Last Christmas, my family gifted me cash for me to purchase a dash cam with installation labor for…read moremy car. If you haven't tried using Yelp to acquire quotes from businesses such as dash cam and installation retailers, it's pretty convenient and many service type businesses will reach out to you. After sending an inquiry about purchasing and installation of a dash cam, one of the first businesses that reached out to me was DV Audio and Customs. Besides DV Audio, several other businesses contacted me and I immediately decided on DV Audio because of the professionalism and thoroughness of Dennis and Paola. They answered several questions I posed to them and although I probably could have shopped around for a better deal, I decided to have DV Audio take care of my dash cam need solely based on the professionalism and customer service, but besides those much clamored for qualities, I got even more once the job was completed. DV Audio is located in Escondido specifically within a small business park where other service type businesses are located. I don't remember if there were other tenants, but as soon as you turn into Wineridge, you'll turn right into the first driveway and you'll see the DV Audio signage. The exact address for DV Audio is 2080 Wineridge Suite D. The shop can be found by taking 15 North or 15 South exiting off of Valley Parkway and heading west. There are two parts of Escondido where car dealers are located, which is the east side and west side of Escondido. DV Audio is located close to the west side of car dealers. I received great customer service from Paola from start to finish for my dash cam project. Prior to setting up an appointment with DV Audio to have them install a dash cam, I stopped by their shop to ask them questions. The primary thing I wanted to ask them was whether they price match because at the time, Amazon Prime Days were going on. My intent was to buy a dash cam on Amazon and then have DV Audio install it. When I asked about price matching, Paola informed me that they do price match on a specific Red Tiger dash cam, but not on the higher end Red Tiger dash cam. She also informed me that it would be better if I purchased the dash cam from her because then it would be under warranty, which was great information to have. Another reason to have work done by DV Audio is that their business is military veteran friendly and they do military discounts for Army Veterans like me. If you pay cash for the work they do, there is a cash discount and who doesn't like savings. Besides all of these positives, they are also efficient and respect people's time. I dropped off my car at my appointment time of 9:30am and I was notified that they were done at 10:44am. When their technician was installing my dash cam, they found rust build up on the inside side wall of my dash, which I would have never found if not for their technician letting me know. This information was invaluable because I'm going to have the car dealer check it out. Lastly, Paolo provided more quality customer service after the work was completed by spending time with me going over the features of the dash cam. If you're ever in the market for a dash cam and installation of that dash cam, before you purchase, I highly recommend you contact or visit DV Audio and Customs to purchase the dash cam and have them do the installation. Customer service, expediency, and thoroughness from start to finish is why they should be the only shop you visit for dash cam service. I also noticed vintage cars in their shop, so if you own vintage cars, you might want to check what type of service they do for vintage cars.

Outstanding Service and Honest Pricing…read more My car needed repairs after rats chewed through some of the soy-based wire insulation (a common Toyota issue) and damaged an oxygen sensor. The dealership quoted me a little over $1,000 for the fix. I decided to file a claim with GEICO, and they recommended one of their approved mechanics, Caliber Collision, which was the closest to me. I'm so glad they did. Caliber's quote was less than half the dealership's price (and under deductible) and included OEM parts. The service was incredibly efficient. They inspected the car immediately, the parts arrived the very next morning, and the repair was completed promptly. Randy in the office provided some of the best customer service I've experienced in a long time. He was fantastic from the start, explaining everything in detail, answering all my questions, and ensuring the entire process was seamless. Highly recommended!

He tried to rub a couple of them out to no avail. He suggested I take my car to someone that details cars and they could probably get the scratches out which would be cheaper than having the whole car repainted. Randy was very considerate, patient and answered all my questions. I highly recommend their business and will use them in the future if I need some body work done.

They cleaned it up to look and run great today, but definitely take anything you buy here to a mechanic you trust, and don't buy anything here unless you're ready to spent a little fixing it up. Don't get me wrong, Randy's a great guy, but he's selling you a serviceable car, not a perfect one to be a daily driver for your college-bound kid.

