Had a great experience at Independence Audio-Video today. Worked with Justin on getting great sound out of my stock head unit in my 2017 F150. Justin was very knowledgeable and provided several options with their product line. They were able to get me in same day for an install which was completed quickly and very professionally. Justin also fine tuned the system to my liking after install. Completely satisfied and impressed with my buying experience at IAV. Will definitely be back for any future car or home audio needs.Thx to the IAV team!Eric B
Showed up at 5:15, they closed at 6, but in that short amount of time Jeff treated me like a friend, took his time, talked shop, played a demo and made a sale! Staff was chill, knowledgeable and Jeff didn’t try to get me to over buy. Probably saved me several bad purchases to get my home audio where it’s at. Headed back soon as this is a journey in home audio, and I found home!
These people are awesome. They did not try to sell me more than I needed, critical. They installed my new car audio equipment, tuned it to my vehicles interior and showed me how to properly use it all. Overall a great experience.
I called several audio place in KC area. Some didnt even pick up! One told me Id probably have to send my faulty speaker into B&W for repair. Another couldnt give me a straight answer but would look at my speaker for $60 before the actual repair! No one even asked me what kind of speaker I had or werent familiar with B&W!I talked with Jeff. First question? So, what do you have? He was very familiar with Mr speaker brand, asked a few more pointed questions. Then he had me send him a few photos of my speaker so he could give me a fair idea of what I might need. Within minutes he called me back and gave me the simple solution to fix my speaker myself!Saved me a trip from Overland Park to Independence! Saved me at least $60 or shipping to the manufacturer. And he gave me advice to make my next upgrade. You bet Ill purchase it from Independence Audio!
Fast Friendly Service. Went Over My Options, Made a Plan & Will My Truck Stereo Sounding Great.
It is a family owned store thats been around since 1970s every staff in the store knows what theyre talking about when it comes to wanting a TV a car stereo a home theater system a record player or whatever it may be but if youre looking for a budget-friendly TV or a budget friendly stereo or record player it is best to shop around if youre looking for something cheaper you can shop at other places that could be cheaper but they do offer layaway they have a long lengthy layaway that you can use and take all the time you want to pay it off but if youre looking to buy it straight out I would advise that you would shop other places that could be cheaper as they are kind of expensive they sell higher in stuff. This is why I gave it 4 out of 5 stars as I wish I could give it five stars they do sell quality items TV stereos and etc... But as far as price wise if youre looking for something budget friendly theyre not the place to shop at but if youre looking for quality staffs that stands behind the products that they sell and guarantees them 100%, then this is the store for you.
I have been using Independence Audio for 36 years. This includes home surround sound audio, televisions, audio for cars and boats. The knowledge of the Independence Audio team always so impressive! The installations are fantastic, and the sound, whoa, it is so good! The after sales support is always there. Go see this team, it is a magical place!
Got remote start installed. Love this place. People are friendly and willing to help
I have been going to Independence audio and video for over 10 years! They are excellent with there customer service and experience with all of there products! I have dealt with all of there sales team and I would recommend independence audio over all of the other stores! If your looking to get quality equipment and be treated with great respect this is the best place!
Independence Audio-Video is a class act. Very knowledgeable on systems and can recommend and help you build whatever you need. Scott and his team helped us figure out what would work best for our situation, and we are highly satisfied with the results. Would absolutely recommend Independence Audio-Video. They don’t just sell you a product. They care that you are satisfied and they follow up.
I purchased stereo equipment from Independence Audio-Video about20 years ago and still have and use that equipment on a regular basis.Recently I had my turntable serviced and am very pleased with the cartridgethey ordered and installed. Their staff is knowledgeable and well informedregarding high quality audio gear.
INDEPENDENCE AUDIO-VIDEO IS AN ABSOLUTELY AMAZING COMPANY!! From the smallest of small to the biggest of big, they will honestly and effectively take care of you! IF they cant help, theyll refer you to options of who/ what will help! Jan is very personable and professional- Ive never felt rushed or belittled (Im technically challenged- literally cant even plug in a TV. 😂
Extremely knowledgeable and never up selling beyond your budget. I am extremely pleased with my purchases every single time I leave, with no buyers remorse or second guesses. I can’t say that about many other places. If you are considering audio or television upgrades, go get the expert advice and quality equipment while paying close to the same price as the big box store junk (I know the box stores can have decent equipment, but if you aren’t extremely knowledgeable to make the correct choices, may as well be junk).This place should be 5 stars, look at the low reviews on here and read between the lines......
Great job with the sub in my type r..... Chris was very nice and professional. Good job to the installer ad well...
