Kept telling/ YELLING at me that the new stereo installation they did on my Subaru was perfect even though none of my steering wheel buttons worked anymore and there were all these random wires in plain sight. I now have to connect my phone to a random usb coming out of my glove compartment instead of the built-in usb outlet on my dash. And then, on top of all the disappointment and no refunds, the screws holding the sub woofer onto the back of my seat (terrible placement) came off and now it just sits there. Cheap price, cheap work. Period.

They have a large inventory, very patient and professional. Did not rush me to make a purchase decision and answered every question with an answer that I understood. Will show you how to use product before leaving. Very impressed. A little price but worth the investment.

Great job guys with doing my window tempting. I had gone to HD before to have my windows tinted my son and I, HD did an awesome job but I had moved to Riverside County and was looking for someone to do it out here but couldnt find anyone with a fair price.For My 2021 Tesla Model 3 here in Riverside they were trying to charge me $900 just for window tinting so I had to come back to HD and he was very fair considering it was a Tesla thank Guys.

They did an install that didn’t connect to my steering wheel buttons, I asked them to fix it, they told me if I can find the right harness for my car they can install it… I thought that’s what I went to a stereo shop for ?!Update: he retaliated by posting a negative review for my business. He has never met me obviously because I am not a “HE” I am a she.

I bought a Groupon- $49 for two windows. I called for appointment, was told that Groupon people were last in line. First available was one month later (today). I was surprised.I arrived on time for their first available time slot at 9:30 this morning. At 10 o’clock, I was told I had to wait another half an hour. At 10:20, when I asked, I was told they “might” be able to get to me at 11. I had other appointments, had to leave. Certainly didn’t expect to wait a minimum of 1.5 hours just to start the work.Requested rescheduling, and was told I would have to wait ANOTHER month!! When I expressed surprise that they were refusing to reschedule sooner, was told that $49 was a great price. Kind of like what did I expect. Did not consult any schedule book/screen that I could see, either. Basically just mean and dismissive. Fellows, if you don’t want to do Groupon work, don’t offer it. Didn’t get windows tinted, felt disrespected, wasted an hour of my time.NOT RECOMMENDED.

Omar provided me with awesome customer service. As a woman im always intimidated when going to shops, but as soon as I walked in Omar was knowledgeable, straight to the point, and provided me with the steps they were going to do when tinting my car. I immediately told him that I had a groupon, which made me nervous because I never used groupon before and thought the price was too good to be true so I was prepared to pay out of pocket, but all Omar did was scan my groupon code and I was out the door. My appointment was at 9:00am and I had my car by 9:45, super quick. The tint in the front matches with the back and im super happy with the results. I definitely recommend anyone to visit HD car stereo. Thanks again Omar.

These guys are great! Omar looked at my car, evaluated my needs and requests, gave me a reasonable quote and got to work. Danny did a great job on the installation and setup of my stereo, steering wheel controls and a clean setup in the center console. I highly recommend bringing your car here for audio work. Great price and great work!

This place is the worst, it deserves a zero star rating.I purchased an Alpine IXL-W650, which seems to be defective, literally nothing works other than the radio. Will not connect to Bluetooth or Apple Car play.I called them asking for a refund and they said they dont offer refunds. I tried to discuss my options with them and they simply said we dont do refunds here and proceeded to hang up the phone on me. Avoid this place

This place don’t value costumers don’t waste your time coming here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Went to them multiple times Very unprofessional. I called to get my tinted windows done oscar omar or whoever told me just to come. I left my car there from 12nn to 5pm and they didnt do it, the guy said they were soo busy and told me just to comeback tomorrow. So I came and he said he cant do it because there too busy again. i think he just doesnt wanna take me! Its totally fine, i just hope that he tells me in the beginning and save my time and effort going back en forth. they already have a lot of customers, they dont need new ones, so dont waste your time coming to this place because they will not entertain you.

Despite being told that my car stereo parts arrived, they called me two hours AFTER I dropped off the car for installation to tell me they didnt arrive after all. This isnt good customer service and unprofessional. I ordered the stereo and parts last weekend and was told it would arrive Tuesday. I called Thursday to check and they said they would arrive Friday. I showed up for installation on Saturday and they said things were fine and installation would finish in two hours. Two hours later, they called me and said the parts were arriving Monday. This is incompetent service and a hassle to deal with. Good service wouldve simply been told Friday that the part still didnt show up and that theyll confirm with me when it did arrive so we can do the installation. I showed up to pick up my car and requested a refund on my $250 deposit (for a total $1000 job). The salesperson resisted refunding me saying it was a special order and I replied, Im not paying anything when no service has been performed. Had he still refused, I wouldve called my credit card company to dispute the charge. So he asked his manager who immediately OKd the refund. So two stars for refunding me, but overall, not a good, transparent experience.

