Made the right choice
January 31, 2019

The kit I ordered came with everything I needed to install a replacement radio in my car. My inexperience and a little lack of better instructions or pictures for people like me was the only problem. I called the help line and they solved my problem, very helpful, I was impressed and would recommend and buy from them again.

I initially called about replacing my car type cd player in my infra red sauna. I found, with help, a great low cost replacement and also purchased some door speakers for our rv.

Satisfied Customer
January 21, 2019

I received my order as promised, I ordered Rockford Fosgate 6x9 & 6.5 speakers for my 2019 Tacoma with the speaker adapters. The speakers do not match the adapter screw holes so I had to use a Dremel to make them work, overall they turned great & I'm happy with the purchase.

Always the Best!
January 21, 2019

Crutchfield always has the best prices and the best service for me. I do not like going to big box stores and dealing with people who may or not know what they are selling, at Crutchfield if I don't know they do. Thanks!

Shipping was on time and after having some trouble with my install I had fantastic customer service with all my questions. Mitch helped me through every mistake I made with my PAC device for my 2006 Tundra installing a JVC double din. Could not have asked for a better experience with Crutchfield and the product.

Poor to Solid
January 20, 2019

Spoke with 2 reps. I had already done my online research. Neither really took the time to understand my level of HT knowledge. I'm not an expert but I'm on my 3rd upgrade of my HT. The first tried to upsell me an HT receiver that was way more than I needed. There were 3 Yamaha receivers that all had the same capabilities. The only difference was watts per channel and price. Via email, I asked him why the more expensive one and he had no real reason. That was the last I heard from him. Are your reps paid a commission?

The second rep was better in helping me work through my question in regards to how the HT receiver I was looking at would support my overall goals for my HT and my wired speakers in the rest of my home. The one thing I really liked was the image sharing the second rep used to make sure we were both talking about the same thing. He was a little unclear on 5.1 vs 7.1 but we worked through it. Like the first rep, he tried to upsell me. This time it was 2 additional sets of speakers before he really knew what my current set up was and what the room would support.

In the end I'm happy with the service. If they are on commission then I understand the upselling but if both reps had taken the time to learn more about what I wanted they could have handled my call faster reducing the wait time of others on hold and maybe even drove more business for you.

I bought some of my items direct from you and some I used my Amex points and indicated Crutchfield as my provider of choice.

Thanks and I will be back.
