Sonic Audio is the best car stereo shop on the Westside (and probably the Portland metro area). Steven and Nicole are highly knowledgeable, very friendly, and eminently honest. If you want your car's sound system upgrades done right, skip Car Toys and skip Best Buy; call Sonic Audio instead. Explain what you want, and they'll work with you to build, quote, and install the best solution.I've been working with them to upgrade my 2013 Subaru Impreza's sound system in stages that fit my budget. They offered really helpful advice in support of my harebrained efforts (my words, not theirs ?) to install new speakers myself. They quoted a very fair price to install a Kenwood head unit and Infinity powered subwoofer I bought elsewhere, and did an outstanding job. I'm about to get a 4-channel amplifier through Sonic, and I have every reason to expect they will do a stellar job.One important note: Sonic Audio's pricing is fair and reasonable, but don't expect screaming bargains. Cars are complex machines; it's worth paying a little more upfront for the skills and expertise of a seasoned pro like Steven to ensure all work is done correctly, especially when it comes to splicing wires and hooking up new, power-hungry components.

Went here because I was trying to solve a difficult problem with upgrading my Landcruiser that is poorly supported with aftermarket products. I couldn't have been happier with the choice. Super knowledgeable, smart suggestions, no upsell, easy to work with, great quality and value, and a great end result. I would recommend to anyone.

Amazing service. Went above and beyond what I had actually expected in terms of helping me with the whole process. Broke down everything I had questions about and walked me through the whole install. Excellent price for quality of work. Going here for future work and recommending this shop for anyone I know looking to get audio work down for their personal cars.

AMAZING. They are so friendly, honest and do stellar work. I attempted to do my own install and botched a few things. They did a great rescue service and did a few other things for me. I'll be back with my other cars. One of the best car audio install experiences I have ever had. Highly recommend!

Steven expertly installed front and rear view dash cams in my car at a great price. The whole experience, from his professionalism to clear explanations, was top-notch.I couldn't be happier with the results and truly appreciate Sonic Audio for their outstanding work.

These guys do great work! They installed a new touch screen backup camera with Apple airplay and more in our 2003 Toyota Highlander. Really enjoying the update, without buying a new car. Thank you, Steve and Nicole!

They installed my van electrical system (AC/DC charger converter and wiring) and a new stereo system. Great job. I will be going back.

Don't waste your time. They don't call you back. I called a few weeks ago about something and was told I would get a call back in a couple of days. Just called again and was told my info was written on a sticky note and most likely thrown away. This is not the first time I've looked to them for something. Back in July of 21, I was looking at getting a stereo installed. Again, never heard back. Today, the guy on the phone told me I should have been checking my junk mail for the quote. How would I know a quote is coming if I am not informed.The phone screener does not seem to want to be doing this job. I feel bad for the owner if he doesn't know this is happening. It is hurting your business.Update: owner has made contact and will be putting together some options for me.

Although Stephen and "The Sonic" obviously dont really NEED another awesome review I just wanted to add a few things I needed some very custom work done on my 8 year project Porsche Gemballa. Stephen IS the guy!! HE always goes above and beyond to achieve his personal goals of excellence. He is on a personal mission to not only do HIS personal best but THE best in whatever he does. He had my "one of a kind" Porsche at his shop for what seemed to be forever. You know if you really want the best be must prepared to accept the artists needs to take the time it takes to really get things right. Cheers to a one of a kind and keep up the fantastic work. It will be a sad day when Stephen is no longer available so get in there while you can!!!

Excellent shop. Tunes, air horns and more installed. Ask if they will put in your amateur radio. Very professional.

In the past hour after retrieving my car (2022 Bronco) from Sonic Audio, I can say without reservation that they have improved the driving experience for me. The reviews here and on a prominent search engine led me to want to visit the shop. Every review sharing about how as customers everyone was led to the right solution, not the most expensive solution is 100% truth. And all that said, I'm sure in a month I'll be knocking on their door again. This is an independently owned shop put together by a person who truly cares on delivering you the best possible experience. I'll take this experience over anything the other box type stores can deliver. This is the only place I'll be taking my car back to as its sound profile grows.Do yourself a favor. Go in, talk to them. You'll leave knowing you found your shop. Steven's knowledge of product is on par with his creating a customer experience: top tier.

***** Great local business! I had my dash cam and rear-view camera installed on my new Rav4 Prime yesterday. t's a no brainer hiring these guys -- capable team did a super clean job! Everything is neat, well-hidden and in perfect working order. Cute shop dogs to greet you at the door, too! Outstanding experience.

After a recent battery replacement my car stereo died. Looking around Yelp I decided to give these guys a shot and I was impressed! They communicate promptly and did a turn around install the same day I dropped off my vehicle. I highly recommend! Thanks team!

The head unit of my 2018 Subaru Forester left a lot to be desired. The dealership suggested a visit to Sonic Audio to explore after market options. They suggested a Pioneer unit that did everything I wanted and more. The installation looks like it was factory installed and functions as I expected. From my initial visit until the work was completed, Sonic Audio made it easy with no drama. I don't hesitate to recommend Sonic Audio!
