Bought a stereo for my run of the mill 2014 caravan. Their instructions said no cutting of the dash required. Well, after wiring I up I find I does not fit in the opening. The radio is too big so without hacking the outer dash, it's not going to fit. I decided to call and find out I this was normal and all I got was attitude. Tech told me I didn't read the instructions or fit info. When I proved him wrong on both counts, he then said I must have some special model. No apologies, no solutions, he just tried to blame me. And then hung up. I'm sending this junk back. If I can't can't get accurate fit info or tech support I might as well buy it on Amazon for less money.

Bought a kenwood radio and after 3 months started having moisture behind the screen. My jeep is a pavement process top goes down doors off but has never been in the rain and does not leak. Was told by customer service that humidity can cause this issue but was then told that there was probably more than just humidity to blame and because of the moisture my warranty was void. End result if you buy a radio from Crutchfield remember humidity will void your warranty.

I purchased a complete car radio but paid for it but all the parts were sent. I did not realize that until later on. They claimed that the weight recoded is in indication that it was complete. That package was full of paper.

I've ordered from Crutchfield for years. My recent purchase was exactly what I expected. Great service, great warranty, zero issues. Save yourself the trouble of ordering from places that have zero after purchase customer care...Sonic... If you want a worry free transaction order from Crutchfield.

I bought speakers and one of them was defective right out of the box. Crutchfield took care of the problem super fast and without the normal headaches like dealing with eBay or AMAZON. Crutchfield Customer Service is the best I've ever seen.

Thank you,
Jim Mc.

I purchased my first item from Crutchfield (QLED TV) and it arrived today. I had promised myself to use them since I got excellent advice from them on a different product, a year ago, that they no longer carried (was discontinued) and they told me to get one even if it meant going elsewhere. So, I got my next TV from them. New TV's are not easy to ship as the glass is so thin. It arrived perfectly and right on time with no drama from UPS (their only shipping partner). Since Covid nothing has seemed to go right in customer service - Crutchfield is the obvious exception. I am now a loyal customer.

Used them many times for multiple items

Always happy with education provided, product selection, and pricing. They've been most helpful in choosing what will work best for my vehicles. I've purchased approximately 2 full vehicle systems, a few odds and ends of bluetooth items, etc. Usually receive free shipping, and items arrive quickly.

1st system i bought died in 1 year had to send it in JVC,, and it was 3 weeks getting repaired. I gave them a 2nd chance and order car radio and speakers for my jeep. It came missing the 4 sm screws that hold on the faceplate. I called to get them mailed to me. 2 days later lady calls and say i have to call the company that made it for the parts. WTF? They should have done that and forward them to me or open another stereo and sent those to me and sent that one back to the company that they get them from. They lost a customer.

At one time they had great service and I would do business with them anytime, but those days are over. I placed a simple order that should have been shipped out in a day or two, but yet they finally shipped it out the day before it was scheduled to be delivered and send out a email that day stating it will be delivered late. When I contacted them, they said it will be there on time and do not see any issues with it.
I uses to like doing business with Crutchfield, but not anymore, it's almost like they don't care about the customer anymore.
I have bought many stereo from different places and installed them in different vehicles over the years.
All of this is my personal opinion.
