    Went in to get just a pair of 6x9's but Sam and his crew helped us with a whole new set up !!! Sam was very patient and we couldn't be any happier with our purchase today! Elite car stereo is the BEST place to get hooked up for the best prices on the island , hands down ! Thank you Sam &' elite car stereo ! Highly highly recommended &' we will be back .

    Years ago I bought an alarm system for my Van from these guys. It worked like a charm for many years. It spoiled me with the automatic start and pager/alarm. 5 years ago after changing my van battery my alarm system wouldn't work. Then last week I changed the battery again and all of sudden its working again. The codes were off and I couldn't have the remote to recognize the alarm system. Another words, it was activated and wouldn't shut off. The horn/siren wailing would continuously be on. Had to cut the wires to drive it to there business located in Aiea. After diagnosing, they found the problem and fixed it. I was so surprised, they didn't charge me at all. Everything works like a charm. I'm spoiled again with the automatic start. Thanks Elite Alarm, you guys are the best. I will definitely be back for a new alarm system when I purchase my next car.

    Awesome place, they help me find the right tires for my truck, and it look fantastic...I would recommend everyone to get your new or custom tires @elite tires in wahiawa..

    Wires connected but doesn't turn on

    I got under glow Installed and two days go by all the lights didn't work, the wire came out when the guy said it was good. I went one day a guy said installing was 300 but when I went the following day they said 500

    Waiting to get my car wired up with alarm :)

    See all

Honestly, I wish I could give this place more than 5 stars. My other half brought his truck in for a sound system installation, and while we initially only stopped by for a quote after shopping around all day, Chris's expertise sold us. He was incredibly patient, taking the time to explain the pros and cons of our ideas and offering suggestions to make the final result even better. He also kept us updated throughout the entire process, so we were never left in the dark. What really set them apart was the extra mile they went. Even though Chris was only hired for the audio, he noticed several issues with a train horn we had installed at a completely different shop. He discovered the compressor was running continuously and, upon further investigation, found multiple hazardous mistakes from the previous installation. Chris and his team took it upon themselves to fix those errors, potentially saving us from a major headache (or worse). We are beyond grateful for his attention to detail, if it wasn't for him we would've never known just how bad it was!! I only wish we had come here from the start. We will definitely be back for any future additions to our vehicles!

    This review is LONG overdue, but it's been about a year since I got my car windows tinted, and it…read morestill looks and feels as if I just got it done yesterday, so it just really goes to show how good the quality of the tinting Hi Tint does is. I was able to schedule an appointment fast and easy, and the second I walked in, Jeremiah and his team treated me like I was a good friend. Everyone was so professional and friendly, and he took his time to explain to me each option in detail, and the pros and cons of each package. He also helped me choose exactly how dark I wanted my tint to be, making suggestions when I was unsure. I ended up picking their premium option and I couldn't be happier. Before, getting into my car after a long day at work felt like I was getting into a sauna running at full blast, and driving on sunny days made me feel like I was cooking alive in my car (the UV protection is also a godsend--I'm very pale and burn so easily), even with the AC blasting. Now, it's so much cooler getting in, and it also cools down MUCH faster as well, making summer driving way more bearable. The appointment didn't even take long at all. I dropped my car off, went out for brunch nearby, and it was done right as I was finishing up my meal, and I am NOT a slow eater. When I picked up my car, Jeremiah explained the aftercare process to me very simply and concisely, which was very easy to follow, and I was provided an aftercare package! While I will admit it was a little pricer compared to other businesses when I was shopping around (and I DID get the most expensive option, so I'm sure even if you're on a budget, the cheaper options are just as good), with the level of care and effort the team put in, as well as the lifetime warranty that's included, I'd say it was well worth the price. I'm so happy with my tint and would highly recommend Hi Tint to anyone that's looking for great quality and care! Whenever I come around to getting another car in the far future, I'm absolutely coming right back here to get that car's windows tinted as well!!

    So responsive and quick to schedule an appointment. I found HI Tint by doing a Google search…read more.. they had positive reviews there too, so I decided to go with them. The ceramic tint I had installed in my home is really good. It supposedly blocks out 80% of heat and when I stood by my window, it surely felt like it was doing its job. I would highly recommend HI Tint.

    Did my lift here years ago, also this event happened years ago. (review is very late, but started…read morethinking as I saw ads for them on Facebook regularly, people need to be aware of their practice) apparently they didn't tighten the steering knuckle lower 2 bolts on my Tacoma, clearly before I left I saw a thread sticking out on the lower control arm bolts, didn't say anything as I'd thought they'd honor their work, and thought they possibly even messed up the threads on that bolt that was loose which is why it didn't go all the way in, (as a mechanic I'm not going to touch something I'm afraid will break which would turn to my fault, liability is pretty important in the automotive service industry) they reassured me before I left that everything was perfect even though the skid plate wasn't installed as well until I said something, then within less than 6000 miles down the road and within less than a 6 month period, lower control arm came loose and went straight to the floor, took it back to them with a tow truck and they charged me for the labor to replace a lifetime warranty part from rough country as well as a CV axle that got damage due to collateral damage from the bolt coming loose. Clearly they didn't tighten the bolt with their response as "we loctite everything" well loctite only goes a long way when the bolt is torqued with a torqued wrench. A real shop would've comp everything and own up to their mistake and repair it for free due to technician negligence. But that didn't happen, rather just down another couple hundred dollars, around $800-1,000 to fix their mistake. But I mean the lifetime part was free which was great, one company at least honored something. Never coming back here again, neither will ever be involved with this shop ever again. Still have my receipt and can easily warranty stuff yourself on rough country website. Wasn't going to argue with these guys in person as they're pretty intimidated and aggressive when you put them on the spot. So it's easier to result in online reviews and let people know their practice as they're also firm with whatever they say with no room for talk or solution unless I'm guessing legal action is taken or a harsh review is made. They honestly just hungry for money, made the victim an even bigger one.

