What Our Clients Say

Great Job!  Found Exotic Car Audio on yelp and went to the shop to see if they could do the upgrade I needed on my Lexus.  Alex is a straight shooter and total pro.  New system ROCKS!  Highly recommend Alex and Exotic Car Audio.

I have an older car that doesn't have the capacity to use an i phone.  I was not really sure how to get it done.  Alex listened to what I wanted and then presented me with different options..  He took time to explain them all to me and the cost.  Once I made my choice, he installed it the very next day.  I was really happy with the install process and the product. He is so patient having to re-explain a few things to me (I am not the most savvy stereo/phone app person!). Thanks so much! I love my new stereo!

Had an auxiliary input added to an older car stereo system. They were very nice, very quick, shop was clean and professional, offers a warranty on the work. Very happy I decided to go there!

I know of what I speak as I've owned a chain of Car Stereo Audio / Video stores in the Bay Area years ago... High praise for Alex who is an intelligent, honest and efficient owner / operator of this establishment... I'll be back...!

I was very impressed with the level of service I got with the owner. He personally installed the new CD player and explained how to link my cell phone to the deck. He was friendly and very informed about the product. I can't ask for more!

After doing a little research online I found these guys to be the best of the best when it came to reviews. Now I know why! Their attention to detail on every aspect of my experience with them is second to none. If you're in the Chico Area, look no further! Alex and his crew are top notch!

Amazing service!!! I recently purchased an older car and wanted to update the stereo system. After checking several other places in Chico and Paradise, no one could do the job with out waiting days for parts. I called on a Saturday afternoon and boom got it installed the same day. It was quick and looked and sounded great. Thanks a million guys.

Owner Alex knows his stuff. Drop your car, truck, boat, police vehicle, atv, golf cart, rv or anything off and tell Alex to wire it up.  There is no price that can be put on doing it right the first time by a pro.

I recently purchased a pristine 2007 Mercedes-Benz with 40K miles.  The car is absolutely beautiful.  It came advertised with XM radio.  I found out after I bought the car that it did not include XM.  That is where Alex came in.  NOBODY in town__The dealer or any other car audio companies knew how to install XM in an older Mercedes.  Alex was able to figure it out.  He was extremely professional, kind, and he ended up moving the antenna three times to get the best reception.  He emailed me once at 3:14AM to ask me about the reception.  I cannot imagine working with a nicer, more professional person.  Alex is the BEST!!!!! I will absolutely return to him for all of my car audio needs and I have already told several of my friends about him.  Thank you Alex!!

Alex has been our pursuit vehicle installer for several years now and never fails to go the extra mile for us.  He fixes problems that crop up and is able to come up with solutions that we would never have thought of. His time and money estimates are always on the dot.  He's quick to respond when we need something fixed.  I highly recommend Exotic Car Audio & Security in Chico, CA.

I needed an iPod connector installed in my car. I didn't want to get rid of the factory stereo and wasn't sure what options I had. I went to 2 places in town, the second one being Exotic. I was impressed with Alex's willingness to walk me through my options and give me the price for both. He is a genuine, nice guy that didn't pressure me into a decision one way or the other. Once I settled on the way I wanted the install done, he ordered the parts, which got to the shop a day and a half later. The install took 45 minutes, as promised and the stereo/ipod input functions exactly like I hoped it would. Alex was able to put the connector exactly where I had hoped it would go (out of sight in the center console). The price was great, the customer service was great and the work was done quickly and neatly.

Alex saved my life by suggesting I replace my pitted windshield.  He knew we were going on a long trip.   We ran into really bad weather and the old windshield would have cracked and visibility of oncoming traffic would have been hazardous due to the pits.  Alex was respectful, delivered the car on time and was caring about my safety.   He also replaced the antenna which had been broken off in a car wash.  If you need any repair Alex is your man.  He will do the best job and  try to find the most cost effective way to give you the best product.  I am very satisfied with his service.  Becky Key, Chico, CA

Good overall experience with this audio shop. Alex was pretty knowledgeable and very helpful. Highly recommend...

Exceptional service! Alex was is very knowledgeable and gave great recommendations for our system. Very clean and professional installation.

I had to get some work done on my car's old and uncommon alarm system, and it was done very quickly! I wasn't even there for 10 minutes. And the work was done for lest than I expected. The gentleman was also able to program my new car door-clicker-thingy no problem. Inside the shop there are many car accessories and upgrades avaible, from stereo items to lighting to window tinting. And it was clean inside, so many car places are always grimy, but this place didn't make me feel worried to sit on the couch lol. I do recommend this place! I shall be back soon to check out window tinting :)

Well I'll tell ya....The owner operator ,Alex was a stand up guy ! He not only did what he said he would do but was a very informative and HONEST individual..Car electronics ,,go see this guy

Best shop in Chico! The owner Alex is friendly and professional. My car sounds awesome =)

This place is great! Alex was so nice. My wife and I purchased a remote start and a iPhone docking station for hands free calling and other cool stuff. He explained to me all the features and how to use them.... I won't. Go anywhere else.

When my rear window got vandalized and was completely shattered, I immediately called Alex at Exotic Car Audio. He ordered the window for me and had it fixed and ready to pick up after only a few hours even though it was a Saturday. The window looked great and he even added tinting to match the back windows perfectly. I would highly recommend them to anyone for their efficiency and quality work. Excellent experience!

Had a blown fuse in my amp and the wiring connecting to it was poorly done by the previous owner. I didn't know what to do with it so I called the guy up and set up an appointment. Took the car in and about 2 hours everything was done and ready to go. Everything was done professionally and I can't complain although the price was a bit pricey. I cringed a little but the good work to my car shows, now I'm blasting away them bass.

I had a remote start alarm installed in my Ford F-150 by Alex at Exotic, couldn't be happier! Alex had the best quote in Chico, he was friendly and did great work! The install was quick and he was helpful the whole way through. He answered all questions and changed settings to my liking. I'd recommend Exotic car audio to anyone who is looking to support a locally owned business that does amazing work for a great price! A+++!

I have sent tons of my customers here over the years. I have always received positive feedback. I bought a car stereo system and was amazed at what I had been missing with my stock stereo. Alex tool the time to ask me questions until he understood what I valued in a system. Then proceeded to install a magnificent system. I have never looked back. I'm very pleased with my experience.

Had my windows tinted by Exotic Car Audio. No bubbles and looks GREAT! Fast too.

The best!!! Always professional. We've had a car stereo put in our car and TVs put in our expedition. The use only the best equipment. We've had it for years and it still looks and sounds beautiful. Plus they stand behind their work. I put my complete trust in them. Thank you Exotic Car Audio and thank you Alex.

Opened the shop up for me. Recut the holes perfectly for the subs. Went the extra mile to make sure everything worked and fit. Great price too. I'll definitely be back.

Was looking into getting a USB hookup for my iPhone so I was lead to believe a new deck was my only option. Searched around local car audio places and was still under this impression. I drive a Honda accord so I could either pay upwards of $500 to replace my whole control system or go ghetto and put the new deck below in the cubbyhole. After talking with Exotic, he was totally honest about the above options but told me he could do an iPod interface hookup for a way better price! I am 200% satisfied not only with his customer service but how he took care of my car, prices, honesty, and how quick my car was done!!!!!!  Don't waste your time with any other place.. GO TO EXOTIC CAR AUDIO AND SECURITY!!!

Alex has Wired 3 cars for me. Always professional. Always perfect. Can't wait to get a new car. 1st stop- Exotic for upgraded audio Highly reccomended
