Mobile Audio & Alarm

This place is horrible. The guy behind the front desk is terribly rude and the work is shoddy, at best. Low prices don’t mean squat if your remote start doesn’t work. Save your time and money and go to a reputable place to get any car work done.

Pretty darn rude customer service at the front desk but the good behind the scenes are much better. I had a remote start put into my car and it stopped working after one season. Never again.

Amazing price and great work on my 2013 ford! Works every-​time and I will be back for my other car.
Easy location with ample Parking available. Even completed the job while I waited. Who could ask for more.

Great prices, awesome staff. Just know what your buying and what it includes. Close to home, they do a good job and are fast

I would give this shithole 0 stars if that was an option. Owner never around lady that works in the front has 0 people skills. This place is by far the worst rip off I’ve ever been to. I believe the only reason they’re still in business is because somebody doesnt read the review before they go in and get the car alarm done. I can’t imagine the return clientele is very high.
P.S.
All of Paul R’s reviews are 5 stars… just a coincidence?

I have installed my car alarms here and I never had a problem. If I ever had to service it, they would take care of it for free. I also had 2 different car stereos installed and they were always done properly.

Do not come here … 1 star is more then this place deserves… the crippled guy is rude mean and inconsiderate… i see the same people always here first thing in the morning trying to get there alarms and remote starters fixed … its freezing cold in here and seats are uncomfortable… i think there products are junk (alarms speakers amps) i was forced to come here for a smart start install and ive had to come back 3 times already because this crippled dude always fixes other peoples alarms and puts me to the last of the line, my guess would be because hes not making to much profit of the 89.99 monthly fee of the smart start … i am so confused on how this guy even has buisness… i kno after my first alarm from him i promised myself i would never come back here.

First off, go somewhere else. I had an alarm put in and there was a problem, brought it back and they made a temporary correction. I brought it back again so we’ll see what happens. The customer service is garbage and the guy who works behind the counter is rude. There are 5 dozen other places to choose from. How this place stays in business is beyond me.

DO NOT go here! I don’t care how cheap it is! I went in for an alarm on my car as soon as it was done I see all kinds of lights on my dash. Check power steering, abs, and vsa light on. Keep in mind my car has less than 20k miles on it n never had a light or a problem with it prior to then installing this alarm. Turns out they wired it wrong n burned out my abs module. Huge expenses! Huge nightmare! Run!!!

This is just an update. Mobile Audio & Alarm did not respond to the complaint I filed with the BBB. There is also an issue with their business name. BBB lists them under the name of Six Corners Mobile Audio & Alarm. The State of IL shows that Mobile Audio & Alarm, Inc. was dissolved in 1995! Are they registered under different name or operating illegally? It is getting more and more interesting.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE!!! I brought two of my vehicles here and both of them had issues on what they have done. I would give this place negative stars if I could. For my newest vehicle I had HIDS (high definition headlights) installed onto my Sonata And they completely removed the system and created there own wiring system and long story short, my whole system fried and I have to pay for a brand new head light assembly. NEXT the remote start the installed messed up my starter due to how it was installed. Same issue with my previous vehicle as well! They just take your money and don’t care what they do to it! Just save your car’s life and don’t take it here.

If I can give this place negative stars I would. This place is terrible. I has a remote start and alarm installed on my car and it drained my battery because they installed it wrong. I took it back twice but each time the wait time was going to be 4 hours or more. These people are crooks. They didn’t install the bypass for the autolights and this drained my battery. I had to pay 220 to get this fixed. The place showed me Pics and these guys did really sloppy and unprofessional work. Stay away if you want to avoid crappy work.

Before I read these comments on Unilocal,I called Mobile Audio. See, I bought a 7″ screen stereo for my car and needed a special dash kit to install it. I searched the web and one of the responses was Mobile Audio. I called and spoke to a guy there, He had this «Oh Well» attitude. He did not sound like if he cared to have me as a customer. I told him that due to the size of my new stereo, the dash kit may neede to be modified a bitl His response was: «Thats ok, it probably won’t look pretty but we’ll get it in there». My car is only 1 year old. It Won’t look pretty isnt acceptable for me. The price he quoted me for the install was great, but I could not bring myself to visit them considering the conversation I had with this man. After calling Mobile Audio, I read the comments on Unilocal and I must say, I’m very happy that I did not visit Mobile Audio. Everything that I read on Unilocal seems to be accurate per my conversation with Mobile Audio. You just don’t treat customers or potential customers with that attitude.
Looks like I had a near miss. Thanks Unilocal

