it has a great warranty on its product and they take care of you and your vichel.
