AutoSonics

I have a Chevy cargo van .and the stock radio quit working over a year ago!
So after I asked around in Novato where I live they recommended «Auto Sonics»
and boy O boy am I glad they did!
I met Neil the owner told him my problem and I got a really great deal (I feel) on an AM FM CD stereo player with built in blue tooth, and I love it!
So then of course I wanted to upgrade the stock speakers and Neil actually reccomened a pair that was less money but delivered a great quality sound!
I am so happy with Auto Sonics I’m going to get a back up cam, and Alarm and yep a sub woofer!
Look fellow Unilocalers It’s like this Neil has the best and up to date car stereo equipment his prices are very competitive and fair in deed why would anyone go anywhere else Neil knows what works and there is absolutely no BS he knows what works and he has backed up every promise!
Auto Sonics is a quality business in fact let me just mention the install guy OMG he is great at his job so much so that he fixed my dashboard and my on/​off light switch and adjusted the interior motor cover because another place screwed it up when they worked on it, and Neil did not charge me any extra he just said it is part of the way that they do there business and that why I’m on here telling all my friends and everyone on Unilocal go see Neil at Auto Sonics and get a rockin deal like I did!
Many thanks Auto Sonics, I am a lifetime customer…

I took my BMW to AutoSonics to upgrade my crappy stock speakers to Bavsound speakers and I was delighted with the entire experience. This is a very honest, hardworking, and experienced shop; very hard to come by these days. They are also reasonably priced for Marin and the owner was fun to chat with! I will definitely be returning for any and all stereo needs. Thanks guys!

I came to AutoSonics after recommendation from a trusted friend who is also in the auto accessories industry. My problem seemed simple enough: I wanted the iPod hookup in my truck to work again. It had stopped working about a month earlier, experiencing connection issues at the iPod connection point. I stopped in on a Friday afternoon and made an appointment for the following Friday. I came back in a week, left the keys with the owner, and went for a walk with my wife. Eventually we found ourselves simply waiting on the front lawn, as there is very little to do in the industrial park that is the surrounding area.
After being asked a few times whether I wanted to transmit video as well as audio, the owner informed me that my truck was done. He charged me $ 45 labor and sent me on my way. What he had done, he told me, was simply pull out the cable that was connected to the back of the head unit, which was essentially just a USB cable now. I thought it would be all good, that I could just plug in my iPod connection cable when I got home. Not so much. I tried, but it wouldn’t transmit audio. So then I thought: well maybe I just need a new Pioneer-​specific audio connection cable. So I ordered one on NewEgg. Got it, plugged it in, no dice. I placed a call to the fine gentleman at AutoSonics and he denied doing anything wrong, and didn’t even offer to have me come back in so he could make it right!
I am a mechanic in another industry. When I work on a customer’s item, I TEST it to make sure that what I did had worked. If the guy had just taken that extra little step and plugged in an iPod connection cable, he would have known that whatever he did had not worked! That’s the entire reason why I came in in the first place! To make my iPod work again! That’s the whole point! He didn’t do what I paid him to do, and then he denied it all, and didn’t offer to make it right.
Thanks, but I’ll take my business elsewhere in the future.

Neil put in some new speakers, was quick and the price was totally reasonable. He explained everything to me and even made sure I listened to them for a while before I left. Going back to buy a radio for my other car. He knows his stuff!

Had my simple OEM glovebox iPod adapter installed (labor only), waited in lobby, owner not once left his chair to check on my job and offered no comments just bill.
Turns out my OEM unit was also faulty so I had my experienced friend help me install another one… one of the 4 clips holding my dash trim was broken badly broken off as we carefully removed all dash trim. Autosonics said nothing to me about breaking the clip assuming I would never notice. They just did not seem to care about me or my job at all, totally indifferent to me and my needs, probably because I only purchased labor not new stereo.
Could not recommend this company, not very professional service.