Randy was gracious to stay at the shop until we arrived at 7PM. Showed us the car, provided all the maintenance records for the car (CARFAX) and let us take it for a test drive. We loved the car for her and felt very comfortable dealing with Randy. It's not your stereotypical used car lot and Randy is not that shady salesman you all know. He's a truly nice man and you can see that within the first few minutes. He cut us an amazing deal and took care of us through and through. It's too bad she lives in Arizona because Randy is also an honest mechanic (don't find them too often) and I wish she would be closer if she needed that. All in all we spent more time enjoying good conversation with Randy than we did for the transaction. Transaction took about 10 minutes but we could've spent all night chatting with such a nice humble guy. The world needs more like him. I don't recommend too many people but this one is special.

Best Car Buying Experience I've Ever Had - Hands Down!…read more I can honestly say this was the best car-buying experience I've ever had. Escondido Auto went completely above and beyond from the moment I walked in. Cisco was the sales professional who helped me, and he was incredible. No pressure, no gimmicks, no wasted time -- just straightforward, honest service. He made buying my Tesla unbelievably easy. The entire process took about 45 minutes, and I was driving off feeling confident and excited. They truly had the best prices around, and everything was transparent and smooth. Cisco answered every question, explained everything clearly, and made sure the whole transaction was stress-free. You don't find service like this very often. If you're looking for a dealership that values your time and treats you right, Escondido Auto is the place to go -- ask for Cisco! I'm already planning to come back for a truck in the near future. That's how good the experience was. Highly, highly recommend!

We'd recommend them to anyone looking to purchase a used car, and will be our first stop in the future.

While the car was there they found another problem that was an inexpensive fix. They were able to install the cat and make the other fix the same day. Overall I am very impressed with the work, service, and advice/direction I received from Hanson's.

1 Star - Would Not Recommend…read more I went to Ed Hanson's Muffler for a simple resonator/muffler delete, basic exhaust work. This shop used to have a solid reputation, which is the only reason I chose it. Unfortunately, that no longer seems to be the case. I arrived when they opened and clearly explained that I did not want to be stuck there all day. I don't live close by, and I needed to pick up my daughter from school later. I specifically told them I was completely fine dropping the car off and coming back once it was finished if the job was going to take a while. They laughed and said that wouldn't be necessary, and that they'd be in trouble if a job like this took that long, implying it would be done quickly. Instead, the work dragged on for most of the day. I was repeatedly told it was "almost done," which kept me waiting there instead of leaving. Had they been honest upfront, I would have left and returned later without any issue. During this time, the employee working on the car moved extremely slowly, frequently stopping to socialize, smoke, eat, and take extended breaks. There was no sense of urgency and no respect for my time. Because of this, I nearly ended up late picking up my daughter from school, which was exactly what I was trying to avoid by offering to drop the car off in the first place. To make matters worse, the final result was disappointing. The piping looks sloppy and unprofessional, like basic budget muffler work, yet the price was unreasonably high for the quality delivered. Ed Hanson's may have been a respectable shop at one point, but based on my experience and many others now a days, that standard is no longer there. Don't waste your hard-earned money or your time.

I looked over everything they did on the car and it had been done! I had one minor issue so I stopped by the shop where I was greeted by 2 employees and the owner. The shop was very clean and laid out nicely. They obviously took great pride in this shop. They were very friendly and immediately took my car in and put it on the rack. The owner showed me my concern (was listed in the inspection) and I felt the interaction was very positive and nothing that needed to be addressed immediately. The car runs excellent and I felt that WOW is a very honest, trustworthy, and transparent shop. To find a shop like this is very hard, based on my past experiences with dealerships (I can tell you stories where I get charged $65 to replace a cabin filter-which was never done). The price that was paid for the services was reasonable and fair. I was very impressed with the owner and staff. I would not hesitate to HIGHLY RECOMMEND WOW!
