I am often impressed by the personal, friendly and quality services provided by businesses in Kamloops and Dave at Andre’s is a great example of that. Keep up the great work!
Management and staff are top of the line. We have been a loyal customer for 16 years and always received great service. The store is in rough condition, maintenance is so poor they don’t have heat in the shop and staff is having to use hot shots and has been this way for several days. Staff that is that dedicated and have to work in conditions like that is such a shame I have many staff of my own and would never put my team through that environment. Merry Christmas and wishing you all some Reno’s.
After some frustrating attempts to upgrade my phone at other vendors, I decided to come to Andres and was helped immediately. The service was fast. Friendly and efficient. Couln't have asked for a better experience.
Friendly & knowledgeable staff. Car remote-start stopped working so went in to see if they could run a diagnostic. The technician came outside right away to look at it. Turned out to be a simple blown fuse which they replaced for me free of charge. The friendliness, quality and speed of service, and of course the replacement fuse are all very much appreciated! (They're also 'Maiden fans too, so there's that.)
Dave in car audio was such a massive help. I rolled in on a road trip with problems with my stereo and he dropped everything to help me get what I needed to continue. Will for sure be going to Dave with any car/marine audio! Thanks for all the help Dave! Looking forward more unreal customer service in the future
Amazing Management and staff. If have a question they can answer and if not will find it. Exceptional options for all budgets. Won't go to the big box stores these guys look after all your electronic needs.
TL/DR: garbage staff, no ethics, bad service across the board, even worse if you're a SmartStart customer.
The sales staff are uninformed on the products they sell and they have zero customer service skills. They will actively avoid helping you while in store and are impossible to reach on the phone. They have a bad habit of telling people that items are on the way when they haven't been ordered yet, prompting customers to lay deposits instead of going elsewhere. Everything is overpriced and stock is always incredibly limited.
Eric is likely the worst electronics installer in the world. His and the shop managers attempts to save time and solder/wrap wires to fuses instead of connecting them properly, directly to power sources has caused multiple electrical issues to a brand new vehicle, including dangerous shut downs in start/stop traffic. He also probably shouldn't try to sell customers weed during appointments. I have had nothing but terrible experiences at this store.
Do yourself a favour a shop elsewhere if you can.
If you can't go elsewhere, due to a DUI, then don't let Andres limited hours/staffing/professionalism cost you more money when they cancel your calibration appointments due to their own negligence and poor work ethics. Ensure you log all complaints with their partner criminals at SmartStart directly so that you don't have to pay for unlock codes due to "missed" appointments. By not holding Andres accountable for continuous cancellations, these two companies are actively working together to charge you more for the services they have a monopoly on. The fact they have the sole contract to perform ignition interlock services in the area is ridiculous.this company needs some kind of oversight and better management.
Went in a couple months ago knowing exactly what TV I wanted to buy. I stood by the counter and watched an employee putter around, clean, and che k his phone but he completely ignored me. We even made eye contact a few times and he didn't even stop to say hello. After being ignored for more than 5 mins I took my business elsewhere.
I have been doing all my phone business with Danielle at Andres for over a decade. Danielle’s service level and knowledge is always excellent. No matter how busy it is she always has a smile on her face and is so great to work with.that is why I continue to go back and why I refer all my friends to Danielle.
I have been a customer of Andres Electronics for years. Their customer service is impeccable - every employee that I have dealt with through the years has always been very friendly and helpful. They always go Above and Beyond to serve their customers. Thank you to the entire Tesm at Andres.
I went to install the remote engine start for my car. I was offered a massage chair, big TV and a wi-fi all available in the waiting room. While I was getting my massage and watching Top Gun 3, a manager cam to me and said: "I have a good news for you - I will not charge you $500 - you already have the remote engine start in your car. And, by the way, feel free to finish your massage and watching the movie". Honesty is the best business!
Always a pleasure deaking with the staff. Im a long time customer. The people that know me treat me well. But even when there is new staff, they treat me as if they have known me for years. Very eager to help and respectful.
This is the place to go! These guys know their stuff. Very happy with my new audio system. Tricky install with to tie everything in with the OEM head unit but they nailed it! Crisp and clean sound. Amp and DSP install looks like it came from the factory!
Dave ALWAYS goes above and beyond in customer service! Best products, best prices, a wealth of knowledge, and customer service that is second to none make Dave and Andres THE place to go!
Absolutely phenomenal service on the whole stores behalf, the store manager was beyond wonderful. She was polite over the phone and answered every question I had to ask. She’s extremely professional and goes above and beyond for customers and staff!
I would like to thank Kiara Chrystall for making our cell phone renewals a pleasant experience. Her expertise and kindness made it a real pleasure. Thankyou Kiara
Had an issue with a stereo I bought three years ago at Andre's and took it in. The guy was awesome fixed it for me on the spot! Excellent service. Will definitely head there first for electronics and appliance shopping.
