    JVC KW-M590BT on a 2010 Toyota Prius.

    This was my second visit, and I forgot to leave a review last time. I had a **static noise** coming from one speaker, while the other wasn't working. Other places just quoted me for a **speaker replacement**, assuming that was the issue. **Shelby's actually diagnosed the static noise problem** instead of just replacing the speaker. They **fixed the static issue** along with replacing the blown speaker. On this visit, I got my **factory stereo replaced** with a new unit featuring **Apple CarPlay**, and I'm happy with the purchase and installation. It's **wired CarPlay**, but the installer suggested getting a **wireless dongle** from Amazon for added convenience. They also **connected my existing aftermarket backup camera**, which was installed on the rearview mirror elsewhere. Overall, great experience--**I'll definitely be back for future upgrades**!

    Great job! Dropped off my car in the morning and picked it up in the afternoon with wireless CarPlay and backup camera system! They did a great job. I really liked, that this is what this place did because saw a lot of reviews of other places where batteries would die and stuff if the job wasn't done correctly. Well it has been a couple months. Have had no issues, the install looks and works great. Pricing was competitive, location was perfect for me, and it professional install. I thought the staff was friendly during my interactions, had no issues, and would definitely recommend to a friend or relative in need of a sound system/radio upgrade job. Got a new to me used 2008 Tundra. Was in desperate need of an upgraded radio as i didn't want anyone breaking in to steal one of these cheap devices you buy off amazon. Looking at installing car radios now seems like a giant hassle, compared to back in the day. Am very happy I had the pros at Shelby's tackle the task.

    This is the Android Car Play head unit. Looks great, doesn't it!

    Shelby's Car Stereo & Alarm do great work. Their finished product is always outstanding. The car tech, Jose is his name I believe, sat in the car explaining the different functions of my Car Play head unit. The Viper car alarm works outstanding also. I've been here at Shelby's several times now and have never been let down. Come to Shelby's for your vehicle's sound and alarm systems, you won't regret it!

    They hooked me up!

    These folks did a great job installing my new Droid deck, alpine speakers and amp! My first time with an entire system! They really did right by veteran and the front desk lady had foxy hair and a great attitude. The installer really made sure everything was clean and neat, and I could tell he really took pride in his work. Happy I went there for service.

    The very ignorant reply I got from Shelby's Car Stereo , STILL trying to blame me instead of their install
    David D.

    And now the owner WHO I WAS WORKING WITH Is mad about a bad review What do you expect lady? I've had better installs and customer service from the guys who work in alleys in downtown LA for HALF the cost If you care about your car, your money, or the service that will be provided Go else where This install was a couple hundred bucks , not a huge deal But the service after an issue arose shows what these people think about their clients

    I had them tint my windows on my S560 Mercedes, made my car cooler inside. And look nice too.

    My bf had an alarm system installed in his car by you mostly so he would have the remote to unlock the doors. Can we bring the car in to disable the alarm? We think it's draining the battery.

    yes, you can.

    BAIT AND SWITCH WARNING: Predatory Pricing & Legal Violations…read more I love to support local small businesses, but not the 'Bait and Switch' I experienced here. I have a written email quote from Precision Tint explicitly stating: 'you're looking at about 699.00 total' for ceramic tint and removal. Despite this written agreement, the shop manually entered a $900.00 'Custom Amount' plus tax on my receipt, totaling $983.25. This is a blatant violation of California Business and Professions Code § 9884.9, which prohibits charging a penny over a written estimate without a new, signed authorization. It is also a violation of the Consumer Legal Remedies Act (Civil Code § 1770) regarding deceptive 'Bait and Switch' pricing. Charging nearly $1,000 for window tint on a small 4-door car is ridiculous. There is nothing 'prestige' or luxury about this service that justifies a 40% markup over their own written quote. The shop ignored three separate formal attempts to resolve this billing error. Formal complaints have been filed with appropriate entities. Hopefully, this saves others the headache of being overcharged. Shady business practices, please avoid. If you choose to do business here make sure to do so, at your own risk, as everyone's experiences may vary.

    Just a quick update. I brought my BMW back to Elevance for its second annual detail and PPF and…read moreceramic coating inspection. Scheduling was easy, and I was able to get an appointment the following Saturday morning. I dropped off my car and took a walk to a nearby café to have breakfast while they worked on it. They also have a nice air-conditioned waiting room if you prefer to wait on-site. I returned about 90 minutes later, and waited while they finished up. I take great care of the car, but every time they're done with it, it looks better than day one off the dealer floor. Steve informed me that the PPF and ceramic coating was in great shape. He also educated me that the ceramic coating on the hood wears faster than the rest of the car. They re-coated the hood for no extra charge. What service! Again, I left Elevance very happy with my initial choice to have them apply everything and returning annually for their customer only inspection and detail service. Steve and his staff are extremely professional and friendly. If you need PPF, wrapping, ceramic coating, or window tint, check out my previous reviews and go with Elevance!

