CBS did a great job on fitting a tow bar and front parking sensors to my car. They also had great recommendations on the best bike racks to use with the tow bar. Great service and now I've seen all the other car audio goodies they have on offer, I will definitely be back! Highly recommended!

What an awesome bunch! Ordered Soritmo van racking and they were my local fitters. Unfortunately on the day of the installation they discovered my new flooring was not sent with the racking! No problem for them, they quickly sorted out some temporary flooring to allow my racking to be fitted same day so I could get back on the road earning my living. Been back to have the correct floor fitted as agreed. Brilliant service from these guys, Sortimo could learn a thing or too from them. Will be using their services in the future to fit a tracker on the race car!

I had CBS retrospectively fit heated seats into my car, they did it in a day and they are so neat and smart. A friendly and skilled team who responded to any queries I had really quickly. Couldn't fault them - thank you so much.

I have just bought a new Fiat 500CE from our local Fiat dealer in Cambridge. I decided that I wanted the 500 stripe and Italian badge packs on my new car. Since the dealer did not fit the packs, I chose to try out CBS Automotive. When I went to collect my car, I had a lovely surprise as the decals and badges had been fitted. They had been put on very professionally and really enhanced the look of my car. They look fantastic and I'm so pleased with the job done. Thank you, Carl and Adil for a great job! I highly recommend CBS Automotive.

I used CBS to install rear parking sensors on my new car. I found them via one of their videos on Youtube. I used the website to email them for a quote which was done and emailed back to me within the hour.The workshop is clean, tidy and professional and the work was completed in one afternoon.The work was carried to an incredibly high standard and the service from the staff was superb.Would highly recommend and will definitely use them again if needed.

Had a new head unit installed by these guys and they were very professional! The installation was no hassle at all and the job was done on the same day (make sure you give them a call before you go). Now my car has a new head unit which is much better than the OEM one. All the staff are kind, professional and knowledgeable. If you have any concerns, check their ytb channel, I was attracted by their amazing demos before I decided to go.

Really helpful and able to fit us in short notice. They were very professional and friendly and I could not recommend them enough, will definitely not think twice about going to them in the future.

I was having difficulty entering the radio code following replacement of the battery. Not only was this carried out without hesitation in a most pleasant and agreeable manner, but they refused to accept payment. Service like this is rare. I will have no heditation in using them on another occasion.

Alex Laraway

19:48 20 Jul 21

They were professional and very well on time. They retune my speakers as it was let down by the previous different companies. Steve, one of the worker that did my tuning. He was very passionate about it and spent time with me to talked through how the whole set up work and gave me advice for future reference. Now my brother will be getting his done too. Highly recommend

I had a drain on my battery and despite several attempts my usual garage couldn’t find the cause. It became a real problem until a friend recommended CBS. They were amazing. They were able to identify the cause of the battery drain and only charged me for one hours labour.

Richard Green

07:48 22 Oct 20

First class work and customer service. They booked my car in at short notice to fit a tracker that was required by my insurance company. Everything completed on time and to my satisfaction. Would definitely recommend and use again.

Great service from a local company that obviously cares about its service and its reputation. Priced a little higher than other options, but you get what you pay for. Glad I chose them to fit my towbar.

Just want to do a shout out to Adil and the team at Cambridge Car Audio, just collected my T5.1 and it sounds immense.Shame I couldn't collect it sooner due to lockdown! Thanks once again guys, definitely recommend you guys in the future.

Michael Griffin

21:11 22 Feb 20

Had front and rear dash cams installed and once again another great install and customer service from them. Courtesy car was provided straight away with no hassle. Dropped my keys off and that was me done.Great after service taking time to show me how the dash cams work and what i would need to change around depending on preference and how easy it was to operate. Dash cams were out of view and not obstructing view.Another great install.Thankyou

18:47 15 Feb 20

Cambridge Battery Service (CBS) has always had a good reputation for fitting high-end ICE and other components to equally high-end vehicles, but they recently sorted out a long-standing electrical issue on my somewhat more mundane car too.Their friendliness and approachability as well as their obvious skills and experience is very confidence-inspiring so, although I appreciate people will travel a long way to use them, I'm glad they're fairly local to me as I've no hesitation in being a returning client.