I will never go to another store EVER again for audio needs. They put the most incredible system in my new truck. Did it RIGHT the first time and at a reasonable price. It makes such a difference when you have the pros install a top shelf system.
You will not pay lowest dollar here but the staff is knowledgeable, nice showroom, and friendly staff. Ive purchased from here twice. Pleasant experience both times.
The greatest high end audio shop anywhere within hundreds of miles. Very smart, friendly and never once pushy. Ive been treated with great respect and patients. Ive worked with George and Janet and they have been amazing. Doesnt matter if your spending hundreds or thousands your treated the same. Thanks for all your help with my turntable troubles. Still can believe I broke my 2m red. I always look forward to driving out to see your amazing audio and enjoy the experience expertise and respect.Tim D from Raymore, Mo
My 2015 Cadillac ATS sounds amazing! Big thank you to Isaac and all the installers! They fit me in over a days time because they were booked weeks out! Price matched my subs and everything. Everything looks clean. They made everything I asked for happen. Best audio installation company in the state. I appreciate you guys. Thanks for makin it happen exactly how I imagined it!!
I had a whole home audio system installed. They were very helpful on the initial visit - made sure to understand my needs and expectations. The Sonos-based system was backordered, but they were up front about that. The installation went really smoothly, it looks and sounds AWESOME! Would definitely recommend Independence Audio. Jeff and Sean will fix you up.
Very professional and helpful,helped me find exactly what I wanted in a short amount of time
Indep AV has done amazing work with our Smart Home and Outdoor Entertainment System! We get compliments all the time from friends and family. Sean and Janet are a delight to work with and I am definitely going to be a life long customer. Highly recommend Independence AV!
I have a small car installation business myself, and whenever I need parts or something I dont have I can always count on these guys to have it. Very professional, courteous, and welcoming experience every time I walk into their amazing showroom. If I have issues with one of my own installs I have gotten advice from their car audio guys and what they recommend doing or have done themselves. If I was to ever own my own shop I would want it to be as wonderful as it is! Thanks guys.
Independence Audio provides personalized service by World Class audio professionals. Expert sales team, installation and support. They are truly the best as they would not have otherwise lasted well over quarter century.
We have purchased televisions and sound systems over the last 20 years from Independence Audio-Video. The quality of the products and service are superb.
Great equipment. Great service. Expensive, but you get what you pay for. They also didnt oversell me. They were able to dial in my needs and sold me exactly what I needed, and nothing more. I highly recommend them.
Very helpful staff! Very cool store to look around as well.
Installed large tv and surround sound system in my home. Good communications, well done, sounds and looks great!
The technicians know what they are talking about and are able to present options and actual solutions.
Extremely knowledgeable, helpful, polite, efficient quality products. All around great experience.
What a great experience! George Wilson did a excellent job. He stuck with me through the end. Great job.
I appreciate the support staff making house calls on-time for the products purchase and installed by Independence Audio-Video. Having support in making new home video work better is very important, especially when new equipment offer more functionality.
Independence audio has been at there location since the 1970s they must be doing something right
Chris and the Independence Audio Team are fantastic!
Always take good care of the audio needs and answer any and all questions I have
We have had numerous things done by them, from a new home TV to things done on our cars. They have been great every single time.
Be sure to check prices at Independence Audio before you buy online. Keep it local!
Got my sub and amp from them! They were super helpful! I was talking to the guy that was helping me about how my speakers I had werent great but they were new and he perfected the settings for my radio to make my speakers I have sound better rather than them automatically trying to sell me new speakers. I definitely trust them and they treat you like family!
Great selection of quality products with experienced sales team and installers. Always my first stop for audio or video needs.
Hands down, Independence Audio is the best. Expert advice, products and installation. Between Dave and Darrin I now have surround sound and so much more. I wouldnt go anywhere else.
I consistently experience knowledgeable staff, competent workmanship, attentive customer service, and confidence-inspiring professionalism.
Punctual, knowledgeable, friendly, laid-back yet professional. Id recommend them and return for working on my car.
These guys are the best! Friendly and respectable staff. I wouldnt go anywhere else for my audio system.
4 years ago had them install system in our 4 door Jeep. A week ago one speaker crackled. I dropped it off. They checked everything out. They said they have a lifetime warranty on their installs. I was impressed on that alone. At the end of the day picked up the Jeep. No charge and sounded better than before! Thank you Guys!
