Brent was so communicative and helpful. He went above and beyond to help me get my car started after a failed battery. I've never had a negative experience at this location. I recommend it if you're looking for friendly, reliable service! read more

CAR TOYS - Helped me get my car started with no complaints. Such a caring team! - Auto Detailing Near Me - Friendswood, Texas

Definitely don't recommend car toys to anyone. There quality of work is half ass and they are the reason my sub had a failure. It took over three times of me bringing in my truck for them to fix it right. This company was also bought out back in December of 2025. You can't get in touch with a corporate office to complain. Save your money and time and go somewhere else. read more

The hours online say they open at 11 am on Sunday. I drove 45 minutes to get here. It is 11:30 am. The front door is still locked. I called and someone answered to inform me that they do not open until 12 pm today due to the fact they are "doing inventory." I am on a tight schedule on my one day off and can not wait 30 minutes. Most places do inventory during non customer hours. And if that is not something that can be done then take the few minutes to change the hours online for the day. Out of respect for the time of your customers. I will definitely never come back to this location. read more

Knowledgeable staff. Not pushy. Informative. I felt comfortable with them. Seemed to give consideration of my needs. Will definitely use them if I decide to replace my car radio. read more

Honestly, just walk in and take a look at this place. Does management ever do a walk-through? You'll get an idea of the type of people you're working with based off the condition of the inside of the store. The waiting area looks like they do oil changes there, the bathroom has probably never been cleaned although there's an empty bottle of 409 in there, and their showcase rooms look like a teenager's bedroom carpet with spills and stains everywhere. They are so overpriced that I know they can afford to hire a maid service to come clean up once a week. Damn. Now let's talk about service... I'm here right now at 1130am still waiting. My appointment to get 3 windows and an eyebrow tinted was at 9am which is when they open. They didn't pull my car around until 1030. I came to the store in person and made my appointment on Monday but the guy never booked it or saved the price he gave me but I was told I'll still be taken care of, eventually I guess. This place is nuts. I talked to 3 other customers so far and everybody had complaints about their appointment, not honoring verbal quotes, and one guy paid for one brand of car alarm and then they tried to give him another brand. I used to really like this place but until they literally clean their act up and get employees that respect their customers and their time, I won't be back unless it's to have warranty work done. Edit: I just got out at 130pm, 4.5 hours later. Pic of the windshield is the condition I got it back in. Thanks, Car Toys. read more

Friendswood, TX location Before husband's deployment: CT installed door popper kit. During husband's deployment: I decided to customize his truck. The doors wouldn't open and the fail safe/ emergency switch was missing! CT manager/GM stated the tech no longer worked there. I requested that someone fix the issue. Months later, I was still trying to get the issue resolved but was being bounced back and forth between managers, stores and corporate. After dozens of AAA calls and countless battery replacements, we discover the door popper kit has a short! I contacted CT and ask for the manager to find out he no longer works there! Again, I have to start over trying to get someone to fix the issues. I still can't get in unless I break in, battery after battery is being drained, and CT still won't take responsibility UNLESS I pay again! Post deployment: My husband's truck sits with a dead battery and a string attached to a heavy tool to prevent lockout. He told me to do whatever I want with the truck because his injuries prevent him from driving a stick shift. I don't feel I should have to take it elsewhere because we paid for lifetime warranty and CT allowed an incompetent tech to shortcut his way through the installation! (Shouldn't someone check the tech's work before releasing the vehicle to the customer?) I AM PISSED! CAR TOYS DID NOT HONOR THE LIFETIME WARRANTY ON THE DOOR POPPER KIT that was NOT installed correctly! Still NO ONE has called to assist because the techs no longer work there! read more

Prices were not transparent on installing the units I purchased. Adding a $30 fee to install the head unit and a separate $30 fee for back up camera. This fee is supposedly for little miscellaneous wire connection material and zip ties. It's added to the total automatically without telling the customer. With Transparency my review would be a ton higher, being sneaky about that is not good business. read more

I recently had a tv/dvd player installed on my pickup truck for my son. The guys showed me a couple different options. Once I decided on the overhead tv they said it could be installed same day. The install looks great. Definitely recommend this location. Will return for any other accessories I need. read more

Went in to get my amp tested to see if it was bad as it just stopped working but had no burnt smell and the dude wanted 10 bucks just to test it. if it had tested bad, I would have made a purchase of a new amp on top of needing a satellite antenna. but I don't need to be gouged. So, they're greed and lack of customer service lost them probably about $300 in sales... read more

Very helpful and very friendly. Hubby will have a new radio and backup camera next week. We have a 2007 Solara convertible and excited that they can do the install in less than a month! read more

Very rude over the phone. Was not helpfull at all. Asked for a quote and wouldn't give it to me. Would not recommend to anyone.

