Upon my return for the remote, I was in and out of there in like forty seconds, half of that was the honest apology, and wishes for my safe trip back out to Ohio. The system got quite a bit of use during the six hour drive, and everything works perfect. Armando Sound solved a problem for me. I've had a CD stuck in my car CD player for quite a few months now.
The last time I took it to the Dealer, Northside Toyota (see that review if you are considering a visit) they told me they would have to remove the player and SHIP IT to the manufacturer. And that would cost Blah-blah-blah this much, which was too much. So I checked my neighborhood Yellow Pages, found Armando Sound, and they got out the CD with no problems for $35.00.
Nice, helpful guys. You can bet I'll go back there when I need a new player. I like the name of the place, too. Sounds like a bay somewhere in Mexico. These guys are great. I called and asked for a quote on the phone they gave me a great estimate and I took my car to them.

This is by far one of the best alarm shops in the city of Chicago , Moe the owner is a technician himself , and takes pride of what he does , I live in Du Page county and I have been going there for years , worth the drive all the way there , they had serviced multiple cars for me , ( alarms , remote starters , after market truck horns , fog lights , in addition to stereo and speakers work ) they are professionals , always a perfect job , and prices are very reasonable no doubt , well recommended

I left not even knowing the app I was using for the remote start eventually would start charging me $10 a month for a subscription to use my remote. That is something that I should have been told about by the person installing the remote start system in my car. had I known I never would have did the drone remote. They didn’t really help me after ward to show me how to use I had to ask them to come out and show me because I couldn’t figure it out on my own. I don’t know how they get so many positive reviews smh as I am on the phone with them they are leaving me on hold joking around while

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

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.

I woke up early and came before the owner arrived. I was greeted and he answered all of my questions. He was very helpful and found exactly what I needed for my car. Installed within an hour and I was on my way. I will definitely be going back for different services. You can appreciate honesty and quality workmanship from him and his crew.

I had seen the awesome reviews for this place so they had been my first choice to see if they could help me with some audio/navigation issues I was having with my car. Mohammed came out to my car to check it out. He said he would have to place a couple phone calls and get back to me in a day or two, ok cool. Never heard back in the time range he had given me, so I called him and conveniently he wasn't there at the moment. I left a message and was told he would call me back. Needless to say over a week has passed and nobody ever called. It's fine if you can't help me but at least

These guys nailed it! Great customer service and explained everything in great detail when I went to pick up my car.
I got the drone remote start installed and it is the most amazing thing I've ever seen. Highly recommend it. I wouldn't trust anyone else to install this except these guys.
Price is about $520 plus tax but worth every penny. Go to Armando Sounds for your remote start needs!

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

I grew up a few blocks away from Armando Sounds and this place is consistently busy every time I pass by. This means something. I purchased a new car and wanted to have a remote starter feature in light of the polar vortex predicted in 2020. I was met by Kal, who immediately showed me my options in the most patient of ways. He explained all of the features of each system he had (and he had many), and instead of "up selling" the most expensive system, he suggested that I choose one that was reasonably priced and yet met all of my needs. Their reputation is rock solid, and I'm

I had as excellent a shopping trip as possible to Armando Sounds earlier today. I bought a used car a week ago & I wanted to get Bluetooth installed. I went to Armando Sounds for the first time based only on location. A man named Kal helped me. Not only was he incredibly thorough and knowledgeable in letting me know my options, he offered to come outside to be sure that I knew what products & services that I actually needed. He spent more time looking at & trying out the already installed sound system; by the time we were done, I had a clear understanding of what my car came equipped

These guys know what they're doing. I had my remote starter installed for 2 years now and I have ZERO issues on my 2008 Subaru Legacy.
Its also FREE to remove your unit if ever decide to get a new vehicle. But be ready to pay a heafty fee for installation. This is why I'm only giving this a 4 star.
If you don't ever plan on removing your unit on your car this is the place to go. But if you plan on switching vehicles, you may want to reconsider other options.

I decided that I​ was really sick of the audio system​ that came with my 2017 RAV 4. The map app was horrible! I went with these guys because​ of great reviews on Yelp.
They were worth every star ratting. Mohammed (Moe) the owner and his staff were​ fantastic​!!!
He made sure, I didn't​ buy more product then I​ needed, overlooked​ the complete installation​​,and was very patient with me, explaining the features to me after the installation​. It looks clean and beautiful!
I should​ have done this a long​ time ago.
Car Play is amazing, and the Pioneer unit he recommendedâ€

Great Customer service! Went here to get a remote start along with some led headlights and fog lights and I'm very happy with everything. If your looking for a remote start or any kind of vehicle customization this is your place! Drove over an hour to come to this place because of all the reviews and the reviews don't lie!

Amazing job with my windows! They stand behind the work they do. Life of the car warranty. Good quality tint as well as time of process and greeting. The Price is right for the work and the quick response to any questions. Moe was also able to show me other products and feed back on what the car would look best for my likes.

I initially thought this place was great, this my 5-Star review. However, their work is extremely poor and rushed. I had a new stereo and back-up camera installed. I have a Jeep Wrangler so I was concerned about water damage. Therefore I requested that all connections be soldered and heat shrinked. I even stated that I would pay extra but they said that they would do it free of charge.... Well they didn't.
I came to find out that when hooking up my back-up camera, the technician obviously didn't know what he was doing. The technician spliced in to every wire connected to my rear tailight
