About John Kleis Audio

Our History!

John Kleis Audio commenced trading in Reading in 1977 providing In Car Entertainment. The very first Car Audio specialist to offer unbridled quality to any vehicle.

In Car Entertainment was only just arriving in the UK and John Kleis Car Audio, known then as C.A.R. “Car Radio Services” was able to provide a specialist service to everyone at affordable prices for the very first time.

In those days the products available were cassette players, 8 track systems and radios. Only a few radio stations were available, but these were coming on stream very fast and making a demand for quality music in all road vehicles of the time.

We very quickly established a name for reliability and value within the Reading area and grew from strength to strength.

The name John Kleis soon became a household name in the Thames Valley Area as it still is today.

No matter what type of vehicle people owned, be it van or car, everyone wanted music and John Kleis was the one they wanted to trust to provide them with it. John always prides himself on providing a top quality service and reasonable prices to everyone, that was his motto in 1977 and it remains so today.

Those were the days my Friend!

By the summer of 1981 we had out grown our first premises in Reading, so we moved to our new premises in Basingstoke Road where we still operate today.

The grand opening was attended by Mary Hopkin, the very talented young singer of the time. Customer’s came from afar to see the new premises.

In Car Entertainment in the short period from 1977 to 1981 “just 5 years” had changed dramatically. More and more quality products were coming on to the market and the digital age was really starting to move fast.

John Kleis ensured that he kept up to date with all the new products coming onto the market, and further ensured that himself and all his staff were highly trained to deal with the new era of In Car Entertainment.

Many businesses have come and gone, but thanks to his insistence of being the best, John Kleis has continued to grow into the most reliable specialist in Reading.

With the maturity of the digital age upon us John Kleis Audio should be your first port of call for your Digital needs.

All our staff are fully trained to the highest level and our fully equipped workshop to the rear of the premises enables us to give your vehicle the highest standard of fitting available.
