Brought my vehicle for a consultation on replacing the garbage Blaupunkt that was previously…read moreinstalled. Told Cal that I just wanted an entry level double din that has Apple CarPlay. He advised me that they had a Boss Elite BE7ACP in stock. I shared my opinion that I felt Boss was Wal-Mart junk, and Cal told me it had a 2 year warranty and that their quality has improved with the Elite series. I spent a few minutes researching others' opinions online, and they were mixed. Some people said that they'd had this model for years with no issues. Others reported issues with it powering down unexpectedly. I am aware that some issues can be the result of a poor install. A loose ground, a bad connection, etc. all will cause issues. Since this is an older car that I rarely drive, more of a back-up car, I rolled the dice. This model only has wired CarPlay which Cal was upfront about, but I don't care. I plug my phone in to charge when I get in anyway, I don't understand the people who will spend $200 more for wireless but that's their prerogative. He was also honest about the couple of Sony units he had in stock, and while there wasn't a great variety on display that's common in smaller shops. They just don't have the room for 20 units on display, although I think they could squeeze in a few more. The unit they sold me was $50 more than it sells for ($200) on Amazon, and I know small businesses use product mark-up to help with their small profit margins. I didn't complain, but if they will install equipment that you buy yourself, that may be another option to save money. An important note: I had been to another install shop in Mokena, they wanted thousands of dollars (literally) to replace the head unit and speakers, stating that they couldn't use my factory Bose amp that drives the 7 speakers my car came with in 2007. They had all sorts of stories about why it made sense to spend $4k to replace a head unit, amp, and speakers in a car whose blue-book value is $1,800. Cal listened to my speakers and explained that the front right tweeter was blown and that he could replace the tweeters and door speakers because they are a component system with some decent Kenwood or Alpine options for about $400 - which I will take him up on. He can integrate them with my Bose amp with no issues. I just need my sound to not to "buzz", I'm not entering car stereo competitions - and he's taking care of that. Cal had a cancellation on the upcoming Saturday and squeezed me in. By the afternoon the work was done and everything works great. It's true that they have only 1 garage, and Cal was the only one there both times I went. I know that presents challenges when he has to leave working on a car to come to the counter for a walk-in. But I wasn't ignored and didn't wait at all. He was attentive and patient and explained everything well. So far the Boss head unit works well and there are no issues. I will update the review if things go south. But most importantly, people should know that my experience with the one employee I dealt with at Automotive Concepts (Cal) was honest, offered options instead of trying to scam me, and executed a solid install. I would trust someone who does this for a career before I bring it to some Best Buy hack who will be working elsewhere in 6 months.

Incredible job on my 2024 Tesla M3LR highland instrument cluster. Looks awesome and they are the…read morenicest guys ever. Genuinely good people that don't take advantage of you and price gouge. Reasonable prices and quick but efficient and good work. Check this out!
