Car audio fitting
Car Audio Fitting Reading
If your car’s sound system just isn’t up to scratch, and you’re not fully enjoying the thumping sound of your favourite tunes as you drive around, we can install a new car stereo for you.
Upgrading the stereo was very common and popular over a decade ago, and there are still plenty of cars on the road without the performance, or even the features, you’re used to from the technology you use every day at home or at work.
Brand new cars do come with fairly decent stereos, but how good they are depends on the make and model, and on whether you bought new or second hand. Sometimes your budget when you bought the car simply didn’t stretch to upgrading the sound system. At Mobile Mechanic Reading we can upgrade your car’s stereo and have it fitted in no time, and because we come to you, car audio fitting couldn’t be any closer.
Stereos and speakers
Car Stereo Fitting Reading
We can generally fit new stereos into most makes and models of car. Very occasionally a car and the stereo you’ve chosen don’t work well together, but that’s rare.
If you haven’t bought your new stereo yet and would like some advice, we’re more than happy to have a quick chat about it. We’ll then be in a better position to give you a fairly accurate quote. Send us your car’s details to get started.
As well as fitting the stereo itself, we can change your speakers or add extra ones if you’d like to do that too.
Stereo upgrades
DAB and Smartphone Car Stereos
Most stereo upgrades now mean fitting a new stereo with DAB radio. DAB gives a clearer sound than standard radio, and people often compare the step up to going from regular TV to HD. DAB radios also pick up information sent by the station, so you can see the name of the song and the artist while it’s playing.
The other upgrade most people want is connecting their smartphone to the stereo. Most of us carry our phones everywhere and have built up our own playlists, which makes cassettes (if you still have one) and CDs seem archaic, and saves the space they take up.
With a phone connected, voice assistants such as Siri and Alexa let you change what you’re listening to without taking your hands off the wheel. Car makers and music companies say you shouldn’t change a cassette or CD while you’re driving, but most people have done it, and taking your attention off the road to do it makes an accident far more likely.
Stereo repairs
Car Stereo Repairs Reading
We may not be the people to take a stereo unit apart and put it back together again, but we know how a stereo connects into the car, and we can usually fix problems with your stereo if they’re connection related.
Signs that point to a connection problem include:
- The stereo working fine one minute and silent the next, especially after going over a bump
- Lights on the unit fading
- Some functions working while others don’t
If you’re not looking to replace your stereo and just want it fixed, get in touch and we’ll see if we can help. Even if we can’t fix it, ruling out the connections can show that the fault is in the stereo unit itself, and then we can talk to you about fitting a new one.

FAQs
Car Stereo Fitting Questions
Can you fit a new stereo to my car?
We can generally fit new stereos into most makes and models. Very occasionally a car and a particular stereo don’t work well together, but that’s rare. If you haven’t bought a stereo yet, we’re happy to talk it through and give you a fairly accurate quote.
Can you change or add speakers?
Yes. As well as fitting the stereo itself, we can change your speakers or add extra ones.
Can you fix my car stereo instead of replacing it?
If the problem is connection related, we can usually fix it. A stereo that cuts out after a bump, lights on the unit that fade, or some functions working while others don’t are all signs of a connection problem. If the connections are fine, the fault is likely to be in the unit itself, and we can talk to you about fitting a new stereo.
