Have done business with Crutchfield off and on for probably 20 years. During that time I have learned that if it's electronic and they don't sell it, you probably don't want it. Their instructions and advice I have found to be spot on every time and if you ever have a problem with your installation or choice, they will work with you until the problem is solved or you are satisfied. Shipping is always speedy and I have never been left wondering where my order is. Who does any of these things anymore? Thank you Crutchfield!

Get with the times!
December 28, 2019

Love the company, love supporting such a long standing institution but you guys make it hard. I actually hate your gift card process in this day and age. I had to pay shipping on a gift card becuase of your antiquated system that does not allow for digital or ecards? Then cause my father asked last minute I had to spend 29 dollars for over night? 29 dollars for a card. Pathetic and explains why big business is winning. Address the horrid practice please!

Always been trusted
December 25, 2019

I'll admit, I've made past purchases of basic vehicle audio on Amazon with success. My latest purchase was to upgrade the speakers in my truck. Crutchfield has always been a trusted source for information and quality product. I ordered my speakers from Crutchfield and couldn't be more satisfied. The instructions included with the order via email. All necessary installation aids (wiring harnesses, adapters) were included, at no additional charge. Keep up the exceptional service!

I bought a different DAP on Amazon, and had a horrible experience. My biggest problem was with the manufacturer and distributor. Bottom line, the manufacturer wouldn't cover the device because it came from a third party distributor. Amazon was good in that they took it back, but same on them for selling the device from a third party distributor. My experience with Crutchfield by comparison was a dream. Free 2nd day air shipping (without an annual membership), free one year technical support. Biodegradable shipping peanuts, even. I will not hesitate to recommend Crutchfield to anyone on the fence.

Excellent service
December 22, 2019

I ordered some speakers for my daughters car. The website makes it simple to find the right components for a specific vehicle. My speakers came with instructions for installing them in my daughter's car and the adapters for the wires plugs so no cutting or splicing wires. Couldn't be simpler!

Order ELAC bookshelf speakers. The speaker is just what I needed. Bought a turntable last year, now my vinyl sounds like it was just pressed.

I got on Crutchfields website to start researching speaker upgrades for 2 of my vehicles. Their website is extremely user-friendly, and easy to navigate. When I saw their prices, they were too great to pass up! I ended up ordering 8 Kicker speakers and 2 tweeters, broke down like this:

2018 Toyota Tacoma:
Pair of 6x9s for front doors
Pair of 6.75s for the rear doors

2016 Jeep Wrangler
Pair of 6.5s for the lower dash
Pair of 6.5s for the roll bar
Pair of tweeters for the upper dash

Crutchfield included plug-n-play wire connectors for everything, vehicle specific instructions, and mounting brackets, all for FREE.
Total cost = $243... YOU JUST CAN'T BEAT THAT! I couldn't be happier.

Simply the best service
December 20, 2019

There are a lot of online stores out there but Crutchfield simply has the best service out there. I live in Guam, a US territory with at least 14 hours of flight time from the continental USA but Crutchfield has a free shipping here too. I purchased a Canon EOS R camera 3 weeks ago when it was on a black Friday sale. Then on Holiday sale, the price was cut another $300 off that sale price. I wrote Crutchfield and asked if they would have a price warranty since it is less than a month. Crutchfield gave me back the $300 difference. Thank you so much Crutchfield. You're my favorite online store.

Totally changes sound experience in our kitchen: both TV and streamed music. Wonderful. The one problem: a critical optical cable was not included: the web site should have emphasized one wasn't included: we would have added it to the order for sure! Since we live very close to a Best Buy, $14 later we were good to go but would rather give the business to Crutchfield.
