Forty years of
flawless sound.
Premium car audio, safety tech and custom installs — engineered with obsessive attention to detail by the North Shore's most trusted shop.
Forty years on the North Shore
Performance Car Stereo opened its doors in North Vancouver in 1985 — and forty years later, we're still right here, doing what we love. While generations of North Shore drivers have trusted us with their vehicles, our reputation for elite craftsmanship now brings in clients from Burnaby, Vancouver, and across the Lower Mainland — providing everything from a teenager's first car to the family boat to a one-off custom build.
Whatever you drive, we've probably wired it. Our work ranges from simple speaker swaps and CarPlay upgrades to marine & boat audio, overland and RV/van builds, remote start & safety tech, factory-integrated systems, and full custom installs tuned to perfection.

From subtle upgrades to full custom transformations — premium gear, expertly installed since 1985.

"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."
