  • Couldn’t have asked for better service from the get go

    Had my 79 series landcruiser in there for the works - door pods, speakers, apple car play head unit, under seat subs, amp, gme UHF and a few other bits and pieces. Couldn’t have asked for better service from the get go, Anthony was a pleasure to deal with, and the guys done neat professional work on the job itself, highly recommend

  • I will always be their customer while ever they are still operating.

    These guys are absolutely amazing. I have dealt with them for many years. Michael has always fitted my systems, he is great & very friendly. They have done lots of radio and phone systems in my car and they have always provided wonderful, prompt & friendly service. I have just been there again today as my iPhone cradle broke (after many years) and Anthony fitted a vent magnet for my phone, he was an extremely friendly, happy guy. I will always be their customer while ever they are still operating. The floor staff are excellent and Hannah at the front...

  • Thanks Newcastle Pro Sound for going above and beyond on my car.

    Had new gear put in my Audi TTRS yesterday and when installing they came across a different electrical set up than usual. The installers and sales staff stayed back working late until 8pm on their own time without charging extra. The advice was good and quality of product is excellent. The first place I went for a quote gave me a feeling it was a load of crap to get me to buy the speakers that would give them the best margin and rip me off. So glad I went for a second opinion. Thanks Newcastle Pro Sound for going...

  • Workmanship is awesome - no squeaks, rattles and a "as factory" quality - the workshop team is top end. Firmly recommended!

    Such a professional and courteous outfit! I was the typical high need customer armed with a bunch of unsubstantiated info from the internet.. Hannah knew an awesome amount about what I was looking for and when more info was needed, was honest and followed up on promises to get back to me in a time frame. Anthony understands what you need, knows his stuff and is great to deal with. Through the installation Anthony was a great help, inspected the install at handover with me, showed me how to use the tech! On top of that great support and aftercare....