Had problems with a Viper system for a while (installed by another company). Took in and was attended to quickly. They took apart the "brain" of the system and ensured everything was in working order. Now my viper works flawlessly. Highly recommend! read more

Joel was extremely helpful more than I could even ask and I would come back just to have him help me again 10/10 customer service

Went in this morning my pioneer 8400nex went out after 3 years! Went ahead and replace the unit for the Kenwood dnx997xr way better! David and Mike took care of me!

David is a awesome installer he had me out in about an hour I was shocked he's very knowledgeable too he knows his stuff! I want to say thanks to David and Mike both I will be back to see you 2 again thanks guys! Robert C6 corvette!! read more

Aside from being ridiculously expensive, this establishment is a joke and they do not have any respect for their clients. I had scheduled an appointment with many days in advanced and when I dropped off my vehicle, hours later I come to find out they haven't even touched it. What is the point of having a schedule and/or scheduling appointments when they don't keep track or care for them? I will never come to this place again and the only good thing about it is that it is right next to a Subway so if you go here, at least you know where you'll have lunch and dinner from waiting so long for them while they take their time messing around in the garage. read more

I had a head unit and camera installed. Dealt with Rick (install manager) and Will (store manager) and both were very helpful. Rick was very familiar with my car and he did an excellent job on the installation. Will also helped me with information for possible future hardware. Finally, Will accommodated my need for a work area while waiting and found me office space on site. Very helpful people and addressed all minor bugs post-install very quickly. Plan on using this location again. read more

Worst salesman ever. Went in on Tuesday May 26th. I explained just what I needed bare bones upgrade from factory. He explained why I needed blah blah blah. I said no don't need any of that. He laughed at me and showed my the joke section. I explained my budget and he said "okay...I'll be right back let me take this phone call" and left. I waited 10 minutes and he never came back. As soon as I said I wasn't buying an $800 amplifier he completely ignored me." I would NEVER go back. This young kid told me what I needed. Didn't give a rats what I was asking for, what needed. read more

I was so incredibly happy we chose this store to purchase our daughter's car stereo. Jimmy, our installer was polite, helpful and didn't try to oversell us. The store manager, Will was awesome! He even found a phone charger for me while we waited. The stereo made my 16 year old grin like she was 6 and the new windshield wipers and the spotlessly clean car made me happy! Thank you guys! You made our day so great! read more

I had a radio can camera installed in my car and Alex helped me pick one out, installed it, and showed me how to use it. Would definitely come back and recommend a friend!! read more

I walked in and was told by an associate that he would be right with me. As I was waiting a few more customers came in and were immediately helped. Soon after that an associate who was ringing up another costumer finished and stood at the register for a moment before looking at me and walking away. I was done and decided to leave after over 15 minuets of waiting. read more

Spent a lot of money!!! Following day drove into work and system starting cutting in and out. Found ground wire was not making contact. They stripped hole that was holding ground so every time I turned up ground would break free. Dropped truck off night before and let them know I needed by 5 next day and they said no problem. Called before going to pick up and they said they needed till 6:30. They completed trick at 9:45. After taking all day and night I was not willing to go back after amp problem which was caused by ground. Fixed myself. Would not recommend. read more

I had such an amazing experience in this place when I wanted to change my car speakers. The associate took the time to explain to me exactly my options and the different advantages and disadvantages of each. Also didn't mind teaching me some technical points when he felt I'm interested to learn more about the subject before making me decision. He also made the pricing very clear of what's the price of the devices and how much is the installation in each case. This was my first place to stop and check my options so I honestly took all the info and pricing he gave me and I toured in the area and went even to Houston area to other places that had great reviews about the service and the prices to compare offers. But none of them was a better deal than this place nor made any efforts to explain my options or gave any helpful info. And none even cared to separate the prices of the info than the installation so I can compare accurately. So eventually I went back to him to buy and install. The prices were the best and he gave me even better deals than he offered previously after a short talk, and they installed them in under an hour time! The end product was an amazing set of speakers, very professionally and cleanly installed, with an unbeatable price both for the speakers and for the installation service! They also have an amazing service warranty and free uninstall and reinstall for the old equipment if you decide to sell the car. This place is a gem! read more

If you are in the market for any type of car accessory, there really is only ONE place to go and one person to see. Teddy at Car Toys in Clear Lake off of El Dorado and Gulf Freeway. Teddy is extremely knowledgeable and is always a pleasure to work with. Over the last ten years he has consistently over delivered and has always been competitively priced. The showroom is very nice and you can tell they take great pride in their work based on the cleanliness and attention to detail. I can tell you that on my personal vehicle and on my clients vehicles there has never been any issues. In fact, he has bailed me out of more than one complicated matter. Thank you for being not only a valuable asset to my organization but also a professional friend that I can count on Teddy! read more

Another great car stereo install! We have bought car stereo systems here for all of our vehicles and never have been disappointed.

