    I am absolutely blown away with the quality and customer service provided by One of One!!!…read more I recently purchased my new WRX and immediately decided to have PPF installed on the full front end. 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!

I was able to get the luxury tint I wanted at a really reasonable price. The only thing I wasn't prepared for was having enough cash on hand to give my tech the tip he truly deserved... so he ended up getting whatever was in my wallet. Grateful for the great service and aloha throughout the experience

She was very through is testing out my system to see what the problem could be. Pauline got the radio back on and the Bluetooth was again working but not my GPS. She consulted with one of the techs. They gave me some options. They suggested I might want to check with a local Honda dealer to see if there were updates. In the end the system seems to be back up after several weeks. I do have a reasonable quote on a part if I need it in the future. The consult was no charge, and these people were truly honest. Great customer service! If you have any audio or security issues go to DV Audio and Custom shop. Conveniently located by auto in Escondido

    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.

However, after ordering an exhaust nothing went smoothly. They sent me the exhaust with parts missing (which was noted after install). When communicating with the advisor (Durwin), he would go weeks without an update, blaming it on one party or another. After over a month with my car not in use and a credit card dispute filed, they ended up asking for the part to shipped back to them for which they would charge me a 35% restocking fee. The worst customer service out of all the car parts stores I've worked with on my exotics.

Nothing through them was worth me waiting 2 weeks for an appointment, dropping the car off, renting a car for 2 days and then returning to be told they didn't do anything. There wasn't even really an apology to me, he seemed more pissed that he couldn't sell me the product and make money, almost like it was my fault he failed to research what he was selling. Finally I dont know why hes gotta lie but saying they didn't remove the exhaust to swap the rear sway bar??? But somehow it also took 3 hours of labor??? He didn't want to take responsibility for my exhaust when he had the car in the shop, only after i left and told him it wasnt right, bullshit man. What an absolute horrible experience and a total waste of my time and money.

Albert Einstein Some background info: I hate being hot. Price is no object in my quest to stay cool. Bought a townhouse near the ocean and replaced all the windows with double pane low-E glass which keeps out heat in the summer. When I bought my car it had no tint and I got hot when the sun shined on me through the windows. I put very light Greystone CR 70 grade tint on the front 2 windows and I only got warm when the sun hit me. The back 3 windows had Greystone CR 40 grade tint which was limo dark and sitting back there you could barely feel the sun. The problem with my Civic is the front windshield is huge and sloped so a ton of sunlight hits the dashboard and me so often I got hot from sunlight coming through the windshield. Last year I was driving to Palm Springs alot and was getting really hot even with the AC set to maximum. I did research on the net and found out 3M had released a Crystalline series of window tint which had the highest heat rejection rating I had ever seen. Cut to now: It's summer. I'm getting hot driving around. I call SD Motorsports and they squeeze me in at the last minute for a early morning appointment. 2 hours and $350 later my front windshield is tinted with 3M Crystalline CR 70 grade tint. They did an excellent job on the install. Looking through the windshield is much like looking through the front side windows. The heat rejection is about the same as sitting in the backseat behind the Greystone CR 40 limo grade tint. To summarize: 3M Crystalline tint is expensive and does an excellent job keeping me and my car cool. SD Motorsports provided excellent customer service and did a great job tinting my windshield.

My 2018 Model 3 had held up nicely over the years, but I noticed several scratches and paint chips that could have been avoidable with the proper protection. I had no knowledge or experience with PPF or ceramic coating, so I began researching. My research advised that XPEL was the best brand; however, the most important factor was choosing a quality installer! "A mediocre installer putting XPEL on your Tesla can produce a worse result than an exceptional installer putting STEK or LLumar on it."After looking over Yelp reviews, I reached out to four of the "best" PPF installers in San Diego. Wasim of SunDiego Auto Spa responded within one hour. The others responded 4-5 days later. Wasim quickly provided quotes for full PPF, ceramic coating, and window tinting. I had to wait nearly a week to get competitive quotes from the other PPF installers, which pushed my project further out than I wanted. Upon obtaining three quotes, I visited each shop to understand their process, environment, staff, and ability to educate me about paint protection. Wasim took time to educate me about the various options, techniques, and software. He also showed me several vehicles with PPF and tint being installed. More importantly, the team was approachable, friendly, and engaging! Happy employees generally result in happy customers. My experience at the other shops felt much less engaging and educational. I was given basic information about pricing and timeline, and had to request a tour of the shop. We settled on XPEL Fusion PPF (full coverage), XPEL Premium Ceramic Coating, and XPEL Prime XR Plus window tint. The price was very competitive, and the results are outstanding! You can see the finish quality on all sections of the vehicle. SunDiego Auto Spa removed badges, trim, and wrapped edges for a virtually invisible application. Other installers simply cut around badges and trim, leaving visible seams. Wasim went above and beyond by also agreeing to install our third-party mud flaps and applying protection to our interior displays as a bonus! I would definitely recommend SunDiego Auto Spa for your project and hope to be bringing a new Rivian R2 to the shop soon!

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!

At first, I thought one of my previous chip repairs had failed, but it turned out I had never actually had that particular chip repaired. Lots of window chips happened this snowboarding season! After removing the windshield, JD took the time to walk me through everything, showing me the original repairs that had been done and pointing out the unrepaired chip I had completely forgotten I didn't get fixed. I really appreciated how patient and transparent he was in explaining the differences. Even though the mix-up was entirely my mistake, he graciously honored his original price quote. That level of honesty, integrity, and customer service is hard to find these days. Each interaction he was incredibly responsive, punctual, and had me taken care of faster than I expected. It's so great finding consistently excellent work. The quality of his repairs is outstanding, and you can tell he genuinely takes pride in what he does. He's honest, professional, and makes the entire process easy and stress-free. He even helped me call in my windshield repair to insurance which was great because insurance always confuses me. As an added bonus, my kids absolutely loved meeting JD's dog, Oreo! Oreo was so sweet and friendly that my kids are still talking about him. It's those little personal touches that make the experience even more enjoyable. The office waiting area was super nice and clean. If you're looking for someone you can trust for windshield repairs, I can't recommend JD enough. Between his exceptional workmanship, reliability, and outstanding customer service, he's earned a customer for life. We'll happily recommend him to all of our friends and family, we will for sure return as windshield needs arise.
