Quick and high quality install of a Jensen head unit. I added the back up camera as my truck has a fiberglass camper. Connecting to my trailer was simple. The owner was very friendly and patiently answered all of my questions.Im very pleased with the appearance and function of unit. Had a nice meal next door at the cafe while the work was being done. Definitely recommend this business & staff.

WARNING!!! BEWARE!!!Father & Son business SCAM!!Transaction Date: 5/1/2021Cost: 240.00Work Attempted: Dashcam Install!!! May seem friendly and genuine but actually money hungry, uneducated, and rude after payment is accepted!!!Attempted to install a 1200.00 BlackVue Dash Camera but did not have the technical skills to complete. Their neglect to inform customers of their knowledge could have lead to my car EXPLODING!!History of Events:[1st] Wired my camera wrong causing my battery to drain, even though I provided instruction from the manufacturer for hardwiring process.[2] Fixed the battery issue but incorrectly hardwired the camera which lead to wiring to burnout. Wired the product through the car firewall into the hood, which was incorrect. Picture of the BURNOUT attached.[3] Tried to inform the (father) of the issue and notified him that I got a second opinion regarding the wiring setup and he said you voided your warranty. Keep in mind the 2nd opinion did not change anything they completed or the issue.Attached picture include:1. Warranty on receipt2. Vehicle battery error messages3. Wiring burnout4. Dashcam battery errorPlease be careful dealing with them.

I came all the way from Temecula, because it’s so overpriced with everything! I highly recommend getting your stereo work done here! Very friendly welcoming people here, amazing prices, and they did a very great job installing a new radio on my 2012 Honda Civic! I highly recommend coming here!

I live in fallbrook and wanted to update my car stereo. I went here first, tried to keep it local. Told them I wanted a touch screen with apple play to update the original stereo in my 99 mustang gt. At first it was no problem. But, when the day came to do the install, they suddenly couldn’t change my single din to a double din. The book said it couldn’t be done. But after lots of research online I knew it could. I found the dash kit and went back and asked them if I purchased the dash kit if they could do it. They didn’t seem very eager but said they could do it with modifications and “cutting into the vehicle “. I felt like they just didn’t want to do it at that point. I went to Best Buy and got the same exact radio installed. They provided the dash kit and everything

Best accessory store Ive been too. They spend countless hours putting my subwoofers and my light kit in. They stayed past closing to ensure my car was ready to go the next day and make sure the job was done right. If you want to get window tint, lights or audio equipment this is the place you should go!

Wonderful company has been installing stereos in our family vehicles for years. After being in a band, having a quality stereo in our family vehicles was important to my husband. Thank you Fallbrook Stereo and Tint for keep us up to date with quality equipment so that we can share our love for music with our children on the road! Friendly, helpful and professional staff! We plan to return for future projects.

Dont go here they steal your money not a good place to go... and no this is not a friend of another shop... he says he’s not charging you for tax and giving you a good deal but it’s all a lie tells you he’s giving you the best and gives you the cheapest stuff he has... just sad “ ratas”

Auto tintSo disappointed. I had to take my car to Mr. Tint in Vista for removal and new tint. Steven did such a SLOPPY job. So many obvious dust particles. Left my brand new car filthy inside and out and my right door was not latched in correctly. Not sure why they would unlatch it. I could have taken it back to have them remove the tint but I did not want them to touch my car so I just paid Mr. Tint and he fixed it. Be ware! Go somewhere else.

I went there for an amp installation after buying a new amp, I thought my old amp had blown but after getting the new amp and not getting any power to it, I knew I had an accumulator problem because the capacitor next to the amp was working fine. I went there telling them the problem and told them I needed an installation which was already halfway done. I took my car home and the next day I woke to a dead battery. Wow. I took the car back and said that the install was bad and wanted to know why. The explanation I got was far from acceptable the kind given to those without car audio knowledge, what poor service. I asked for some sort of compensation on the installation and the manager laughed and told me have a good day

This place single-handedly takes the cake for the worst audio shop in socal. they took over 4 hours for something that shouldve taken 2! they used my vehicle to train their employee! they left sharp tools on my leather seats, no gloves, filthy hands and lastly, none of their enployees wear masks. no mask no mask no mask! danger! take your business to anyone else!