I will not go back or recommend this place. I had a stereo input in my car. I was happy until i turned on my A/C. There was a noise. I told them they said they would v have to order a part from the dealership. After nearly threes weeks I had to call and find out the status..the part came in and they did fix the noise. However my A/C does not change mode...i have no defrost and doesn't go to the floor. Only to my face. So i walked back in and told them it's not fixed. The service guy comes out and tells me they did this as a courtesy and i have to go to the dealership to get fixed...i had zero issues with my A/C until AFTER my install. You get a great stereo but they mess up everything else then it's your problem. read more

I had this company evaluate an install for me, made an appointment for the first thing in the morning, showed up early and they assured me the car would be the first in the bay and finished that day. Should have known things were going to go bad when the guy next to me also had an appointment and was turned away. After 5 hours, they hadn't even touched my car. I took it home and installed it myself. I wouldn't recommend taking your vehicle here. Their pricing is also quite high. read more

Antonio and Jose are awesome. They're very knowledgeable and professional. I will return to this location for anymore updates to my car.

Had a head unit installed here with a SiriusXM Kit and Bluetooth and did an excellent job with installation. Very polite and professional. 100% better than any place I have had service done at other places. 2nd time in 8 years and they have done an excellent job. read more

This is the second time I've used this place. The first time was five stars on another vehicle. This new system works terrible it has been in here five times and still doesn't work right. They have worked with me every time replacing parts but it still doesn't work properly won't unlock all the doors at the same time or start consistently. I will be bringing it back next week for time number 6 read more

Treated with great professionalism by assistant manager Brent. He was thorough and explained the process for the backup camera and GPS I wanted. I saw the same service to other customers from other employees. 5 star service! read more

So frustrated with Car Toys. we had an 11:30 appointment to have a keyless entry/security system installed in my son's truck. We'd been told when we scheduled it that it's about a 90 minute or so install. To me, that's setting a (not unreasonable) expectation that we would be able to pick up the truck in about 2-3 hours or so. When we got there the installer said they "might" be able to get it done before closing. Seriously? What happened to our "appointment"? Why even set an appointment when it seems like they're really working on a first come/first served basis. grrrrrr. I'll take my business elsewhere... read more

To be called Car Toys, they don't really have a lot of merchandise. Went in there for a car burgler alarm remote cover or replacement and said they didn't sell them. Even the guy behind the counter with all the tattoos said we can sell you a dancing dashboard ornament. Please!!!! I don't need the sarcasm . read more

I had an excellent experience! Needed a full sound system installed the same day and Nick and Elie went out of their way to get it done! Good price and quality work! Would recommend to anyone! read more

Terrible, terrible service. DO NOT COME HERE. These people don't take their job seriously. I scheduled an appointment to have a device removed from my vehicle and was told that it would take up to one hour max. I was told to be there at 10:30a.m. I showed up early and sat waiting, and after a while I was told that I had 8 cars in front of mine and that they wouldn't even put a hand on my car until around 3pm. After much deliberating I had had enough and left the place because I had no other choice but to leave my vehicle. When I called the place again they told me they still hadn't even touched it and that it would be ready by 6pm. This was a scheduled appointment with a weeks notice. I can't even begin to imagine how other appointments or walk-ins are like. The guys here do not have any respect for anyone. The only helpful employee was a guy named Teddy but still wasn't able to help all that much. DO NOT COME HERE. ALSO IT'S VERY EXPENSIVE and you can get whatever you need for a lot cheaper elsewhere. read more

Very professional and helpful. Had some trouble getting responses but overall doing ok. my only complaint is that there is a coffee maker in their waiting area, with no coffee. That would be nice right now... read more

I wasn't sure what to expect from car toys but I must say they did an exceptional job on my install. I added a 10" JLw6 and they installed the amp in location that is stealth in a Lexus RX450 hybrid. The job is so... professional you would think it was stock from the dealership! The staff was courteous and professional for all interactions. read more

2 stars just because it's looks nice on the inside and the people are nice other then that every thing is so expensive even the base models of anything a sub box that u can get anywhere else for 50 it will cost you 300 plus tax everything from radios and subs are marked up at least by 30% of original price not invoice not worth it unless maybe you bring your stuff and want to install it anywhere else will charge you 60-100 did not ask them but wow its ridiculous read more