I was having trouble with my subs in my car. I went to audio/video in indep mo, and Justin was super helpful. He wasnt pushy at all, but I ended up buying what I needed to get me stereo bumping. Justin tuned it for me and made sure everything was working good. I will definitely be back. If you need help with your car stereo Id suggest coming to audio/video in Independence. Ask for Justin and Im sure you will have as great of an experience as I did. Gonna tell all my friends to come here. Thanks again Justin and audio/video in Independence for a very pleasant outcome to a frustrating situation.
If you ever need a stereo at the right price with the best help out there always Independence audio is the place to go, the sales people are always eager to help you with whatever you need. Everyone that works there is awesome.
Always been experience at Indep. audio-video been going there for probably about 25-30 years.
Honest / know what they are doing.
Thank you so much Justin Thibault for going above and beyond for your customers. I appreciate that you allowed me to use your tools for a simple home theater project that turned out perfect and were very knowledgeable and helpful about it. Thank you so much, I will be returning for business for sure.
I have dealt with Independence Audio several times over the years and highly recommend them. Just recently, Dave and George went above and beyond to assist in selecting a Yamaha receiver. They did the same with a cartridge and stylus for an old turntable. After the sale they patiently helped me with several questions regarding component connections and diagnosing an issue with an older DVD/CD player. Thank you very much.ps - my son, who now lives in Idaho still uses them for his A/V equipment.
It is the best audiophile place I’ve been to in a long time.Jan answered all my questions, spent the time to try other equipment, and was very patient with me.Jan has 40 yrs of audiophile experience. We speak the same language.It is the greatest stereo equipment in KCMO
I have bought quite a bit of car audio equipment from them and Ive got nothing but good things to say about them and the customer service is over the top I recommend all of my friends to them
I love how they have everything i need
I had a very good experience. The salesmen was very kind and good to work with. He knew what would best suit me. The techs who installed the equipment were very pleasant. Who how to do everything. Very brilliant.
I have used these guys 3 or 4 times for different upgrades for my truck. I have never had any problems with anybody. If anything ever goes wrong or you have a question they are always glad to help. I always have used Chris when I take my truck there.I even used them when I had a home theater installed in my house and they even talked me out of buying a new TV because they said your old one was fine. Janet was always nice and respectful when she talked to me. I cant leave out the guys that came and installed my home theatre. They did a great job. Oh and Anthony who always did my installs on my truck is super great.When you hire these guys, yeah their prices may be a little higher but you know what kind of quality and workmanship you are getting. They will always do anything of mine.
I had remote start added to a family members 2004 Escape. We got the extended range remote start and my stepkid is absolutely thrilled with the result! Her vehicle was in and out in a short period of time and we have the confidence of a job well done and a lifetime warranty. You can get this done by several places I imagine but I wanted the confidence that comes from dealing with Independence Audio. This is a long established business that sells the best, not junk. If you want a quality product installed by friendly, helpful folks who have been doing the right thing for a very long time, SHOP AND BUY HERE. Im not going anywhere else. Im certain that the price was fair and I know the install was perfect. Ive shopped around for years. Many have come and gone. Independence Audio is still here because they earned their great reputation. Im going to be a repeat customer, spouse needs his broken remote unlock changed out and of course I will be doing that right here! Thanks so much for your hard work Independence Audio!
Independence Audio pros never fail to OVERperform. Always on time for appointments. Thorough without overkill or excess in scope of work or expense. Schedulers and service tech are personable, knowledgeable, effective and efficient.
We love this place!!! Great customer service and Chris is wonderful!!! They offer several pricing levels to fit any budget. Chris goes out of his way to ensure customer satisfaction. He explains everything until you understand how to work your product. We wont take our vehicles anywhere else!!!
Simply the best. Weve trusted them for years & they dont disappoint. Recently had remote start installed & was there for a couple of hours. They catered to my son (8 yr old ansty pants) by letting him choose a movie & putting it on their big screen. Knowledgable, kind, reasonable prices & just dang good place to go!!
Best place ever. I recently purchased a home theater sub from a different place and sounded like a squirrel was in it. I went by here and spoke with George. He was the best ever, first he gave me advice on what could be going on with my current sub and I already tried everything he suggested. He then showed me around at what set ups were there in the building. Yes, I did not realize at first how the prices were but you also get what you pay for. I ended up purchasing a couple of the Golden ear 8 subs. George helped me figure out what subs would go good with my current setup and even helped how best to set the speakers up in the settings of my current receiver. Best purchase ever and really appreciate George helping me instead of pushing big purchases. Definitely recommend Independence Audio-Video.
Financed a system for my truck and I’m a satisfied customer. It was expensive, but at least they allow financing. Initially I had some issues, but they fixed the issues and even did my wife’s car as well. Overall I would recommend them, but their prices are high. Great customer service.
