    Repeat customer here! I took my 1500 to Al & Ed's for a sound upgrade and some lights. Johnny was very knowledgeable and courteous. He was receptive to my needs and provided expert advice on how to enhance my sound and lights. Inside, a 10" Subwoofer and an amplifier was discreetly installed and outside, I now have kick-ass LEDs that will light up my world! As for the rear, I wanted better illumination integrated with the reverse lights. The outcome was better than expected. The sound is legit and lights make driving a joy when the front ones are engaged. The install was quick and while small and discreet, those rear reverse lights are a game changer in low-light situations. Well...Johnny & company did it again and I left a very satisfied customer. These guys know accessories and how to make it look (and sound) good! Highly recommended!

    I showed up about 30 minutes after the posted closing time. However, an employee opened the door to ask what I wanted. I needed two components of a subwoofer tuned by a professional. He and another technician worked on my gear for about 20 minutes. When finished, they refused to accept any payment for their services. And, my subwoofer is distortion free and sounds great! They won my loyalty with courtesy, competency and service.

    We came in to upgrade our Chevy Van's stereo. The guy who helped us was helpful and to the point. We got an Alpine with Apple Play. They were booked a month out. I could have gone to best buy and got free installation, but I wanted to make sure our new van wouldn't have any issues. I asked if he could hook up the back up camera. So it would display on the larger screen. He was very up front and said sometimes he can. Well they did! They did an awesome install, it works with the factory volume on the steering wheel and everything. Very nice crew here! They've been here a long time and are really busy. Don't be put off if they don't answer the phone! Go in in and they'll handle your needs with skill and courtesy.

    This place is a poor excuse of a off road fabrication shop!!! On September 1st, 2014 I dropped off…read moremy Chevy s10 to get a long travel kit installed. We agreed on them deleting my abs system, install upper and lower control arms, coilovers, fabricating upper control arm mounts, fabricating shock hoops and mounting bump stops. The quoted me $2000-$2500 for all the work/material. They also told me it would be done in 2-3 weeks. Almost 4 and a half weeks later I got my truck back to find out what a hack job was done to it. All my brake lines are clearly bent using whoevers thumbs. My driver side Coilover binds not only on the upper control arm but also on the shock hoop and to top it of one of my tie rod bungs was only welded about 1/4-1/2 of the way around. When I went to pick up the truck justin, the owner, tried charging me almost $1000 more then the estimate I received when I dropped it off. Which I might have been okay with if everything was done correctly but it wasn't. And they never even mounted the bump stops. When I took the truck back in to ask what was going on with the binding of the Coilover justin told me that was the only way it could be done unless I change my whole brake setup which he kindly offered to do for a large price. Number one he's wrong about that being the only way it could work and second I called 4 times to try and figure out when I could drop the truck off to get my brake setup done and the suspension cycling correctly and SAFELY but never received a call back when they "figured out their schedule". I'm currently looking into taking them to small claims court. Let my mistake be a lesson you don't have to learn. Bottom line, STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!

Going here was more of an experience than just getting tint and ppf. Wasim walked me through the entire process with suggestions and no pressure. I could see the passion and dedication he and his team has for this as well as making customers feel appreciated. I had all of my windows tinted and front ppf and ceramic in the rear of the car. I bought screen protectors for my front and rear screens and asked Wasim if he could assist me with putting them on. Without batting eye, Wasim said he'll get it done (no extra charge). I especially enjoyed watching my Tesla's progress via Instagram. Wasim's team is very good about posting and showing their amazing work. If you are looking for a place to take care of vehicle, feel comfortable about coming here. It really is a fantastic experience.

    After purchasing a new 2026 Tesla Model 3 for my wife, I decided to look into paint protection and…read moreceramic coating. My 2018 Model 3 had held up nicely over the years, but I noticed several scratches and paint chips that could have been avoidable with the proper protection. I had no knowledge or experience with PPF or ceramic coating, so I began researching. My research advised that XPEL was the best brand; however, the most important factor was choosing a quality installer! "A mediocre installer putting XPEL on your Tesla can produce a worse result than an exceptional installer putting STEK or LLumar on it."After looking over Yelp reviews, I reached out to four of the "best" PPF installers in San Diego. Wasim of SunDiego Auto Spa responded within one hour. The others responded 4-5 days later. Wasim quickly provided quotes for full PPF, ceramic coating, and window tinting. I had to wait nearly a week to get competitive quotes from the other PPF installers, which pushed my project further out than I wanted. Upon obtaining three quotes, I visited each shop to understand their process, environment, staff, and ability to educate me about paint protection. Wasim took time to educate me about the various options, techniques, and software. He also showed me several vehicles with PPF and tint being installed. More importantly, the team was approachable, friendly, and engaging! Happy employees generally result in happy customers. My experience at the other shops felt much less engaging and educational. I was given basic information about pricing and timeline, and had to request a tour of the shop. We settled on XPEL Fusion PPF (full coverage), XPEL Premium Ceramic Coating, and XPEL Prime XR Plus window tint. The price was very competitive, and the results are outstanding! You can see the finish quality on all sections of the vehicle. SunDiego Auto Spa removed badges, trim, and wrapped edges for a virtually invisible application. Other installers simply cut around badges and trim, leaving visible seams. Wasim went above and beyond by also agreeing to install our third-party mud flaps and applying protection to our interior displays as a bonus! I would definitely recommend SunDiego Auto Spa for your project and hope to be bringing a new Rivian R2 to the shop soon!

