I was in dire need of security services. The team at Armando Sounds listened to my security and safety concerns and made their best recommendation for installs and even went beyond the norm and extended same day service. This act of kindness was the above and beyond service, for a team who is already booked out weeks in advance they managed to secure a spot for me even if it meant it would add to their already busy day, and extend their work day longer. I traveled from a north shore suburbs and it was worth the trip. The team at Armando Sounds really demonstrated that their customers matter and as does their safety, due to their amazing customer service and quality security products will be championing for their services and recommending this shop!

Have come here twice in the past year. I had Armando sounds install my head unit and rear camera about a year ago and haven’t had an issue. Flawless install. Very professional and decent turn around time (few hours). Returned about a year later to have a sub installed and absolutely love it. The owner recommended a sub based on my description of what I wanted. I’m very particular about who touches my car but felt very safe with this place as the owners are very nice. I wanted to take the time to write this review for people looking for a reputable company that they can trust with their car! Will and am recommending Armando Sounds to friends and Family.

Went for a simple radio take out, and the Guys there helped me better than the retail stores, actually got a 1989 Lincoln, sounding like it was playing Vinyl records… Cost was way better than expected!!! I’m very happy with just checking them out and getting the Best deal ever… so Happy I’m returning to them with another customer.

Staff and owner was nice however DO NOT TAKE YOUR CAN-AM SPYDER there. About a year ago, I took my Spyder there to have LED lights installed. The tech connected the lights to my main fuse box. This is a No, No! They also, used a fuse that was to big for the circuit(7amp). Therefore instead of the fuse blowing, it burned and if i did not notice the smell, It would have burned my entire fuse box. I just had to remove and replace over $250 worth of LED lights and have them wired correctly.

Great place friendly staff . I have been going to this place for over 20+ years same owners . They never disappoint. They are very knowledgeable and recommend whats best for your vehicle. I put total trust In this business . My vehicle is there right now wouldnt go anywhere else ...

Got my car hooked up with a sony 7in radio. They hooked me up with a decent price and was done in 2 hours worth the wait.

Great shop, helpful for remote start.

Great customer service thanks for taking care of me highly recommended🙏🏽

Unbelievably great customer service. The staff is very friendly, professional and accommodating. My experience was great and they installed my drone remote start with perfection. Will definitely be back.

Armando sounds is the best place to pamper your car. Mohamed and his crew are the most amazing people you can meet and they take care of their customers. I highly recomend the Armando sounds. Winter is coming and you all need to install remote starter,well this is the spot. Thank me later!

I took my 2003 Honda civic in and they completed the work on time and were professional. after my car battery dies a few days late (all my fault lol) they even guided me on how to re-program my remotes myself. i am definitely going back to finish the re-programming and to install my sub woofers. thanks, guys!!!

I didn’t purchase services from them. But I asked 1 million questions over the phone and the gentleman who picked up was very patient, helped me research and answered all my questions. He didn’t try to force me into buying a service or push a product on me. I really appreciate your help!!Thank you for the guidance and patience with me 🤗🤗🤗

They did a phenomenal job at installing my remote start using my stock car remote. The job was clean and they finished the job in their estimated time.

Good place but didnt have the key i needed

4 months ago they wront install my system audio

I do not recommend very high prices

COVID-19 has not hindered the quality of work these guys produce. Unfortunately if you are going to wait for your vehicle you will have to find an alternative place to wait. Luckily there are coffee shops and local restaurants that will gladly accommodate you.

Great experience would return for other services. I had remote start I stalled.

They installed a Fortin Evo All with Mycarlink/Linkr Lt2 and everything works. they have a flashlink updater if you want to save more money. allegedly the transponder bypass module fortin sent me was no bueno.. so an additional $60 was added to the bill. cellphone remote start w/gps for $30/yr you cant beat that.

I just installed a dronemobile smart phone alarm system with Armandos sound and it works great, I strongly recommend them for any remote/alarm system for any vehicle they are great!!!

Professional, honest and Dependable. No job is too big or too difficult for these guys. Alway fair pricing and quality equipment. I highly recommend Armando’s sounds.

