I stopped by Automotive Audio to get my car speakers replaced after Hollywood Sounds blew off my appointment and told me to come back another day. I was given an estimate that was cheaper than their competitor, followed by a polite handshake after agreeing to the deal. I was given an appointment for the following morning, and they allowed me to wait as they originally promised. In just over one hour, my new speakers were installed and working properly. The car radio had a bad output jack in the rear, but the shop worked around that and got all the speakers working anyway. Ill be going back next time I need work done.
Clayton has been wiring cars long before the other guys even knew what a stereo shop was. He runs a very well organized shop with employees who have been well trained by the manufacturer. I will continue to refer my customers to Automotive Audio.
I was just in the car with a family member driving to an appointment that clay told us to come to and I arrived at the scheduled time and the shop was closed. Clay picked up the phone and was so rude , screaming CLOSED IM CLOSED with a very bad attitude and vulgarity. I was going to schedule my car after I checked out the shop but now he can take a walk HOW RUDE , you made a mistake and took it out on my family member
I absolutely hate this place. There wiring work is a sloppy mess, its like they never heard of wire fastening. They just leave wires dangling where they lye. Last year they worked on my old plow truck, they called the main boss everything was done, than called another employee to ask if they could do more work on it after getting told no. In my opinion its a sneaky shady business just trying to get one over on everyone who walks in. Every product inside is over priced. Lets end this off by saying the entire staff is uninformed asshats, who would be better suited doing quick lubes at a jiffy lube. You want the job done right the first time, find another place.
Needed a wire (provided by me) to be put from the engine area to the inside of the car. The job took about 60 seconds and they charged me $25. Total ripoff. Avoid if necessary, browse carefully the marketplace before making a purchase at this facility.
Clayton and the rest of the crew over at Automotive Audio are truly some of the best in the area as far as electronic installations go. Theyre very honest and do good work done right. Highly recommended
I love my new radio and remote starter! I have been going there for my electronics since they opened! Clayton and his team are professional and do an excellent job! Highly recommend this company!
The wiring was good, he installed the stero for cheap, even tuned the audio levels for me.they were friendly and even stayed open late when he was suppose to be close 15m prior and didnt even mention it. The stero installer was knowledgeable, curtious and even when the job was turning more into a hassel then it seemed. He buggered on anyway and kept trying untill the job was done right. Great shop despite what anyone says.
Ordered a new plow last week. Was told it was there that day. Went to pick it up an hour away. Apl of a sudden Plow wasnt there. They said they needed till Wednesday. Called today( wed.) for pickup. Again said it wasnt ready. Im trying to make a 8k purchase with these guys but they cant seem to help themselves. They do not do what they say are going to do. I was lied to numerous times, now they want to steal my deposit. Watch out for these guys .
Was trying to find a place that would install a light bar and found them . They gave me a good price and they were very professional and informative . Also very knowledgeable and refers other local businesses that have good prices and they are helpful with my equipment as you can see in pictures
These guys were super friendly. I went in looking for a random electrical conector I couldnt find anywhere else... They searched the whole shop looking for me and they really didnt have to. Cudos if I ever needed audio or plow install def look here,
Reading through these reviews I see the two negative ones are are obviously bogus and poorly written. Ive been doing business here for 20 yrs. and they always have done an excellent job. Ive referred many people to them and everyone has been satisfied.
Clay and team are very professional and work has always been factory standards or better. Would highly recommend for all your aftermarket needs.
Clay and Stan are great to deal with. Very knowledgeable and accommodating. Quality work and good prices.
Great place very humble gentleman who took care of an install that needed to be corrected klyde is also affordable
Great service. My plow died in the middle of a job and they took me right in and got it back up and running fast and at a reasonable price
HONEST and fair prices... This is NOT a bait and switch place. OUTSTANDING workmanship.
Great place for all your Auto Audio needs. Excellent, friendly service.
Awesome place they are really knowledgeable on what they’re doing fix my problem quick
Assholes!worst place ever.rude, change your appointment times without even asking.not to mention his language is inappropriate.
They went above and beyond to meet my expectations. Thanks Clayton!

2021-12-20Clay and his crew are great. Had some unexpected issues and they handled them with no problem. Clay even gave me a light for free that I didnt know I needed. He said he didnt want me to have any problems.

2021-07-21I brought in a new antenna to be put in to Automotive Audio. It was installed incorrectly. The magnetic device was adhered to the cab with double sided tape breaking an audio connection. Apparently it was too difficult to place the antenna correctly in the back of the automobile, it was placed in the front instead. This made its relationship to satellite radio inoperable. So after having only having no antenna working as a result, I went to another audio place. Found out it was completely installed a wrong. Cost me double the price in the end.

