Area 51 did a great job swapping out the windows on our Sprinter Van. Very professional installation, quick turn around time, and reasonable prices. I highly recommend Justin and Area 51.

This is the place to go if you want to work with the best in Berks County. Justin and Crash are extremely professional and patient. They went above and beyond what I expected and stayed way past their closing time to make sure my car was on the road and sounding great. I'm a business owner myself and I can't say enough about how much I appreciate this company!

I was recommended this place through my barber who said they did great work. I got a powered subwoofer and speakers installed here. Service was good and fast. They got me in 2 days after I called to make an appointment. They also made sure my install was done same day because I needed my car for work the next day. I was extremely grateful for this.I would definitely recommend to anyone looking to get car audio equipment installed in Reading area/Berks County.

Very good work! Done same day, quick, clean, and fair prices. Good head unit install on my E60. Special shoutout to Crash, he made all the wires disappear, loving the sound system install!! Justin runs a nice shop. Look to be back for other car upgrades.

I called, they said they could install my subs that day, i drove over, got the subs in fast, and then went home. Super easy, fast, and simple. These guys constantly make sure that I was alright while waiting and quickly finished the job. I definitely recommend this place.

Justin and Crash installed a remote start on my car. They did it in less time than stated. The price was reasonable and they were pleasant to work with. I would recommend them highly. Thank you both!!

Terrible communication, delays on the whole installation process, and everything was done half fast. I am still finding problems. I wish I had never used this place. My car system still doesn't work right. I would never recommend. And if you do make sure you get receipts and document everything.

They had no respect for my car and looked like they installed everything in a rush. Plus they knocked out part of my window / dash and it won t go back in. The dash camera isn t properly installed either. And the Bluetooth stereo is installed crooked. They won t return my calls either. Thought this place would be fire with all the reviews but I was wrong

They did the job that I needed done, and they were very honest they vacuumed my mats, and in the process, they found money they called and told me about it,I was happy they did this so I gave it to them both as a tip

I got some LEDs installed on my car and they did a great job in half a day, figured out a nice way to install it nearly undetectably and when I picked up the car there was good communication about the work done, they even will express an interest in your build, whatever it may be and that was nice! Lastly, even though there was a fault code when I started my car (it was because the battery was disconnected) the guys actually hung up an important phone call to come inspect, 2 minutes later the code was gone and I'm happy to say these guys are worth your business as there's not many reputable places around where you can feel confident and dignified in your choice to bring your business there, here you can, thanks Area 51!

I went there to get my radio put in along with the double deck it came with as well as some wiring repairs. I have to say justin and the other employees really know what they are doing. I haven't had a single problem with my radio and it looks fantastic. The price was fair too. I would highly recommend this place to anyone and would definitely go back if I needed any other radio repairs or installations.

Great service and people! Owner knows his stuff and recommendations are very helpful. I got my 08 Civic Si done here with a new headunit and speakers. As well as a back up camera. Definitely coming back here again.

After my mechanic told me the aftermarket radio installed in my Jeep was drawing power nonstop because it was not installed correctly, I went straight to Area 51 because it had good reviews and I like to support small businesses rather than the big box stores. As soon as I walked into the shop, I was helped by Justin and given an appointment to have a new unit installed the very next day.The new stereo was installed quickly and correctly so I don't have to worry about my Jeep battery going dead, and the sound is amazing. I'll come back here for sure and recommend them to everyone. Thanks Justin!

I can finally enjoy my car rides again! Justin was very helpful, professional and answered all of my questions and concerns. It was local, reasonably priced, and I was able to get a car radio with everything I asked and more. Thank you again for everything!

Clean, very nice showroom. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. I got a quote for a killer stereo but also a quote for an entry level setup for a little extra bass. Thats the type of honesty I like in a company.

They did an awesome job with my system, clean and organized wiring, the fine tuning was exactly how I personally like it with my variety of music that I listen too. Gave me multiple options to choose from that fit well within my budget to get everything I asked for out of it.