David

20:21 12 Feb 20

Absolutely wonderful service. Brilliant team. Dash cam fitted - couldn’t have asked for any greater attention to detail. James - excellent installation; Josh - a very detailed and thorough talk through of all the intricacies of the dash cam. Anyone thinking of dash cam installation would be well advised to give them a visit.

michael waterson

15:44 27 Jan 20

I brought my own car radio, and phoned CBS to get them to fit it!! This they did, no fuss, no bother!!! Wonderful service, cheap,and very very friendly! Would definitely use them again in the future

I recently had a Kenwood head unit fitted in an American truck. Not only were the Guys at CBS knowledgeable they were completely professional at keeping me up to date with the job and everything was as I was told it would be even though the job wasn't as straightforward as planned. I'd thoroughly recommend them.

Gwen Beale

20:12 25 Jan 20

Had front sensors fitted on my car yesterday. Very pleased with the quality of work and the staff are lovely. Highly recommend this company. Thank you everyone

10:09 16 Jan 20

I made an appointment to have a tow bar fitted to my Audi.The only very minor problem I had was finding the premises as the postcode gave me a point a little to the south. This was quickly resolved by a telephone call and CBS is easy to find if you keep going north of Horningsea. I only mention that since everything else went so well. The place was spotless not really what you expect for tow bar fitting. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. My four and six year old grandchildren entertained and made welcome. The operation of the bar was explained in detail. Finally the car was smart and shiny. I left feeling very happy and my thanks go to all staff including names I remember Adil, Steve and Chrissie.

Tara and Keith Saunders

10:37 14 Jan 20

Great job fitting reversing sensors for my wife's Nissan Juke. I only wish I'd had it done earlier. The sensors perfectly match the bumper colour and look as clean as any factory installed sensors. Clean sophisticated showroom and work area. Good communication and overall customer care.

Toria Avis

18:26 06 Jan 20

Excellent service today from these guys. Very professional set up...will definitely be back for the rear cam fitting!! Thank you

Tim Blake

05:08 17 Dec 19

I had some heated front seats fitted at CBS, right from the start I was impressed with the professional set up not just of the layout and building but the staff too, I was given a courtesy car and well looked after, on my return they had done a remarkable job, neat, clean and above all professional, they also cleaned my car out too, going to book my works van in next for reverse sensors, quality work CBS, I'll be back.

Neil Roberts

19:28 29 Nov 19

Great service by the guys there. Josh (I think that was his name) was very professional and gave me great advice. Wasn’t pushy and trying to up sell me things I didn’t need. I had a subwoofer fitted and Tim the fitter did an amazing job and even went above and beyond to make sure it was a top quality job. Would highly recommend these guys 👍

Edward Hyla

11:06 22 Nov 19

These guys are a professional and highly competent outfit. What's more, they can do the jobs that the others can't manage. I needed a sympathetic update/ upgrade to my old Alfa Romeo. Great customer service and I was able to carry out my own work in the comfortable reception area, while they worked on my car. Top marks!

Paul McPhater

13:39 06 Nov 19

Very professional and knowledgeable team here. I had a water ingress issue with an amplifier and they have given great advice and secured a method to attempt a repair potentially saving lots on a full replacement. I am newish to Cambridge and glad I now know of another quality place with top notch people.

I had a Blackvue dashcam front/rear + battery fitted at CBS Automotive. Installation of the rear camera is not simple on my car but they have done an excellent job. I am very happy with the results and I highly recommend this place if you need any of the services they offer!

CBS fitted my parrot about 18 months ago and did a brilliant job. However recently the software on it started misbehaving so I took it back to them. They were able to fix it on the spot and couldn't have been more helpful. Excellent job and faultless customer service. I wouldn't go to anyone else.

Russell Shadbolt

13:20 19 Aug 19

CBS is a serious outfit worth travelling for, I had security upgrades installed on my car by them, all carried out at their impressive new facility away from the hustle and bustle of Cambridge city centre. Coffee and chat with Adil while the work was carried out, in the comfort of the modern and large waiting area. I’ve had bad experiences with mobile auto electricians before so wanted somewhere a bit more professional, CBS didn’t disappoint. I Wouldn’t hesitate to have any other work carried out there.

Robinson Chapel

08:22 19 Jul 19

These guys are professional, super-friendly, thoroughly competent. The site is easily accessible, the service is brilliant, the coffee is exceptional. This is a level above anything I was expecting.

