Got quotes from a national and then a big regional outfit and was quoted $1200 and then $1300 to get a decent head unit/stereo to replace the unreliable stock unit in my car. Frustrating because I was imagining $600 to $800 tops, bottom line with parts and installation and after those quotes I figured I was being naive after being quoted almost twice the amount I was willing to spend. Last ditch effort was to find a small, local owned outfit and see if it was just going to be that expensive to do what I needed to get done. Found Elite Auto and it wasn't too far from my area. Walked out with a scheduled install with a set-up not any different from the two other places I visited and all for $800! The guy was very insightful and helpful making the decisions about what product to use as well as some future purchases I plan on making (and I will definitely be returning for those). The only negative is that he is a one man show, so I had to schedule out a couple weeks, but I can deal with frustration of my current stereo for a while longer to save hundreds of dollars. Great experience....

No upselling, no BS, Erich is the kind of man I feel totally comfortable with spending our money on a system that I'll be happy with! I'll update this once it has...
Read moreJust got an aftermarket stereo with Android Auto and Apple Carplay installed and this was some of the best customer service I have had in a while! I went in a week ago to look at options and the owner was so helpful in picking out a stereo that will work for my car and my needs! If you're looking into upgrading your car's sound system, then your search is over! It is tricky getting to if you're coming from Portland because of how HWY 26 splits into two roads in Downtown Sandy. You can take a left at the Shell Station and it will let you cut straight across...