    **update I received a message from the Manager (owner?) who…read moreapologized for the phone call being less than responsive He encouraged me to go into the shop and they would work with me on this matter I appreciate the offer I purchased 4 rims and tires 4 years ago Barley put 25K miles on them and one of the rims is cracked and can't be repaired So I need 4 new rims; new quote is double the price and no offer for a discount or free installation ($160-$200) Just a cold response and not even thanks for calling; he knows I'm a prior customer I'll never shop here again or recommend this place to friends and Ohana Very disappointed I hope others have a better experience; fyi the young lady I spoke to last week was much more friendly and polite

The only reason why i came back this many times is he is literally across the street from me and i didnt want to go far He always tries to small talk with you. And in that time he will ask you what you do for a living and how much the car is worth (in my case after he knew i had a car rental business each time i came he asked me hows business and what i am making per month) Based on those questions he will give you a quote. Which is unfair because you shouldnt be quoted based on your job and the cars value. It came to a point i told him "dont worry about the cars value just give me a quote". Another thing he does that i dont like is he will ask you "tell me EXACTLY what you want" and as an amature who doesnt know what their talking about, he will do exactly what you said and when its incomplete you are left worse then before. Youll see what i mean when you read about the accord The first time i brought a a 2020 soul that i tried to paint myself. It didnt come out right so i asked him to repaint it. He suggested i sand and buff it for $300. I agreed to it and altho the sand and buff was good he sanded thru the paint in several areas exposing bare metal. I had to get it repainted after his sand and buff Another time i brought a 2015 versa. He quoted me 450 and when it was done he asked me for $200 more because he did more work then he expected. He called it "unforeseen instance" which i knew that wasnt true because it was simple bondo and paint. Another time i brought an accord. I paid him 200 to mount the bumper because it wasnt aligning. He cut thru the bumper that wasnt aligning and a 1 inch sliver was hanging off. I asked him "what am i supposed to do with that sliver?" He said "just tuck it behind the headlight" i said "thats so ugly" and he said "well you said get the bumper mounted and i did exactly that so why are you complaining? Isnt that what you said?" I said "i didnt know you were going to leave a tab hanging off" LASTLY i brought a 2016 scion IM to mount the bumper because it wasnt aligning. He just put kitchen silicon and painted over it. We all know silicon is oil based and repels everything. Sure enough 1 week later the paint he put on the silicon has peeled off even tho i didnt even drive that car yet. It was also so ugly my girlfriend even said it was ugly and why i paid him. I txted him the situation and he ignored me. I am never coming back to this place again. He is dishonest and doesnt do fair business and his work absolutely sucks for a pro. I dont have pictures of the other cars but i do have a picture of our txt he ignored and the last car he did. You can see how ugly it was at the beginning and how 1 week later the paint peeled off making it look even uglier then the ugly

They replaced the large insignia, but they said that I would have to put back the small letters myself. Also while cleaning the car for an inspection, in addition to finding the small letters for the trunk door, I found water in my wheel well for the spare tire in the trunk. I told them that they forgot to reattach the other end of a plastic tube that ran rain water in the trunk door top right corner. They said that they don't detach that. But they had detached the rubber foam seal on trunk door when they painted the car. The seal is in the same area of the door as the plastic tube. If I had known ahead of time about the small letters, I might not have gotten the work done there. Usually shops will replace whatever they took off the car, and not leave everything inside the car for the owner to put back. To be fair, they did put back some of the stuff I found in the car after I picked up the car- like the car insignia, the rubber foam seal on the trunk door.

I was off island until that evening. They were closed 7 June and I picked it up 8 June. The repainted color I am satisfied with but the detail work was mediocre at best. There is a ton of overspray on the rubber around the windows and rear view mirrors. Additionally, there are already a few chips in the paint in a few spots which will be a problem in the near future. This has been months of frustration. I am now just over it and will not return to this establishment again for paint work. I will say that the manager was apologetic about the delays due to staffing issues but honestly due to the way this was handled initially, I should have been a top priority and more detail and attention should have been given to my vehicle. In the manager's defense, he did take matters into his hands and conducted a majority of the work himself and I am appreciative of that. I have spent the last 2 hours attempting to clean up the overspray and it will take me several more to get it all removed. Overall , I wish this would have been handled better but you live and you learn. Again, I am satisfied with the color but not the delays in service nor the level of attention to detail. I paid a pretty penny for my vehicle and the paint job was not cheap. The expectations were high but not met. This is my honest assessment and I have no hard feelings towards the establishment nor the folks I have dealt with during this process. Mahalo!
