Chandler Client Gets 2008 BMW X3 Technology Updates

A client from Chandler, Arizona, came to Handcrafted Car Audio in search of BMW X3 technology updates for his 2008 model. Since the SUV was almost a decade old, he wanted to modernize its features to make it safer to drive with navigation and smartphone integration solutions. We searched high and low for a cost-effective installation […]

Cream of the Crop! As a vendor of Handcrafted Car Audio, Jon has, on more than one occasion, repaired/handled an installation for us directly. He is the premier shop in his area, and always has been 100% professional and honest in all aspects. We have asked him on multiple occasions to repair another shop/installers work and every single issue was completed in a timely manner and resulted in very happy... » Read More

Flawless Service, Flawless Drone After doing some online research, I called Jon to discuss the remote starter and security system that I wanted to have installed in my brand new 2013 Nissan Titan Pro 4x. I was looking to keep this vehicle for a decade or more, and I wanted to install a top of the line system. During our phone conversation, I decided to make an appointment with Jon... » Read More

Best car audio place in the valley. You will not find better brands any were else. I am currently working 75 hours a week and don’t have time to go in to audio shops and try to find an amp that is worth buying. I was sending text to Jon on breaks or between customers and he ended up finding me amp that I didn’t think I had the money... » Read More

QUALITY! I was looking for a shop to install an audison full DA system in my new truck. I wanted to make sure that whoever did the install was familiar with this type of setup. After months of calling around,visiting shops and online research I wasn't having any luck. I happened to be on audison's web site and found an audison preferred dealers list. Unfortunatley there wasn't any here in... » Read More

Jon and his team are consummate professionals. I have had three vehicles worked on at handcrafted (audio, parking sensors, window tint). The completed work at Handcrafted always exceeds my expectations. The Handcrafted folks understand and work to your requirements and provide solutions that meet and exceed those requirements. They are very skilled at installation and provide you with options for you to make informed decisions. They have recently made my... » Read More

Very pleased with the service! I went in to check on a remote started but didn't think I would be able to get it done because I was leaving the state the following week, but Jon got me in the next day and it was done in just a few hours. He made sure I knew how everything worked and told me to call him if I had any problems.... » Read More

Great service and very clean shop. They did a radio installation on my moms accord and she couldn't be happier. She loves the bluetooth capability and the price of it all. No surprises at the register. Definitely will be bringing my Tahoe to then soon. Customers for life. Thank you James for helping her make the right decision and not pressuring her into a more expensive radio. Nick thank you... » Read More

Top Notch Professional Installation After looking around for a few weeks I came across Handcrafted Car Audio. They installed a Sony in dash gps unit along with their top remote care starter and alarm. The Installation was well done and everything was done quickly and very professional. Jon took the time on a Sat right before Christmas knowing that I was leaving town soon and showed me how to navigate... » Read More

2012 IS350C F-Sport Prior to coming to Handcrafted Car Audio, I did my due diligence and researched the company along with many others. Just purchased a new, top of the line, rare car and needed the best care and products installed (I'm kinda anal about my ride). After meeting with Jon, he took the time to explain the best set- up for me and walked me through the entire process... » Read More

Jon has done 2 installs for me in the past. Each time, I have walked away very satisfied. His work exceeded my expectations on both occasions. I recently had a head unit installed, and the kit was designed to eliminate my stock lcd screen which displayed the A/C controlls. Instead of eliminating the lcd screen, he studied the components and figured out a way to keep the screen there. I... » Read More

I consider myself a very, very picky consumer, especially when it comes to my vehicle. Out of the many choices in the PHX area, I chose this shop because they carried the brand I needed (number one), but number two his youtube videos online of how professional and organized his shop was is what really sold me. Jon is a pro and knows what he is doing. After meeting him,... » Read More

Jon and staff upgraded my 2998 Infiniti hard top convertible with a new Pioneer head unit, and replaced the existing Bose Amp and some speakers with Audison products. The sound quality/improvement is outstanding. The job was particularly challenging since Infiniti/Bose did a "special" fabrication for some of their vehicles that model year, and wiring diagrams did not match what was supposed to be in the vehicle during fabrication. These folks... » Read More