William Barnes

12:35 14 Jun 19

These guys really increased my quality of life, by getting my 2 15’s and radio back operational! I was questioning going to a shop to fix my car audio bc I enjoy the satisfaction of figuring it out on my own. I’ll be recommending CBS to my car audio friends and will definitely be going to them in the future while I’m in the U.K. for any other assistance or upgrades I’ll be needing for my car.

Nik Newark

20:40 31 May 19

Wow! The team at CBS we’re super-helpful outlining my options for upgrading my head unit and speakers, told me exactly what I needed, and undertook the neatest and most professional installation I could have hoped for. Really happy with the way they’ve looked after me (and my car) from beginning to end. Highly recommended!

Peter Heath

09:59 29 May 19

CBS fitted a removal tow bar and dedicated electrics to my Octavia which performed faultlessly for years. Brilliant job.

David Moore

15:32 02 May 19

Professional and friendly from start to finish. The team went above and beyond to ensure that everything ran smoothly. Few teething problems, as there is with any complex installation, but the guys sorted on the same day, even when I dropped in unannounced! Special mention goes to Jim for his expert craftsmanship, and effort. The care and attention to detail is fantastic, not to mention the quality of the products themselves.Only good things to say about the whole process. (The free coffee is great too!) Thanks again guys.

Cathie Brown

14:50 17 Apr 19

Lisa Chapman

Very impressed with CBS. The team appeared knowledgeable and helpful. I went in expecting to have to spend hundreds on a new system. but instead they were able to fit a new head mic for a fraction of the price. Thank you CBS

Peter Walton

19:10 20 Mar 19

Faultless service right from entering the door. Team there are knowledgeable and very helpful. I got exactly what I wanted, expertly fitted and my new Sat nav/ Dab Pioneer Head unit is brilliant.

Had a great camera system fitted in the front and back of my yesterday. Have to say Jim did an amazing job doing the installation. Plus Josh took me through how to actually use the beast.

Great service, helpful advice and friendly staff. Needed rear bulb assembly installed quickly as the whole unit had blown a fuse and had no rear lights on one side at all.Was dealt with quickly and efficiently (same day). Comfortable waiting area, superb coffee and overall, a superb atmosphere. I will be back to upgrade audio system in the New Year for sure! Thank you for your help guys, would highly recommend!

P Stearn

18:36 12 Dec 18

I rang for a quote to fit rear parking sensors and the very helpful gentleman gave me an exact figure to complete the job and approximate installation time. I thought the quote was very reasonable and promptly booked my car in for the work to be carried out. Everything went like clockwork. I left my car at the workshop at 8.30am, took my dog for a wonderful walk to Lode and back and by 11.30am my car was ready to drive away. This company is as professional as they come and I would recommend them to anyone.

Nick Holt

09:03 26 Nov 18

CBS Automotive upgraded the stereo in my BMW Z4 E89 and did an excellent job. It turned out there was a problem where the "permanent" power feed cut out after some time when the ignition was off, and so the stereo kept resetting, CBS Automotive got my car back in again very quickly, diagnosed and solved the issue. Each time they were able to supply me with a courtesy car, so I was able to go to work with minimal disruption.Thank you for a truly first class service!

Kai

23:00 12 Nov 18

Adil and his team replaced original 25 year old, blown and rotting OEM speakers, and rewired and sorted out the stereo head unit in my Honda Del Sol towards the end of summer. Paid a bit more than I expected but quality service costs money! ...and these guys did a good job in good time. Would Recommend.

Jim Hendrick

22:57 29 Oct 18

High end car audio installations, parking sensors and cameras, towbars supplied and fitted by a knowledgeable team with over 50 years experience. Also fits alarms and trackers and a wide variation of aftermarket parts. Not the cheapest but probably one of the best

David Spring

12:15 27 Oct 18

CBS Automotive have just fitted an integrated reversing camera and front parking sensors to my Seat Leon FR and what a first class job they did. Everything is neatly tucked away and looks like it came from the factory already fitted. I am so impressed with the friendly professional service I received and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anybody.Thanks to everyone at CBS for the excellent service.

John Howard

06:40 26 Oct 18

Paul Reeves

08:44 17 Oct 18

I've had the sound system now for about a month. Works perfectly. Would happily recommend. Slightly expensive, but well worth it. Replaced factory FM radio/CD with DAB etc for my MX5. Friendly and knowledgeable staff, all fitted with out issues in a couple of hours.