I send all my customers to them… They will make it happen, whatever your needs are. Thanks Alfaman

Neil & Raul installed my new stereo and they even fixed a speaker that was incorrectly wired; instead of making me buy a new one… which I was about to do. YAY for saving money!
Last minute appointment on a Saturday afternoon… awesome! Very friendly staff… lovely. Decent variety of choices… great. Trustworthy advice about what will work best for MY situation… blessed.
Highly recommended ladies and gents :-)

My second time here and love it. They do a great job. No hassles and straight forward. It’s what you want from a business

AutoSonics is the best. I took my Mercedes to multiple car stereo places to install a new system and no one could figure it out because its an older model. I was referred to them by the Mercedes dealer. Mark did a great job, was super helpful and extremely knowledgable.

I have had 3 major stereo systems put in here and am 100% satisfied everytime. Super clean work and a very knowledgeable staff. They don’t sell any cheap junk. I would definitely recommend to anybody who is looking for a simple job, or a monster job. Very clean work, which matters the most to me.

Great service. The guy didn’t try to over sale me and understood exactly what I was looking for.

I bought a satellite radio in 2006 from Autosonics. Recently, the satellite radio worked only sporadically, so I brought my vehicle to Autosonics. The owner said it would only take a few minutes to fix. He disconnected the radio and connected it to the internet to reset it. The price for this repair was minimal and the customer service was great. You have to check out their new location on Digital Drive — extra spacious waiting area and great temperature control inside !

Great value and superlative customer service.

I’ve always used «Big Box» stores before for auto stereo purchases and installation, but this time I decided to go «local» and give my business to a small company. I wasn’t disappointed. The owner took the time to review how to use my new stereo. The stereo itself is rated highly and functions well and sounds great. The installation process was efficient and the inside of my car looks great. And I honestly think the price was very similar to what Big Box quoted me. Keep Novato thriving… Buy locally!

While visiting our daughter who lives in the area, we realized our radio antenna had quit working. They figured out the problem, could not get the part before we depart for home in Seattle, so they gave us the part number with good instructions on how to do the work ourselves.
Wonderful experience — highly recommend, and would definitely use again if we have audio problems on another visit to the area.

AutoSonics has been great to us.
We have had many radio/​stereos put in vehicles by them, never a problem. Always done as requested & price is good.
For the second time they were able to help me with a component for my Home XM Radio! So very happy.
Thank you AutoSonics.

Worse experience Ive ever exprienced, i went in for a double din install kit and a wire harness for a 08 Pontiac grand prix and came out with a single din and a wire harness for a 05 Chevy Equnoix… When I called him about he said it was my problem for not noticing it and HUNG UP ON ME!!! I will never return and adive you people the same!!! Plus the are over priced!!!

I don’t know about these peoples experience at Auto Sonics, but, I brought my Mercedes in to them after another place installed a stereo so badly it wouldn’t play and I was smelling smoke, not only that but the sound was horrible when it did cut on.
Auto Sonics fixed the problem inexpensively and made the system sound fantastic (with only my stock speakers). Also the first place told me one of the speakers was busted and had disconnected it. Auto Sonics found that it worked fine, it just needed to be remounted so I got all 4 speakers working again…
I went back to them a month later to install an amplifier and a box and 2 tens. They did it for only $ 168 (when other places were saying over 200). And the sound is fantastic.
I have been to some sleezy places to have stereo systens unstalled… This place is honest, skilled, and inexpensive.

Wow i guess i am lucky because i have had no probs. I got an inexpensive fix on my car where others told me it would be at least $ 150 just to look at it. Then we go on from there. Just what i needed and am very happy with my deck and the service Neil provided.

Got the job done for an okay price. The owner is a bit rough around the edges but he is straight forward. He knows his stuff and will do what it takes to get the job done.
I had him install a Pioneer AVIC x710bt navigation system in my brand new CRV. I found it on amazon for 300 dollars cheaper than what he was selling it for, which he didn’t seem to happy about but did the work anyways.
Customer Service and Quality of the installation were not the greatest but he is the best in Novato so I will come back.
