I was recently in the market to upgrade my audio and stumbled upon Automotive Concepts while reading local reviews. I actually live pretty far from this location but I'd rather support a family owned business over the larger corporate chains any day so I drove over to see what they had to offer.
Immediately upon walking in, Cal stopped the work he was doing in the garage to come up and see what he could do for me. Right from the beginning I could tell that this was going to be a great experience. I told Cal I was looking to get a quote for some subs, an amp and installation. What I had initially thought was just going to be a grueling 10 minute sales pitch completely unrelated to what I wanted turned out to be exactly the opposite. Cal listened to the requests that I had and he very quickly came up with two initial set ups that he knew would match what I wanted. Now on this particular day, I was being extremely difficult and kept trying to find something wrong with his suggestions which meant that he and Sam then had to basically run me through their entire inventory and at that point I understood that they knew what I wanted/needed more than I did. Even though I was not being easy to work with, neither one of them stopped smiling for a second and the whole time they were eager to answer my neverending questions.
By the end of what seemed like over an hour of me being indecisive, I chose to go with Cal's initial recommendation. At that point we scheduled the installation for a couple days later and I was good to go.. By the time I got home, I started to doubt that the amp they suggested was going to have enough power for the two 12" subs we chose... I emailed Cal and let him know my concern and within minutes he assured me that we would assess this together when I came in for the installation.
When I came back for the install, Cal and Sam immediately pulled my car into their garage and started working on it. In just a few short hours, everything was done and it was time for me to see what they had accomplished. As soon as I walked into the garage and started to look at the work they had done, I could tell that they weren't just professionals, they treated this like an art. Every possible detail was about as perfect as I had ever seen and I doubt that anyone would be able to notice that aftermarket work was done to it. It was just that pristeen! The best part of course was when the music started playing and I realized just how wrong I was for ever doubting their expertise. The bass was impeccable, much louder than I anticipated, but overall just clean. Clean sound, clean appearance, clean delivery. It doesn't get any better than this, I...

Kal and Sam are the best 2 guys I know, From this store I’ve personally added this list of items to my 2012 Challenger over the course of 3 years: Remote starter Fog Lights, then switched over to 4K lights for the full vehicle 4K bright reverse lights Front lip spoiler Mud flaps New Wheels, and almost 3 sets of tires (best prices around, better then even those tire stores) Tints, twice (once at 20% then I personally chose to make them darker and did them again at 5%) Custom Door Sills Front grill custom Boogie Lights Interior Blue LED floor lighting White Racing Stripes New Radio and Sub All weather Floor Mats for the full vehicle Chrome gas and brake pedal kit Spoiler Interior roof lighting switched to Blue led lights Dent removal Calipers colored
I won’t lie to you, sometimes small mistakes happen, given after everything I’ve done something is bound to break or not work. But the best part is I call the same day or next day and they fix the problem and it never happens again! Being able to install stuff is One thing, but being able to identify a problem and realize why something is going wrong and fix it is a whole new level of smart installers and that’s what makes these guys unique. I will give these gentleman my business any day of the week and just wish you guys can actually see the amount of work they put in. I’ve sent numerous family Members in to get remote starters, wheels, Audio, or even their Harley bikes done and they’ve all left happy! I never leave places reviews but I went out...
Read moreBrought in my 2013 Nissan to have a new head unit upgrade i had purchased installed along with front and back Hertz speakers and an amplifier I purchased from Automotive Concepts installed, first of all, I would like to thank the guy for installing my parts I purchased elsewhere some places won't do this at all and i must add he was a pretty nice guy very friendly.
after further inspection of the install, Automotive Concepts did a great job installing all of my new equipment very clean install and i honestly couldn't be happier with the sound of the system
I recently had radiation therapy for cancer treatment and lost some of my hearing from the radiation and my old stereo was an aftermarket JVC head unit not a bad radio but with the stock speakers I just wasn't able to hear it good unless I had it turned nearly all the way up and it didn't sound too good now with the Hertz speakers recommended by Automotive Concepts my music is crystal clear the quality of these speakers amazing.
I look forward to having my alarm, subwoofers and a few other things installed by Automotive Concepts in the near future and I will definitely recommend them to any friend or family member looking for high-quality car audio equipment and a competent installer with...
