I walked in for a consult and met Sam, and right away, I could tell he really knows what he's talking about. First thing he said was that he wouldn't charge me just to give me a quote, which already set a great tone. I came in after a bad experience at another audio shop that completely botched my install. Sam took the time to walk me through the process, explain everything clearly, and offered real solutions instead of just trying to upsell me. He even recommended a custom sub box specifically tuned for my subs and at a solid price too. I ended up putting down a deposit and will definitely be coming back to get my audio properly retuned. Huge thanks to Sam , I'am looking forward to getting it all done right this time. read more

Went in to replace my two front passenger/driver windows, waited maybe 5 minutes to be helped. The tall blue eyed man at the front counter did offer recommendations to try and upsell so I did feel a little pressured but I was set on what I wanted done. I used a Groupon and I just don't get why they'd get upset if we don't want to upgrade, if they don't want to offer a low price deal then why even advertise on Groupon? Makes no sense to me. I even let them take off the tint which was $20 each window, I could've done that part at home myself but I wanted to give them some type of business (eventhough I've already spent money on the Groupon). They should let their work speak for itself and let people decide wether or not they want to come back and get more work done. I lowkey felt like they were talking behind my back and if I hadn't felt that way I would've most certainly brought my car back. They did such a great job! In under an hour which was faster than I anticipated. I'm torn on how to feel, I do recommend this place because of their work just feel like their mannerisms & the customer service could've been better. read more

This review is intended to inform and assist consumers who are searching online for the best professional service with a positive experience. Service provided: 10 Speaker / 1 Amp Installation Summary: Pros: Merchant agreed to lower their hourly fee from $125 to $100 Installation was completed early in 3 hours rather than the estimated 4 hours (2:15- 5:15) Cons: Poor communication Haphazard work ethic Misleading in terms of agreement Lack of attention to detail Merchant justified charging me 4 hours rather than 3 hours because he paid two employees to attend my vehicle to complete the job early Details / Time Line : (Time line is accurate and documented from google maps, Uber and iPhone logs along with the final payment receipt statement) 1:52 pm Arrival 1:55 - 2:07 pm Merchant Inspected my vehicle and estimates the job could take 3 to 4 hours. The hour fee is negotiated and reduced from $125 to $100 per hour. Merchant reassures and confirms with me that If installation is completed any earlier I will not be charged for the complete 4 hours 2:11 pm Merchant drops off my vehicle in their back garage to begin installation and I Uber back work 4:14 pm I called the merchant to check on the time estimate of completion and when I could pick up my vehicle. Merchant confirms estimation will be around 5 pm and is very adamant about me returning before 6pm (closing time) because of his priority to pick up his daughter 4:47 pm I retuned asap and was directed by the merchant to wait in their lounge area where empty water bottles and soda cans were visible 5:15 pm Merchant announced car speaker installation is completed 5:15-5:25 pm I tested my car speakers and inspected the vehicle installation and interior and noticed the driver side door panel was loose and not secure When I brought the side door panel concern to the merchant's attention he at first was dismissive about the issue. I had to insist twice before the merchant would eventually attempt, correct and secure the door panel tightly Shortly afterwards the merchant drives my vehicle immediately to the front parking lot without my final inspection and confirmation about the door panel 5:29 pm Payment is processed and completed. Merchant charges me for 4 hours even though the job was completed in 3 hours. When I brought to his attention that three hours ago he agreed not to overcharge me if installation was completed early he was dismissive and justified charging me 4 rather than 3 hours because he lowered the hourly fee and had to pay two employees to attend my vehicle to complete the job early Disappointed and leery of the merchants honesty, professionalism and work ethic I went to my vehicle in their front parking lot and doubled checked the boxes for the older replaced speakers count. I noticed 4 original speakers and some speaker boxes were missing I notified the merchants to find the missing boxes and also to come out to the parking lot and find the missing speakers Merchant found the missing boxes and speakers and put them in their correct boxes. Turned out the missing speakers were thrown in together in the wrong boxes, (10 speakers were in 4 boxes rather than 10 Speakers in 7 boxes) 5:37 pm Departed Conclusion : Although I was discounted a lower hourly rate and the job was completed...., being overcharged an extra hour and the negative experience was not worth it. read more

I used them twice. First time to install a new car stereo and then second time a amp. Both times they told me it would take 2 hours... first time it took 7 hours. Second time 5 hours. Additionally, they do no explain their systems in the beginning, or after installation. Last, they lost a special pair of eye glasses, taken out of my truck and lost. They told me they would find them and send to me. NEVER HEARD BACK. I would NOT recommend this company!!! read more

Unprofessional. Bashes brands that they don't carry, price gouges and upsells "quality" work and brands as better than it is. Owners more interested in Facebook views than he is giving the customer what they want. read more