Got a quote by a newer employee for a subwoofer install. When I went in for my appointment Dave was able to save me 600$ off the original quote by sourcing a box that could fit under my seat instead of building one. I could tell they wanted me to get what I wanted as cheap as possible, instead of focusing on gouging me for money. The install only took a few hours and was super professional, works great. Can’t recommend this place enough for any car audio needs. I’d definitely recommend speaking to Dave as well.
Even though I never received a call back after having left messages over a period of three days my experience at Andre's was very pleasant and they had in stock the item I was calling about and for a bit of compensation for not returning my calls they further reduced sale price a small amount as an apology. Thank you, it was a pleasure doing business with you. P. S. I know I will be shopping there again.
Very professional and honest fixed my car audio they diagnosed blown fuse, replaced the fuse and did not charge any thing for it. Made my day thank you.
I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Andres and Danielle, best price in town and unbelievable customer service. As I’m well aware shipping time frames are all over the place but Danielle stayed on top of my order for my new build the whole way and kept me informed. I’ve dealt with numerous other appliance stores in Kamloops and found it very challenging. Danielle save the day and save me thousands of dollars! Look no further if you are looking for the best price and the absolute best customer service make sure you shop at Andres and talk to Danielle.
Always friendly and extremely knowledgeable staff. Josh always comes thru with Telus options and service and Easton knows his products. Management runs a good store, great location with many unbeatable prices. Wish there was a little more room to shop around inside, as sometimes looks like a wearhouse with inventory everywhere. Overall very good.
Never a bad experience when dealing with Daniel she is amazing. Daniel knows her job so well it make every purchase exactaly what we want, we wouldn't go anywhere else. PS her smile is contagious even behind a mask
I have been going to Andres for awhile now. They have installed my remote starter. I deal with Telus mobility they them as well. It’s always great professional service.
I shopped on line and drove around for the best deal on a new tv. All the prices were the same, but what was made worse was that very few places had the TV in stock. Andre’s had the TV in Stock and also beat the Only store “I found” that had it in stock. The Sales staff (Tony) AND Manager of Kamloops store was extremely helpful. The other store was $150.00 cheaper on everyone’s sale price, But Andre’s beat it by another $50.00. All though that may not seem like a lot on a $3100.00 purchase (sale price $3299.00). I take into consideration that, Very few stores had the high end tv in stock and No other store would lower their price for me to compensate for ordering from a warehouse. Andre’s earned the sale and My Loyalty to their Business and staff service. Bravo to Your Team. Adrian de Mooy
Best customer service I have ever had! Even with short handed staff during the holiday season the one on one service for finding the right product and price to suit my needs was exceptional. Would highly recommend anyone to go here.
Extremely professional and helpful. Great experience with knowledgeable staff without the high pressure sales pitch - highly recommend if you are looking for good prices and staff who know what they are talking about.
Had a dash cam installed in my SUV. Was recommended by several places to go here for one. Service was good and the install was done well. Highly recommend them. Very happy with the install.
Don't waste your time. Went in this morning around 10am to buy a remote car starter and the car audio guy didn't even acknowledge i was there. I waited for him to finish on the phone and he proceeded to act busy while ignoring me. Do not go here go anywhere else. I went to Visions right after to complete my purchase.
Danielle and the rest of the gang at Andre's in Kamloops are #1! Couldn't be happier with the service I got when I was looking for a specific new TV, and their price was fair compared to the competition. A week later the same TV was advertised for $500 less and their price protection policy kicked in. The refund process couldn't have been easier! Makes it easy to have confidence buying local vs the big box guys. Buying a new phone from them was painless too, and their $50 "setup charge" was offset with a $50 gift certificate. One happy customer!
Dave and his team are really accommodating and are some of the most knowledgeable folks to ever work on my car. Best in the business for car audio and I wouldn’t take my vehicle anywhere else.
I went to 2 other places before coming here to try and get my car starter fixed …both places took over an hour to look at it and they said you need a whole new car starter system put it which would have costed me a bunch of money…. With my last hope I took it here and I’m so glad I did! Not olny did they fix it…. It olny took them about 15 mins! So much time and money was saved by coming here leaving it to the real experts that actually know what they are doing! Thanks so much for the incredible service and now my car will be warm for the winter…. Thank you!
Great experience getting a new phone. Easton was super friendly and helpful. Made getting a new phone REALLY easy! Will definitely be back to the store.
Had an upgrade to our vehicles stereo system. Dave and Eric were fabulous at the job and explaining the new system to me. Thx guys. Totally appreciate the great service.
Very knowledgeable staff and their follow up to ensure customer satisfaction is excellent. Great products at a very good price. Have used Andres in the past over time and only continue to achieve great sound, advice and service. Thanks Andres for making my experience a good one again!
Appliances were damaged when delivered. The boxes were broken into a million pieces and it made a huge mess in my driveway, since they tried to open it up before I saw the damaged packaging. Yes even old people can own cameras and check them to see why their yard IS FULL OF STYROFOAM.
