Method Sound - Costa Mesa, California

I had a great experience with Method Sound for the installation of a backup camera in my boyfriend’s car! Michael was fantastic; responsive, friendly, gave fair pricing, and he fit me in his schedule a lot sooner than I was expecting. Very quick turn around time, and we know that it was done well. Will definitely be coming back and referring friends.

Let me just start this off by saying the time spent and the service done at method sound was top notch. Michael was very up front about his pricing and how he wanted to do the service he explained were and how he would deal with the wire situation as well as recording me a better stereo then the one I had originally brought him to install. He was also very passionate about the job he does and it shows in the way he goes about his past customers and cars in has worked on. it was very easy to schedule a date to leave the car and the best thing of all I got it back the same day!!! The communication as he did the work was amazing constant calls and texts with photos showing the process and explaining were things were going and how much longer it would take. Best thing of all he was able to please my father who is a very picky guy as he himself works on cars as a side hustle after his full time job.

Just for reference Michael and his team installed a new stereo and a front and rear dash camera on my c6 corvette, one I had recently purchased from a elderly couple which had garage queened it. I had no plans to upgrade the stock stereo but radio gets older eventually...

Will come back in the future if I ever plan to do a similar job again

extra point is he even integrated custom steering wheel controls on to my wheel which I use daily!

Michael has repaired and installed factory stereos and Bluetooth systems for me for over 10 years. His work is impeccable, better than the dealers, and sometimes while I wait. I've also seen his custom installations, and have been blown away by his knowledge and workmanship. With Michael, I always know the work will be done with utmost skill, and per the schedule. He'll be installing a new system in my ski boat this year. It means a lot to me that I can completely rely on Michael for exemplary on-time work. Bravo!

Method Sound did a beautiful job installing rear speakers into my Mercedes. It was a custom install into the deck area and extremely well done. If you want excellent quality, high end work, this is the place to go! Dealing directly with the highly skilled owner. It just doesn't get any better than this. I highly recommend Micheal & Method Sound!

Michael is by far the most knowledgeable person i've ever spoken to about Car Audio. In 2016 he installed a system in my BMW that was so amazing that when someone rear ended and totaled my car, my immediate concern was for the amplifiers and subwoofers he installed in my trunk.

I then bought a new BMW and had a hard time enjoying driving it because the quality of BMW sound systems is just so horrible.

Michael was the the only person I trusted with such a delicate task so I scheduled an appointment with him and dropped off my car late at night since I live so far away and couldn't make it during the daytime. He kept me updated, sending me short videos of different parts of the install and it was obvious that he is extremely passionate about car audio.

The sound quality in my car now sounds amazing, just like the first time. I love the fact that I never have to mess with the settings on the amps regardless of the type of music I'm playing. He tunes them to the correct settings and he does it right, which makes a big difference.

His prices are a little high compared to other shops but rightfully so. He does everything the way it's supposed to be done and takes absolutely no shortcuts. His time is valuable and his work is excellent. I am very grateful I found him.

Incredible custom system hand built in this fantastic shop. Michael knows what he is doing, and made my car sound like no other. For someone like me who rarely sets foot in another shop for work, I was comfortable to know it was in capable confident hands. The results of the install are beyond my expectations, OEM fit and finish, unparalleled sound quality. Great job Michael.

I have been in the car audio game for years and have been to high level and low level shops. I decided to try Method Sound because when I walked into Mike’s shop his tools were clean and well organized. My father was a mechanic who took very good care of his tools and always told me if a guy doesn’t take care of his tools. You think he is going to take great care of your car. When I talked to Mike over the next couple days, he was restoring the interior of a BMW M3. M3’s are collectors items, and worth a lot of $...I thought...if he’s good enough to be trusted with an M3...he’s good enough to work on my car. I was not disappointed!!! The labor is not cheap...but you get what you pay for! And Mike was upfront with the estimate and never went over budget. He also used top of the line cables and connectors! Anyone who has ever installed a car stereo knows the devil is in the details! And to mind the details takes more time and patience. My car came out and it completely exceeded my expectations! It has been about 6 months and I now consider Mike a friend...if you have a bmw, Mercedes, Lamborghini are any custom car that you cherish I would trust Mike and PAY him to do the install without a doubt. What people don’t understand is at the bigger shops or low end shops, there is usually the manager or owner that is very knowledgeable and experienced...but to deal with the volume he hires inexperienced helpers that he can pay cheaply to increase production...and you go back there and some 16 year old kid that doesn’t know what he is doing is hacking into your car...to...”gain experience”! That is not the level of workmanship that I demand! If you want quality craftsmanship...trust Mike...he will take care of the vehicle that you cherish!

I have tried more car audio shops than I care to admit and have spent way more money over the past five years than any sane person should on trying to get my M3's system the way I want it. I finally found Method Sound a couple years ago. Michael is a perfectionist, has my best interests in mind, and REALLY knows what he's doing. I am a very picky person, and Michael meets all of my expectations every time. I have referred friends to Method Sound who have been equally as happy. Highly recommended.
