Whistle Stop

Would recommend this to everyone! I brought them a stereo and speakers I previously purchased and went above and beyond to find the equipment they needed to install it for me. It looks great and sounds great it. The people are so friendly and nice, loved it!

Personally, I could never ever work in this place, because I would go insane listening to door alarms and horns going off while installing alarms. How Charles does it, I’ll never know, but you can’t go wrong here. From car alarms to steareos and door locks and a whole buncha other thingamajigs that that this guy has insight on how to do and install.
First off, uou have an honest person that tells you the basics of what you need without gouging your pocketbook. And he will also tell you that you don’t need something as well. He’s just upfront with his products.
Remember to call first, because Charles is sometimes busy out in the field doing installations as well.

I found this store from Unilocal because its review. I met Dan who is professional and nice. He gave very good introduction about the rear view camera. Today, I bring my car I for installation. Finally I met Charles who was mentioned in other review. He is passionate about his work. Caring and professional and find best way to make thing work. I definitely will recommend to others.

I have never done this before, But I am writing a review before the work is done, and the reason is simple… I have been looking for a place to install my stereo for a couple of weeks and every where I have gone I have been made feel either crazy or dumb… I don’t pretend to know about it, that’s why I go to professionals.
Well that all changed yesterday when I went to whistle stop. Charles could not have been more helpful and honest… he was full of knowledge and steered me in all the right directions.
I told him I was hoping to keep my stock back up camera and he said they will do what they can but they will make it work.
He then called me a couple of hours later to tell me there was a harness I could get that will make it work… remember this was saving me $ 200 and he was losing a sale of a camera… this is the kind of professional honesty that we don’t see very often.
It was a pleasure to deal with them already. honesty is hard to find in this business as I have learned before. so I will update this after my work is done… but having this much confidence in this company already tends to ease the mind and let you know your car is in good hands.
Have to say a big thanks to all the Unilocalers that recommend this place… otherwise I may never have found it

I couldn’t be happier with Whistle Stop. Charles is a man of his word, and very friendly. Price is reasonable and got the car back in 2 hours. I was looking to get a car alarm for my husband for Father’s Day and stumbled on these wonderful reviews. I knew that there were many shops nearby that installed car alarms but I didn’t want to go with just anyone. I want things done right the first time around and that’s exactly what I got. The alarm is awesome and my husband is thrilled. I plan on using his alarm services in the future and will definitely recommend Whistle Stop to everyone I know. Thank you so very much, Charles!

I have been going here for a few years they/​Charles has done everything for me. He is honest and doesn’t try to upsell just tries to get you what you need. I remember a while back my car got broke into 2 days before we were going to install the alarm. This was a Sat. he took me in after hours and worked on it until a little after midnight. He wanted to make sure I was safe and I appreciate that. Being a woman and having a young man treat with respect and honesty means a lot these days. I would give more stars if I could!!!

I went to Whistle Stop because my last stereo installer was rude and dishonest. I had issues with my subwoofer, so I asked Charles to recheck the wiring. He took apart the panels and replaced some pinned wires under the hood. I asked what I owed for labor but he didn’t even charge me. The next week, I installed a subwoofer myself with no success. Brought it to Whistle Stop, and they fixed the problem in an hour. Charged me an unbelievably low price. The customer service is great. They’re not trying to push products on you that you don’t need. I will going back to upgrade my system again and I would definitely recommend this place to anyone.

Had my alarm installed for my vehicle and done a great job. They even fix my speaker that was on a fritz. Planning to come back again when I get my accessories for my vehicle for upgrades. Charles was awesome and great customer service. Thank you again.

Great service with installation and all. But lack of staff. That’s not appealing. A call was made only to find out from some dude stating they won’t be back for 2 hours
Not a good business practice

These guys did a great job on my 2012 RAM! I would recommend these guys any day See Charles if you want he’s the best

This place is seriously the best in Covina on account of their customer service and quality work. Charles is the friendliest shop owner I have ever met. He took time out of his lunch to service my trucks radio. The selflessness of this extra– ordinary deed as made me a customer for life. Plus, after analyzing the problem with my radio he fixed it in under 10 minutes.
Just wonderful, such a good a place. Please go and support a well operated small business in little ol’ Covina.