Be careful people !!! They will try their best to steal your money by give you a fake diagnoses then they will ask you what is your budget to fix the issue... I went to them to replace the driver speaker because it was bad and vibrated with the hight speed and made noise .. while after they "diagnosed" the vehicle they said that the whole radio system need to be replaced and that will cost $1450 !!! To be honest I believed them and I paid the $ 101 diagnosis fee and not ready to fix the radio for $1450 and decided to leave it alone.. friend of mine helped me to sole the problem and replace the driver speaker for only $30 and that's it. No vibration and no noise any more ... and I enjoy listening to the radio read more

I needed my aftermarket backup camera issue diagnosed and they took me same day. I called multiple car audio shops and this car audio shop told me they could get it done.

Pretty straight forward guys. Went and got my windshield tinted same day to help block with the Texas summer heat. Took them around a hour and it came out great. Fair pricing, and great work. For fast service you can't really beat it. Would go back read more

I will never go anyplace else! Not only were they all professional and friendly but the service, timeliness, and value was fantastic.

This is a good place to go to if you want any kind of tint or radio system. Matt and Sam the owner are great guys who work with you to give the best service possible. When I went I got my tint done which looked great and also got subwoofers installed. Unfortunately my radio went out shortly after and they helped find the best solution to make us both happy. Would highly recommend giving your car need to them over Car Toys or one of those kind of places. read more

They try to up charge for a better tint than the regular one. Since you can't see the them put the tint on, how do you know the difference? Expensive? Since the location is in Addison I'd say yes. Would I recommend this place? No, and I've been twice. Never again read more

***Definitely recommend!***I walked in to get a quote on window tinting for my BMW and did not expect to leave with a fully tinted car! Staff was very professional and knowledgeable to the point I felt comfortable enough to spend the money after a short yet informative consult. They were able to fit me in right then and there and I only had to wait an hour. Very quick and efficient team they have there. Waiting room has a Roku TV for the kids and I was able to connect to Wi-Fi and get some work done. If I am being nit-picky, the waiting room is a little small but it is very clean. Another key indicator that I made the right choice choosing this place was the people I met in the waiting room. I met two different people who had traveled over TWO HOURS just to come here to have their cars worked on. read more

Messaged them and got car in and done same day for window tint, they do great work with good pricing

Had to take my car back multiple times to fix issues they caused when installing my subwoofers. And they still dont work.

I made an appointment and got me in the next day. The guy there was super chill, I got the ceramic window tint, took about 2 hours but overall I was very satisfied with the quality of the tint. read more

My experience: The customer experience was almost threatening; repeated up-sale attempts and each time I respectfully declined their aggressive sales attempts they made me feel less and less welcome. Picked up the car and as I was walking out the little guy behind the counter raised his voice and asked if I was going to leave a "TIP" for the guys in the back? Really? I haven't even seen the work yet? Felt talked down to and sensed something wasn't right because I was of ethnic culture! Just saying! read more

Just left with ceramic tint. It's crazy reflective & I can tell a difference already. I'm nervous about all the bubbles but realize they may have different baby shampoo / solution & different wedges than my normal guy has. You can press a little harder but risk creasing or damaging the film which is wasted time & product. You just let it dry & see what happens. That's what their guarantee is for! They were very clear about being welcome to call with any issues. My doors were messy with all the drip but you have to understand the more solution - the faster & better they place it. You don't want it to stick too quickly. These things that do come along with the job. If you need it perfect, get a kit & do it yourself. It's not that difficult til you get to the back windshield. They're pushing 5 windows & a visor in about 30-45min. You're in & out once they get your car in the bay. They're being flexible right now with everything happening. You can't complain when you look at the listed price versus what they may offer depending on your needs & the speed of it. Happy I came here. read more

Drove all the way to McKinney from Dallas to get my vehicle tinted all around. They promoted a discounted price online for the cheapest material which they didn't mention. When we arrived the guy gave me the highest price , this place is way overpriced. But their tint job is more impressive than the price. Since they did a decent job with the tint and I wouldn't give them a 2 stars with the deceiving sales price. read more

Custom Car Stereo & Tint put tint on all of my windows 3 years ago. Recently, I went to the car wash and they used the wrong type of cleaner on my front windshield and it began to peel. I went by CCS&T 2 months ago to get a quote. I went back last week and the verbal quote was honored, without hassle! Both staff members were helpful & polite. It only took them 1.5 hours to complete the retent!! I have sent 2 of my friends to them & they were also satisfied. I HIGHLY recommend them! If I get another car, without tint, I WILL go back to CCS&T. I consider myself a life long customer. read more