Beware of these Cheaters… Capable of doing the worst, beyond your imagination.
Had a 4 channel amp and 2 sets of speakers installed in my car. Did such a crappy job that I had never expected. After a while found out that my crossovers and tweeters were missing from my focal K2P set that gave them to install. Just used factory wiring instead of new wiring from amp. In other words he just kept it there so that I can see everything but never did the internal wiring and connected them. If I had my receipt will drag them to court. Went back to ask what they did to my car. Said he has to find receipt and been doing this for the last 3 months. Such a reckless buggers. Never go to these people, they are F– — - — - G Hardcore cheaters. Had fixed my car stereo at some other guy did an awesome job, I have spent few hours sitting in my car trying different music.

Very affordable prices, but some of the worst customer service ever. Expect an extra hour or two wait on top of whatever they tell you. The elderly man at the front desk, George, is super grumpy and only nice if you speak his native language. The woman is no help either, she just sits there and plays with her iPhone. They only update you on the status of your car if you ask them, otherwise they just walk past and ignore you. Bottom line, come here for decent prices but only if you have a whole day to kill.

Run!
i got a 7inch radio installed here. after paying 575.00 the radio keeps resetting itself, all my settings are erased, put it on reverse and the camera doesn’t connect. took the car back and supposely it was fixed (after a 3 hour wait), guess what happened the next day. NOTHING! took it back again, and they said they were short handed. Does this guy think gas is free?

I had a remote start put in her car one birthday many years ago. She liked it so much that she gave me one that Christmas. We’ve gotten new cars, & a remote start was the first accessory that we added. It’s so nice to go out into a warm car, & if you can remember to leave the defrost on, you never have to scrape (chisel) ice off your windshield. Oh & by the way, mobile audio installed them for us.
It became necessary to have an alarm put on my van, & took it back to Mobile Audio. They did a fine job, for a great price, however…
«about an hour» was really closer to 3. That’s the knock here. Don’t go if you have anything else you’ll need your car for that day. The waiting area is spartan, the chairs are upholstered in duck tape, & it always takes at least twice as long as advertised. Let them know you’re not happy about that, & as one reviewer said, that gets you to the back of the line.
Bottom line = quality products that are installed well for a great price but they are not considerate of your time.

Recently a friend of mine had her tires stolen off her car. The area was well lit but that doesn’t seem to stop thieves anymore. Thank god insurance took care of it but it was decided to do more as far as security. After getting wheel lug nut locks (which are brilliant!!) from the dealership we thought it best to get an alarm too.
They normally can cost a fortune but lucky for me I remembered a place by my old hood. Being a really nice guy I took her car there myself. Honestly I don’t know what to say about the place. It’s a little shady as far as looks and some clientele, but the techs do a get job and it’s really affordable. The owner/​front office guy is a bit rough around the edges and might move back your car if you give him any crap. I personally didn’t have any problems in the 5 hours I waited there but a few people got into arguments with the owner and a few «gang members» got into it with other «gang members» (I’m guessing on the «gang members»). It was all very excited.
Bottom line is that they’re cheap but do good work. Some tips… Get there as early as possible or you’ll wait all day and keep your cool.

This place «Rocks» they know what they are doing here folks! I wanted to be able to listen to my iPod/​iPhone in my Ford Explorer. I called Armando and Showtime and was quoted $ 375.00-$ 450.00 and 3 – 4 hours of my time. Walked into Mobile Auto & Alarm, and drove out with an accessory that did everything I wanted 1 hour later for $ 158.00. (WTF)!
Awesome, the place is not a Place but I don’t need that, all I want is the job done right for a fair price and here it is!

After going to the big names such as Abt Electronics and Best Buy as well as the private businesses such as Armando Sound and Showtime Audio, I was left with a bill well over $ 700 for a 2 way paging alarm install with remote start and motion sensor for my car. This was about $ 300 over my price range. Low and behold, I returned to the trusted people at Mobile Audio and Alarm. They’ve been around for years and are very reputable. They’ve always advertised in the local papers and provide great service.
With all the other places, they required a minimum of 5 hours for the install. This place had me in and out within 3. There is also a lifetime guarantee on the parts as well as the labor. Can’t say the same for the other places. Though this place may not look as fancy as the other places I mentioned nor do they look as skilled, don’t let that deceive you. They are as good as it gets when it comes to installing an alarm.