Charles squeezed me in last minute and still did a fantastic job! I’m totally comfortable calling or stopping by if I have any problems, or simply questions. He takes good care of his customers!

The guy’s at whistle stop are GREAT! I have a Chevy Silverado and had a alarm system installed and custom sub installed by Charles and his crew at whistle stop. They did such a GREAT JOB! When my girl got her new Chevy Avalanche we went back to have her alarm and custom sub installed. And again they did a GREAT JOB! Clean work, Great Customer Service, and they stand behind their work! I highly recommend them to anyone looking to have high quality work done to there vehicle.
THANKS WHISTLE STOP!!!

I brought in my ’62 truck to get an alarm and auto door locks. she gave them a bit a trouble but I really appreciate the time they took to get it done right. they have great customer service and workmanship as my alarm and door locks have been working great! I will definitely be back to get more work done by whistle stop. I highly recommend them.

I recently had backup cameras installed in some 2013 work trucks. This was far from the normal «stereo shop» experience. Dan carefully explained the details of the installation, the component options and the costs without a hint of the uncomfortable sales pressure that one usually undergoes when purchasing aftermarket automotive electronics. Dan even went so far as to mention that he was going to do a little due diligence to make sure that the components were completely compatible with the Sync Ford system.
The installation came out perfect and the cost was actually significantly lower than a local competitor. Whistle Stop is a great local resource for automotive electronics.

Whistle Stop is the best quality and most honest business I have ever entrusted my car to. I wish they performed vehicle maintenance… because I would certainly be taking my car there for all its needs. That being said, if you need an alarm system, stereo, speakers, or to have your car door locks fixed, they are the place to go.
They are always polite, friendly and quick and you cannot beat their prices.
I first went to Whistle Stop about a year ago. My aunt suggested them saying that they could fix my locks in the backseat of my car. I was skeptical. I had taken my car to a few other places, and the estimates I got were around $ 200 per door. So I had given up on that.
I went to Whistle Stop just to humor my aunt, expecting that they would give me a similar estimate which I could not afford… well they ended up doing it for about $ 60 per door and were extremely quick!
They do a lot of custom jobs for cars, but no job is ever too small for them. I have brought in my remote clicker to be fixed, and they treat it just like any other job.
The great thing about them is when they give you an estimate, they are not planning on jacking up the price. In fact, every single time I have been there they end up charging me LESS than what the originally estimated the cost to be.
If you are looking for a great deal, friendly service and a selection that cannot be beat, I highly recommend that you go to Whistle Stop!

Great Place! The service was excellent and very professional. Honest and up from didn’t try to sell me anything I didn’t need. In fact he saved me money! I would definetly recommend Whistle Stop to a friend!

Whistle stop is the best!!! Charles is the man!!! I took my rx lexus 450h to get a vais technology system installed and I had the best experience with Charles! He took such good care of me and the car:) he is really the best and he knows his stuff… He is a good communicator and so honest… A real straight shooter… He strives to get things right! he is meticulous which is what you want when you are installing a delicate radio system. I really appreciate the time and effort Charles took with installing the complicated media link plus system. You won’t be disappointed with the technicians or the price:)! great service! can’t go wrong! and remember to be patient as sometimes delicate technology can take awhile! the key is if you want it done right then come here!

Just had a very complicated alarm system installed here, and Dan and the crew here are top notch. One of the parts from the alarm system I brought in was defective, and basically him and I were working our butts off to get the problem solved, which took much longer than he originally quoted me for. They went truly far above and beyond any level of service that they were obligated to provide to make sure that my car was running and everything was installed correctly. Any automotive place that gets 5 stars from me is definitely the crème de la crème. Dan is an electrical genius, honest, and a friendly down to earth professional. If you need any audio or alarm work done; get your butt over here double time and let them know I sent you. :) They will take care of your car for certain.
