Fantastic tint job on my 23 CRVHybird; windshield and side frontwindows. Received the best material at a reasonable price. This project was important to me;as I have had skin cancer (squamas and basel) many times.

This car audio team of Stan and associates are AS GOOD AS IT GETS for auto audio!! Had my car and a truck outfitted by them - then 8 years later upgraded those same audio systems! I Have also recommended them to many friends - with everyone completely happy that I did!!

Great Experience! Stan and his staff did a quick diagnosis of a problem I was having with my stock Honda pilot sound system. Did a great job explaining the options and the potential risks of the solution and gave me a reasonable quote for the repair. Also Stan was incredibly knowledgeable on several accessories for my new truck. Stan and his staff know their craft!

Was looking at several different head unit options. Came in spent a good amount of time in the store and talking with everyone there. Worked out the head unit, accessories and install date in about 45 minutes.Prices are a little higher than the BigBox/bargain hunter/online only shops, but the service and follow through more than make up for it.Wiring is neat and tied off. No rats nest behind the head unit or by the battery terminal.Install was great, looks and sounds great. Apart from the new head unit, you can't tell these guys were there. They even cleaned up the wiring from the previous owner (bad H/U install, BT Adapter, radar detector and such).I had a small post install problem (defective USB port) and the team at Auto Acoustics was more than happy to find a time to take a look and swap out the bad part.

A+ customer service; A+ people; and A+ work. Highly recommend Audio Acoustics. They were the nicest people, did great work, super knowledgeable, went the extra mile (or extra 10 miles) were really efficient and communicative. Very reasonable prices. Awesome experience; I definitely recommend it. Also, it s right near Target & Chick Fil A and several other businesses, so you can drop off your car and go eat & run errands. I love this place!

Auto acoustics installed a car stereo that I had repaired under warranty. They couldn't have been more helpful or professional. They installed my car stereo in 20 minutes and it works like a charm. I very strongly recommend them!!

Got my windows tinted here and they were great. Easy to set up appointment and they were right on time. Even called to remind me of appointment. Shared realistic timeline to complete the work and met expectations. Real friendly bunch that was super knowledgeable about all things car related. Will go back for any audio/car needs.

Great people to work with. I got the remote start installed on my 4runner and it works like a charm. They were also priced significantly cheaper than another place the dealership had recommended. Reasonably priced and flawless work done in a timely manner you can t beat that!

It's been about a year since I first stepped foot in Auto Acoustics, when I brought in my new WRX for a complete sound system overhaul, sound deadening, window tint, and some interior lighting effects. I honestly could not be happier with the quality of the work, the equipment, and the customer service at this place. When I first got my car, I debated saving some money by buying the equipment and installing it myself with the help of some friends, but I have no regrets about letting these professionals work their magic. The were able to complete the entire initial installation for me in a single day, and that includes all the little things like re-wiring the back-up camera and the steering wheel stereo controls. The prices are fair, especially for the quality of equipment and work you get. I've had friends who know the ins and outs of installing this kind of equipment compliment on how clean the job is. These guys really know what they are doing and know all the details about the equipment they are selling, which is some of the best you can get. Since the initial installation, I've been back a half dozen times to make small adjustments and try out some other subwoofers. Every time I've gone back, they've been able to accommodate my needs, and help me make tweaks to sound deadening to make the system sound even more amazing, often without charging me any extra. It's nearing the year anniversary, and everything still sounds and looks amazing -- not a single blemish in the window tint, not a single problem with the electronics and wiring. If you are looking for sound system upgrades, window tint, or a full overhaul like I got, definitely give this place a shot. Shout out to Stan for the excellent customer service and Rob for the excellent installation work.

Top notch sales and service. They updated my 2010 370z with a new radio, back up cam, and front/rear cameras. High quality of equipment and work. I will be going back to update my Tundra with a more modern entertainment system. Great service, friendly people.

Stan and the crew at Auto Acoustics are absolute wizards. I have had several vehicles modified with custom lighting and every time the service has been fast, beautifully done and for a reasonable cost. The entire staff has been very courteous and always professional. I have had absolutely zero problems with any of their work or installation. Fantastic work, guys!! A+++

Phenomenal team. Have enjoyed working with these guys over the years. They have done numerous services for me, including two speaker system installs and a dash cam install! Plan to get my tint done here as well.

I was very pleased with my experience here. I had a stereo I couldn't successfully install myself, and Auto Acoustics gave me an estimate and an appointment. They were professional, helpful, and polite the entire time. Everything functioned well in the end and the price was even a few dollars less than the estimate! Would recommend.

A++ rating for this place! You can get equipment anywhere, but the quality of the service provided, the value for the cost, and customer service is what sets a place like this apart from the rest. Great communication on the install day and it looks and sounds so good! Thank you for a much-needed upgrade from my WRX factory deck!

I had a great experience at Auto Acoustics in Durham. The whole staff is very knowledgeable not just about their products but also the make and model of my car. They were always a pleasure to deal with, the prices were good and the installation was very professional. They went the extra mile to make sure everything matched. I would highly recommend this business.