Ive been coming to this place for years. They have done window tints on all of my cars that I have owned and they do an amazing job. They have also installed a dash cam and headlights for me. Very honest and hard-working people and that is hard to find these days.

I just drop mi car for a Remote control start,very courteous attention.

One word to describe these people. Unprofessional!!

As always, more great service from Armando Sounds!!! Thanks Guys!!!

They give great customer service. I came in not fully understanding how remote starts worked. After 30 mins with the staff and going home performing some research of my own. Everything they said was spot on. This helped me to make an informed decision as to what I need and what I want. If I ever want to get another remote start installed these guys have my business hands down.

TL;DR - AMAZING service, fast, cheap, and friendly!!! Definitely would recommend to anyone looking to get new sound equipment installed!I was having a very hard time installing an aftermarket stereo in my hand-me-down 2008 Jeep Patriot and of course, Jeep makes it nearly impossible for an inexperienced person to do (go Honda!!!).I called on Tuesday and they said they could get me in same day, but I had to work. We scheduled for the next day and he said it would take about 45 minutes.45 minutes later, I drove off with a functional stereo and they only charged $45 since I did most of the wiring myself already. They had to wire into the cigarette lighter to get the ignition ground to work (I think, Im not well versed)

Very great and quality place. As soon as I came in, I was treated like family. I felt it from the whole staff. The prices are affordable and the work is top quality. Thank you Mo for taking care of my Chrysler. I would definitely be back to upgrade my Jeep. For those seeking their services, I would definitely recommend their service. Please allow the time to service you.~satisfied customer

Always friendly service, quality parts and work ask for MO!

Best place to install your remote starter.

Great shop! The owner, Mo, is very friendly and super knowledgeable. They stand behind their work and they have amazing customer service. They took care of a small issue I was having with a remote starter 3 years after they installed it and didnt charge my anything! Their work is quality and they use quality equipment. Truly stand up guys. I recommend them to everyone!

They took care of my sister in law when I took her there for her remote start. Good costumer service and fair price. Also not a long wait like other places to get the job done. Best Buy said she would need to Wait a month to get her car scene and cost more for the same service.

I’ve used Armando Sounds to upgrade/replace my sound system or add an alarm on every car I owned since the late 90’s!They do amazing work, use monster or heavy gauge cables, dedicated fuse, invisible wiring through and through and unbelievable custom work! Anytime I had an issue/question they stand by their work 100%!I’ve researched the web for costs on head units, amps, speakers, etc and in my experience they beat the price I expected and several times I was even able to got better products within my budget!If you’re thinking about upgrading/replacing any electronics on your vehicle - if your shopping around - make sure you go to Armando Sounds. Or save your time and talk to them 1st. There’s a reason they have been there 20+ years!

Amazing group of guys. As I walked inside the store regarding my transponder key issue, the gentleman was very welcoming and took time to figure out the problem. Quickly he figured out that the car key needed a reprogramming and referred me to north side keys in western and Addison, as they didn’t do that kind of specific task there. As soon as I arrived to the other place, the guy took care of me as Armando sounds did. Fast and efficient service. It’s a small matter but It showed how sincere these guys are about their customers.

I had a remote start installed in my Volkswagen. They were very friendly and accommodating. I didnt understand how some of the features worked so they told me to come back and showed me how to use it. They have great customer service and are very patient when it comes to explaining things.

Very friendly people. They do an awesome job installing audio and car security and remote starter. Plus window tints. Price is very good and many more selections to choose from. I would recommend my family any day to them.

Excellent customer service. Extremely accommodating. Understands customers needs for sound tailored to their personalities and specific requirements. More than willing to rectify any wrongdoings or any potential problems that could have a reason within sound system install. Extremely Fair and I highly recommend going to them for car audio information and install needs. Very knowledgeable and kind. Very honest and caring towards their customers.

Ive been a customer for years. Never disappointed. Always satisfied. Down to earth and very professional folks. One of the best local businesses in town. Will always use and will highly recommend. Thank You Armando Sounds !

