  3. My First Car
    I just got aa Audi A5 from my parents and I was immediately looking around to trick it out. As I walked into the store I asked for the prices for a window tint, ipod adapter to play through my car sound system, and 19" black and chrome lip Giovanni rims. The price he gave me shocked me for how reasonable it was. He installed everything same day with quality. NO bubbles in the window tint and clea...

  4. No Headset Required. Got my handsfree kit.
    I just can't stand those bluetooth earpieces, looks like a growth coming out of my ear and don'[t like the look. I got a handsfree kit and it does the job real nice. Whats real cool is that it cuts my music when a call comes in and I don't have to deal with the hassles of working with an earpiece. If I had to, I'd do it all over again.

  5. Excellent Job on a window tint.
    Santa Monica Car sound did an excellent job on my window tint. Not only did they do an excellent job, they were pretty fast- it only took a few hours. BTW I advise you to look around and you will find out that have the lowest price on tint on the west side.

  6. Lowest Price Window tints
    I was looking for the lowest prices for window tinting and shopped around all the independent stores and the major shops. I used google, phone calls, friends and all the internet sites. Santa Monica car sound had the lowest prices and quickest turnaround. They got the job done and I was out on the road within 2 hrs. Save yourself some time and take my word of advice. Go there since I did all t...

  7. Bluetooth installed. Good Experience
    I needed to get a bluetooth kit and they sold me one that was compatible with my blackberry at a really good price. They hardwired a parrot into my BMW and I am quite happy with the installation and the features. Since it was capable of duplicating some of my phone features through the hardware. The install was quick and it was mounted correctly. I'd give them a grade A.

  8. Overpriced
    Of course it is on the westside, but their prices are ridiculous. Shop around. You are bound to get a better deal with equally good service.

  9. A good place to know if you need gadgets installed in your car.
    I'm always buying the latest gadgets especially from Apple. I have the jesusphone (iphone) and needed to use in my Toyota Prius. The bluetooth really is bad for the prius so i figured to go with an aftermarket unit. I also got a nice cradle to pop my iphone and pow! I am cruisin, The car sound dude helped me throughout the whole process.. .he was pretty cool and I would do it again if I had to

  10. My Kids are happy
    Looked all online for a kenwood overheadhead monitor. Found it a little lower price online, but I decided to go with them because I like to see the people I buy from face ot face in case something goes wrong. They installed it in the morning and I picked it up during my lunch break. The kids love it since now the trips are fun since they have their Spongebob DVDS.

  11. Santa Car sound was very good to me.
    I live in Santa monica and looked online for a reputable dealer who was close by. Came to find these guys listed on citysearch and decided to give them a try since the ratings were pretty good. my stereo was on the fritz and found out that the dealer unit was going to be twice as much witfh less features. I said screw that and went with SM car sound. they had a special going on for a stereo unit ...

  12. Got my ipod Connected
    I was sick of using my ipod with the stupid cassette tape connection so I finally bit the bullet and got the direct connection to my car. They installed it within 2-3 hours and now I can listen without the hassle.

  13. No Hassle Installation.
    My cd player stopped working and I called these guys up to fix it. I brought it in and they recommended that the repairs would cost more than buying a new unit which seems to be the case for all new electcronics these days. They had a Sony Xplod for $69.00 plus installation and it had the audio jack built it so I can connect it to my iphone and ipods. The install took about 2 hours and I picked i...

  14. Great Guys! Good Service.
    I was hesitant in going to Santa Monica Car Sound after reading some of the previous reviews but found out it was just their local rivals posting fake reviews to make them look bad. Al & Eds were good and some of their prices could be lower but they were fine for a chain store. But I decided to shop around Santa Monica car sound have been in business for over 20 years and are not going anywhe...

  15. My Experience with Santa Monica Car Sound
    My boyfriend went to Santa monica Car Sound to have a car stereo, amps and speakers installed. They did lousy work and my boyfriends' car electrical system was all messed up from their faulty wiring. They refused to fix the problem and said it would cost more money because his truck was the problem(not true) He paid them again to fix the problem and things still did not work When he went back aga...