Buyer be ware this man gave me a quote and when I went toPick up my car he was over charging me by over two hundred dollars. I asked for a Receipt for the part that I felt he overcharged on and he refused. He threatened to put a lean on my car This store is not to be trusted. Never go there and then to top it he associated me with a political party that was not of his liking to try to insult me and tried to intimidate me

The owner of this place.... He bad talked one of the nicest people I know... Just because the owner made a mistake and was not capable of excepting it... My friend was straight forward and honest with the owner and operator but still he continued to insult and humiliate my friend that was completely innocent, only wanting his car to be working correctly.

Hello my name is A.D. Williams, retired mastered arms and when I find a great place that does great work, I dont mind posting it at all. Fallbrook Car Stereo is one of those places that I give 2 thumbs up to. I would definitely recommend this stereo shop to all my friends and family because of the great customer service I receive time and time again. If you dont believe me they have pictures of their work on Facebook. Look them up under Fallbrook Car Stereo & Installs & Tint. The cars you see them working on are not just cars but peoples dreams and put into the hands of Fallbrook Car Stereo because they trust them.Sincerely,A.D. Williams

This place completely deserves 2 thumbs up from me. Even though they may not have fancy garages and loads of space, they make up for it with their customer service. Very friendly, hard working, and small town feel at this location. One thing which was really fantastic is that they reframed and fixed the radio mount that was already installed in the car that did not fit properly. They did not add an extra labor fee cost, which probably totaled up to an extra 30 to 45 minutes worth or work. Would absolutely recommend anyone to go here who is looking for a new sound system or window tint. Not to mention, it was a super cold day and even when it started to rain they kept pushing to get the job done in a timely manner. Thanks a lot guys!

If I can help save one person from doing business with this shop then I will feel better. If youre in the market for a stereo please keep driving. In the small town of Fallbrook Im surprised a business owner can keep their door open with the kind of overpriced bad service as this shop. The 20 or so reviews before me that I obviously ignored should help.

Review №43

This is, by far, THE WORST car stereo place I have ever been to. BEWARE! They sell cheap made JUNK and call it quality. I had to take my car back multiple times and the stereo/amp/speakers kept failing. I even took my car to my mechanic for routine maintenance, and a second opinion, (he is a licensed repair shop that I have been going to for 15+ yrs) and three of his techs said the wiring job was so bad that it was seriously in danger of causing a car fire!! They had to rewire the whole thing and it cost me over $100 just for that.Car Stereo & Installs (aka - Old Town Car Stereo) have caused me massive headaches.I have been forced to go somewhere else because these uneducated clowns dont know what they are doing, and sell low quality (faulty) parts at a top price. They replaced one bad amp for another and then tried to blame it on me!I am a reasonable person who commends good things when they happen, but this has been a terrible experience. If you are looking for a car stereo shop I suggest you look elsewhere.p.s. - It did NOT surprise me when I saw all of these bad reviews on Google. This place is horrible.

Review №48

Wanted a basic stereo for my van - when I picked up the car, the sound quality was very tinny and unacceptable – none of the preset equalizers sounded any good – why would anyone sell a radio that does not sound good? ? I tried fussing with the custom sounds, but when it started sounding half decent, the speakers were all breaking up with distortion – I do not know if it was the radio, the speakers, or the doors rattling – they said it was Volkswagen’s fault for the way they made the doors and there was nothing they could do about it – so I went to Nzomnia on East Mission – they said they have heard this all before –they tuned the radio so it is somewhat passable without distortion – but they said if I had spent a little more on the radio and the speakers I could have much better sound – why was I not offered a radio that sounds decent???????? I would have gladly paid more to get an acceptable sound. I am not happy.

