Had a radio problem (touch screen melting) no longer covered by warranty. Dealer quoted $4000 to replace entire unit and no other solution offered. Ray at Oakland HiFi replaced the glass, fixing the problem at an eighth the price. They were quick, efficient, courteous and generally great.

I really appreciated this shop. I got a great price for CarPlay and a backup camera that they installed in my SUV. I got a quick appointment, the owner gave me a lift home, it took the exact amount of time they said it would, everyone was really nice, and it’s supporting local business. It’s all positives 😻
Response from business

I would probably never have found this place if it weren’t for them being a Speed-X drop off, but I’m so glad I did! They did incredible work on my Beetle, quoted me a number I agreed to, then it ended up being even less! Plus they finished the work so fast, same day within a few hours of drop off. Highly reccomend.
Response from business

Bait and switch. Quoted one price then when I brought the car in, changed and had several add ons. Told me the quoted price was only good for one day. Then asked me how much I was willing to pay…. I left. Very disappointing
