Four decades of

Premium car audio, safety tech and custom installs — engineered with obsessive attention to detail by the North Shore's most trusted shop.
Four decades 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. Generations of North Shore drivers have trusted us with their vehicles, 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.

"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."
