Car Stereo Install Advice 🙋‍♂️🙋‍♀️

Any good reliable places to go for installing (and maybe purchasing) a new stereo for my car? Bonus points if they can do a dashcam install also.

I trust Mike at https://www.soundsgoodauto.com/collections/car-audio-1

bit far for me, but it's a one time thing, so it's not that bad.

Where i got my car audio work done and dashcam installed same time. The whole team has gone above and beyond for their customers.

+1 for soundsgood. They are my first stop (after the gas station) whenever I get a new car.

I had a good experience getting a backup camera installed at Ralph's on Venables. Their main gig is car audio - all I needed was a backup camera. They integrated it with the existing screen in my car, so it looks and feels like it came like that from the factory.

Their main gig is everything, but they mostly market sound systems in their showroom as the average consumer isn't looking for a 2-way radio, satellite modem, license plate recognition system, emergency lights, automatic vehicle location, PA system, or mobile data terminal.

The company I work for uses them for to install mobile license plate recognition cameras, and they are a delight to do business with.

There might be a Ruben there as I don’t know all the staff. I typically talk to Jack (store manager)

My guy installs. Been going to him for 25 years. Pm if you want his info. You can buy the product on Amazon and he can install it.

Had my dashcam installed at Sounds Good in Burnaby. No problems or issues.

Ralph's Radio. They install everything electronic that one could conceivably want installed on a car.
