Five Star Car Stereo Clearwater — Local services in Clearwater

I had the Pioneer DMH-1500NEX installed into my 2018 Nissan Frontier Pro 4X so that I could have apple car play. The experience from the moment I stepped into their store was very professional. Paul is the one that recommended the Pioneer Head unit based on my budget. Dean and Fernando are amazing installers. I am super happy with the experience I had there, Dean was super helpful in explaining the whole Pioneer head unit I had installed. I will be going back to upgrade to some better speakers (I have the Rockford Fosgate speakers...but they are decent but I know I will want better eventually) and an amp and I am excited to have them work on my vehicle again. Top notch service!

------ Update: 4/9/2021:

A year ago Five Star Car Stereo installed a pioneer head unit in my 2018 Nissan Frontier, however I sold my Frontier too a dealer who was desperately looking for pre owned Frontiers: Few months ago with the money I made off the Frontier I purchased a 2020 Ford Ranger, it desperately needed to upgrade the speakers. Knowing that Five Star did a great job on my last truck, I went back to them to get my Ranger upgraded. Dean assisted me with creating a system within the budget I asked for....with not much out for the Ford Ranger, he came up with the Focal IC Ford 165(6.5" components for the front), and Focal IC Ford 165(coxial for the Rear), and he paired it with the Kicker Key 200.4 AMP), as always they were extremely professional and listen to me. This is my second experience with Paul and Dean and they are awesome. If you need to get your vehicle upgraded, do yourself a favor and give them a chance, they are fantastic and will do the job with precision! Dean took the time to show me everything, and took the time to just sit down and chat/listen to the new system with me. Great...

Ive been watching the youtube channel that these guys have for a while now and had no idea that they are local. I just happened to stop by their shop to pick up $10 worth of wire and the gentleman at the front desk went above and beyond answering all of my questions (and i had A LOT of questions) while treating me with respect and didnt even try to push a bunch of unnecessary products for the small project i was working on. The feeling I got was that this shop will treat you the same way regardless of if youre spending $10 or $10,000 and that means a lot to me. I have a much bigger project coming up in about a month when I am ready to trade my car in for a pickup truck and there is no doubt in my mind that I will not be diying that system like I am doing with my current system, it’s clear that this is the shop I will be working with for the much larger project. The fact that I was treated with respect and that all of my questions were answered (not to mention the fact that I have a massive amount of respect for the car audio show that they produce on their youtube page) solidifies that they will be the shop that i work with for that project and any future projects that i have done. That simple 10’min experience I had this afternoon has made me a lifelong customer. I highly recommend you get all of your car audio work and your car audio products from 5...

I cannot recommend them enough. About 3 years ago, I was looking to put a simple, no-hassle, plug & play system into my aging Lexus RX300. Paul was able to point in the direction of exactly what I needed, a Rockford Fosgate P300 that got the job done and was simple for a novice like me to install.

Fast forward to now, I did a sound-deadening install with a head unit replacement on a newly purchased 4Runner and in the process, the rear door speakers suddenly stopped working. I took it to Paul who was gracious enough to lend me a speaker and harness to plug into my back doors to eliminate the speakers themselves as an issue. While that didn't resolve the problem immediately, it pointed me in the right direction and I was able to get everything back in working order (party mode was enabled, thank you Toyota).

Very thankful for Paul's generosity inletting me use his equipment and not just immediately hitting me with a quote for labor to diagnose the problem, and how friendly he was with having the patience to decode my amateur-audio enthusiast speak as I explained the issue to him. Will absolutely be using them for more advanced installs I have planned...
