Dishonest business practices and avoid
Deceitful business practices and was served by an arrogant and dishonest salesman [name removed]. Had a front camera, Alpine Type Rs and Kicker Key amp installed. Was advised that they don’t stock the Kenwood cmos-320 cameras and the camera they have are better display, even though it’s listed on their website. The camera fitted display’s was terrible and my factory camera was better. After the install job they refused to give the mic which comes with the amp. Only after contacting Kicker directly and was forced to hand this over, was the mic returned. Even when picking this up they were still hesitant to give it and their installer making smart butt comment about having 50 mics if I wanted.

Some good, more not good though
Oct 2018 I bought pair of component speakers, pair of 3 way speakers and an amp. The amp was ex demo. In December 2018 I went back for double din dab head unit and Ford Focus facia. I never installed in the focus having turned the car over in June 2022 to a Kuga. I finally got around to installing speakers and amp but had the amp wiring performed by Sound Master Granville (closer to me) in Nov 2022. Amp was dead. So went into Strathfield car radio and they accepted that amp I bought 13 months earlier had only just had its first install and that...Read more
they would recognise warranty if needed. (that was great). Anyway they wanted to ascertain it was a dead unit, so had to bring car back another time. (More tolls and petrol). Confirmed it was an internal short and would credit me the cost. Put towards new amp which they connected up. Previous evening I tagged every wire. Glad I did. On pickup Danny noted the previous wiring had power and signal cords running together (I admit that isnt good practice), it didnt sound right and recommended they rewire the lot. . I got home and I checked speaker terminal block. All wrong. (BLAUPUNKT was L-,L+,R-,R+. Replacement Pioneer was L+,L-,R-,R+. So wires 1 2. 3 4 L to R were done 1243. Shouldve been 2134. I swapped and sounded fine. So Im assuming original wiring was correct. (If I hadnt had tagged the wires I wouldve been caught between two providers saying theyd done right). I called Strathfield next day and was informed they check phasing and dont rely on what was previously wired. That wasnt my experience. So in summary they recognised warranty for item 13 months old (yeah), but had put a dead item out of the box back into a box for clearance sale (boo), and tried getting me to get them to do a re wire (boo). Maybe if I went with them for a complete purchase and install they might have been more attentive. Anyway not sure now if I (or one of my children) ever have a bigger install Id ever go back.

Speakers had been used and repackaged
Ordered some speakers and they arrived repackaged, security seal had been opened before as it was barely sticking to the box and foam broken in the box.
Very disappointed.
No reply to email, no refund or return offered.

Very rude, untrustworthy, unprofessional young people!
made me wait 1 hour and half just so someone can start on my car when i had an appointment with them! made me late to my appointment! The installation was horrible horrible!!! They didnt even follow what i told them to do and so now i need to get someone else to fix their mess at my own cost!!! they even scratched my rear door panel and it it doesnt look to be an accident because they got offended when all i did was ask them a question but i think i hurt their " professional " feelings, unbelievable!!! dodgy job and Very disrespectful! Beware! they remind me of mcdonalds.

Great service ever!!!!
3 weeks ago based on a recommendation from a friend, I visited SCR in Concord because the AUX in my car was not working. I made an appointment and on arrival one of your staff members Danny came to greet me and immediately checked my stereo system. Following the service, I asked if he could please send me a report for AAMI to which he did immediately. I just wanted to say that I was very happy with the service, the professionalism of the staff and I would highly recommend this company to anyone that needed a good professional service.

Great pricing, excellent service
I checked the websites of a number of online stores and Strathfield Car Radios were the most competitive for the multi-media unit I wanted for my Isuzu D-Max. The purchase process was fast and simple and the unit was delivered to my business address within 2 days.

