    Thank you to the whole team at Poway Car Audio and Tint! They were able to install a Hamilton Motor Company head unit replacement, MTS and Crawl control, and towing brake controller in one day! I am super pleased with the result, finally a modern infotainment system! Special thank you to Amir for helping me choose the system, and to Rodrigo for doing an amazing job with the installation. Thanks you so much guys! ***Review Update*** Unfortunately, since the time of the installation, the Hamilton radio unit became buggy, and would no longer control the rear climate controls. I called Hamilton multiple times to resolve the issue, but it could not be solved. I called Poway Car Audio, explained my issues with the unit, and they were able to return the radio and refund me the cost of the unit. I am grateful that Poway Car Audio could make it right. Thank you to Moe and Amir!

    Amps/stealth box

    This is the first time I've done pretty anything to my car since having it. I love my music, so much to the point I had blown out most of my speakers. Found this place and stopped in. Omar was super nice and helpful. Once we started talking numbers I was hesitant. I caved in and genuinely I couldn't be happier. Replaced all 8 stock speakers and added a stealth box. Once I got back in my car I'd say it was 1000% worth the price possibly exceeding the price. Definitely would recommend these guys and will definitely be coming back for any future upgrades!

    I called a few places to compare pricing, and not only were they the most competitive, but their customer service was leagues ahead of the rest. Poway Car Audio completely exceeded my expectations. Amir was super helpful over the phone, making the scheduling process easy and when I arrived, both he and Moe were incredibly welcoming and professional. They installed ambient lighting in my car the same day and the quality of their work was outstanding. Everything turned out better than I imagined and the whole experience was smooth from start to finish. If you're looking for a place that values your time, money and satisfaction, Poway Car Audio is the clear choice! Thank you guys!!

    Moe and Amir were fantastic to work with. I brought my vehicle in and they took a look at it, made initial recommendations, then offered up a few ideas for better sound. I ended getting a system I felt would be best for my listening preference, which included a deck that could play CDs (yes, I still listen to music on CDs!) and a kicker system for amazing bass. They were also generous with the labor as they found that some rodent had chewed up some of the wires that caused a short in the audio electrical system. Very happy with their work and it was completed quickly too! One thing on cost, you can get a system that is really affordable and sounds great, and you can upgrade to a system that may be more tuned into your preference, whatever your budget, they will make it work out so you are happy. Thank you Moe and Amir!

    We had a few unforeseen issues with the setup and Amir was more than helpful in getting them fixed as soon as he could.

    There's an old saying in business: deliver what you promise. Then give 'em more…read more Mr. Wrap delivers that in droves! I arrived with a chip in my existing PPT from a rock hit. This means that the front bumper PPF has to be removed, and a new one installed. That was the promise, and that was what Matt at Mr. Wrap delivered. EXACTLY what he promised. But then... then he delivered more! The attention to detail... the small things that needed attention, all got the scrutiny of Mr. Wrap, and addressed, no matter how small. The quality of the work was next to none! Wrap corners all tucked in. Fit and finish perfect for the car, and the results soak for themselves. If you want a fantastic wrap job (or tint or any other service they offer), done expertly, at a great value, this is the place for you! For my San Diego peeps, this shop is worth the drive to Vista to get the best possible result for your car. Can't recommend them enough!

    *** Update: immediately after I posted this review, they posted a 1 star review of my business…read more They are not our customers. That is unethical. Shame. I reached out for an estimate on a wrap for a company vehicle. Matt gave me an estimate based on the information I had to go on. He then proceeded to call and email so much that I had to tell him to stop. After I later reached out to proceed and he received the digital files from my corporate office, he told me it would cost significantly more. When I told him I couldn't do it because it was too expensive, this was his reply: "When you can't find it cheap please don't reach out to use again we have waisted to much time for only a few bucks thanks Matt the owner of Mr wrap." As a business owner, I find this petty and unprofessional. Dodged a bullet.

