    I had a pleasant experience getting an alignment done on my 5 series bmw. They finished quickly and…read moreprice was reasonable. They did up charge me for a specialty alignment and were unable to provide me a spec sheet so I Couldnt even see what was done. I will use them again in The future but might specify my wants before they start the work.

    I want to love Ken's. But my experiences are like dealing with two different companies . On one…read moreday they are beyond excellent and cannot do enough to satisfy the customer. And to boot, they do work that no one else would touch. For me, that included a complete rebuild of my 2006 transmission in 2024 in their shop. Yes it was costly but it was not a remanufactured tranny and extended the life of my car. If the engine goes, I'll likely return for an engine rebuild rather than a remanufactured engine. On another day, some basic work that should be simple and easy they seem capable of completely missing the mark. Couple this with their reliance on Metro Motor.com and their BG maintenance recommendations and you have what feels like a very hard sell to get your money. The BG recommendations are like a laundry list of what you MIGHT do to your auto if you had unlimited funds and just wanted to spend freely. There seems to be no rnyme or reason to the recommendations either in milage or elapased time. Don't get me wrong. I don't mind paying premiusm prices (which Ken's is) for premium work. That's the issue. I feel like it's sometimes worth it and other times not. I've reached the consclusion that they will get my more difficult jobs but routine maintenance will be handled elsewhere. I wonder if over time they have changed ownership or have new sales incentives in place. It's a shame. I really want them to be like The Car Talk guys from Boston and only do what's right.

I had a small budget for something temporary so I purchased a Pioneer unit on Amazon. Afterwards, I contacted Hot Tint in May 2022. They responded to me that day and told me to stop by the shop. I made an appointment for later that week. When I arrived, I asked them to install the unit and a backup camera. I can't recall how much time it took but it was done in a reasonable amount of time and I'm happy with their service. I called a few other shops around this time. A couple had other projects and couldn't get to me for a few months. A couple of others didn't want to touch the van because of its age, manufactured in 1989. Hot Tint was straight-forward. They said let them see what I have and they'll let me know if they could use what I had or needed something else. I appreciate that approach. I did have a couple of problems but they were responsive. While driving home, my radio rebooted twice. The cable came loose so they told me to return to the shop so that they could fix it. The second is my clock resets to 12:00 every time the vehicle is restarted. They told me to bring it by so that they can fix it but I haven't. I'm rarely on the screen to see the time and just had other priorities. I mention these items to show that they were responsive and willing to troubleshoot the problem. I rate them high also because there are many mechanics and technicians who can work on a classic vehicle but refuse to do so. There are a handful like Hot Tint that jumps right in and do the job. I'm finally ready to add an amp and subwoofer so I will be contacting them again soon.

They came highly recommended the first time, and that recommendation absolutely held up. From scheduling with Aaron to getting clear and timely information from Chris to Hector taking the extra time to walk us through the phone app setup, the entire experience was seamless. That level of service is exactly why we came back. If you're in the market for a dashcam and want to make sure it's installed properly and set up correctly, this is the place to go. Aaron and his team genuinely take care of their customers. Free parking is available.

    To be honest, I hate yelp. But I only came here to specifically post this because I can't post…read moreanother review on google. On two different occasions did my car get broken into, first time my window, second my door handle. The second time was far more detrimental as I had pretty much 2-3k worth of audio equipment stolen. After that I knew it was enough. Absolute Electronix saved me the worry of having my car broken into for the third time. I asked for their best security system earlier last week, and within the same week on Friday I dropped my car off in the morning and about 4 hours later my car was ready to be picked up. Upon picking up I was showed the key details of my new system and how it seamlessly works with my old fob. I was always iffy about these aftermarket systems up until I saw it for myself how much I was missing out. I've lived in this area my whole life, and I will continue to do so knowing this business will stay. I know and forever will be grateful for Ata and his hardworking team

He did an exceptionally thorough and clean installation of our front and rear dash cameras, carefully hardwired them into a complicated Honda electrical system using professional wiring references to identify the correct connections, and also mounted and wired our CB radio.

After I sent him the dash cam details, he confirmed the appointment right away and was on time the day of the install. I brought a dash cam I purchased on Amazon, and while other installers told me they only work with certain brands, Marco had no problem handling mine. He completed the install in about an hour, and the work was clean and neat--no loose wires, no odd panels, nothing out of place. He returned my car to me exactly as I gave it to him, which I really appreciated. He partners with a tint shop that has a comfortable waiting area, so the time went by quickly. I live in DC, so it was about an hour drive for me, but honestly, the professionalism and quality of the install made it completely worth it. Highly recommend Marco if you want a smooth, straightforward, and well‑done installation.