Dishonest! Terrible service!
Called in to check availability of a speaker. The guy who answered the phone confirmed they had it in stock. I drove 45 minutes to collect it. When I got there the same guy started searching for the item. He then said it was sold out! he said he could do special pricing for a more expensive model. He quoted me something which was out of my budget. I left the shop but went back there in a few minutes to buy the other model anyway. When I got there that guy was working at the back so I was served by a different person behind the counter who quote...Read more
d me the original price of the speaker! Surprisingly, it was cheaper than the special price the original guy quoted me! Come on guys! what a terrible customer service. I cant believe how dishonest you guys are!Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

6 out of 10. Fantastic sound.
I made my purchase over the phone, but everything, including the price of all the individual components was e-mailed to me. The only problems i have had with it are the Subwoofer packing it in after less than 3 months and the crossovers being a pain to install inside a 2013 Ford Fiesta front doors. The Sub has been gone now for nearly 6 weeks for repair under warranty, but i am informed it will be back very soon. Apart from the long wait, Phil could not have been a better installer and person to get on with. He lives a fair distance away from...Read more
me and when i told him that my left front door wouldn't open from the inside, he knew exactly what he had done and offered to come back and fix it, but a friend if mine helped me with removing the door panel and we reconnected the mechanism. I have read some negative reports on here about Strathfield, but most of them are in the southern states and i am in Brisbane, but to be fair, apart from the long wait to get my Sub back, i can't complain too much. Phil even fixed the vibrations in my front doors from the Crossovers when he came back to take the Sub away for repairs. Maybe i got a good installer who knows what he is doing. If nothing else goes wrong, 4 stars. I'll post more after i get my Sub back.1 comment

Still waiting!!!
I booked in to have a car stereo system installed in my husbands car for his birthday. I had organised to have his car for 2 days, since they had me booked in for Friday, but may have been able to get there on Thursday. My time on Friday cme and went, finally I received a call stating the installer would not be there, but would be here first thing Saturday Morning! I was mad, as my husbands birthday was on Friday, so no birthday gift for him!!! [name removed], on the phone, knew that it was for a gift! Saturday came and went. I called all day,...Read more
and only ever got an answering machine. No phone call to say they were not coming, no email. No correspondence at all. . Unfortunately we went away on the Monday. Apparently, they tried to call me, but I have no register of this call, but was given the excuse maybe they had the wrong number, even though [name removed] had called me a number of times the following week to change my times. Once we were back, I emailed them again, to be told they could give me a $20 discount on a $600 stereo, but they could only fit me in on certain days, which did not work for me. I am very disappointed and upsets my husband still does not have a birthday present! Very unprofessional!Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

david hambletonasked
I am about to get an Audio upgrade from Strathfield in Brisbne on Monday. From what i've read on here about them, they don't rate too highly. Can anyone inform me of any problems or good features with the Brisbane business before i spend 1,600 bucks?
2 answers
Can't speak for Brisbane as I'm not from there.
The guys here (SCR Sydney) are pretty good, but every car has it's issues especially new ones as car manufacturers don't consider after market installations as part of their build process.
My advice is to make sure you take pictures before and after of your car, and ensure that you have something in writing that clearly defines who will cover damages if any are caused. This way you can clearly demonstrate a problem (before and after) and have agreement at the outset on who is responsible.
Don't just get a hand shake and verbal commitment.
Also ensure that if you are having any leads from the batter run, that they use proper heat proof covering or run it behind the firewall covering in the engine bay, otherwise they wires melt and short out.
Look at Dynamat on the doors as well, not just the speaker area. Makes a big difference to acoustics, and keeps road noise out.. Even when no playing tunes.
Thanks Noah. Have had the job done and everything is ok. I hovered over the bloke and It took him 7 hours to do it, but he did use all the correct gauge shielded wiring, especially to the Sub. New speakers went back in where the original one's were, with a slight modification and had to drill a hole to mount each crossover because the panels wouldn't go back on. Had to pull the back seat out to run the Sub wiring through to the hatch, but a good professional job. You're right about after market. The only place he could fit the Speaker Amp was under the left front seat, which makes it awkward to get at it to set the levels but that's really no problem. Strange there should be so many bad reports, unless this bloke knew exactly what he was doing. Thanks for you're answer mate.

Got my sub back this morning. Brand new one., all under warranty. Took about 8 weeks but i'm satisfied. I would highly recommend Phil Witney to anyone. He went out of his way for me and even did a few things that he probably didn't have to. do.
