5 Reasons to Get Pro Installation (Why Pro Installation is Worth It)

Don’t Take Matters Into Your Own Hands When Car Audio Quality Is On the Line

You’re ready to purchase a new car stereo system, and - thinking you’ve watched enough video tutorials online - you’re ready to do a DIY install. 

Maybe you like to geek out on electronics, or you’re a car audio lover who wants everything perfect. Great -  so are we! But the last thing we want to see is a brand-new system getting botched on the install. Believe us, we’ve seen it before. 

You don’t want your DIY car audio installation that turns into a repair in a matter of minutes. Instead, here are five reasons why it might be better to leave the installation to a professional team of car audio technicians near you.

1. We Have the Car Audio Technical Training

Car audio technicians have the training they need to take care of your install from the beginning of the process to your first listen when you test drive the system in our parking lot. 

We’re obsessed with car stereo systems, so that means we’re obsessed with ensuring they’re installed correctly, based on industry standards. We want anyone who gets in your passenger seat to think your system was installed at the factory by the automaker themselves. And hey, if you want to pretend you did it yourself, we won’t tell. We got you.

2. Experience is Our Teacher

Go online and check out some of the botched installs from those who’ve given it a try, and paid the price. It’s kinda funny. But not funny

Think of it this way: we’ve learned from experience. We were all once curious kids who wanted to get our hands on audio equipment whenever we could. 

But now, as professionals, we know the ins and outs, we know where the trouble lies, and - most importantly - we know how to avoid it. We also know how to make the little tweaks, and we’ve made it our job to learn all of our name-brand systems’ hidden features, so we drop our knowledge for you. 

We treat every car like it’s our baby. Then, we hand it off to you, so you can enjoy our high-quality car stereo installation services.

3. Expert Advice 

We love to chat with our customers about what we know, what innovations we’ve heard are coming soon, and what’s hot on the market right now. 

We always have a little bit of extra inside-the-industry knowledge to share on everything from the latest car speakers to savings and deals for all things car audio near you.

Come see us in our shop, and pick our brains - we love to let you know what’s going on, and that’s something you can’t get from a tutorial video. 

Remember: those folks are in it for the subscribers and likes - we’re in it for our customers.

4. We Save You Time

If you’re doing the install yourself, you’re going to take up your evenings or your weekends crouched in your hot car messing with wires and instruction booklets, with your phone propped up on the dash playing that YouTube “how to” over and over again. 

With professional car audio installation, you can drop your car off with us, get a ride from a buddy, do something fun, and come back when we’re done. We’ll give you a call. 

Sound like a better idea for your weekend? We think so. We’re on the clock, so you can take the afternoon off.

5. We Know the Tools of the Trade When it Comes to Car Audio

One of the worst things that can happen to you, whether it’s home repairs or installing car speakers, is when you’re in the middle of the job, and you realize there’s a tool you don’t have. 

Then, you have to drop everything to head to the hardware store, but they don’t have what you need, so they pass you off to an electronics store. Soon, you’re spending money on tools and gas that you could’ve spent on an affordable install by the pros. 

We have every tool in our shop (and then some) to do the job right. Let us take care of you, and we think you’ll notice the Car Stereo City difference. 

Pro Car Audio Installation Has Its Perks 

We hope we’ve convinced you not to make the mistakes of too many folks across the country, who think they’re saving money by doing it the hard way. A professional install is called that for a reason - we strive to offer professional quality, and that means no mistakes, flaws, or unexpected expenses.

As a bonus, remember that Car Stereo City products come with a lifetime warranty as well as financing and leasing services. And that’s something you can’t do yourself!

But we can. Give us a call at (858) 277-1823, or shoot us a quick message online. We’d love to partner with you - and your new system - to show you what a professional-grade install sounds like.