Where things started to slip was on the pickup side. I was told the car was ready, but still ended up waiting about 30-40 minutes before actually getting it. At checkout, I was also surprised to see a tip screen with suggested amounts that felt pretty high given the service. I ended up leaving a small tip, but the experience itself didn't really match that level of expectation. I also would have appreciated a quick walkthrough of the work that was done--especially at that price point--but it was more of a quick handoff of the keys. I came back for the 10-day follow-up and made a point to ask about timing ahead of time. I was told it would take about an hour. I arrived early, but after an hour the car hadn't been touched yet, and there wasn't any update unless I asked. That part was frustrating. So, they ended up rushing my 10-day follow-up inspection. Gave the car a quick rinse and handed me the keys. What was the point of driving down from Carlsbad??? Over 3 hours wasted. For comparison, I had a great experience at their Kearny Mesa location previously, so I know what they're capable of. This location is stretched thin, which seemed to impact communication and overall service. I was not the only customer in the lobby feeling this way. Given the type of clientele they're working with and the pricing, I was expecting a bit more consistency and attention to detail. Their follow-up consisted of more sales pitches of coupons for services I already had done. Would have been nice to have the discounts PRIOR to the work! I planned on using the wash program and mentioned to Jasmine my poor service experience. Think there was follow-up? Nada. So, thumbs "kind of" up for Ceramic Pro but thumbs down for this location. Overall, I think the company itself does good work, and have used the Kearny Mesa location in the past several times with excellent success!! I would not choose this location again.

As an avid auto detailing enthusiast, I know how important this step is to protect the paint. The technicians performed a terrific paint correction prior to flawlessly installing the PPF. I also opted to include window tint on the front windows to match the factory tint shade that was already installed on the rest of the vehicle. A very special shout out to Alex! She was incredibly detailed, extremely knowledgeable, and was prompt at responding to all of my inquiries. She happily provided specific package options with broken down costs to help me understand the budget I wanted to spend. I had many questions and learned so much from her! I highly recommend One of One for all of your detailing services and tinting needs. My WRX looks just as good and was treated with the same care as all of the high end exotics. The second you pull into the parking lot you immediately notice all of the high end and rare vehicles customers have brought in! It's like being at a car show! Thanks again Alex and One of One team!

He was extremely responsive via both phone and email regarding my questions and helping me choose the best products for my needs. Workmanship was exceptional, and any small imperfections such as sharp corners not properly sticking or small bubbles were addressed by Wasim personally. No one has been able to tell I have PPF with the naked eye unless I specifically tell them which tells you how great the installation was. I have taken my Land Cruiser offroading a about a dozen times now and the PPF has fully protected my paint, preventing pinstriping from branches and bushes normally found on most trails. My friend that always goes with me has a Toyota Tacoma and his paint has gotten quite a few battle scars, where as my Land Cruiser is completely scratch free! The window protection film has saved my glass a handful of times already too. Going on past a year, the film still looks 90% as good as the first day it was installed. Highly recommend, especially if your vehicle have a very vertical windshield like on a typical SUV or truck. I had a situation where my garage door closed onto my open hatch, but the PPF took the damage and completely protected my paint from scratches. That would have easily taken the paint down to the base coat or even bare metal since it was a sharp metal bolt head that had run down against the hatch. Wasim was extremely generous and offered to replace that panel free of charge. Highly recommend SunDiego Auto Spa, will be doing more business with them again in the near future!

Pricing was very fair for the work done. Full front XPEL PPF, full 8 year ceramic coating, ceramic tint all around--including windshield on my Ioniq 9. Wasim even scheduled a follow up appointment a week later to ensure the film had fully cured. One thing to note, they let my cars 12v battery die. I don't necessarily fault them as they work on plenty of EVs, but Hyundai doesn't seem to protect the cars 12v like Tesla does. Learning experience for both of us. Most importantly, Wasim handled the issue with the utmost professionalism, getting the battery fully recharged and coming along on a test drive with me to make sure it was good. Overall great experience. Will be recommending his shop to friends.

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.