They know what they are doing.
Excellent service and product knowledge.
Ive purchased car audio products and service from Independence Audio many times. In a nutshell, I love going there and talking with their sales staff because they are really knowledgeable and guide you to what you truly need. I am very slow to make my decisions and they have always been patient with me, no hurrying or high pressure tactics. I also like that they will write down detailed price estimates for you. Finally I like that they literally stock only high quality products, its really fun to look at all the awesome things they sell.
By far, this is the best audio-video business in Kansas City. Janet Young has an amazing depth of knowledge and experience in the profession and she is so much fun to work with! The entire staff is committed to getting things done right and everyone there is professional, patient and courteous. Their products are top of the line in quality, and the long history and excellent reputation of this business is well deserved. You cant go wrong here.
I have used Jeff for years, he is amazing so is Indepedence Audio. Plus they come to me. I can not say enough good about them.
I helped my parents find a new entertainment center at this store. We were treated with respect and got all the attentions my technically uninitiated parents needed. We got exactly what we needed with out any up sale pressure to spend outside of their budget. The staff was super friendly and very knowledgeable about their products and the latest features. Was very honest about what would be and wouldnt be use full to my parents. Will buy from them often and again. The home install team was very flexible with scheduling and did a professional clean install, with a couple of return trips to work out the expected bugs. Everything still works great after our purchase and install in November of 2011.
Received excellent advice and customer service from another audio enthusiast when looking for an A/V receiver, speakers, cables, and headphones! Was given ample time to listen in their demo rooms before making any choices. Low pressure, friendly, informative sales person. Excellent range of quality products at various price points, though toward the medium/high end. Definitely my go-to source for future home and car audio needs!
I was being a bit picky with my car audio and these guys were patient with me and handled things amazingly. Thanks Independence AudioSounds great by the way 😉
I have been purchasing electronics from Independence Audio for over 2 decades. They have great products, great pricing and I have all the trust in the world in Jeff Moore and his knowledge about Home Audio.The installers Darrin and Gabriel are top notch, and you feel comfortable having them inside your home. I would strongly recommend Independence Audio over any other company in the Kansas City Metro Area.
They do a fantastic job with car and home audio. I used them in high school and just recently. Great customer service and prices. I had a minor issue after installation. They were extremely helpful in fixing the matter. (Turns out it was user error).
Top line audio.
I went in to have my remote starter looked at, they got it fixed quickly and had me on my way. The price was very reasonable, the staff was very helpful. I was asked if I needed help or had any questions while I waited on my car. Every person I came in contact with was very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. If I ever decide to have any more work done on my cars Im going back to see these guys.
Good price, top quality products, professional installation, and very responsive. I will not hesitate to use Independence AV for future purchases. I highly recommend them!
Highly, HIGHLY recommend choosing Independence Audio.After a fairly complex upset, Scott treated me with professionalism and care. He rocketed above and beyond to square our transaction. Loyal for life.Thanks Independence Audio and especially, Scott
Great people and product here at Independence Audio. Give them a look. They can create a smart house for you if you are interested.
Ive been going to Independence Audio for a long time. Maybe 30 years? I have purchased multiple items there over the years for car audio and love looking at all of their products. This is definitely a place to look if searching for auto audio products, home theater or even some 2 channel listening.
I went in to the store today to get a wiring harness interface for my truck. I went back home and installed it only to find it didnt work due to a manufactures mess up. I went back to the store and With the help of Justin It was fixed. I did not expect for Justin to do the work that he did. He is a top notch guy that went way above my expectations! Not only did he wire up both harnesses be also found and fixed another issue that he found. Im a very happy customer and would highly recommend Justin to do any repairs
Justin went out of his way to get me squared away with my car audio needs. The staff there is helpful. Everyone there is very friendly. They sell the best stuff and stand behind their product.
Ive purchased various equipment from them for close to 40 years. I was in a little discussion with Sony regarding repairing an old projection set which was not repairable by them (Sony) so Sony offered a pretty good discount on a 4K direct. The guys helped me weigh the pros and cons on whether to take Sony up on their deal--which I ultimately took and no gain for them. GREAT customer service! I recommend them to anyone looking for audio/video equipment.
Remote start took almost 3 1/2 hours to be installed, after I walked in on a Saturday about noon two weeks before Christmas without an appointment and got same-day install service. Top notch service, good price and the last 3 vehicles with remote start installed here have not experienced issues. The oldest system put in was in 2006 and it works fine with one remote replacement after I stepped on the old one, twice.
