Chavez Electronics — Attraction in Gilroy

I'm kinda disappointed in this store. I'm old school. Grew up as a bass head. I know what it takes to get clean sound. The new stuff blows my mind. And when you walk into a retail store, you are here to compare with other places. When there's nothing on display to play with, it's disappointing. You come in for an experience and leave with more choices that could make you sad or happy. But when you have nothing to test and look at, you might as well go online and shop.

It's sad to know this is the new trend. Back in the days, you used to be able to push a button on a wall and select a head unit. Then, pick a midrange or component. Then, push another button to choose an amp. Then, finally, you get a subwoofer to compete the setup.

Now, if you're lucky, you get a box to look at. That's if they have it. Nothing was powered up. A few head units on the shelf out of the box to look at on one side.

Maybe I'm being tough, but this is my review. 3 out of 5 for the whole experience. I'm might be closer to a 4, but I...

April 27th 2023 The prices are Terrible , I went to him as I called first (I live an hour or so away ) told him what I needed / wanted . He told me he could install &&’ finish the same day so I went , he said it’d take an hour at max . I spent almost 3 hours waiting for my car with my 1 almost 2 year old . But not even 15 minutes into the installment he stops to go eat &&’ has his son work on it , which is no problem but after that his son waited 35 -40 mins for him to finish eating then he went to finish . My cars back camera doesn’t work now as he said suddenly he didn’t have my part &&’ I’d have to wait for it to come in . Not only was that frustrating but he broke a styrofoam of coffee in my car &&’ claimed that wasn’t already there &&’ left me with a mess to clean That was April 27th .. till this day June 21st I did not receive any notification/ call or email that my part was in he tried to offer me to pay to have a “better one “ installed , I text him June 21st for an update &&’ he said it’s been in for weeks ? Mind you my service has been paid for , Close it...

What can I say this man has help me gotten some better speaker and got a system when I messed up didn’t know I needed connection to the adapters to the amplifier but he help me solve the issues. The speakers I got from him are way better than the ones I purchase from Modesto audio pros sorry but not sorry they ruined my car but Chavez electronics made sure my car was done professionally. I would highly recommend anybody to go get there badass system because screw those who say it’s overpriced. Tbh it’s not he work with you as long as you can work with him. Very nice work staff kind professional. Will soon return to this place to get more speakers 🔊! Thank...
