I like the fact that you can talk to an audio expert to make an informed purchase. The 2 month trial period is long enough to really be sure the equipment is right for my needs.

Great service
March 14, 2018

It was very easy to choose the right unit for my CRV online and really liked how you help getting all the mounting hardware and Master sheet instructions for a very simple installation, but specially the Ready Harness made connecting the wires from new unit to vehicle harness a breeze! Thanks for a great experience and will definitely return to shop with you guys!

Still the best
March 14, 2018

I probably have not used your services since college. It was the go to place then and even better today. In the day I used to put in a number of systems for friends and customers. Final year of college I averaged about in install a day, but I have not done that for over 30 years. I am not so confident of my knowledge of today's automobile wiring. So I ordered the pre-wired kit. This way the install was simply plug and play. The Emailed PDF instructions and detailed photos made the install a breeze. The few bucks the harness cost vs time to install was well worth it. I am willing to bet those that get that service have less returns and less burnt up stuff after the install. Thanks

Great service and great products! Always a great experience for close to 20 years! Why is there a 100 word minimum for this review? I have nothing else to say and this is starting to feel like an elementary school paper.

The guided product selector made buying a stereo for my vehicle an experience that was hassle free. The stereo and required hardware arrived fairly quick and it was easy to complete the installation. I would not recommend going anywhere else for your electronic needs.

Just typed in my make and model, plus the year of my car. They showed me everything that I needed. They even showed me different priced options to choose from. They made it super simple to pick the stuff I needed and to install it. Will use Crutchfield from now on whenever I order anything car steel related.

They made it so easy to install a new stereo in my car. The order process was streamlined by them having everything bundled. The ready harness service was more than worth the small price I paid to avoid worring if I had everything connected properly. From start to finish I removed the old steep and had the new one installed in less than an hour.
