Justin returned my call the next day. I bought a new dash cam and wanted to install it as soon as possible. I called several shops and they were all booked until mid-January. After negotiating with him on a fair price, he said that he would take time out of his morning on 12/26/16 to get it done. His garage and demeanor may seem unassuming, but Justin was as professional with the install of my dual dash cam as any business owner could be. Not only did we sparks up a friendly conversation, he got the job done nicely. In fact, if I stopped chattering with him so much, he could have done the install about 1/2 an hour earlier. I highly recommend him for any of your dash cam, remote start or lighting needs. I will definitely recommend his services to all of my family and friends and use him again for any future projects I need. Thank you, Justin! read more

Back again, decided to get some diagnostic work done on the remote start by Justin. Fixed (in my opinion, not by his fault), within 15 minutes. While wanting to get a 12" sub installed, Justin noticed my oem battery was extremely old and also not pulling the right ample about of voltage. What does he do? Ordered me a replacement battery and installed it as well. This is the middle of winter, and boy was I glad he caught this for me. Talk about exceptional integrity. Moving onto the sub install - my car is a pain in the ass to install audio work in. Both Justin and I did not foresee this happening, however Justin took his time and made sure it was done and done right. After all was said and done, let me tell you - taking the long drive I do to come here, is worth it every single time. Time to come back with my bike in the spring. read more

It's rare to find an individual who cares deeply about what he's doing as well as equally care about his customers. I had Justin install a backup camera and front/back dash cam on my 2013 Toyota Prius. Both involved taking the whole dash off as well as do electrical wiring. Justin did both with ease and knowledge. I don't know about you but customer service and delivery means a lot to me. His quotes are pretty competitive. I know this cause I'm the type of guy that calls 15 places to get a quote. If the guy on the other line is rude, doesn't care, and just wants you to come so he can charge you an arm and a leg, don't care what yelp says about them... I stay clear. Though Justin didn't have many reviews, first impressions were right on and delivery was right on. Would highly recommend his services. I'm taking my Odyssey to him to fit in a dash cam soon. Great experience. read more

Professionalism and quality workmanship installing LED fog lamps on my new car for which no aftermarket kits exist at this time. He hand crafted mounting brackets from Air Force grade aluminum! He kept his word on the budget and completion time even though it was more work than he anticipated. His knowledge of car electronics is beyond reproach, and he is a righteous regular guy. I highly recommend Crucial for any automotive electronic customization needs. read more

I had a Avital 5303L remote start/alarm installed in my 2010 Cadillac CTS. I went here strictly for the price. I only paid $200 for the install being I had the unit already. Took about 2 hours and works perfectly. Every where else I asked was charging $350-$500 not including bypass modules and stuff. I was however surprised when I finally arrived at the location to find it was a house and he works out of his garage. Don't let that stop you though. Justin is very professional and did the job right except my trunk release won't pop with my new key remote otherwise I would have given 5 stars. read more

I don't trust many people with my car. I took a chance on this shop and I brought both my vehicles to Justin after the way he dealt with and installed the auto-remote start on my 2010 Odyssey.

Will be coming here from now on! read more

Was looking for a new shop to install a remote start in my 2018 4Runner. After reading the reviews for Crucial I decided to stop in and talk with Justin. Let me tell you, don't let the location or the entrance fool you about the work and the care that Justin puts into his work. He is very professional and listens to what YOU would like done. As a surprise that day he squeezed me in at the end of the day and after several days I can say that it works as Justin told me it would. I would recommend Justin to friends and family. For those interested in only costs. You get what you pay for but Justin is very fair and will not push you for more than you need. read more

I had subs installed into my car and I couldn't be happier. This guy was very nice and he really knew what he was doing, I could tell he has done it all before. The price was the best around and it took less than 2 hours to complete. I would definitely go back to this guy for more installation and I would recommend him to a friend. Great service and amazing prices, you would be a fool to pass up on this company. read more

I found the spot on Yelp. I have a 2007 Toyota Corolla and I bought all the parts and a new stereo at BestBuy. Justin was not just a cool and friendly and helpful guy, he acted like a longtime friend. We had fun and he replaced my stereo in a quick time and even helped me to fix some stuff in the car - also set the custom eq for the best sound. Would definitely recommend and that's where I'm going for getting my new speakers! Thank you VERY MUCH Justin! Your friend from Argentina, Juan Ignacio. read more