However, after ordering an exhaust nothing went smoothly. They sent me the exhaust with parts missing (which was noted after install). When communicating with the advisor (Durwin), he would go weeks without an update, blaming it on one party or another. After over a month with my car not in use and a credit card dispute filed, they ended up asking for the part to shipped back to them for which they would charge me a 35% restocking fee.

Nothing through them was worth me waiting 2 weeks for an appointment, dropping the car off, renting a car for 2 days and then returning to be told they didn't do anything. There wasn't even really an apology to me, he seemed more pissed that he couldn't sell me the product and make money, almost like it was my fault he failed to research what he was selling. Finally I dont know why hes gotta lie but saying they didn't remove the exhaust to swap the rear sway bar??? But somehow it also took 3 hours of labor??? He didn't want to take responsibility for my exhaust when he had the car in the shop, only after i left and told him it wasnt right, bullshit man. What an absolute horrible experience and a total waste of my time and money.

    I initially had a good experience with Michael…read more I was excited to find a nearby place that could install a stereo screen in my 2004 Honda CR-V. Michael assured me that if I ever had any issues or needed assistance after the installation, I could simply reach out to him and he would help. That gave me confidence in doing business with him. On April 15, I purchased the stereo and paid approximately $400-$470 for the unit and installation. Michael told me he had everything needed to complete the installation that same day. After about an hour to an hour and a half, he informed me that he did not have the trim piece (the border that surrounds the screen). He said he could order it for an additional $40. Since I didn't want my new stereo left unfinished, I paid the extra $40 with the understanding that he would contact me as soon as the part arrived. Unfortunately, that never happened. Over the following months, both my boyfriend and I repeatedly reached out by phone and message to ask about the missing trim piece. I have a history of phone calls and messages showing my repeated attempts to contact Michael and get this resolved. Each time, he would tell me he would "update me when it arrived" or "give me a call," but he never followed through. At times, it genuinely felt like I was being given excuse after excuse instead of seeing any real effort to resolve the issue. Not only was I still waiting on the trim piece I had already paid for, but after the installation, I also noticed that a wire had come loose underneath my driver's footwell. This was never an issue before the stereo was installed. I informed Michael and he gave me a date to come in. I was already on my way to his store when I texted him I was almost there. Only then did he respond, saying that "something snapped" in his back and that he couldn't make it. I completely understand that emergencies happen. However, if he knew he couldn't make the appointment, I would have appreciated a phone call or text as soon as possible instead of waiting until I had already started driving there. That lack of communication was extremely frustrating and showed little regard for my time. I strongly believe that if you make a promise to a customer, you should keep it. Reliability and communication are essential. When customers spend hundreds of dollars, they deserve honesty and follow-through. After months of trying to get this resolved, Michael finally gave me another date to come into his car stereo store. I arrived before our scheduled appointment, only to call and find out he was running late. I waited approximately 15-25 minutes past our agreed time before he arrived. Once he began working on my vehicle, about 20 minutes later he informed me that he had accidentally broken one of the plastic clips inside my dashboard. He told me he would have to order another replacement piece and, once again, assured me that he would let me know when it arrived. Just like before, I never heard from him. As you can see in the photo attached to this review, the missing trim piece is very noticeable. This isn't a minor cosmetic detail--it is an unfinished installation that I paid an additional $40 for and still have not received months later. I gave Michael multiple opportunities to make this right. Every time I reached out, I patiently waited a week, two weeks, and sometimes even an entire month hoping he would follow through with a call, text, or even a simple update. Instead, I found myself having to repeatedly initiate contact while receiving false promises. My car is still missing the trim piece that I paid for, I still have concerns regarding the loose wire from the installation, and I have spent months trying to resolve a simple issue. What disappoints are the repeated promises that were never honored and the lack of communication after payment had already been made. Based on my experience, I don't recommend doing business with Michael. I sincerely hope he improves his customer service, communication, and follow-through so future customers don't have the same experience I did.