I needed work done on my car audio system and everyone kept saying to go to Best Buy. I did not want to give money to a corporate place and I didn t fully trust that a Best Buy employee would really know what they were doing like a shop who does NOTHING but this kind of work (no shade Best Buy). So I did some googling and found Auto Acoustics. I had a GREAT experience. Phe helped me identify the problem, and find the best solution for my price point without compromising quality. It was clear I was a little out of my depth but he didn t take advantage at all and instead helped me. The work was done very quickly and I haven t had an issue since. My car sounds so good! It bumps y all! Highly recommend!

There are no smiles and the place is small, but I have found giants inside that store. Excellent service and the best technical quality in the installation. They even helped me adjust the equipment to my needs! Before meeting them I have made some estimates (dash cam) and the most honest place has been here. Thank you forever!

This business is a testament to what a good business should be. I reviewed the company online and in person prior to choosing as a definite to complete my need. On the phone, very pleasant and knowledgeable. In person, same demeanor, clean store and most importantly, CLEAN EMPLOYEES doing the installations. Pricing - very competitive. Setting the appointment to meet my availability was a plus, as well as the fact that the job was completed ON TIME as promised - actually a bit earlier. Overall - I would recommend these guys to my friends and colleagues for any of their vehicle needs. Stan/Roger, you guys ROCK !! Love the work!

By far the BEST quality Window Tint jobs I've ever seen!! I'm an automotive enthusiast of many years and critique everything. Most places will leave a gap at the top edge of the window, because they say it will "peel" when rolled up many times, this is NOT true. It peels because of poor quality tint and install. At Auto Acoustics, Rodger (the Tint Guru) takes it all the way to the edge, and it's PERFECT! I've had the same tint on for years, No Fading, No Peeling and No Bubbles!! If you buy a new car from a dealership in the area and want it tinted, there's a good chance that exquisite "factory" look is his craftsmanship. I've taken all my cars to him, and will trust no one else now. He has even done intricate designs and multi-color tint "artwork" in some cases. It's wild! You can check out his talent in the portfolio when you go get your quote. If you want the absolute best, Go See Rodger at Auto Acoustics. You won't be disappointed!

Stan and the team at Auto Acoustics exemplify the highest level of customer service. I must have called at least 5 times after setting up the appointment to ask questions and make adjustments to my installation, and each time I was met with a patient, positive and transparent attitude. The AA team understood the vision I had for my Mazda's audio system, and they went above and beyond my expectations on the install. Seriously, if you're considering getting audio work done on your car, these guys are pros.

wow great service! I called 2 other places before settling on them. They installed an amp and subwoofer. These guys know what their doing. They set my crossover and installed a bass level control so that I can adjust depending on the song. I listen to music all over the spectrum (deathmetal, classic rock, rap, pop, ect) and found the subwoofer that suited my needs. I tried a 10" and 12" and back to the 10" and settled on the 12". I don't know if their competitive with their pricing, as I didn't bother to shop around once I felt confident with their expertise. They only deal with the high end SKU products and equipment you can't get at Walmart. I'm sure you can go to best buy and get it done cheaper, but you won't have the care and calibration these guys do....They want you to leave satisfied. And that I did....A Loyal customer for life.....Thanks guys....my car is boomin! :) Dave "bleach" C.

Called ahead before coming and spoke to Stan who was very helpful on the phone and dealt with Richard in person. Both fantastic. Had to replace both front speakers and Richard was attentive and asked what I mostly listened to - to which I replied podcasts, so vocal audio was most important to my situation - he showed me a set of speakers he suggested and after I gave them a listen we agreed they would be best. Came back at a time they weren't busy, just a few hours later, and got both installed for a reasonable price and about an hour and a half wait. New speakers are volumes louder than my old ones and I couldn't be happier. Will come again if the need arises!

The guys at Auto Acoustics were very courteous and knowledgeable. I had them install an Alpine mini plug and play amp into my lexus. They did it at the price quoted and my system sounds so much better. I didn't even purchase the amp from them. Other businesses were trying to charge double the price AA installed it for. Some places were evening insisting that it could not be installed because my car had a factory amp or that the sound would not be noticeable. I'm glad that I didn't listen and trusted the AA team. They have my business going forward. Thanks guys!!

Over the course of the year, I've had the staff at Auto Acoustics work in numerous vehicles for me encompassing all the services they offer: window tinting, stereo installation, cameras & remote starts, stereos, wheels & tires, lifts & truck accessories. In every instance they were knowledgeable, courteous, & not only delivered what was promised but WHEN it was promised! They definitely want to ensure your happiness & satisfaction!

Best investment I've put into my car. The gentleman behind the counter scheduled me for a Saturday, said it would take about 2 hours, and it was done in 2 hours.I simply upgraded my radio to a bluetooth radio. He didn't try to upsell me on anything. Gave great recommendations based on my needs. And even predicted that I would want to have my steering wheel controls remain working.Everything works great and I feel like I'm in a new car. Will definitely use again if I ever need to.