    For starters this review does not reflect on the owner, Steve. He has been very responsive at every…read morereach anytime I've had issues, although the resolutions may not be to complete satisfaction. However, the more I continue to see all the errors and defects on my vehicle the more dissatisfied I feel about the results. There are multiple areas crinkling and bunched up, even right after my wrap and more so now down the line. I've added some photos for reference but there are waaaay more I'm not posting that I'd like to count. My biggest issue that has been on my mind to this day is that my cars mileage increased 30 miles from when I initially dropped it off. I brought this issue up to Steve and he explained it's because they did my wheels, the body work, and test drove it but thirty miles is excessive in my opinion. One of his workers I feel definitely took my car for a joy ride and perhaps Steve is covering for them. The mileage doesn't bother me, it's the negligence, irresponsibility, and disrespect for my property of whoever drove my car. Again, Steve has been responsive since day one but his staff (who worked on my vehicle) on the other hand fell very short of the quality and expectations his shop seems to give out through their platforms. I feel like I was one in the hundreds of people who had a really bad job done. No one is perfect and I'm just that one mistake of a customer, unfortunately. All in all, zero stars for the wrap job and 3 stars for Steve's efforts and customer service and 4 stars for the body work and wheels. However, I would recommend to keep an eye on your odometer when you drop it off since it seems like his employees might have an inclination to have some fun when no one is looking or when the "test drive" is being done. I have a camera in my vehicle but when I checked it someone disconnected it almost immediately after dropping it off according to the time stamps. Little sus to me. Thank you, Steve for your kindness and doing your best to resolve each issues you may not have had your hands on directly but if I could truly resolve my dissatisfaction (especially for the money I paid) I'd prefer to redo my wrap in all the area it was defective.

I'd had bids from other installer, but my first phone conversation with owner Marvel (super nice guy) at Platinum I knew I was making the right choice. He was extremely thorough and helpful in his explanations and submitted a competitive estimate immediately after our call. On the day I dropped my car off Marvel spent well over an hour going over the various options to confirm what I wanted, did not try to upsell me (even downsold me on one option). He kept me updated throughout the process and I picked up the car today and it looks gorgeous. Am really pleased with the results, and also with the follow-up. Am bringing the car back in two weeks for a first wash and (in the unlikely event) touchup, if necessary. They are very clear about maintenance/washing, annual shop visit, etc, and I feel comfortable that if there turn out to be any issues, they'll stand behind their work. Am really pleased with the way my new car now looks even newer, thanks to Platinum Motorworks!

Although his shop is fairly new, Marvel brings years of industry experience and a deep passion for his craft. He took the time to clearly explain the entire process, demonstrating a level of precision and professionalism that sets him apart--his process is truly dialed in. Marvel tinted all the windows, including the windshield, using Llumar IRX nano ceramic film, one of the highest-performing tints on the market. He is an authorized Llumar dealer, which gives you peace of mind knowing you're getting genuine, warrantied film--not like some shops that claim to use Llumar but apply generic products from unbranded boxes. He's honest, straightforward, and doesn't push unnecessary upgrades. His attention to detail is second to none, and he's committed to delivering flawless results, even making adjustments if something doesn't meet his own high standards. If you're looking for professional, high-quality tint work from someone who truly cares about the end result, I highly recommend platinum Motorworks

I had some time this weekend, so I stopped by Audio Motorsports to get some advice and ended up just doing the install, since they could do it now, and the price they offered me was great. Nick was an excellent salesperson; he's an old-school guy with a deep history and knowledge of audio, and he helped me get off the fence with the different brands and boxes I was researching. I was originally looking at some subs for under the seat, but ended up getting a Kicker sub with Nick's advice, since he said under-the-seat subs aren't that great and, for the same price, a boxed sub with an amp will sound better. The installation took about an hour and a half, and you can either wait in-store or at a few nearby plazas to eat and wait. The install itself was clean and professional. Overall, loving the bass. I might be back soon if I upgrade the stock speakers in my ride to improve mid- and high-frequency clarity. On another note, I didn't know they also do tinting. Nick offered a good deal, but it's too bad I just recently had my tint done elsewhere. If I had known, I would have saved some money on my tint by doing it at Audio Motorsports.
