This review is long overdue due to the fact that I've been a satisfied customer of Safe and Sound for about 10 years now. I want to say that Safe and Sound is THE place to go for anything from car audio to security as they provide you with the latest in mobile electronics and security with the knowledge and professionalism that you would come to expect from a well established business. When it comes to the customer, Steve knows how to satisfy his or her needs while also taking in consideration their budget. Mobile electronics and services can get a bit expensive in general depending on a person's needs and taste, which should be of no surprise, but Steve will never try and oversell products or services nor will he ever try and force you out of your comfort level of spending. Honesty is the best policy and Safe and Sound is as straightforward with their customers as can be which is commendable especially in the market of mobile electronics.
As a person who has had equipment such as audio systems, LED headlights, alarms, and remote starters installed in previous and current vehicles, I can attest to Safe and Sound's superb quality of work. Over the years, I have seen them successfully complete all types of jobs with many different vehicles from Corvettes to Jeeps, most of which requires different products and installation methods per vehicle to complete. If you hear the name Rafael and installation in the same sentence in regards to your vehicle, you can rest assured that your vehicle will be in great hands. Rafael is very delicate and professional when it comes to installation jobs, which includes the process of disassembling and reassembling vehicles. Also, it is amazing how much on-hand knowledge he has when dealing with vehicles and products where others would need a manual in their back pockets to quickly refer to.
I would suggest for anyone looking for a reliable place for mobile electronic upgrades in the Chicago area to visit Safe and Sound. While you are there, also inquire about their appointment scheduling and warranty coverage as they will be glad to explain to you how your time is valued and how your vehicle investments will...
Read moreHello Car Audio world!! I wouldn't be wasting my time writing this if these guys didn't know what they're doin'!!! I was originally going to let J & J Electronics install my system for me but, the reviews that both 74th & 63rd st. had turned me completely off to wanting to spend my money with them. Simply put: BAD REVIEWS! I've passed 317 w. 79th for years not knowing how good these guys really are. I drive a VERY CLEAN 1992 Chrysler New Yorker Salon. THE CLEANEST IN CHICAGO if not the world. Not even 40,000 miles yet, garage kept & my great-grandmother was the only and orignal owner before she died in 2010. Saying all that to say, I needed some music. I went an entire year without music. I even tried to put a home subwoofer in the trunk just to vibe to my ride. Didn't cut it! DON'T GET ME WRONG THOUGH! It sounded good, just not loud enough. So, I came up on a little money and decided to check these professionals out. GREAT CHOICE!!!!!!! I'm running 3 12 inch Pioneers Champions on a Brutus 1100 watt amp, Pioneer head unit and coaxials. And I just purchased a Yellow Top Optima battery. They did a REALLY CLEAN & PROFESSIONAL JOB FOR ME. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU CHECK THESE GUYS OUT. They're fast and VERY HONEST. I got a 1 ohm load and I've hit @ least 10 Hz without the bass knob up. 317 w. 79st. You'll be pleased, I GUARANTEE IT - George Foreman...
Read moreMy man at Safe & Sound hooked it up for real. My car is pretty old and has definitely seen better days. It didn't have any kind of power to the radio piece for the better part of a year. Driving was pretty miserable - no music, no handsfree, no nothing. I thought it was a wiring issue. Took it here on a family member's recommendation and was not disappointed.
Steve looked at it and came back a few minutes later, said the radio piece was just plain dead but all the wiring hookups were good. I drove up the street to Walmart, bought a (slightly) better radio, brought it back and he put it in hella fast. I don't think we spent more than 35 minutes altogether in the waiting area.
Unfortunately, sound systems are scarce at this point in time - not just here, but everywhere due to supply chain issues. He does great work here, though. Make no mistake. Bring in every vehicle you have here and you will get top-notch installation + setup...
