Mobile West

I was in having some problems with an amp and deck i had received a few years ago as a gift. There was a whining sound with the accelerator.

Pete was kind enough to let one of the techs troubleshoot it for a bit, and it turned out the amp was the source of the problem. He gave me a great deal on a new deck, and amp, and i have never been happier with my sound system. They do quality work, and are dedicated to make sure you are pleased with anything you receive from them, whether it be product, service, or advice.

I will always use them for my car audio needs, and never hesitate to recommend them. You have a customer for life Pete.

I never write reviews but in this case I am going to make an exception. Mobile West was hands down the best experience I have ever had with any business in Portland, let alone car stereo/electronics. They listened to my car, listened to what I wanted and gave me options on what I could do. The system I decided on was identical in some components, superior (same manufacturer, higher grade) in most when compared to my visit to Car Toys, and yet the price was $1000 less! The installation was flawless. The sound was everything and more than expected. They took the time to make sure I knew the ins and outs of using the system (IPOD, sub, bluetooth phone, etc) and never made me feel rushed. Peter is fantastic to work with. Price, quality components, impeccable workmanship, customer service, and the personal touch is all there. See for yourself, you won't be disappointed.

I've been wanting to play my iPod over my RX-8's car's stereo since I bought the car 4 years ago, but it doesn't have an auxillery input and the dealer told me it wasn't possible. Recently, I read about a solution online that involves plugging an iPod interface into the Satellite Radio input of the existing stereo. I found Mobile West here in these reviews, and decided to give them a call. Peter answered, and as I asked my questions, it was obvious he knew exactly what I needed. Assuming that parts were going to be cheaper online, I asked him what it would cost. Amazingly, the parts were $125 (plus shipping) online and only $90 at his shop (when does that ever happen???). Another great surprise was he immediately told me he had all the parts in stock. I asked when I could come in, and he replied "when do you want to come in?" I said I had the afternoon off and could come in at 3:30pm. He said, "we'll see you then." Too cool -- Nothing is ever this easy. When I got to the shop at the pre-arranged time, Peter had me pull my car right into the garage, brought out all the parts, sat with me in the car, and showed me what everything would look like when it was done. This was really nice since this was a non-standard addition for my car, and I was afraid it might look like it. Fortunately, this was not the case. After that, Peter directed me to a local coffee shop within walking distance, said come back in an hour and it would be ready. To make a long story short, I am very pleased with the solution they recommended, the quality of the work, the customer service, and the cost was exactly what I was quoted on the phone... in fact I can't think of one thing that could have made my experience better (maybe a keg of free beer in the waiting room?). I will be recommending Mobile West to all my friends that need any kind of car audio, video, GPS, phone integration, etc. Thanks!!

I have used mobile west for car audio installs since I was 16 with my first car in 1990. They have always been great, Don is the man, and keeps up to date with all his equipment.
Many places have gone under through the years, but their family business is a model that should be respected.
For those haters, just go to their shop in person and explain your issues, they will go above and beyond to help you out.
I ho[pe for many more years of this business to continue.

For most of us, we have had mixed situations at various car audio operations. Going to Mobile West was a smart decision for me. I have been a client with this company now for a couple of years and have had only straight positive interaction, excellent service and quality products to choose from. Peter has been in this industry along time and from a small business owners perspective, will continue to do so due to his quality as a good and straight forward human being. Thanks Peter