Very happy with the service I received from Armando Sounds. Customer service is top notch here. I had a remote starter installed and led lights. Very happy. Will be returning here for any of my needs for my vehicle.

Kal was the best ! So helpful, thorough, knowledgeable, and quick. In and out in a breeze with help with my pushbutton start. Highly recommend!

What a wonderful full place they know every there!!!!!!

These guys are awesome. I have been having some trouble with some aftermarket headlights and these guys are happy to help. I got LEDs installed by them about 3 months ago for my Mercedes and they look amazing. I chose them because they have such an incredibly high rating and there is a reason they have nearly 5 stars. THE BEST PLACE TO HAVE ANYTHING DONE TO YOUR CAR PERIOD!

These guys are Great!Great costume service and fair price.

I got my cars alarm here. Very helpful staff. I highly recommend them !

This place does top notch work and is very honest.

Great service. I took my car in for fog lights replacement. They talked me into installing LED fog lights. Love them. They also installed a USB outlet in my glove compartment. Clean Professional work. Highly recommend this shop.

I took my LX570 to Mohammed twice for installs. Nice guys, they run a great shop and do really nice work. They will upgrade your car and make it look factory. There’s always some high-end vehicles (Aventador, Rovers, Tesla) in the bays, so it seems they have built a great reputation.

Great services they put me in remote starter for my 2006 ford tarus in i havent have no problem at allon it

Great Place to go I had my alarm remote starter installed when They Open the location on Belmont and Cicero. I was treat it good my alarm was installed on time and they did a great job. I even did my Suv tints there. Great work. I would recommend. Thanks for the good work

Armando Sounds was great! I had someone else install my car stereo and it sounded terrible. The folks at Armando Sounds fixed some of the wiring and tuned my system to where it went from bad to great. The price was also very reasonable. I wish I’d come to Armando Sounds the first time around!

I have been using Armando Sound for several years now, multiple cars. Khalil and Mo are both straight shooters. Great quality, great pricing. If there is ever a problem, they immediately correct any faulty product at no charge most times. I highly recommend this shop for all accessories, especially tv screens, remote starters, wheels. Always a great experience.

Armando sounds are the best people in the city with great price and Professionalism at highest. They will make sure your car originality stays the same and gets the work done. I would recommend this place if you want your car to be treated as it should and variety of high quality products at less prices.Car Audio, Security systems, Dash Cam, Mats, upgrade wheels or anyother add on Accessories “ This is the place”.

12-29-17: Called last night at 5 minutes to close...got a quote for a remote start...had it in the shop at 10am and installed and out by noon... price seemed steep but given the turn around time(best i found within a 25 mile radius!!) and the product I chose, I would do it again. Pretty happy with the experience...I hope it last (fingers crossed!) Thanks Armando Sounds Crew! Happy New Year!!1-5-19: update, totalled my last car and the insurance wouldnt let me take my last remote start out so I had to come back and get another...Got them to install the key fob with the Drone Mobile app for $550..pretty pleased and they got it done quick again! Thanks guys

Professional service, good brands to choose, super nice people to do business with

Here right now having Armondo put an remote starter on my car. I recommend this place a hundred time over tell them Carolyn sent you

Happy with the service

I always come here to get a a new stereo installed or some sounds on my car. Best place to come to. Professional work and absolutely the nicest people youll ever meet.

I have purchased two basic JVC AM/FM CD players with installation here. The salesman didnt try to talk me into a fancier system than I needed. The work was done as promised, when promised, and it sounds great. Prices are pretty reasonable. I paid the same amount last week as I paid six years ago and even got an upgrade with Bluetooth.

I needed help troubleshooting a car radio. They were very helpful, quick, and professional. These guys rock! I will definitely be bringing all of my cars to them.

Hands down the best. I lived in the area and drive past it for work everyday. Just saw the rims in the widows. Few times wanted to stop but never did. I got new truck and wanted to get my tints done. Look up few places. I wanted 3m tint they gave me the best prices. When i walk in i saw this place was the real thing. I even got my sceen put in. All the people there are stand up guys. No bs. They not overcharging you. I would trust sending my family there and i will.

