BUYER BEWARE: Although Al is a polite person, whether he was not skilled enough to handle this job…read moreproperly, or simply not attentive, or lazy, or rushed with other projects, or a combination of these things ... the job was a failure, and I was left to deal with the consequences of a job poorly done from beginning to end (a ridiculously long 5+ weeks). I brought my truck to Al to install new door/dash speakers, a box with subs, and amps that I had purchased. The previous owner left the vehicle in a state that need attention to the audio. He assured me this was a job he was very familiar with, and that he had worked with the make and model before with very satisfied customers. Being his reviews (though few) seemed relatively positive, and his quote was very fair, I took a chance and gave him the work. This turned out to be a mistake. Like I said, I wanted a full speaker swap, sub install, and additionally I asked him to attend to (clean up as best he could) a sticky oil-based sound dampening substance that a previous owner had put all over the interior of the doors/panels, and was now dripping messily on hot days. When I left the truck in his care these were the ONLY issues to resolve. Over the span of 5+ weeks (an amount of time that makes NO SENSE for standard audio installation) he explained that I'd need more new hardware, all new wiring, and more. At this point I should have stopped and gotten a second opinion elsewhere. To be honest I should have stopped the project many times, because of many red flags along the way and his constant excuses for incomplete work. For that ignorance I blame myself. Nevertheless, even more hardware was purchased and "installed", and after many excuses that he "wanted the job done perfect", I finally got the truck back with countless problems. The sticky black substance I asked him to clean up was everywhere (all over my interior surfaces, exterior paint, glass, bed cover, everywhere... much worse than before), my backup camera didnt work, both of my accessory video screens didnt work, my steering wheel controls didnt work (yes, I bought the proper harness, he did not install correctly), my engine tuner had been disabled and wouldnt power on, the bass remote to the sub amp wasnt functioning, the was a .5" mistake in space for my windows to go down all the way safely, door speakers were installed without all screws, the factory doorsill lights wouldn't power on, bluetooth/carplay wouldnt enable, interior plastics were loose or broken in several places from rough handling, he scratched my exterior paint, he also scratched my bumper and taillight (from moving the truck around carelessly, he attempted to touch up), he did not mount the two amps (they were simply sliding around), the interior was covered in wire clippings from his work done without any clean up/vacuuming, there were now bugs all over the truck, and my gas light was on empty. Honestly ... im probably forgetting things done incorrectly or questionably. Thats how much nonsense I was left to resolve after buying and entire truck of new hardware and paying labor, which now feels completely absurd. At one point to check on the progress of the truck, I even showed up to his shop and Al was sitting in the removed passenger seat of my car, like a chair, that was on his workshop floor while he was working on another project. It had been removed because of work needed, but was now a shop chair? What he did in that much time with my truck i'll never know. I realize it takes time to rewire and install hardware, I realize that cleaning up a sticky material is tricky, that problems arise and need addressing. But in this much time, for this much money, I should have gotten back a perfect job, cleanly installed, without a single issue. There is no excuse, i'm sorry, this is just the truth, nice guy or not. I feel taken advantage of financially, and rightfully so. I addressed all these things with him, and asked for half my labor cost refunded. He would not acknowledge the issues were his fault, made more excuses, and would not agree to any compromise in cost after this failure. Mind you, I'm not even including the hardship of not having a primary vehicle for way over a month... I took it to another professional shop where in 72hrs the entire job was done correctly, everything resolved, and I had to pay even more money obviously. Summary: He did not come close to performing the full job quoted professionally or adequately. His business ethics may be questionable, and he handled my vehicle in a way that left it in a worse state than when it was dropped off. He had no explanation for why so many issues were unresolved when the vehicle was in his possession for an extreme length of time, and damaged it while he did. I would not recommend you come here unless you want to pay more later to undo/fix what he cannot.

He was only supposed to fix a door actuator and I also included a radio. My car sat in his lot for 5 days. The door was never fixed and he kept on telling me the part I had to get myself. I just didn't have the time to do so I'll admit but when a ahoo accepts a job they should take the time for customer service. I finally went to get my car 5 days later with a radio installed but door not planed back to normal. I am a business lady with limited time. I did pass by 5 days later when I was in area and he completely mistreated me. His book keeping is not accurate as he refused to provide me with an update receipt. I also offered to pay him to reconnect my door and he refused and confined screaming at me. I decided to walk out and post this review instead. Buyer beware. I asked if my radio had a warranty and he said yes. I asked if labor and he said yes but my radio is very staticy. When I asked him to check it make sure it was connected to antenna he started screaming again. Buyer beware here and IRS, check his books. I would give him no stars but this app requires me to do so.

The truck was handed over, shiny and looking like it came from the factory. Every molding, headlights, tire rims, mirrors, door handles, wipers, etc. were made to look brand new.

I told the dealer I thought the undercarriage of the car scraped against something and left it with them to do a diagnostic. They come back with this story about me needing a new fuel pump, and three other new parts on the car which was going to run 1,100. I told Grand Prize Chevrolet that I'd had the car there a month ago for a routine repair that went great and all those parts couldn't have gone bad in a month. They said they were right and that I could tow it elswhere if I wanted. My stepdad said, "We'll tow it out of here. All that can't be wrong with the car." We towed it to Nation, Ariel looked at it and big surprise. He found a loose wire under the undercarriage of the car! He fixed the wire and my car had been running great for 7 months since! Oh yeah, and he charged me $95.00. That's right less than $100 bucks. Needlsess to say I took the copy of the repair and went over to Grandprize and asked for my money for the diagnostic charge back.

I was concerned about my brakes so I brought it to the Lexus dealership in New Jersey before I left for my trip. The service representative said, I would be able to drive my vehicle to Florida and of course he quoted me a price, which was astronomical, even with my Veterans discount. As a woman, I always feel the dealerships tend to overcharge women, because they believe they can scare us. So pathetic! Anyway, in February I drove down to Florida for the SOBEFEST in Miami. The day after I arrived, my car was making noise and the first thing I thought about was my brakes. As I couldn't remember the repair shop I went to a few years ago, I went to Yelp and there it was, "Longlife Automotive!" I arrived in the morning and spoke to a gentleman named Mitch. He took my car to get it checked and when he came back, he said there was nothing wrong with my brakes and all I needed was an oil change. I was in shock!! In New Jersey they told me I needed new brakes and here all I needed was an oil change. Can you imagine how much money I saved? As I explained to Mitch that was even with a Veteran discount. Guess what, I showed Mitch my DD214, showing I served in the United States Army and he gave me a discount as well.
