Install Experts

At Walco, we’ve been doing installs since our inception. It started out as a service for those buying our radios, but pretty soon we started doing installs for all kinds of equipment and into all kinds of equipment!

Semi? Pickup? Thousands under our belt.

Excavators? Yep. Loader? Sure thing.

Tractor? Done that too!

Oh and don’t worry, we know how to work around the whole aluminum truck problem.

We are happy to install any product you buy from us, including radios, boosters and even dash cams. You can also bring in your existing equipment for install!

Call in and book today 250-372-0054.

Renovations!

It’s a new year at Walco Radio!

Over the holidays we have been busy with renovations! Come check out the fresh new look!

We are also branching out into new product areas. We have already added InReach, HESPV Solar and cellular repair to our products and services.

Wait to see what else we have coming to better serve our customers!

We look forward to serving you in 2017!

In Memory: Steve Inouye

To many of our long standing customers, Steve was a friend. He viewed his clients as his friends, and treated them as such. Steve would spend hours on any problem, and drop anything to make sure a client was taken care of.

Clients still come in and ask for Steve. They remember him from the 25 years he spent behind the counter, eager to assist and happy to have a chat and catch up.

At Walco, Steve was family. To us, he was endlessly dependable and always, always there. No matter what was needed, Steve was always happy to help. He stuck by us through 25 years.

His loss is felt through our whole organization, and it is felt by our clients.

Let us remember Steve- by his smiling face, his stories, his eagerness to help, his loyalty, his limitless patience and support.

He will be dearly missed.