WE HAD OUR REMOTE AND ALARM SYSTEM PUT INTO OUR CAR AND WAS VERY PLEASED WITH THE RESULTS....VERY FRIENDLY CUSTOMER SERVICE.. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

These guys have some serious integrity. I bought a used car that I didnt know had an alarm. Of course I received no remote for it. When the alarm decided to turn on after several weeks, these guys sat with me on the phone and helped me get the alarm disabled. Who does that? I cant thank them enough. Ill be giving them all my business moving forward as I want to upgrade my stereo and eventually get that remote for the alarm.

They over charge for amplifier installations. On top of that they completely rip you off. An average 1000W amp thats typically $80 to $150 costs $250 there.

They not professional 🤬👎🏻

Nice place for car alarms and remote stars. Great service from the Guys Muhammad and arman. Always nice great service

My remote didnt work correctly on my Lincoln MKT a nice guy help me with fixed and since was something simple he just told me it’s ok 👍🏽 can’t believe it no charge me even a penny really appreciate you guys save me hundreds if went to Lincoln dealer

Ive been using them for the last 10 years or so. Theyve always been professional and a pleasure to deal with. I have had them install xenon headlights, alarms, and car stereos on several of my cars and of my friends, always top notch work. The install custom solutions to meet every individuals specifications and preferences. Keep up the excellent work!

Best shop in town. They do a really nice job on, alarms, lights, strobe lights. etc.

This is the VERY BEST place to go to for your vehicle as far as car stereo system....alarms......tints...... accessories and just about anything else ..... me personally would double the stars to 10 stars

They know what they are doing. Best customer service and work

Got new sounds in my Hummer. These guys ROCK! Friendly, Proffesional, outstanding craftsmanship. I will recommend this place to everyone.

Nice friendly and knowledgeable service

Great job with my install, and have been great with follow-ups with a couple of things. Highly recommend.

My dad bought a remote control starter and had it installed at Armando Sound. They were so nice, they even gave my dad a ride home instead of having him take a cab. They also were very professional with their service. We will be back!

If you need a Remote Start, New Radio...Etc! Visit Armondo Sounds you will be happy you did

These guys are great! I had a remote start installed somewhere else that stopped working. I had taken it to a few other places who couldnt figure out how to fix it so I figured it was a lost cause. After a couple days of extremely cold weather I figured Id give it another try to fix the remote start. Within a few minutes they had fixed the problem! I highly recommend Armando Sound on Lawrence!

Great spot to get any after market equipment... Good prices and expert installation

These guys DO EXCELLENT WORK and customer service is old world SPECTACULAR. I bought a Kenwood Touchscreen Radio with GPS, Sirius and backup Camera four years ago, and a Viper Alarm because we all know the thieves in the neighborhood LOVE CAMRY tires and other parts. Got a great deal for combining the alarm with Radio installation. Two brothers run the place and the could NOT BE NICER. In the 4 years since purchase, everytime there is an update to the radio firmware that makes my Sirius sputter, I just stop in, no appointment, no cost and BAM! UPDATE DONE in 15 minutes or less. The past couple weeks, the Sirius service was so bad, couldnt get a signal to save my life, went in told them what was going on. They took the car into the back and put a new antenna on and didnt charge me!!! Who does this??? No one! Im thinking of getting a new radio with more Bells and whistles these guys will have my business for as long as they are open. I will never purchase any aftermarket items for my vehicle, anywhere else. Thank you!!

Great service. Friendly staff.

They do good work. Very friendly crew. Will use them again.

They replaced my dud keyless entry! And remembered I gave em two viper remotes last year to send back. He gave me two remotes for those swap outs and then a new one cause I bought a new one last year. They stood up to their guarantees and yelp reviews. That is so rare these days. Im so relieved to have found a good place to deal with!!! Check these guys out for sure!

Got a remote start installed. Good service. Installation was fine correctly and remote start works great.

Good job. Thank you guys!Highly recommended!

My experience was fast service with good customer service. They installed a bllast with hid bulbs in and out fast they had led lights that I should come back for. Was watching them replacing my parts and seemed they were professionals ar this and the price was cheaper than the others I shopped around for.

