Best

I cannot say nice enough things. Low key but super-knowledgable. They are always willing to go the extra mile. They do cool custom work as well. Peter, the owner is amazing. ...

Worst

Had SAT radio installed on brand new truck. Peter was very nice but after install I found razor blades and trash in my new car. Some scratches on the dash and left it dirty all ov...

You will never walk away unhappy. 9/22/2010

I have been a customer of Mobile West for over 20 years. I haven't let anyone else touch my car's electronics since 1991. I continue to use them because of the absolute superior customer service they provide. One of the guys has been there for 10 years, and the lead installer has been with the company since it was founded, so Peter must be doing something right to keep his employees for so long in the service industry. They go so far and above anybody in the area that provides similar service. I have had a couple of problems in the course of all that time, but one of reason I continue going to them is because if I have had problem they take it back and fix it immediately. It is almost like they take it personally. The number of problems I have had with them is infinitesimal compared to what I have had with other installers. Everyone makes mistakes eventually, but they are great about handling it. One thing I always tell people is that you won't walk away unhappy, ever. more

best in town, no doubt 6/29/2010

I have had plenty of work done at mobile west and have been very satisfied every time. On my last visit i had to have some things replaced and was quoted a price. When i returned to pick up my car the actual price was significantly higher but Peter still charged me the quoted price. I also transitioned from 2 10's to 2 12's and they bought the 10" box back from me. overall my experiences here have been great and i would definitely recommend that you stop by! Pros: great service, quick install, knowledgable staff, fair price Cons: none more

Product Experts, Customer Service Excellance 6/26/2010

Needed a new Car Stereo for a Eurovan we just purchased. Spoke by phone to the guys at Fryes after several attempts to get though.. frustrating experience and just couldn't face going there in person to brave the hoards to purchase... found Mobil West on CitySearch with terrific reviews. Website only showed Alpine higher end indash heads.. out of my budget. Called and spoke with Matt who reassured me that they would have an excellant product in my price range. Explained what I needed and they had it in my price range... a bit higher then Fryes but totally worth the extra bucks to avoid the big store hassel.. Install was done immediately in 1 hour and Matt gave me an inservice on operation basics once it was installed.. I will need another unit in a few months for a different vehicle and I will definately return to Mobile West Pros: no bulls$%t Cons: none more

Great experience 3/21/2010

A couple weeks back I decided to get an iPhone hookup for my car. I called a few places and Mobile West was the only place I got a good vibe from over the phone. That was about 9:45am. They got me in around 11:30 THAT DAY and I told them I had to work at 2:00 and wondered if I should come back the next day for my car. They said they'd get it done by 1:30 THAT DAY and to come back around then! Pros: Friendly, extremely quick, great product and installation more

Great experience at Mobile West 2/6/2010

I had a great experience at Mobile West. My car speakers weren't working, and they determined that the problem was with the radio, not the speakers. They installed a new radio right away, and the price was very reasonable. Matt was very helpful, and the service was great oveall. Pros: quick work, good price Cons: none more

Great expierence 2/1/2010

Well I went on in because i saw so many great reviews. I am a guy who gets somewhat overwhelmed buying a big purchase. I got some equipment off the web and went in and was asking questions on if i should buy an amp or not. This is where i was amazed. he said since you got your headunit from the interent he wouldnt reccomend the amp because it might fry the car. That is cool service, i mean like some sales men could say no you need an amp and charge you up the wazhoo. even though i prob would of purchased the amp. I really appreciate him telling me the truth. From now on, mobile west earned by business. no more hoping to get a good product and gamble, I am just going to go there. Pros: Easy to talk to, Professional, Quick more

No clearer choice. 11/23/2009

From selection of gear to the finished product this company has it down. They know their stuff. I was even dropped back off at work when my car was being worked on. Stellar guys. Peter has a good thing going. I will be there again. Thanks. Pros: everything Cons: none more

The Best in Town! 9/10/2009

I got a DVD player, cd player, ipod, navigation system installed yesterday and Peter took great care of me! I'm planning a road trip this weekend just so I can play with my new toy. This business is highly recommended, 5 Stars! Pros: Independently Owned and Operated more

Save time and start here! 9/2/2009

After pricing and listening to many systems at Car Toys and Frye's a friend referred me to Mobile West. Peter sent me a quote and his prices were in-line with the competition. Well, when he said I wouldn't believe the quality of the speakers his shop carried I had to hear them for myself. Being an audiophile, I have very high standards. Peter's claim of "unbeatable sound" was true, true, true. Mobile West built a custom sub and installed everything behind my factory mounts. You'd never know I have a rocking system until I turn it on. Pros: Service, quality products, unbeatable sound! Cons: None! more

Best in the Business 8/13/2009

This place is tops! Peter helped make a sound system for my car that has amazing clarity...and lots of power! The experience was fabulous, he even gave me his car to drive home while I left mine to be installed. I KNOW he went out of his way to make me a deal! I will be back soon to add that subwoofer!! The Hertz Mille speakers are so crisp, and the Hertz coax's in the rear really give a complete bliss around you. Pros: Peter! Great Installers! Great Equipment! Cons: I couldn't afford the MLK3's...LOL!! more

Excellent customer service 8/4/2009

I decided to switch out my seven year old factory stereo for something that I could connect my iPod to and which included Bluetooth hands-free support. Peter spent a lot of time explaining feature sets and helping me compare several available options. He was very patient and didn't pressure me at all. Pros: Professional attitude and high quality work more

