Top Notch Tunes

I paid this installer $150 per hour to install my car audio system. While the system functions, I…read morewas disappointed with several aspects of the installation quality and attention to detail. The amplifiers were mounted inside the wheel well area, but when it came time to reinstall the trunk floor cover, it would not sit flat because the amplifiers were mounted too high. Instead of redesigning the installation so everything fit properly, the subwoofer enclosure had to be forced into the trunk, leaving a noticeable hump in the trunk floor. For a professional installation, I expected all factory panels and covers to fit correctly when the work was completed. I am also concerned about the amplifier placement because the amplifiers become very hot after driving on warm days. While I understand that amplifiers generate heat, mounting them in a confined area with limited airflow does not seem ideal for long-term reliability. Another concern is the grounding configuration. The capacitor was grounded directly to the battery, and both amplifiers were grounded through the capacitor rather than using a local chassis ground. While there may be technical reasons for this approach, it was never explained to me, and it differs from what many installers typically do in trunk-mounted systems. Better communication regarding the design choices would have been appreciated. Overall, the system works, but the fitment issues, equipment placement, and lack of attention to the finished appearance left me disappointed. For the price charged, I expected a cleaner installation, proper fitment of the factory trunk components, and a more professional final result.

A little disappointing here. I brought my mini to this company and I was told that they could not change my oil because it was too difficult for them to work on. I called other Jiffy Lube places to see if they can do the oil change and they said of course and that it wouldn't be a problem. So now im confused if these guys just didn't feel like working on this day or if that is just their policy for minis. Another time I brought my other vehicles for them to change oil and the gentle came in to the office when they were done and went through the list of what they did. They were checking off items like, washing my windows and vacuuming, etc. I wasn't too happy when the gentleman said they vacuumed my car and did other things that I didn't see them do. I was watching the whole time through the long wide window and never noticed or seen any of them vacuum my car. That was pretty upsetting after paying them for the service. The only good part about the service was that they'd walk you to your car afterwards and open and close the door for you. I thought that was a cover up for what they didn't do that was on that list. I probably wouldn't go back to this shop again. I may give them a try again next year if im in town and see how much they have improved. read more
