    Once again i returned to THE ONLY car stereo shop in SD i trust and once again Adam came through like always. I purchased a new head unit for my birthday and Adam and crew got it in without any issues same day-i even got a new back up cam with it! because of my own operator error, I did not think it had the Apple Car Play i hoped for. Adam insisted on doing what it took to make me happy with my new stereo and asked me to come by the next day for a personalized tutorial that i did not have time for the day of installation. After being shown how to get Car Play working, it confirmed i made the right decision by sticking with the only "above and beyond" service car stereo shop in SD . Thanks again Adam!

    Bought a pre owned bmw, with your typical headlights issues... and I reached out to a friend and he recommended Adam at Car Audio One. Upon arriving, I reached the front counter and to my surprise, I Was greeted by Adam himself. After explaining my headlight issues to him, he quickly recommended I go with a higher quality set of lights and offered me a phenomenal deal. Pretty much a hook up, I would say. Although they had a full garage, their efficient employees had other cars and mine ready in less than 1 hour. Not only did I now have peace of mind at a discounted, I also left a very happy satisfied customer. Thank you Car Audio One for your service.

    Huge shout out to Adam, Mike and Wayne for taking care of of me and treating me like family. After looking through multiple car audio dealerships to get my Durango all dialed in with Mosconi and Focal, Adam at Car audio one was the only dealership that can figure out the sound system and get it working properly. They also installed Dynamat for the whole vehicle and Edgar the tech was outstanding with attention to detail. If you are looking to get any Focal or Mosconi work done to your car audio one is were you wanna go and talk to Adam or Mike .

    Amazing service. I'm very happy with with my new stereo can't go wrong coming here I just got my stereo installed for my Toyota Camry and the GBL subwoofer sounds really good. Very happy.

    Just had my system installed! Sounds badass! Come get your system done car audio one will take care of you!

    My experience with Carlos in the San Diego Tint Specialist location in Main Street. First of all I…read morelooked up where to do my tint and I got multiple options, based on reviews and ratings I decided to ask more about this location. Initially I requested to be quoted on yelp, no response for a good amount of hours which isn't a big deal since I just decided to call and was able to get my quote quickly over the phone. We were able to set up an appointment and he actually set it at 8:15am because I asked for it to be done soon because of work and he had another client after when he's usually at least I've seen open at 9am which I can appreciate. When I came to the appointment there was a positive and a negative, the positive is he helped me decide on the right tint 5% on back 45 % on front 2 and 70% windshield CXP but there was a spontaneous 60$ increase to my price from 700 to 760$ due to him running out of the tint i was initially going for and switching to CXP which at first I was skeptical but I think the result was worth it and it comes with a *limited* life time warranty. Overall 2 hiccups, it's not a big operation & the guy who helped was very polite and explained things very openly which I can also appreciate, I'm happy with my experience and result and I would definitely recommend this place to the people I know as well as any person reading.

    Best decision I've made for my cars this year. Manny (Mobile Tint Guy) is professional, punctual,…read moreand highly skilled. He responded within 15 minutes and gave me a clear quote upfront and it was a very good number. Fair pricing and zero hassle. He arrived on time and quickly began the tinting. I went with the Nano-Ceramic film (I believe it was 3M) with 5 (limo tint) in all back windows and 30 in fronts. No bubbles, no "fingers" at the edges, and the cuts are laser-precise. He finished my first car in under two hours. The ceramic tint looks amazing and has already dropped the cabin temp significantly. Flawless application. Manny provided a receipt and a lifetime warranty against bubbling/fading. He also instructed me to not roll down windows for 3-5 days (3 was sufficient, so plan that accordingly), which shows that he cares about the long-term result! Two weeks later, I requested Manny come and do my other two cars and again, Manny was professional, friendly and finished in no time. This time I went with 20 in all fronts. Looks amazing! I have two maybe three other vehicles left for him to do! Manny (Mobile Tint Guy) is my number ONE choice for any vehicle tint. Look no further! Hit him up!

He made sure everything was corrected and took his time to get it right. The tint came out super clean but no bubbles, no flaws, looks great. Overall solid experience.

They installed them perfectly, they look amazing on my truck. I didn't have LED bulbs for my fog lamps, but Moe gave me a great price that included installation, plus a lifetime guarantee on their work and a ten‑year warranty on the fog‑lamp LEDs. You can't beat that kind of confidence. John also helped me out with a Kicker Hideaway 12" for my pickup, and once again, the deal he gave me included installation and a lifetime guarantee on the work. The sound upgrade is exactly what I was looking for and it's not taken up space in my pickup. Both Moe and John were professional, helpful, and straightforward. Great prices, clean work, and solid warranties, this shop really stands behind what they do. Highly recommend Car Audio One if you want quality service and people who actually care about their customers.

    I went to the Kicker Audio web site to search for an authorized Kicker dealer in the Chula Vista…read morearea and came across Car Audio One. I stopped in a few days ago to see if they had the speakers that I wanted for the front and rear of my Ford Explorer and they did. I bought the equipment and got there at 9 AM today to have them installed. Within an hour, I got a call saying that the vehicle was ready to be picked up. When I got there, the vehicle was parked in the front and John proceeded to have me test the system before leaving and showed me the old equipment in the back seat. I attribute the short installation time to the fact that I was replacing aftermarket speakers in my Explorer with new ones so they only had to remove/replace what was already installed. No cutting or splicing of wires was necessary. I was also told that two people were working on my car which sped up the installation. The only thing that I wouldn't do is force someone to leave feedback before leaving. As I was getting ready to leave the showroom, I was asked for my phone and before I knew it, a Google review page was open with five stars already selected and a photo was attached. When I checked my camera roll later, I realized that John had taken the picture himself! I don't mind leaving feedback for a business and have done it countless times but I would rather do the work myself rather than it be forced. P.S. There was only one small issue that was noticed when John was trying to get out of the passenger side of the car. He noticed that the inside door handle wasn't working and he had to open it from the outside. This was quickly fixed by one of the techs who popped the door panel and connected the necessary part.