Disappointed. Came in looking for a head unit compatible with my Android phone for my Altima and was sold an old and most basic radio that didnt even work with my phone and the dash kit was not installed right, pretty much falling apart. Went to another car audio place down the road and they told me I was sold an old and most basic radio model for the same price of a newer 2015 radio with many more functions and compatibility. Tried to work something out with the owner of this shop but was told because of theyre no return policy I was SOL. I just wish I had looked at the reviews before taking my vehicle here. The bad reviews says it all.

Review №57

Worst experience of my life. The owner does not listen, refutes everyting you say he told you. Not authorized Pioneer Dealer, huge price gouging. Will not give a cash refund or a 30 day satisfaction guarantee as an Authorized Pioneer Dealer will. Represented himself as Authorized Pioneer Dealer, finally admitted he was not.Price Gouging: Noun 1. price gouging - pricing above the market price when no alternative retailer is availableHas anger issues and took me for a fortune, prevaricated about what the specs were on the equipment he installed and now refuses to finish the job and cover the warranty, I have reported this to Pioneer Electronics Legal Dept. and the California Dept. of Consumer Affairs.

Im 77 years old and have never given anyone a negative report before; however, our experience with Fallbrook Car Stereo and tinting has been so horrendous that I feel I must tell our friends and neighbors to be very cautious when dealing with this business. Feb.13, 2016, we took our car and RV in to have navigation systems installed and added SiriusXM equipment and antennas. The navigational system and SiriusXM on the car works; however, instead of installing the system flush with the dash, it was installed so far back in the dash that you cannot use the knobs on the radio. When I questioned them about this, I was told that it was installed correctly and thats just the way it is. On the RV, SiriusXM kept mal-functioning and only playing intermittingly. When we returned from a three week trip, I explained this to the owner, Nado, and he said all of their work had been done correctly and the problem was SiriusXM. I spoke to SiriusXM and they did testing and stated that it defiantly was the installation. When we returned from the next trip I went to Nado and explained the situation. He said even though I had reported the problem within three weeks of the installation, the warranty was no longer valid because the time period had expired. The receipt said the warranty was good for one year. Finally Nado said to bring the RV in and he would look at it. My husband took the RV to him and they said it was the antenna, so they changed it. The problem was the same, they then replaced another part, still no change. They then told my husband that the original antenna had damaged the navigational system because he had tried, on the second trip, after the problem had been reported, to extend the antenna, to no avail. When my husband said he would not purchase another unit from them, they checked something else, Gene didnt know what it was, but SUPRISE the unit worked. They then told Gene he owned them $131.28. He paid them. When he came home and told me I went to get the money refunded since the work was under warranty. Nado refused to return the money and I told him that I thought he was a dishonest business man. He started shouting and pounding on a certificate on his wall from Pastor Joel Osteen, saying I know you dont do what I do !! I give $1,500 a month to his ministry and I gave a $1,500,000 property to Saddleback Church and feed thousands of orphans, you dont do that!!! Okay. True. But I dont know what that has to do with his repair work. If you would like to speak to me regarding this transaction, you have my permission to contact me. Pat Whipps

I bought a car alarm system from Fallbrook Car Stereo. I realized after about 6 months that one of the doors was not hooked up so I went back and the owner said the door latch was broken and I needed a new one. Two mechanics looked at it and said he was wrong. At first he tried to get out of fixing it as he said I did not buy a system that included that door. I had the receipt so he backed off. His installer told him that he had explained to me that it was not hooked up before I left the installation. I wouldn’t have paid them if the installation was not complete. Fallbrook Car Stereo could not figure out how to hook up that door so they hookup up everything to the overhead doom light. The system only lasted 14 months and malfunctioned past the warranty by 2 months. The owner said on the phone he would repair it at my cost with free labor. My mechanic in town, Erics Precision Auto and I determined that the system wasnt worth putting more money into it as it was not a quality brand. I did not request a cheap system and I paid for the best available at Fallbrook Car Stereo. Although Eric Precision Auto said he would remove it for free at my next oil change, I took it back to the alarm store to have them remove it. The owner wanted $50 after saying his labor would be free. I called him on it and he laughed at me as I exited his store. I would not recommend Fallbrook Car Stereo.