Expert advice and fantastic customer service 7/29/2009

Peter, the owner, is a great listener and quickly understood what I was trying to do and recommend a product that suited my needs even better than what I was originally looking for. Pros: Experience, friendly and customer oriented Cons: Not open on Sundays more

They did right by me! 7/23/2009

It seemed like they had a busy day yesterday, but I came away very satisfied. I had the guys replace my radio and speakers, and I was impressed with how good it sounds! I know I have a difficult vehicle to work on (mercedes) and they were tring to fit me in, but they did a great job. Peter took the time (even though the phone kept ringing) to let me hear the difference between speakers and decks, and when it was done, Carlos (who worked on my car) showed me how everything works.... It was great! I don't know what the other guy was talking about.....I've got to do my wife's car next. Pros: Best customer service, great work Cons: They seem to be pretty busy at times more

Honesty, Patience & Quality 6/27/2009

This was the THIRD place I tried to work with to get a car stereo installed in my vehicle. As a young female with relatively no knowledge about car stereos/audio, I had faced trouble with two other locations in finding something that suited my needs. In the end, I felt a little pushed around -- overcharged and left with less-than-quality products in my vehicle. I may not know much about car stereo systems, but I certainly have a good ear and can tell when something is below par. more

This place is THE BEST! 6/20/2009

I went in on Friday the 19th looking to replace my stereo that was stolen. I wish I would have found these guys a week ago when I had an alarm installed! They were SUPER nice, friendly and didn't treat me like I was an idiot because I am female. They understood my budget and didn't push me to buy what I couldn't afford. They even fixed my hatch release that the alarm installer (NOT Mobile West) hadn't reconnected. And they didn't charge me. They were also kind enough to bring to my attention that I had a flat. They put air in my tire and directed me down the street toLes Schwab. I have been telling all of my friends how great these guys are. Thanks Mobile West for making my stereo shopping easy and stress free!!!! Pros: They go above and beyond. Cons: Parking more

Peter and his crew ROCKS! 6/9/2009

I met Peter and his guys last year. Since then he has installed a complete Exile/Alpine system in my T100 with bluetooth hands free setup. He then showed me in my saab that you can hear the difference between my old sony and my new Alpine. Damn. I own an auto shop. I get angry at cars. Driving home (30 mile commute) every night in cars that Mobile West has equipped with great stereos makes me LOVE driving again!. I have heard many car stereos, being in the business and all, but I have never heard how great it can sound when somebody as knowledgeable and skilled as Peter and his crew get it done right. The first time. For a fair price. The best part is they are a small local company. Why go to Car Toys when you can talk to someone who knows who you are when they answer the phone. I refer all my customers to Mobile West, and would advise anyone in Portland who wants gps, navigation, stereos, or any mobile electronics to see these guys. They are the best I have ever dealt with, and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone. PERIOD! Pros: My cars have never sounded better Cons: Huh? more

Great Service, but do your homework 5/13/2009

I had Peter and crew install a deck, speakers, amp, dynamat and sub in my Tacoma. They did a great job and the system sounds sweet. I had shopped them against other shops and they were fairly priced and were very easy to deal with. I had some other dealers try to push me into equipment I didn't need or swing for the fences in their pricing...They did a great job on the system and I have recommended them to all of my friends. I also had them install a handsfree system which came out great. I recently went in to have a satellite radio installed in my other car, and didn't think twice about shopping it since I had dealt with them a few times before. Turns out I was charged $179.00 for a unit that lists at $129.00, and can be found all over the internet for $99.00. On top of that I was charged an additional $35.00 installation....I blame myself for not doing the research first. So, while I think that Mobile West is the best place in Portland to get a stereo installed, and I believe they are honest, make sure you know the current pricing of your equipment before you go in there- you could end up paying a lot more than you should, like I did. They do good work, but I won't be going back. Pros: Easy to deal with, locally owned Cons: pricing more

Peter knows customer service 4/28/2009

I told Peter how much I wanted to spend. He listened to my current system and set me up with six really nice speakers, rather than trying to talk me into an entirely new system. The installers had me back on the road quickly. If only it was this nice and easy buying from ALL retailers! Pros: great service, convenient location Cons: none more

Outside the box 2/12/2009

I had previously purchased a used phone with Mobile West and had an okay experience. So when I needed a simple fuse for my amp I went to three different places unable to find what I needed. I then remembered they were right down the street and headed straight there, went in and asked what seemed a futile request for a simple fuse. Who ever he was he took me into the shop, pulled out a couple of fuses and I asked how much and he said how 'bout a buck. Thanks for doing what a national chain or what a corporate peon couldn't have done. I'll be heading back whenever I need something they offer. Pros: Got what I needed Cons: Had to go three places before i headed here. more

Excellent customer service AND professional install? No way! 1/28/2009

My excellent experience with Mobile West started with the very first phone call. Peter was so pleasant and friendly, I thought I had the wrong number. Every shop I've ever dealt with seemed as if they were doing me a favor in helping me and if you're a mobile audio n00b like me, the service gets even worse. I brought my new Tundra to Mobile West to correct an issue from an install from another mobile audio outfit referred to me by my dealer (almost no bass coming from the sub and the speakers clipping something fierce). Needless to say the problems were many, but easily remedied by Peter and his installers. Pros: Prompt, Professional, Exceedingly rare customer service Cons: I'll have to agree with the last reviewer on the free chocolates. :D more
