Txr Custom Car Audio & Accessories

This place is awesome. I came in thinking I had a major problem with my kenwood stereo. Rather than charging me a fee to diagnose the issue, the guy grabbed a tool and pressed a tiny reset button and presto! That was all it needed to fix the issue. I appreciate it very much, and will be back when I need some car audio gear!

I just purchased an Infiniti G37s and had no idea how to hook up an audio jack to play music from my phone. The car came equipped with the basic audio/​video connection and an iPod connection, but no basic audio jack!!! I swung by today and it seriously took them 30 seconds to come up with a solution, and I only spent $ 5! I’ve also had one car tinted here and on another car they fixed heater seat switches that had been pushed too far in. These guys deliver!!!

TXR installed a back-​up beeper and rear camera on my commercial cargo van. They provided an excellent estimate, but then reduced it by $ 50 and said it did not take as long as they thought. They even put in an «on/​off» switch for the beeper at no extra charge. While the price was low, their work was excellent. I made an appointment, dropped off the van and picked it up two hours later. As I used the van for work, it was great not having to wait all day. I recommend using TXR!

The guys at this shop know their business! Very pleased with the service and products!

Just got a fantastic Pioneer audio and video system installed in a new to me, Hummer H2. I worked with Greg who was a great listener as I had very specific requirements, such as front and rear cameras to help park the beast.
Greg kept was very helpful in discussing alternative options for placement of all equipment added to the Hummer. He kept in touch with me with questions before completing any installation. He is very budget conscious, flexible, honest, but best of all his work was terrific! I am picky and he completed very professional work.
We look forward to working with TXR Custom Car Audio again in the near future. My husband is taking his 4×4 Van to Greg for a similar equipment setup.

Yes. I’ve been here and it’s great. They installed a cable so I can play music on my phone. It took about an hour and it works great. Please go here. It’s great.

Greg was very helpful in discussing the options to add video monitors to the factory system on my 05 Landcruiser. We went with an option that gave us the most flexibility and the installation was quick and seems to be very well done. Also, the pricing came in at the low end of the quote range, so I went ahead and had them replace a blown subwoofer.
Would definitely recommend and use TXR again!

Greg is the all-​knowing god of car audio. And he’s price-​conscious to boot, as if he were the customer! Installation of my speaker was under 30min and I’m now enjoying great sound in my Miata. I’ll definitely be back for more audio adjustments in the future. Thanks Greg!
It’s also quite lovely to get a hotdog + coffee at the awesome Hot Rod Coffee Trailer while you wait. The whole experience on this sweet corner of Burnet is a joy!

Greg was super helpful! Got me and my RAV4 in (same day, started working on my car within 30 minutes of arrival) for a new keyless entry, and even got me in 5 minutes after leaving cause I decided I wanted something else added… haha, my bad ;) I would highly recommend him for audio and other car stuff. Couldn’t be happier with the work, the price, and the friendliness! Thanks Greg ^_^

I’ve now visited TXR twice: once to have them install an Alpine head unit in my wife’s 4Runner in June of 2013, and again today.
I should note that I did not purchase the Alpine stereo or install kit at TXR, instead buying it through Crutchfield online.
While it seemed that they had done a good install initially, we’ve been having problems with the stereo for a few weeks now.
When given the chance to take a look at the install to see if something needed to be adjusted, I was left standing around the showroom for over an hour during my work day, and finally had to leave without TXR having done anything to fix the problem, and after wasting over an hour of my life.
I would definitely NOT recommend using them if you’re not buying the stereo from them!

Just avoid this place unless you want to overpay for a stereo or only need a basic install performed. Stopped by recently looking for a navigation capable head unit and all they had was old inventory, no display, and a quote scribbled on the back of an old business card.

Wonderful people… On time, the right price, great to work with.

The guys are extremely helpful and trustworthy. I recommend them and would do business with them again.

Greg at TXR has always done a top notch job and has installed the majority of my audio equipment in my various vehicles over the years… Chevy Tahoe, Acura Rsx, 350z, and F150. Very knowledgeable and helpful. I don’t take my vehicles to any other shop for audio work. I would recommend them and have recommended them to others.

Got a cd player installed into an old car. The stereo wiring was all mangled due to previous owner’s custom install and then a robbery. The guys are TXR installed my stereo for 79 $ including a dash kit. It took very little time, they were very nice. I chatted with the owner of the attached window tint place for a long while. I would go back to these guys.

