Replaced stereo
Nicolette B.

I came in this morning because my car was making an insane sound. Sounded like a helicopter was flying right over my head! Turns out it was the amplifier. Art took my car in and got it repaired within a couple of hours and for a very reasonable cost. He also recommended a very nice cafe with WiFi just around the corner to kill some time. The cafe (The Arctic Penguin)? and the service were both 10/10!! Highly recommend and will use again!

Lights swap to HID's

Before I came in, I called and I asked some Questions that I had. Got some answers and I didn't feel like I was being rushed to hang up (which is already a good start in my opinion) Went in to find out AND see the Micky mouse job that was done to my head lights + fog lights. Martin installed my hid's that brought my mew headlights to life. Nothing seemed rushed and the customer service was good. I would come back again, aside from the fact that I HAVE TO

Came here in my 95 Hardbody to get a bluetooth Kenwood Radio installed along with some kicker speakers. It's been a few months now and I haven't had any issues and I can certainly say the audio is a lot more clear/crisp than what it was before. I would definitely recommended this place for your electrical needs and for the pricing I can't argue whatsoever. I'll be sure to bring my fathers Datsun for some needed love.

I bought a car alarm. Viper 1 mile range with a few extras(Custom to my liking) Ibrought in my POS 1987 toyota 4runner sr5 (which comes with electric door lockers/openers). I got a competitive quote but Art Sr. seemed knowledgeable in the Car Alram installls. I took a chance and i was very pleased with the patience, customer service, safe keeping of my truck over night, and the over all commitment to pleasing the customer. I definitely recommend California Installs on 314 s. Soto st. Thanks Art. - the guy on the Ebike- ke como chingaba

Medium tint on front windows and dark tint on the back
Alex L.

Rolled up and asked about a radio/speaker install as well as a full tint job and walked out a couple hours later without breaking my bank. Awesome work

Window tint! 20% all around
Lupita D.

Like always, California Installs always comes thru! With their many years of experience and knowledge these guys always do an awesome job! Friendly and honest! Came in for car window tint same day and was ready in a few hrs!

I had my stereo installation the same day I called Art. He and his team were very professional, explaining the nuances of the stereo that I brought in to have installed and quoted me a competitive rate. Service was 10/10, I will go back here to get other stuff done to my Honda Civic. Thank you!

Limo tint in the back 3 windows and medium tint in the front two.

I got my windows tinted here and I love the end result! I would definitely recommend anyone looking to get theirs tinted and the price is not bad for such amazing work! I went with limo tint on the back 3 windows and medium tint on the 2 front side windows.

I got connected with Isaac through Yelp when I was looking to tint our Tesla Y's front windows and…read moreroof. Solid quote and got an appointment fairly quickly. Isaac was a pro, he explained our options and after we selected he got to work. About 3-3.5 hours to do our two front windows and the roof. Turned out super good and we are over the moon with how it turned out. A+ and recommend GI window tint all the way.

Hard pass on Isaac. I originally had him do my windshield in Rayno 35%. It was good and fine. So I…read moredecided to have him come back to retint the whole car because I wanted it darker. I went with 5% Rayno, and that's where it went wrong. Rayno offers 2 colors for tint so the 5% didn't match the one he used for the windshield, I wish I researched this but the 5% is brown and the windshield has a grey tone. He also sliced the rubber on the front fixed glass, he also didn't tint it all the way for the small front fixed glass. Personally for what I paid I'm not too far off from getting Xpel XR Plus. Yes I told him I'm disappointed and really it's a FYI but as a business owner he decided to just read my message and not reply. He clearly doesn't give a crap, he got my money and this review will not steer people away but I'm venting. I HAD tint and I was removing the glue and I told him I'm leaving the corners for him because I didn't want to cut the rubber and what do you know? He cuts and damages the rubber. I'm ordering replacement parts now for the damaged rubber seals to which the glass is attached to and will need to retint the car. So I'm going to be nearly $1000 down the hole for this ordeal. So thank you for taking my money.
