โI am really satisfied with Audio Cityโs extraordinary level of competence. Their professionalism is genuinely amazing, and they are without a doubt the most authoritative and reasonably priced establishment in Christchurch.โ
โThey accommodated me late afternoon for a radio (Grunding) purchase and car audio installation. They even provided a heater in their office for me and my kid as we waited. Installation time was acceptable, and they even accommodated a request to rearrange some cables to make it seem neater.โ

โWe recently had an Apple CarPlay stereo installed in our Nissan Note, which works with the back camera and steering wheel controls. Highly satisfied with the pricing and service.โ
โVery happy with the upgraded stereo and camera in my Suzuki Escudo. Preet simply needed a couple of hours on short notice to accommodate everything because I am from Ashburton.โ

โOEM Audio replaced my carโs Japanese navigation system with their Android system. Iโm very satisfied with the enjoyable service and high-quality stereo. They connected it to the steering wheel controls, reversing camera, and existing Bose speakers, which radically transformed the vehicle. The large screen allows for easy navigation and looks fantastic on the dashboard.โ
โSuch an amazing group to work with โ after purchasing a car without a functional car stereo, I chose to install an OEM sound system in my vehicle. Despite multiple issues with the system install, the guys at OEM Audio were extremely quick and attentive to help fix every issue, including replacing the new unit at one point.โ

โI had two band expanders fitted on two very new Toyotas. They employ high-quality items manufactured locally in Canterbury. The installations could not have been done more quickly or easily. The staff were very friendly.โ
โI highly recommend Soundworks, who installed a new Kenwood stereo and reversing camera in our car. From my initial email contact with Nick until the completion of the job, everything went well, and we couldnโt be happier with the changes.โ

โI had a really pleasant buying experience and received the things I desired. I did not notice anyone frowning despite the fact that I was holding them up from closing hours, thanks to a quick help from the personnel, notably all of the staff who worked Sunday the day before Waitangi. Thank you. Keep up the wonderful work, guys!โ

โThe men did a terrific job assisting me with the installation of a car stereo head unit on short notice. The job took longer than expected, but I was not charged for the additional time. Nice individuals and outstanding support.โ
โThey fixed my car audio quickly, told me how to fix it if it happened again, and did not even charge me.โ