I just want to inspect the wiring due to left side speakers has no sound and the manager told that his installer can make my sound better . I will add $200+ to fix it. . and I said no . Just fix the wiring of speaker. When I driving , I `ve heard like static or a grounding prob.Bestbuy closed due to Covid 19.I purchased at Bestbuy Store and installed it before. My alpine car audio sound system is sound great before...

Review №18

I was charged $150 more than the average job. Vehicle came back with a long, deep scratch on my passenger mirror. The manager denied my claims, told me I mustve missed the scratch when I bought my car (a fresh scratch) argued with me and refused to review the cameras. When I returned to complain about the scratch, another customer had just arrived to complain about their shoddy alarm installation. All 5 people I know that have come here had to come back a second time after finishing. So far, good tint job.

Was having an issue with my stock radio so thought it was time to add an aux cord or update the whole thing. I walked in super unsure of what to ask for and was instantly greeted, walked out to my car, pulled up some options and talked me through it. Set up my appointment for the next day and was out in under 2 hours with a new stereo. These guys were awesome and very helpful.

Review №21

I called HD Car stereo and was given a quote for window tinting for my car in the amount Of $170, when I got there Omar gave me 2 other quotes, since I dont know much about tinting I asked what was the difference in the pricing OMAR tells me to go look on the wall it will explain the difference in the pricing, he made no attempt to explain why 1 price was $170.00, $299, and $499. I was shocked that a place of business would treat a potential customer in such a way. I LEFT AND WENT TO GET MY CAR TINTED AT A SHOP WHERE I FELT MY MONEY AND BUSINESS WAS APPROECIATED. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYONE.

Review №22

This place is a fraud! They claim on groupon to have ALL your windows tinted for a set price, but when you go the manager tells you the front driver and passenger windows are excluded!And will charge you more if you want them tinted.Theres no fine print that mentions ANY EXCLUSIONS so when you see what they advertise ALL WINDOWS for the said price its a LIE!!!! I will not recommend this business to anyone I know, and for people out there be forewarned! Shady shady placeAnd the owner is behind all this, he encourages his manager and staff to run a shady business.

Review №23

These guys are unprofessional ⛔️😞so rude and ignorant, can’t even describe the price set up for car tinting over the phone, that trigger a red flag ,👎when a potential customer calling to ask for free-estimate, explain to him patiently as you advertised .I will avoid these guys , there are a lot out there with a professional job and high quality customer service.Don’t be sorry choosing these guys.

Where may I start as a Customer since 2015, this place has not let me down! Omar and his staff have helped me with my car ever since purchasing their services, I first installed my radio, and it has never failed me. Then I tinted my windows and after 3 years they havent pealed or any sign of wear, it has held and still looks new. I did my speakers and added an amplifier here and they gave me a great deal and my cars sound system has improved and is loud if I need it. Latest thing I installed was my alarm system and restored my paint for my car. And WOW! The car looks like it came out of the dealer and the alarm system viper 5305v is AMAZING. This is the only place Ill ever go. They have so many services and work with you the best they can. Hands down a reliable place, and great outstanding products/service!

Spent 500 dollars to get a radio installed and instead of telling me they didnt know how to complete the job they advised they didnt have time to contact tech support from the company i bought it from . 1st time they claimed radio was defected. Brought a replacment and same problem. Not the unit but installation. Still took money and radio still not working. After spending 500 dollars no time too contact tech support?

Horrible customer serviceI bought a groupon for legal tint on all windows for a 2 or 4 door car and when I went in I got told Id be spending more because that doesnt cover the front two windowsThen when asked why he says I wasnt being upfront about having a groupon, as if i was supposed to know not to buy itHe says I should have went straight to him (not groupon)ttthen said he didnt like my tone therefor wouldnt work on my car

Review №37

Customer service is subpar. I got my windows tinted yesterday, they took about 2 and a half hours to tint 5 windows. It was night time when I finally got out of there so I didn’t notice my left rear window had air bubbles. I took it back this morning and the guys couldn’t even admit to their mistake. They blamed me, saying I rolled the windows down “by accident” even though there is tape on all the controls specifically stating NOT to roll windows down for 48 hours. So how I would accidentally roll a window down is beyond me. Anyway, they were very rude and arrogant and sassy to say the least. Perhaps if I was a burly buff man they would’ve humbled themselves. I gave 2 stars because they fixed the problem for free HA! That is, after insulting my intelligence. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone I give a rat’s a** about.

Omar, youre the man! I was referred here by an auto electrical place right down the street and boy was I glad I stopped in, I was greeted with a real professional attitude and able to get my malfunctioning alarm ripped out and a new one installed IN LIKE 20 MINUTES. Not only that, but since I was a first time customer they graciously kept the same Viper model that I came in with at a slightly reduced price.They do alarms/stereos/tint, I will definitely refer people here in the future because of how great these guys were.