Best tint shop around the DFW! Fast service that was done well and the thicker film really does make a difference in this Texas heat. And I love that they back up their work with a lifetime warranty on the tint to that specific vehicle that received the tint. I've recommended Custom Car Stereo and Tint to several people already because you can't find good work just anywhere. read more

They tinted my windows and had two big bubbles when I picked the car up. They told me the bubbles would go away once the installation fluid evaporated. A week later the bubbles were still there so I took it back. They blamed me for the bubbles accusing me of rolling my window down which isn't true! If it were true then why did it have bubbles when I picked it up???? They said they would remove their crappy tint job for free but I'd have to pay full price to get it re-done correctly. If they make this right I'll remove my review. If it's still up that means they did not take care of their poor craftsmanship. Buyer beware! read more

I took my sons car in today to have them install his 2 12" subs and amp. On top 9f this I paid them to replace all 4 interior speakers with top od the line Rockford Fosgate punch 6x9 for the rear and 6.5 for the front. These are priced around $120 per pair. When I got home and looked at the speakers I noticed the installed $50 Cerwin Vega 6×9 in the back and then $50 6.5" prime series Rockford Fosgate in the front. They also charged me for a hi/low converter that was not installed nor needed as I have an aftermarket radio deck with the proper inputs. DO NOT TRUST THESE PEOPLE. I will have to wait until Monday to speak with them and figure out why and what they're going to do read more

These guys do excellent tint work on Midway in Carrollton I have had them do several jobs over the last 3 years. They are prompt and with or without an appointment, they make sure you are in and out with quality work being done. I am very picky and can tell you, they are very professional. I have never had to take my car back from a problem with the application. FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS THAT THEY GIVE YOU AFTER INSTALL. Now, I'm thinking about their stero systems. While there, young cats were powering up their sound systems and the sound was impressive. Not a head banger but like quality sound. It is next on my agenda with Custom Car Stereo & Tint. read more

Why these guys are not at #1, I have no idea. Incredible: service, price and product. Same day installation and it was fast!! Price is better then all the other places I checked. They have a great deal on Groupon but I passed on that deal and went with the higher tint. No high pressure just very knowledgeable about their products and service. This was just my first purchase from them. I got my whole SUV tinted but I am sure I can find more things to add to my SUV. Love Them!!! read more

I got my 2019 4Runner tinted here. Fantastic deal and they were very informative about the types of tint! Highly recommend.

I recently purchased a new Audi Q5 and noticed on my buyers order that the dealership was attempting to charge me $499 for window tint. I asked them to remove that "service" and immediately looked online for a tint shop. Custom Car Stereo & Tint was the first location to come up and its because the service was impeccable. I got my entire vehicle tinted for 60% less than the dealership was attempting and I couldnt be happier. Now thats a real FLEX!! read more

I absolutely could not be more pleased with my choice to use these guys to replace the tint on my truck. The price was good, the quality of the product is great, the speed of pulling my old tint off and adding my new tent was crazy fast.

They installed a Rydeen digital parking sensor system to replace a broken system I had. Ordinarily, this is a simple thing to do without error. However: 1. They installed the LED display in front of my car dash panel preventing me from reading my own car's display near the odometer. How stupid is that. I had to open the dash cover and re-route the display just over the steering column so that it would not visually block other gages on my dash. This is what they should have done. But first, they should have ASKED me where to put it since there are a number of options according to the manufacturer (not just one according to Sam) 2. Upon assembling the front dash cover assembly, they accidently pinched about 4 inches of connector wire bundle between my dash and dash cover which you can easily see when looking at the dash panel display. It took me about a minute to unsnap the dash cover to push through and free up the wire bundle placing it behind the cover where it belonged. The guy assembling everything obviously did not check anything after finishing up the assembly. It is hard to miss something like this but he did. 3. This Rydeen DSR4000 kit comes with a second speaker which they installed on the top left corner of my windshield. The problem is it doesn't function since I only have rear sensors (second speaker is for front sensors if installed). Sam said that was so it would be ready whenever I installed front sensors. Yeah, really. I told him to take it out since it blocks my view out of my windshield and I don't need front sensors. Because Sam balked when I expected him to fix all these problems, I decided to fix them all myself. All I did was to open up the pillar A cover and tie-wrap the speaker inside the pillar cover to hide it. I fixed this with no help from this stereo shop. 4. The installer moved my previously installed hands-free Bluetooth mic from the center location just under my rear view mirror to a position on my windshield just in front of my head. How annoying is that !!! ...to look forward and see a microphone all the time. Again, pretty stupid. After taking the pillar A cover off, I noticed the installer pulled the mic and tie wrapped it for some stupid reason. I cut the tie wrap and moved the mic back to its original (and proper) location. Problem solved in 5 minutes...but again without help from this shop. 5. The installer messed up when putting all the rubber door seals back in place. I had to pull and uncrimp some sections he obviously missed because he assembled it in a hurry. He unfortunately prefers speed to quality. 6. Sam forgot to give me the users owner manual for this product and could not find one when I asked for it. Sam could not answer any of my questions regarding the second speaker so I had to go online to read all about it to see if my installation needed it (it didn't). Sam does not seem to know his own inventory. Not only did Sam forget to give me a users manual but when I asked (twice before they did anything) for all the old parts back I only got about 1/2 of them back. Concluding: If you want shoddy workmanship, then you have come to the right store, Custom Car & Stereo & Tint on Midway Road. Sam will sell you stuff but obviously does not care about any issues after the sale. If only he laid out choices to his customers and understood his products better, he might avoid such issues. If they comment about anything, I hope they don't give all the excuses and lies they have been giving me the past 2 visits. read more

