I had small job to remove a dealer alarm , the owner Howard was very knowledgeable about the removal of the device. Scheduled a time and dropped off the vehicle, the work was quality and the price was very reasonable. I would recommend contacting them for all your audio and alarm needs you will not regret it!

I found a replacement CD/Radio for our '08 Tacoma--the original had crapped out and some CDs got stuck inside--and Howard at Caracoustics in Santa Clara along with JJ did an amazing job of swapping out the old with the new, helping me test it, even cleaned it off for me, and pried open the old unit and retrieved the CDs that were stuck in there. The price was reasonable, and they shared some other insights--overall highly recommend this place for all your acoustic needs.

My experience with this company was great. I was given a quote and my radio/navigation system was repaired at a great price. Alot cheaper than buying a new one. The owner was very nice and knowledgeable. I definitely recommend them. Thank you Howard

I had a unique situation with a Pioneer NEX unit that had been poorly installed by the previous owner of my 4Runner. I put off getting my stereo and iDatalink Maestro harness repaired for months because I was paranoid it would be a chore to find a quality car audio shop that does clean installs. Well... the search is officially over. It is so rare to find a great car audio shop these days. I can't recommend Caracoustics enough. Howard, the owner, is truly a master of his craft. The guy is a genuine audiophile and a perfectionist which is the best combination IMO. He even did a firmware upgrade on my unit so it is now functioning better than ever. I can hardly wait to go back for more goodies! If you want to spoil yourself and your car this is the place.

Howard is the man. Out of 7 places I called that all told me no-there is no way-he is the only one that offered a solution that worked for me to get Bluetooth audio in my 08' Lexus. Go in and check him out. He knows his stuff.

My 1994 Toyota pickup was broken into and I decided I that needed an alarm. A friend recommended Caracoustics and I am glad he did. Howard is very professional and explained all my options to me; no hard sell, just gave me the information that I needed to make an informed decision. I am very happy with the product and with the work that was done, I can sleep at night knowing that my vehicle is well protected. Highly recommended and I will be using his services on any future needs. Thanks again to Howard and Caracoustics!

For transparency I havent had anything installed yet. However just getting a quote and having Howard look over my car and try and figure out what was causing my stereo issues. You can tell these guys CARE and know what they are doing. Thats rare now a days when working with shops. I recommend checking these guys out if you're looking to fix a problem with your car stereo or just want an upgrade and great quality work overall. 10/10 shop and I will be returning without a doubt no need to look around if you want the best come here.

Can't say enough good about Howard and Caracoustics. Even his competitor sent me his way for help installing turn signal triggered cameras on my jeep using the Stinger head unit. Stands by his word, very personable, and has pride in his work and reputation. Can't ask for anything more. Thanks again Caracoustics! Highly recommend.

At the recommendation of a Fellow Member of the Ferrari California Owner's Group I brought my Ferrari California to Howard at Caracoustics to Have them re-wire the brake lights. (See before and after photo of the brake lights.) And I was extremely pleased with the work! And Howard took the time to educate me and entertain me by letting me listen to various premium audio systems and showed me various options to upgrade the audio system in my Ferrari. I will be returning soon to have Howard install an upgraded audio system in my Ferrari and my BMW K1600B motorcycle. If you are looking for an Expert Audio Specialist in the Bay Area in Northern California, look no further, because Howard at Caracoustics in Santa Clara, California is your guy! I highly recommend him and I will keep going back to him for all my audio needs for my cars and motorcycles.

Howard and this place is so amazing. The screen in our 2014 Camry's radio broke and we found this amazing place. Howard was super helpful in explaining everything to us and how the process will work. He was so professional in explain all the options for the car and not pushing us into anything. It is so hard to find such and honest place like this in the Bay Area. Thank you Howard for making us feel so comfortable. If we ever need anything else we will definitely be back

Howard at Caracoustics is exactly what’s RIGHT with Customer Service nowadays! He’s a real person that answers the phone and he’s the most knowledgeable Car Stereo/Electronics Technician in the Bay Area!Definitely as good or even better than the service I’ve received with Crutchfield, but unlike Crutchfield… he doesn’t require confirmation of a previous purchase before answering questions!Not only is he knowledgeable but he’s also takes the time to answer your questions and explain things in great detail!Caracoustics will be the first call for me for all Car Stereo, Car Alarm, and modern Infotainment services!Thanks for all your help Howard!
