WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING

  • We were looking for an AV company to install an outdoor TV and speaker system, and a friend referred us to Surf City Audio Video and its owner, John Slater. After reaching out to John and a few other companies, we decided to move forward with him—and it was easily the best choice we could have made. John did a fantastic job from start to finish. Everything he promised was delivered on time, within the quoted price range, and exactly as expected. Beyond his professionalism, he was genuinely a pleasure to work with—so much so that by the time the project was completed, we almost wished it wasn’t over just so we could keep working with him. We strongly and highly recommend contacting John if you’re looking for a reliable and skilled AV professional. You won’t be disappointed.