2020-05-29I was in the market for a subwoofer and after being given an outrageous quote by a competitor, I went to see Clay. He was very professional from the beginning and had the answers to all of my questions. He had given me a very reasonable quote and got the job done promptly. I was very satisfied with the work and will definitely be returning to for any of my car needs.

2018-11-03Clay did the install of my fisher minute mount push plates for my plow and wired my isolation module 3 plug and solenoid. The install came with a high quality controller that is much better than my last one.If you need fisher products or installs, come here. Priced reasonably based on comparison, and honest by the book installs. CLEAN, PROFESSIONAL, AND HIGH QUALITY. Highly Recommended. 5 Star ServiceAnd for what its worth clay gave me advice last season and didnt even charge me as they were busy. Great guy.

2020-04-06Spoke to the owner (Clay) on the phone one week ago for audio install. He explained to me that he is technically closed but will give me an appointment today at 930am. I called him this morning at 9:30 in his parking lot and he answered in a very unprofessional manner hot tempered manner. I asked him why he didn’t have the consideration to inform me he was not coming into the shop. I drove from an hour away. He continued to be very short and rude yelling he’s closed. This is what was explained to me but made an appointment with me anyway. I would not recommend this business to anyone just based on this mans temper.

2015-10-292011 I purchased a Jeep Compass, I went to Automotive Audio for a remote starter, they installed it and away I went, my husband purchased a plow from them, my sister had a remote starter put in her car with no problems.In June 2014 I had errands to run and while I was at my bank in Middletown with my 12 year old nephew, my brakes became very hard and the pedal dropped to the floor, I was able to move out of the drive in and I tried to head home to Montgomery, I got onto Rte. 211 and proceeded but my car would not go over 20 mph so I immediately pulled over into the Mobil station, I popped my hood and got out to open the hood and it was so hot I could not touch it, at that point I called for roadside assistance and then called the car dealer to let them know that the car was going to be brought in on a flat bed.The next day the car dealer calls me they looked over the entire car and found nothing wrong with the vehicle except that the remote starter that was installed broke off the floor board and triggered my brake switch which locked my brakes up, so when I went to pick my vehicle up I had the mechanic come out to my car and I took a video of him explaining what went wrong with the vehicle, they indicated to me that I was lucky that my car did not catch on fire.With that being said I immediately called Automotive Audio and spoke with Clay to inform him of what had happened and he said it was impossible, that someone must of tampered with it, I told him absolutely not, I drive the car everyday and never has anyone ever tampered with it, my understanding is that most of these units go into the steering column not on the floor board, I proceeded to tell him that is was poor installation and they need to make good on this and they refused to, after telling them I was going to take them to court, they agreed to put a new unit in. After a few weeks I decided to trade the vehicle in for a 2014 Jeep Cherokee, I immediately called Clay and told him that I was trading the vehicle in and he had agreed to put the new unit in to my new car, when it came time to do this the manufacturer they use has not tested the unit on this particular vehicle, this has been going on now for 1 1/2 years and still no remote starter in my car, then my sisters key ring starter died and we could not open up the unit to change the battery, I drove out to the store and spoke w/Clay and asked him to if he can please open the unit so WE can change the batteries in it, he wanted me to leave it with him and come back at 4:00, I told him that I was unable to do that, he got very nasty with me, started throwing things around his garage, I again asked him its just to open up the key remote, he said Im busy I cant, your going to have to leave it.After much stress from Clay, I told him that I would never refer anyone to them again, I proceeded to tell him that I wanted a refund on my remote starter and he told me absolutely not!!!! At that point I indicated to him that I will be taking them to court and left.Two days later, I received a phone call from Clay asking me If I would accept 1/2 payment of $150, after I thought about I accepted the offer just so I dont have to deal with them again. Today 10/29/2015 I had a remote starter put into my car from a different place with no problems at all.All I can say is Automotive Audio is a very difficult place to deal with and they have no customer service skills what so ever. Word to the wise, please shop around before considering them to put any thing in to your vehicle.Clay is a very rude person with no people skills at all, I am very lucky that my car did not catch fire!!!

2017-06-27My family and I passing through from Oregon heading up to Skowhegan Maine. Our 99 Tahoes tape deck crapped out so we found these guys online and Clay hooked us up with a decent stereo. he didnt try it upsell us on everything just gave us a good deal. I had some trouble understanding how to use the system but assumed that it was the fault with the equipment and he worked with me several times over the phone and was happy to help me when I brought the car back to his shop.Turns out it was user error (on my part) but he was great to deal with all the way throug. I would highly recommend him whether you live here or are passing through.
