Let's start with a fun fact. I am an educated man and before you accuse me of being Braggadocios,…read moremy college history applies to this review. I hold 3 STEM degrees with the first of which being as a Digital Audio and Video Engineer. You would think with that background, I would do my own car audio, but it's a different discipline. I can remix the hell out of your favorite song, edit a video worthy of a Marvel movie and acquire a satellite signal, but I don't have a clue about this area of electronics. For the past decade, my car stereo has sounded terrible. Since CarToys did the original installation 12 years ago, I assumed they would be the perfect choice to restore it to it's original glory. Unfortunately, over the past decade, I have spent between 6-8 hours in each of CarToys locations including Southcenter. Federal Way, Bellevue, Issaquah, Totem Lake and Burlington. With each visit, I was sold more equipment without any improvement in fidelity. Feel free to check my review soon, I will be updating each of those locations with my personal experience. Realizing I needed to step outside of the box, I thought I would try the south sound since everything from between south Seattle and Bellingham had failed me. I called a place in Lacey based on positive reviews. I won't name them, but when I explained my situation, they told me they were busy and couldn't get to me for 4-6 weeks, believing they were the best choice, I agreed, then they revised their position to, We'll only do the work if you purchase product from us. I advised I already had the gear for the job, so I wouldn't be buying anything from them, except labor. At that point, they referred me to two local shops, one in Lakewood and Waves. When I asked which shop they recommended most, they advised the Lakewood shop. When I called Lakewood I got the same attitude. It started with we're busy and it will be a while and when I agreed to the wait they changed their tune to, we'd rather not work with customer supplied equipment. So finally, as an act of desperation, I called Waves. They really didn't want to quote or accept the work without seeing it, but I explained I was in Seattle and didn't want to make a dedicated trip for something I thought was simple. I advised I thought my system was out of phase and if it's not out of phase, I have replacement amps to solve the frequency issue. They agreed to do the work, but were also busy, so it took nearly a month to get in. I made the drive today and met Shop Owner, Jeff. Intelligent, easy to understand straight-shooter, that demonstrated a clear desire to ensure my satisfaction in service. He asked questions, gave updates and also got approvals on his approach. In the end, the issue was exactly as described, the system was out of phase. This is why you use experts. There was a time, I think, when at least the shop manager at CarToys was wise and assuming they blessed all the work that left their shop you could be certain you got what you paid for, but since CarToys restructured those roles to be commission based, that is why their solution is always to sell you something. Here is the deal. There is more profit in labor than product. Rather than selling me marked up merchandise that I don't want or need, provide quality, efficient labor. I couldn't be any happier with Waves and their positive reviews and scores represent the service they provide. Yeah, it was an hour each way from Seattle, but I don't regret it, and any audio needs I have, Waves will be my first call. Everyone there was professional, courteous and pleasant. And at no point, did I believe I made the wrong choice coming in.

Can't say enough great things about these guys! I had great service here that went above and beyond…read moreand both brothers were so helpful and accommodating. Job was prompt even though they looked busy, and came in under quote, which I already thought was reasonable. After, they took the time to talk to me and give me helpful, straight-forward, honest information and make specific recommendations for next steps for things their shop doesn't do. Just a great experience overall, I would recommend them to anyone and though they're not the closest location to me, this will still be my number one place to go next time!

So you got a Groupon or thinking about buying it. Let me help you out! (Skip if you want to read…read morethe review below) Why listen to me? Well, I've had my windows tinted here 4 times in the last two years 2020 and 2021. Groupon process: 1. Purchase from Groupon, look out for additional local discount (once in a while) will knockdown the already discounted price lower. 2. Go to their website or follow link in email. For full, select the $349.99 Solar Guard M3 (not the second one). For only two windows there's only one Solar Guard option so you can't mess this up. 3. For the notes, write down your car model, and color (so they know what they are going to work on), tint percent (30% is the default tint foe Groupon deal, any lower is going to cost extra $), phone number, and the Groupon reception #. (Optional): Print off your schedule appt. 4. Drop off when they are open OR you can drop it off at the little mail drop in their (I believe) first garage door, near the entrance. I use a ziplock bag to put the key in and the print out of the schedule paper so that there is no mistake for the install. I've use this method 3 times now and they are really good at figuring out with said info, which is your car and what to do. 5. Pay taxes. Yes, you have to pay taxes on top of the Groupon deal.. it's not much. Review: Pros - They work on your tint on the scheduled time (crucial for day plans) - Great price and Value - (Depends, mostly for Groupon customers) Not much contact is necessary to get the job done. Get your Groupon and follow the steps above. Cons: - (The depends part) Yea.. it can be hard to get in touch with someone. Just recently end of April 2021, I had to call continuously at least 8 times to finally talk to someone. Because I've been here 4 times and being my initial experience was bad (but was fixed), there is just nobody in the area that can beat their price. I've looked around to see if anyone can come close to their price point, and they're always twice much more or worst 3 times more. I love the quality work here for the bargain price. I highly highly recommend (but use Groupon for tints)!
