Cheap, fast, easy...

by james98102

These guys were the REAL better way to go.

After the competition tried to upsell me (amplifier, subwoofer, etc,), when all I really needed was to replace my blown factory speakers, I decided to check out Stereo Warehouse.

I walked in, and within 5 minutes they had sold me some great, basic replacement speakers without trying to send me home with a whole new system.

Installation went relatively fast. Their waiting area could be a little better, but for the price (installation was almost half of that at the competitors) I am not going to complain much.

The staff is colorful. I was surprised at the expletives, but I didn't care. You may want to leave the kids in the car when you come in. :)

And by the way, my system sounds just fine! Thanks guys!

• Pros: Won't try to upsell you, knowledgeable.
• Cons: Waiting area, neighborhood.

Stereo Warehouse work

by RobertDunshee

We have had radios and satellite receivers (Sirius) installed at Stereo Wharehouse.

They have been courteous and extremely helpful, specifically with problems with Sirius reception (which were no fault of Stereo Warehouse): they talked with Sirius and found the source of the problems. We would not have been able to get that kind of help ourselves from Sirius. No charge to us.

This is the only place in town where we would have automobile audio equipment installed or worked on.

(We have had them do installations in our Subaru Forester and our VW Vanagon.)

By the way, besides the courtesy and work, we like very much the easy humor there.

• Pros: All work done very well
• Cons: None at all

Best place for car audio

by MichaelSmith

I will first start by letting everyone that I am an installer at Stereo Warehouse. I have been working there for about 6 years. I've been reading some of the bad reviews and would like to clear the air. I can't even begin to tell how many repeat loyal customers we have and people that love our store. And yes I have seen A few upset customers but never because we were rude or overpriced. Some people just think they should get everything for nothing or that we should replace gear that is way out of warranty. I think every store deals with crazy people once in awhile. And for the people that say we are rude, I can say that I have never been treated better anywere else I have worked. If you haven't been to our store you realy should check it out. Its insane how much cool gear we have. And even if you don't buy anything I'm sure you will enjoy our store. And as far as our our staff goes... We are all realy in to car audio and know our stuff. So before you are turned away by a few bad reviews come check it out for yourself. You will be happy you did!!!

• Pros: Good people..Great product
• Cons: None

the odd men out.

by scottjordan1

As I expected from the commercial these are a bunch of crazy people. I was initially greeted by all things a woman who actually had an IQ. I was then greeted by an older fellow who joked a lot and treated me like a person and not a walking wallet. A little heavy on the playful banter though (but then again I speed sometimes).

Install of the machine took about fifteen min. I thought they were going to say they couldn?t do it when the

Guy handed me my keys

Overall I saved a good $50 bucks on my alpine minus 10 for gas is a $40.00 savings from the place that usually gets my business. Overall Well worth the drive from Tacoma.

• Pros: fun
• Cons: low rent

BEST PLACE FOR STEREOS

I buy all of my car audio equipment here! I can't get enough. Not only are the prices really reasonable but the staff ACTUALLY knows what they are talking about. The selection is great and you can't beat the service.

• Pros: The Staff and the selection
• Cons: nothing

Great place.

by bigman8258

Stereo Warehouse is the place to go! I've been there several times and some of those times, I wasn't even there to buy anything and I made that fact known to salesman when I was there so they didn't feel like they needed to put fourth a great effort. None the less, they strike up a convorsation about what they love (stereo equipment ) and tell me about some of the new stuff to the market. And even though I'm not buying they treat me just the same as any paying customer. Sure..... like any warehouse style establishment with any kind of a demand the employees are busy sometimes and you have to wait. But hey! Such is life. As far as knowledge goes most of the staff I've seen in there have been there for a long time. (Unlike best buy, or some other impersonal, souless establishment with a turnover rate like a fastfood joint.) That says something! They are totally up to any question you have to ask. If they don't know, they ask someone and find the answer. Anyways please go and check this place out if you have a chance. Oh! To the guy that says" He heard that the owner is a pedophile." (PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!)Go find a big cliff and play Peter Pan. It's because of little faggots like you who can't find anything to do but wine like the pre menstruel moody woman that you are. I mean really! Where do you come up with stuff like that? How do you or your friends know what a pedophile looks like? Take some time and research something before you make serious accusations like that. Do you even know the owners name? Didn't think so.

HAVE A NICE DAY :-)

• Pros: Everything a stereo lover can appreciate!
• Cons: Notta!