They melted my headliner with their heat gun while installing tint on my sunroof. Omar the Manager did not take any responsibility for the damage his installer caused . I’m extremely disappointed and upset . I’ve been a long time customer and this was my fifth car I brought to them over the years . I will be filling a complaint with the better business bureau.

The 2 brothers that work there and run it are kind and understanding and will work with you on all your auto needs. They make the right decisions for your vehicle so you are not buying any unnecessary accessories thats how honest the 2 of them are. They both made me feel at ease from my 1st time checking this place out and pimping my ride. I was sold right then by their customer service.

Review №44

Ive been a bad experience at this place. I hired an alarm service and module to go up the doors of my truck, I was told that I would have to leave the car for 5 hours to perform the service. when I returned to the place I had not done anything in the vehicle. we rebooked for another week. installed the alarm but did not want to install the module to raise the windows, claiming that would have to use more wires and would be more expensive then we canceled the module and installed only the alarm. I lost 6 more hours and when I returned to the place I did not finish the service at the scheduled time I waited another 2 hours and it was when I realized that they are not competent professionals because the light from the ceiling of my truck is on and does not turn off. I stayed the weekend like this and I returned today to solve their error and or to remove the alarm so that my truck will return to normal operation as it was before and did not solve my problem I do not recommend this place to anyone because it has a very poor service and are unprepared to install equipment in new vehicles.

DONT COME HERE! Plain and simple I was told by the owner when I bought A PAIR HID LIGHTS that my warranty was covered for 1 year. Anything wrong with them bring them back and we will swap them out. So I did I came back becuase I know one of them became dull so the owner and parts install bay worker said I don’t see nothing wrong. When I clearly told him you can’t tell right now. It’s a night when your driving and on the road you can clearly see it.i even tried to just have only the failing one to be swapped out. And they tried to CHARGE ME 25$ on top of the 90$ that I already had paid and then asked for an upgrade and tried to charge an additional 200$ and tried to play the whole 175$ right now since your here card. People don’t go here it’s a RIP OFF AND “WARRANTY” ARE NO GOOD HERE!!!!!!!!!!

This place is a rip off and do not honor warranty. They told me it would be covered against wear and tear and defects but i went and suddenly they dont cover it. The manager was rude and arrogant. They also gave me the incorrect shade. I saw it in the samples and it looked much darker then when they actually put it on the car. They tried to charge me a dofferent price after telling my husband one price. Worst money i have ever spent! Id rather go get it done at a swapmeet. Better quality and better service! DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME HERE!

Nice clean install on my 2nd gen xB. While other shops told me a double din wouldnt fit, needed to modify/hack to fit decently, and needed to order the proper parts. Well the guys at HD Car Stereo had everything needed and no hacking needed to be done. They also gave me a better price than the other 3 shops I hit up in the area. I highly recommend HD Car stereo, the crew is very knowledgeable and best of all they dont talk down to you like some of the other shops did. Thanks again.Forgot to mention that the other shops werent too happy when they saw I had my own head unit but that wasnt a problem at HD Car Stereo. 👍

Needed a subwoofer for my subaru impreza. I called months ago to see if they sold them. They did not and advised me of the problems associated with under seat subs, but said they would install if I found one. I found the speaker and called back months later. They were able to install the following day. Ali advised me on wire package differences (which i researched before hand and he was on point). He said 1 1/2 hr install....it was only 1 hour and 29 min😜. Solid honest and fair = HD Car Stereo

I called theese guys when my alarm broke... He gave me some advice sounded real legit and real nice on the phone. So I went in he quoted me 150 for a viper alarm the basic one... I told him i had to go grab my atm. I had handed it to my wife tje day before at the grocery store and forgot.... So when i come back, tbey are now swamped. He tells me he wont have time that day anymore. Then tells me but dont worry come tommorrow morning and bring cash. We wont even charge u taxes.So I go in. In the morning. Dude says Are u ready? To which i say yes and hand him my keys. I watch him as he grabs the cheap off brand alarm and proceeds to head back... Thats when things go real bad... Because I stop him. And tell him hey you guys quoted me 150 for the viper. He tells me thats too cheap, and they did not quote me that basically calls me a liar. So i attempt to remind him what he told me and then he says ok ill do it but still claims he never said so... At which point I remind him that he was standing right there when his stupid partner that claims he never said 150 told me to bring 150 cash and hed waive the taxes.... The main reason I walked out was because the guy had my keys and was ready to install the cheap alarm, but he was gonna put me on the backburner and make me wait because I called him out on his bait and switch tactics....scumbags have no word.