Never going back. Contemplating sending the video to the police to get the buggers for littering Styrofoam EVERYWHERE.
I have an ancient stereo in my work van. I've been transferring it from Van to van for at least the last 25 years. My sub finally broke its seal and needed to be replaced. I walked in here, and ask them for something cheap. He pulled out an old Rockford fosgate sub, and gave it to me for such a terrific price I couldn't say no. Now I'm looking just to upgrade the entire stereo in the van, so I will definitely be coming to these guys cuz they treat you right.
Dave was very helpful when I needed to replace my stereo in my vehicle. The service was outstanding and timely and I felt like a valued customer whenever I visited with him. I highly recommend his business for all your car audio needs.
Needed to upgrade my phone. I went in and got the absolute pleasure of having Danielle help me. She was very knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and so very helpful. After that I was having troubles with my Apple Watch and she helped me fix the issue right away. Can’t possibly recommend her more.
Awesome experience, just wanted some cheap speakers to throw in the back of my car, helped me out even checked out the old stock ones just to make sure I was getting the right speakers, after that he gave me a small discount which was super nice. Awesome place, will come back when I get new speakers for my new car
The service was excellent and Jaden was knowledgeable. He answered all of my questions and was able to assist me in choosing the product that best met my needs. Thank you
Danielle at Andre‘s is always most knowledgeable, fast and happy. She answered any of my questions and helped me with the setup of my new iPhone. I’ve been a customer for years and won’t go anywhere else!
Andre's botched install fried my subwoofer amp. I paid the Stereo Warehouse to fix the problem and install a new amp properly. I will never go to Andre's again.
Danielle is absolutely amazing! Couldn’t make an electronics purchase any easier! Even with all my questions she was super patient and very informative! That lady knows her stuff!
I went to Andres to upgrade my TV and I found the service to be pretty good. All my questions were answered, the store was clean and the associate was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful!
I’m not a knowledgeable stereo/electronic guy so I Get Dave And his team to take care of it for me. He’s prices are very fair, and his attention to detail is unheard of. I trust them 100% with my accessibility modified vehicle that has a ton of money invested in it. There’s not a lot of businesses that go the extra mile like Dave does. I would highly recommend them, you won’t be disappointed.
Very knowledgeable and helpful staff. They had the one obscure adapter I needed to complete my stereo installation and were great to deal with. Thank you!
Needed my dashcam hardwired into my new car and called a few other stores for info and they never responded back. Walked in to Andre's, made an appointment within minutes and just had the job done a few days later. Quick and clean install and very personable, confident staff.thanks, Dave!
Great service. Dave’s a knowledgeable car audio tech. Had a hick up with my computer do to bent pin on install. Brought it back and am very happy. Thx.
I called in to inquire and was greeted by Dave. He was friendly and professional. Due to someone rescheduling he was able to get me in within an hour. In-person i was greeted by Dave and he was the same as on the phone. He sprayed down the area and did touch less service Eric brought my vehicle around and explained how the starter worked in an understandable way. Explained warranty. When I left I was happy and confident with my new car starter, already planning on using Andre's Car Audio again. Would highly recommend Dave and Eric to my friends and family. Thank you, both you made this customer very happy and greatful
Great experience as always at Andre’s, this time I was in to get a couple iPhone 12s, James was super helpful and a fun guy to deal with, helped me get in and out with no hassle. You where right dude, I’m digging not having the damned rounded edge iPhone max!
My remote for my car starter was acting up. It was nearly 3 years old. I stopped in to Andres and within minutes they had a new remote programmed to my vehicle at no charge. Outstanding service
I was met with a greeting and it just so happened that he had just finished with another customer so he was able to see me right away. When I was uncertain about the item I needed for my car (car charger) he asked if he could check in my car for me which he did. He had the item I I wanted and even the colour I wanted. I paid for it and I left. Josh is very good at what he does.
Bought a 65" HD OLED from Danielle. Wasn't happy with it, (too big for my viewing space) brought it back and Danielle helped me find one better suited to my needs and size. No problems. Very professional and helpful.
Josh was super helpful and knowledgeable. We will totally be going back to him for all our cellular needs. And thanks for saving all my pictures! You were a god send
Josh and Quinn are two amazing guys that helped me upgrade my phone and switch my plan over! They didn’t have the device I wanted in store but Josh went above and beyond to another location just to get it. I couldn’t have asked for a better team to help me out! Thank you both!
Excellent service, needed the restroom as we were there for over an hour, it was horribly filthy and no paper, good thing I had some tissue! There should be a separate washroom for customers as it can take quite a bit of time to have services completed like changing service providers.
James was excellent. Knowledgeable, patient, and very willing to assist me. He went the extra mile to have telus drop the last bit of payout left on my old phone and get me the best phone available. He took the time to help me get started setting it up and explained the features clearly. He deserves a pat on he back!