I have been a customer of Armando Sounds for well over 15 years and have taken 12 cars to them. The trust and professional installation can’t get any better.

I bought a remote car starter from Armando Sound and had it installed there. they are very professional. highly recommended.

Drove past this place for years, needed a head unit installed and was in and out In 45 mins. Great guys to work with.

Prices are competitive, installations are professional, guys are a bit serious but friendly. When it comes to alarms, audio, starters and some other crazy stuff, these guys are top notch!

These guys are the nicest, humble, and professional bunch youll find. Always a pleasure doing business.

Great service and did a nice job installing new stereo!

Great people great service and price is always right......

I love the store because i have to many electronics from those guys and never disappointed!!!

Went there to get a radio and speakers installed in my 01 Ford Expedition all the gentlemen were very helpful and nice, worked with my budget & it only took 3 hrs TOPS ‼️💯❤️

Great prices, very professional and Military friendly!

I was there to get a remote starter. Very, very friendly and they explained everythingto me very clearly. Very happy with my experience there.

Went in to talk to someone about sounds. I was given the truth of what I needed to get that premium sound. The conversation was a great and I learned a few things. The only thing that confused me was that he said, my aftermarket speakers were a downgrade from my factory soeakers. I didnt know kickers were a downgrade from the stock Alpine soeakers.

About a week ago, I decided that I wanted to get a new module and radio unit for my 2006 H3 Hummer. After looking at local options here in McHenry county, I really wasn’t happy with what I was seeing and it was taking especially long to have an install scheduled. I mean, we were talking about 2 1/2 to 3 weeks out. That even includes places such as Best Buy or ABT. Growing up on the northwest side of Chicago near Lawrence and Elston for almost 30 years, I decided that it was time to go back to my roots and find something that was going to be able to satisfy my needs and on the same day if need be. Hands-down, if you want a car detail, you do it in Chicago, if you want a radio installed, you do it in Chicago. About 20 years ago, a lot of people from Chicago started migrating to McHenry county and that’s good and all but, the best of the best in my opinion has always been in Chicago.So, I called these guys up because the ratings seemed to be legitimate as well as the people leaving the reviews. I mean, it wasn’t somebody just making up a fake Google account to jack up the rating. This past Saturday, I called and spoke to Mohammed. I told him that I would be coming about an hour and a half down from McHenry county and I was looking for a new module along with head unit for my vehicle. I made the drive, spoke to Mohammed and the first thing he told me was, if you just need a new module, why do you want to get a radio unit? I thought, this guy wasn’t out to get my money, he was out to be honest with me and if I wanted something, he would let me make that decision. No pressure whatsoever. After we determined that yes, I needed a new module, I decided that I wanted to get a new unit as well. I decided to go with a Kenwood unit and I also needed something that was going to work with my Sirius XM. Instead of breaking the bank, Mohammed gave me an offer I couldn’t refuse. I mean, he really took care of me and did it all the same day as well. By the way, he did it quicker than any of the major installation chains in the country.How quick?? One hour! From the time I walked in to the time I walked out, the whole process was about three hours because it did take time for him to finish somebody else’s vehicle, look at mine, install the module and then further install the radio unit.During the process, I even went across the street and got a haircut. It was a win-win for me on Saturday and it was worth the hour and a half trip one way to get it done. I hope this review helps you decide that these are the people you want to entrust working on your vehicle. I understand that not every day he’ll be able to get to you in about an hour, but the fact that he was able to juggle multiple vehicles and do it right, that’s top notch customer service at its best!The only issue I had was the wire was not hiding above the headliner and that’s something that took me about one minute to fix when I got home. I’ll definitely be coming back to these guys in the future.As of November 18, 2020, I called to get a price on a radio unit with Bluetooth. I was quoted almost $900. This is for a 2003 Acura MDX. Not sure if it’s new owners or the price of technology went up 200 hundred percent. Dropped my rating down two stars.

I love how these guys, are very helpful....... God bless u guys... Khalil and moe

Love this place! The people are great!

They take care of my vehicles all the time