Pretty good little place. I took my $ 50k custom impala to have some stereo and air ride work done. They were fairly knowledgable in the basic wiring of both systems — were able to reuse equipment that I already had mounted and the overall sound and appearance, although not show quality, was acceptable.
I wasn’t looking for a show unit, but it turned out exactally how i expected for the price i was ready to pay. Beyond that, Greg is friendly and hard working, it was easy to schedule and the location is convenient.
The only complaint is that there isn’t enough slack in the head unit auxilary ipod cord, but thats a pretty dumb thing to complain about since its such an easy fix.

This review is long over-​due. Back in June of 09′ Greg hard-​wired my Valentine-​One radar locator in my new Saab.
The installation went smoothly and I could not be happier. They were by far the most competitive and fair price of all the prices I called. –The install was only about $ 40
Would def recommend for any car installations based on my experience with them.
Since then my wife got an 2010 Nissan Murano and Greg hardwired the Valentine 1 in her card bac in Feb of 2010 for about 40 bucks. I also got a new Infiniti G37 last July of 2010 and Greg once again installed the hard wire kit for my V1 in the new car.
The install process is always pretty quick –usually within an hour while a wait. All the other places in town are complete rip-​offs compared to what TXR and Greg charge at their shop.

How’s this for a review: in removing my old stereo and replacing it with a new one, he cracked the dash in my 1990 Toyota Land Cruiser in 3 places. It gets better. He wanted to ring me up before I inspected the work so that he could «close early for the day,» but I told him that I had a question about how he installed the new radio before he left. We went out to the car together, where I discover that he cracked the dash in three obvious places. At first, he denied knowing that it happened. But when I pointed out to him that his statement was ridiculous, given that the cracks were on the dash that SURROUNDS the radio he just installed, he then admitted to it and blamed the cold weather for the brittle plastic. It was at that point that I reminded him that I’d offered to come another day to avoid the cold weather (for this very reason) and that I recommended that he at least use a hair dryer or something to heat the plastic before removing it.
In summary: not skilled, dishonest.

I went in to get my speakers rewired on 300D Benz, 1985, as well as purchase a head unit and a couple speakers. I alerted the technician that the speaker wiring was a little tricky because these Mercedes had a built-​in fader toggle that had to be taken out of the circuit. I even noted him that I could get the wiring diagram because I know this gives people some trouble. He said not to worry, that he knew what was up. Great.
I picked up the car and the first time I turned the volume up a bit, not loud, just above conversation level, a steady buzz came from the front speakers. There was no balance or fade capability so I guessed that he wired everything through a single channel. I took the car back.
He agreed to fix it at no charge, with the sheepishness of one who has jury rigged someone’s car speakers.
When I picked up the car, another gentleman told me my car would be ready in a few minutes. He disappeared and I waited for about 10 minutes and then became curious. I walked around to the install bay and my tech was sitting on the floor working on a BMX bike. My car was there with a battery charger hooked up to my battery. Why he didn’t come up front and let me know what was going on is beyond me. We jumped the car and I went on my way.
Then I realized the car still had no front/​back fade. Ultimately I pulled he stereo and the center console, and with the trusty diagram that I offered him from the get-​go, I rewired everything. This time he had all four speakers running off the two front channels. When I got things working, three hours later, the stereo sounded better than ever.
No thanks to TXR custom car audio.

I wanted to get an auxillary jack for my Ipod put directly into my car stereo, so I could drive to Kansas with musical freedom.
First, I went to Custom Sounds because it’s a block away from the crib. They priced the job at $ 300. Like whoa. Waayy more than I expected. «Lemme get back to ya», I replied, and quickly made tracks to TXR.
Within a few minutes, I had an estimate of $ 200. Now I’m no mathematician, but it seemed to be a better deal at TXR than at Custom Sounds.
On my day off, I dropped off the G-​ride and waited with some friends down the street. WIthin 3.5 hours, I got the call that my car was ready. Not only that, it was $ 189, not $ 200. Right on, right on…
I jump in and jam the Ipod, and all is well in my car… Until later that night when I tried to change functions on the stereo to radio, cd player, and back to the Ipod. All hell broke loose. I couldn’t get it to do anything without using the steering wheel controls, and then it just turned off inexplicably.
When I called up TXR the next day he told me to bring it in. What had happened was that when I picked up the car, nobody gave me any instructions on how to work the new input function. I must’ve pushed the wrong combination of buttons. After a quick tutorial and a copy of the directions that came with the new hardware, I was back on the road.
Everything works fine now.
Point is, they are fast and reasonably priced as always, but make sure someone there takes the time to explain your new equipment when you pick your car up.