I went to this spot because our car didn't pass inspection, it was las inspected in Kentucky and our windows were 12% lower than Texas specs, I was in and out of in about 45 mins (that's taking off the dark tint and replacing it with a lighter tint) service was excellent and the customer service was right on time!!! Covid protocols when you come in so wear your mask read more

POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE I picked this company to put in my back up camera because I thought they were experienced professionals. Boy was I wrong When I picked up my truck I drove it home. My home has speed bumps and after the first one, the camera moved so that it was facing straight down. Upon investigation Custom Car Stereo & Tint broke the camera bracket, tried to glue it and also forgot to put the screws in the camera to secure it to the bracket. I spoke to the manager and asked what they were going to do, he said he would speak to the owner and get back to me.............since then (Oct 4) crickets...........Never hear back POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE read more

Called for info, drove in 15min later. Within 40 minutes of pulling in the parking lot I was leaving with full tint job. excellent customer service, super fast work with high quality results.

If you're coming to this spot for tint be sure you know why you're getting it done (to keep your car cool, aesthetics, etc). They provide ceramic tint (which is well known for keeping cars cooler than the traditional 3M). Do your research, ceramic tint is very different than 3M and it comes at a premium. I came to this spot after getting another truck. My friend got her tint done by them the previous summer (and they did a great job) so I figured I'd give them a shot as well. My experience was not the same. It took 5 hrs to complete the job and I had scheduled an appointment prior. I asked for 5% but none of the windows were the usual limo tint nor were they dark like my friends car. The driver side window didn't set properly so I had to take it back to get that window fixed. I let Ryan (the manager) know that I wasn't satisfied with the job and that it looked very light. I also noticed none of the window tints matched (when looking through the interior). He stated all windows were 5%, that my rear windows were not clear but had a natural smoke color so that was the reason for the differences in the shades, but he had no problem fixing the driver side window and darkening the front windows. Monday comes and I'm back in there to get the tint fixed. Ryan let me know that he'd be willing to install some sound upgrades I had previously inquired about for $1700. I asked him if his installers were knowledgeable in installing one of the pieces of equipment, he assured me they were and I approved him to move forward with the install while fixing the windows. He did cover round trip transportation for me so I wasn't waiting at the shop all day. I get back to the shop at the end of the day, he demonstrates the sound system and low & behold the subs are not working and the kids are not wired correctly at all. Ryan states he doesn't know what's wrong and I will need to come back the next day to get it figured out. As for the windows, the installer adds 5% to the fronts although they're already "5%". Now the fronts are too dark, so dark that I can't even see through them and they still don't match the rear (from the interior). I made Ryan aware that I'm extremely irritated and unsatisfied with my experience with them. I come back the next day, bear in mind my patience is extremely low at this point, toss my keys on the counter and sit in the waiting room. A few hours later, the front windows are back at 5% and the subs are working but my driver side rear door speakers are not working at all (mind you, they were fine when I got there). I'm livid at this point and Ryan has the nerve to offer me after market speakers at a discount; he was serious. I let him know I didn't trust him or the installers at this point. He refused to take responsibility for damaging the speakers stating "speakers go out all the time" and "I'm doing everything I can". At this point, I just want a refund on the labor (~$300) so that I can take my car to go get fixed elsewhere since his crew did not complete the job. He replied the owner is the only one that can process refunds. I talk to the owner, Sam Smart and he's as horrible as Ryan (I see where he gets it from). Refused to take ownership, condescending, belittling, judgemental - you name it. Now I'm out of $2200 and need to get everything re-done. Do yourself a favor go ANYWHERE else but here. read more

I went here to get speakers I bought at car toys installed saved me some $$ as their prices are reasonable. The whole process was quick and they communicated when it was completed 10/10 would recommend coming here! read more