I have been buying stereo equipment and video equipment from these folks for several years. However, the epitome of my experience with them was when they did the installation of my home automation system using Amazon Echo and Control4. I now have significant voice control over doors, lights, shades and more using the system, and it works flawlessly. The service after the sale is just as good as the service when youre doing the installation set up and calibration.
This store is not like a typical electronics chain store. It is an independent electronics dealer. They carry very nice higher end electronics at reasonable prices. I have recommended them to several people, and one of them just spent over $1000 in a new stereo system. I have to drive just over 1-1/2 hour to get to this store from where I live.
I cannot speak highly enough of my experience with Independence Audio. Jeff and the installation team was terrific from start to finish. We are very pleased with our new media room thanks to their input and assistance.
I worked with Janet, and shes incredibly knowledgeable and professional. I found that Independence Audio-Video was competitively priced and thoroughly professional and capable. I cant imagine anyone in this industry with better knowledge and ethics than Janet. Her whole team was excellent!
Very courteous and knowledgable staff. Chris was very communicative, helpful and patient walking me through options for my boat. Anthony did an excellent job on the install, treating this job like it was his own system. Its hard to find the knowledge, responsiveness, and 5 star work with competitive prices. I dont feel like I was sold to rather I bought exactly what I needed.Thanks Chris and Anthony for going above and beyond!
These guys are the best! We have three TVs in our house and we bought all of them from Independence Audio. They have great prices and amazing service! We also have a sound bar and we love it! Don’t go to Walmart or Best Buy, but local!!!
Needed to replace my exsisting sub with a shallow mounted edition for space in my jeep. I was pretty sure it was going to be hard to find something that sounded as good and fit in the small space i wanted it. Justin was the man that helped me and he really went above and beyond to make sure i found the right sub. He was even quick to help me price match what i had found online, making them very competitive as far as cost. Loved the store will be going to them in the future
Perfect showroom. Excellent customer service. Listened to my needs and discussed options instead of trying to push me into what was available. Truly professional and satisfying experience. Will return again and again.
These guys are industry best as far as helping with selection of the right equipment at fair prices. We have bought stuff from them for many years now and always felt like they knew what they were doing and led us to the best package. Lots of help after the sale as well. Highly recommended based on several transactions over a 25 year period.
Fantastic experience. Independence Audio/Video are real pros... they were knowledgeable about the products, designed a great system for our home, and their installers are top notch. Highly recommend!
I had been waiting a while to purchase my dream speakers...so when it came time to do it, Scott and the crew made it easy to narrow it down and make the best choice.They let me listen to all the different speakers I was considering, for as long as I needed to make up my mind.Hard to find customer-oriented stores like this- these days! I am really enjoying the speakers, and I will go back there the next time when its time to upgrade another part of my system.
I have been an avid customer for longer than I can remember. From TVs to car radios to audio systems, Ive bought them all. As a travel agent, I have the latest 4H TV where I play videos and DVDs for my customers to help plan their vacations. The TV came from Independence Audio-Video.
Truly an amazing place. Knowledgeable staff that are always willing to go the extra mile. Highly recommended
Never really got out of the gate with these guys...had several interactions on a potential car install for a sound system upgrade,... they even recommended a sub box they didnt sell so I was left with the impression they would be happy to get my install business. At the end of the day I saved well over a $500.00 NOT buying the JL component system from them. They not only wouldnt install it after it was purchased, but went on to say no reputable dealer would. I was left in a bad spot but literally the first five businesses I called looking for help (some of which were JL Signature dealers/certified etc) said they would be happy to do it for me and the bids were all very reasonable. Ultimately I went with a shop that had a lot of experience with my upgrade and it sounds great. Tough to say what my total savings was but it was a ton!
Ive worked with Independence Audio for many, many years for all my home audio, home video, and home automation projects. Im on my third house, and theyve been with me on each. In particular, Jeff Moore and Sean Jackson are second to none. I would not (could not) do a project without them.Tom
Our experiences with your employees have been the very best I could imagine. I was impressed with their knowledge and how quickly they could do what they had to do. I will be moving this summer and will certainly call your service personnel to put my TVs back together in my new home.. Thank you!
Very knowledgeable staff. The purchase and install was quick and easy. I will recommend them to friends.
Very helpful and knowledgeable in helping us make television decisions and with set up. We dont have the technical skills for buying and installing. Would not have such quality service at a big box store. Will definitely do business there again and will follow their advice.
My salesperson, Jeff Moore, is beyond amazing! The best people, and the best products, is why Ive been a customer since 1989.