  16. The Guy is Full of it and overpriced!
    Buyer Beware! These guys tried to sell me a "state of the art" alarm system when in fact it was an older model at a premium price. I later discovered there was a newer version with more features that was out and it was even cheaper than the older version. Can you believe this guy?Luckily I did my research on the web and found other shops that had the new version and at a really good price. Do you...

  17. The best stereo shop
    Freddie pimped my ride just thy way I wanted. They tinted my car as well as installing my ipod hardwired which I can control my ipod through my navigation. I'm overwhelmed at how quickly they manage to get everything done with their flabbergasting prices. They're are the lowest prices in Santa Monica. Freddie has tremendous service and I very highly recommend Santa Monica Car Sound for anyone who...

  18. Best Car Stereo and Tint place in Los Angeles
    I dealt with all the other places in Los Angeles and have never been as satisfied with them as I have with Santa Monica car sound. They are simply the best. trust me... shop around. They had a great deall on a Sony xplod car stereo that was ipod ready for only $69.00. All the other places prices were too high and they installed the head unit and tinted my windows in a matter of hours. I can hon...

  19. Best Shop For I-Pod Hookup and Tint.
    I shopped all over town to find the best deal and quality work for my new A4, and I'm certain I found both at Santa Monica Car Sound. Trust me, I inquired at EVERY store on the West Side and beyond, and Freddy gave me BY FAR the best deal. It's also not a case of "you get what you pay for," because the work they did was flawless - not to mention guaranteed. I was almost hesitant to do the work t...

  20. Customized, clean installs
    One of the reasons I love LA so much is because of its diversity in business; the mom and pop shops thrill me. So, when looking around for a good place to have an alarm installed on my car, naturally I was drawn to Santa Monica Car Sound. After first visiting Startronics, a place that couldn't offer me the customized job I wanted, I was glad to hear that SMCS could meet my needs at a favorable ...

  21. You Can Trust These Guys
    I was tired of going to places that try to rip you and never deliver on their promises so I scrutinize every place by reading reviews online. fortunately they pulled through and delivered on every promise and more. They did a little extra work and didn?t charge me. How cool is that? It seems that they go that extra mile just to make sure things are done correctly.

  22. Best car audio Place in LA!
    I was looking for new set of speakers to replace my old blown out ones. I talked to Freddie and he was very knowledgeable and made a recommendation. So asked him how long will it take and he said he would do it right then and there. After about 30 minutes he they were done. Simply Amazing! I could not get that type of service if I went to Worst Buy or anywhere else.

  23. Alarmingly good install
    Had a viper alarm installed and I noticed that they paid attention to the detail and made it look like a factory job. If there were a rating system I would give them a 10.

  27. Santa Monica car sound gets my approval
    What can I say. Thanks Freddie. Had the works from them which included a new sound system to replace the stock stereo in my black scion. I even had some optima batteries and an isolator since I'm pumping the watts. They did the complete wiring and now I can run my system at full power without draining my main battery.

  28. My Ipod/Iphone works with my car stereo!
    Just wanted to thank the guys at Santa Monica Car sound for being cool and hooking me up with a new Sony stereo that works with my ipod and iphone. Got a nice cradle/dock to fit snugly with the car. I can listen to my own tunes commercial free. They were really helpful and the prices were pretty good.Hmmm... I wonder if I can fit my 50 inch Plasma screen and xbox 360in my Hummer....

  29. TOTALLY AWESOME!!
    This place is GREAT! They have tons of items to PIMP out your ride. I have been here several time and I recommend it to all my colleagues and friends with nice whips. They are Santa Monica's local car shop. I don't go to big corporate owned places because you just turn out to be a number in the crowd and the service is not great. At this place they have true professionals and the owner FREDDIE ...