These guys did an excellent job replacing the factory stereo in my BMW. I initially met with Jon to share my concerns and explain what I was looking for. We quickly arrived at a package that addressed my needs. Jon didn't try to push any products that I didn't need. He simply answered my questions and explained my options. The installation was clean, and afterward they showed me how to... » Read More

THE MAN in phoenix I am a custom car audio installer in San Jose, CA 🙂 www.simplicityinsound.com...and I have to say, having met Jon and seen his work, if I lived in the greater PHX area, i would rather pay him to work my own car than do it myself...and i think thats the highest compliment someone in my field can pay to a peer. Don't hesitate to go here,... » Read More

Refreshing change As pretty much everyone before me has said, the unparalleled professionalism of Jon and his shop are above and beyond what can be said in a simple online review. From the moment I first walked into the shop, I knew that this was the only place I would feel completely at ease with leaving my baby (2012 Evo X) in their hands. Jon took the time to listen... » Read More

I'm not a pro. I haven't kept up with car audio in so long I still call it car stereo. So it was my wife's birthday and the head end in her 2004 Avalon ate a CD and wouldn't let go. I understand that happens. So time for a new system. And, I thought, why not beef up the sound a bit while we're at it. Not sure quite how... » Read More

After having some work done by another installer. I went to see Jon at Handcrafted Car Audio. He did not try to placate me and he was very factual about what he would do. The end result is that I am completely satisfied with the work done. He went the extra mile for me when I thought I had a problem with the system (turned out to be a loose... » Read More

2004 Porsche C4S I knew where I wanted to go with my system, but didn’t completely know how to get there. What I needed was this: a stealth install that upgraded the speakers and amplifiers, retained the oem head unit, possibly added a sub, and minimized any weight increase. After some internet research, I came across Handcrafted Car Audio in Chandler, AZ. I appreciated their stated approach to mobile audio... » Read More

I have been to many stereo shops over the years, this place is different from the rest. Now if you don’t care who works on your car and do your shopping based on price alone this place is not for you. If you care about your car and want it worked on by a true professional who has real talent and passion about what he does. Check this place out! » Read More

THIS IS THE PLACE Hey, if you're looking for a "TOP NOTCH" audio adviser/installer in the Phoenix Valley, stop. This is it. Handcrafted Car Audio has the best shop in town and perhaps the South West. You Vegas guys, pay attention too. I have been in this industry.. we call it "12volts" - for most of my life. That's 30+ years, you don't need to know more detail than that.... » Read More

I first became acquainted with Jon Kowanetz and Handcrafted Car Audio in July 2009. I was in the process of developing a high-end audio system in one of my vehicles and had sought out the services of a quality-oriented professional installer.From our first meeting, I realized Jon was different from most other car audio pros I had previously dealt with. He listened to my desires, asked appropriate questions, and made... » Read More

Excellent customer service! Over the pastt 20 years I've been to several so called car audio and alarm shops in the valley. I have never been as pleased with the installation of my truck alarm and the customer service that I received at Handcrafted. Additionally, none of these other shops gave me a tour or took the time to explain why they recommend the products that they sell. Handcrafted's ownership... » Read More

My wife and I had just purchased a brand new Toyota Prius...a big change for us in all aspects...especially now being without her remote start here in the desert. After a lot of research and great discussions with Nik Edmonds...he convinced me to bring the car in and let them add remote start for us. I was thoroughly impressed by the attention to detail and that they went above and... » Read More

Jon is the effing man! Just finished rebuilding a 65 mustang and my system was the finishing touch, Jon installed custom kick panels, sub box and amp rack in a day at an awesome price. Not to mention great service, later on I screwed up some wiring to my fan, Jon saw me in a parking lot trying to fix it, he took time to pull over and help me... » Read More

First Class I found Handcrafted after being disappointed with another store in the Mesa area. I did some other searches online and found Handcrafted. I set up an appointment to meet with Jon. When I met Jon, I knew that I had found the shop for which I had been looking. He really cares about getting the best sound for you and listens to your opinion on what you want.... » Read More

Jon and his staff are simply the very best… bar none! I have a 2007 S550 Mercedes that I prize very much…as in “I’m a Jewish mother” when it comes to my wonderful automobile. I had Jon install a super set of DVD players for the rear seats and he’s going to be putting in a remote starter, (really necessary for the Arizona 116 degree days). Jon’s prices are very... » Read More
