Jim,
You made me feel you definitely know your business, you delivered on your promises and at the quoted price. You gave me clear information about upgrading and did not pressure me. I will come back whenever I need audio work. I came to SIM after one of your competitors did not satisfy my rather modest needs.

Sound In Motion does the highest quality installations, their portfolio shows it. With a group of friendly and knowledgeable guys, they have the skills to accommodate anyone. That's why I chose Sound In Motion to install a high end sound system in my new Infiniti G35x.

These guys at SIM (Jim, Derrick, Cliff, et al.) are not only very, very good with what they do, but they're also very friendly, affable, down-to-earth, decent gentlemen. I've visited other car audio shops, but SIM is the only place that I've ever done business with.

I'm just grateful that SIM exists, period. I hope that SIM will be here for a long, long, long time to serve our needs.

Sound In Motion made it simple for me to get my car the absolute best in mobile hi-fi & GPS, and security. They know the products, they know the vehicles and their stealth installation practices keep my car looking OEM, but with oh so much more audio and GPS function, plus superior security coverage.

When it comes to designing and installing mobile electronics, Sound In Motion has advanced knowledge, high quality products and the most clever installation techniques in the industry (yes, world wide). They don't sell "junk" just because it looks good, but they do sell proven products with exceptional installation results. Don't be fooled by their small shop in Allston, Ma. No, it's not fancy, and yes, it looks almost the same as it did over 20 years ago. But a lot of internationally recognized systems and many new installation techniques were developed there. This is the only retail store I know, in that the staff likes to be challenged and WANTS the customer to demand high expectations. Good luck finding THAT anywhere else.

Sound In Motion is the best car stereo installer. After careful consideration I decided that they are the experts of New England! I have a BMW M3 and Sound in Motion took a gorgeous factory car and made it even better! With such a compact car the sound is awesome, all of the equipment works flawlessly. Their installation was careful and thorough. Every single person who works at Sound in Motion has a smile on their face, and is happy to help out whenever I have a question. Each worker is an absolute expert, and I would not take my car anywhere else. When they had my car, Sound In Motion took time not to miss anything, and spent days making sure my system worked perfectly. They called to update me and let me have complete control over each aspect of the system. The result is an amazing, crisp sound that is better than anything else I have heard. I trust them with everything, from the speakers and the amps, to the DVD player and the ipod hook up they installed for me. Their customization to my needs was great, they listen to their customers. Sound in Motion completely hooked me up. Sound in Motion is THE BEST!

These guys are the DaVinci's of their industry: one part engineer, one part artist. Anyone can attach equipment to a car. I haven't met anyone else with the passion and energy and attention to detail Derek’s team has, not only with the custom fabrication, plastic and metal work they do...but even with the stuff that's hidden from sight but has a big effect on sound quality and safety. Their craftsmanship is second to none. They claim to eat and breathe this stuff in their off-hours. After seeing several of their projects up close, I believe them. No wonder Manny (yes that Manny) has had several cars done there.

Jim and his partner at Sound In Motion were really a breath of fresh air in this modern world of poor service and abruptness. They were truly a pleasure to do business with, driving my wife home when she had trouble finding a cab, installing an amazing sound system and noise dampening in our car, not over-selling us, being helpful with our dealer who gave us trouble, noticing a problem with the car that we had not seen before, taking pictures of their work to show us just how much they had accomplished in a short time, and completing the work in a timely fashion. I cannot begin to express the quality of the workmanship and the detail to attention. I have another car that I plan to schedule with them for a sound system upgrade -- I would never consider another shop.
