Came here to get a dashcam installed in my car. Not only was the team friendly, extremely helpful, and knowledgeable over the phone but also did a fantastic job on the install! Everything was done quickly and looks great.

Talk about the most painless install ever. I called when these guys opened and they just happened to have a cancellation for 3:30. I got there and everything was done in less than 45 min. I also forgot the mic for my radio at home and they hooked me up. I called another audio shop that was closer to me but they wanted to charge me $1200 and I already had my stuff and $50 was just for having my own equipment. These guys did it for a few hundred dollars. Mr. Rommel told me how to install my backup camera when I got home since I didn’t have the harness. It’s nice when a business treats you like a person instead of just another dollar. If I could give you more than 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I definitely would.

Thank you Mr. Bradley for the awesome review!! Unfortunately not all shop are created equal (good for us) and don't see it the same way as we do. We DO NOT over sell our customers and actually listen to their needs. We will always recommend what to do whether or not the customer listens to us or not. We will always perform in the most Christian way possibly, even though we know that we are not perfect nor claim to be. Thank you for trusting us and for taking the time to leave us this review......thanks!!

My son found C.A.R.S. so they can install my new car radio. I have no words to explain how detailed they are + the excellent work they did. We would’ve never known about them if it wasn’t for Best Buy making excuses not to install. We brought all the parts needed & C.A.R.S. did their thing. Very satisfied customer, owner & staff very friendly & knowledgeable. I learned a few things myself. Definitely recommend them. Again great job guys!
Response from business
We always strive to meet or exceed our customer's needs. I'm glad Best Buy couldn't do this job, they would've messed it up anyways. Plus we wouldn't have met y'all. Thank you for trusting us and for leaving this great review!! Please let us know if we can be of assistance on anything else you might have in the near future!!

Great results adding apple carplay system and backup camera to a 2007 Lexus
Response from business
Thank you, Mr. Houston, for choosing us to upgrade your Lexus with a new wireless Apple CarPlay radio along with a much needed backup camera system. We love taking great vehicles such as yours and bringing her to the modern day. With vehicles being so expensive nowadays, this is a perfect choice to keep her fresh and relevant. Once again thank you and please let us know if you need anything else from us!!

I thought I was getting tired of hip hop, but it turns out my bass just wasn’t hitting right lol. These guys wired my subwoofer and amplifier + tinted my windows for pretty much half the price of the other quotes I received around the city. Very simple process, fast work, and clean installs! Mental health improved +1000%!! Thank you guys! Highly recommend!!
Response from business

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great experience from start to finish! I had an amplifier and speaker system installed in my truck, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Mel and his team were professional, knowledgeable, and did an excellent job with the installation. Everything looks clean and sounds amazing. They took the time to make sure everything was done right and made the whole process easy. I highly recommend this shop to anyone looking for quality work and great customer service. I’ll definitely be back for any future upgrades!
