Forty years of
flawless sound.
We install premium car audio, safety tech and custom systems, with careful attention to every detail. North Shore drivers have trusted our shop for forty years.
Forty years on the North Shore
Performance Car Stereo opened in North Vancouver in 1985. Forty years later, we're still here. Generations of North Shore drivers have brought us their vehicles, and our work brings in customers from Burnaby, Vancouver, and across the Lower Mainland too. We work on teenagers' first cars, family boats and one-off custom builds.
Whatever you drive, we've probably wired it. We handle speaker swaps and CarPlay upgrades, marine & boat audio, overland and RV/van builds, remote start & safety tech, factory-integrated systems, and fully tuned custom installs. Some vehicles have their own packages. Our BMW sound system upgrades have four Match and Helix levels, with a fitment finder for each model.

"Had an amazing experience having a new stereo installed in my '97 Volkswagen Cabrio. The team went above and beyond, and the final product was better than anything I'd hoped for. Amazing and thoughtful customer service — couldn't recommend more!"
Caitlin Will · Google review"This business really knows how to treat their customers. Knowledgeable, helpful, patient and a low-pressure sales approach. Great value for the service they provide as well. I highly recommend Performance Car Stereo to anyone!"
Darlene M. Kurtz · Google review"Sean and team were absolutely top notch. Clear with pricing, very fair, and great to deal with. Other shops pad the billing without a second thought — but my build came in under my quote! I don't think I've ever experienced that."
