These guys did a great job on our dashcam install. We loved the attention to detail and their experience. Very professional.

Extremely friendly and exceptional customer service been taking my car for the Intoxalock calibration every couple months and they always take care of me extremely quickly I'm in and out in maybe 7-8 minutes. On top of that they have an awesome line of products from the dash cam recorder to the remote starters and alarms I definitely recommend this business. read more

SHOUTOUT TO CK AUTO IMAGE! Once in a blue moon i would leave a review and I give my review what it deserves; good or bad. I've been going to Ken ever since I got my IID installed by his shop and meeting Ken and his associates. I had alot of little things done to Astella and everytime I did anything I took into consideration of Ken's recommendations first. I could've forked out the money, he could've just taken my money and done it my way but I took heed of his advice whether it be for safety or cosmetically looks. Thats honesty and ethical work values. I value. CK Auto Image work done on Astella to date: IID installation and calibrations. Clear PPF front Bumper, Acura Emblem, and Headlights wrapped. Damascus Hood, Mirrors, Roof and Tailgate wrapped. All windows tinted including Front Windshield and Panoramic Moon Roof. Customized Trunk based on my needs and ideas. JBL 8 inch Subwoofer w/amp. Felted lined. Aftermarket Roof Rail, Racks, Sidesteps and iKamper 3.0 Mini installed. Custom "Astella" LED lighted door sills (4) installed. I am extremely happy with all the recommendations from Ken, work done and pricing. I hope this review will help other find their way to his shop for honest & reliable work & beautiful end results. read more

Installed a gps tracker in a car. Price about average. Easy to schedule. Answered all my questions. did the work and delivered as promised.

lt gets even better. I took my car back because I wanted to go with a different option on the dot matrix on the rear hatch. Previously we used vinyl because of the density. This time we tried tint and it was just too bubbly for my taste - NO fault of CK's that's just how the thing's made. Ken replaced that patch with vinyl for free. I also wanted him to diagnose some engine whine. We determined that it was a faulty Y-connector and that signal wasn't getting to a speaker. So while Ken worked on the tint (which he'd already told me he would replace for free if I didn't like the way we did it), he let me use his tools, some scrap speaker wire and garage space to replace the Y-connectors and to run signal to the speaker in the door myself (I love doing this stuff - just rarely have space and time). Ken gave up probably $200-$400 in diagnostic fees and cable routing by letting me work on my car myself - with his guidance and tools. Ken gained all of my audio and "cool car project" business for life. Thank you. The car looks fantastic, sounds the best it's ever sounded, and I still feel like I robbed you paying only $40 today. Ken and his team at CK are the real deal. read more

Ken, put in a custom system in my 370z 12 year's ago. The sound is still crazy loud and on point. I wouldn't trust my car with anyone else but him and his crew. Give him a shot you won't be disappointed. I'm a happy customer read more

Simply the BEST place to go in the Bay Area for any car audio, tint service. Been going to this place over 10 years. Ken and Noel will take care of you if not I'll buy you a smoothie or lunch for leading you wrong. read more

Ken is a pro and knows his electronics/stereo. Go there if you want to install/upgrade your car stereo. Ken put on a Carplay add-on for my 2018 Prius. Another technician messed it up when changing the 12V battery. The backup camera and Carplay no longer worked. Ken patiently took the glove compartment apart to hard reset the Carplay head unit. He also helped fix my backup camera. I am truly grateful. read more

When it comes to aftermarket car audio work, it's been a mixed bag for me over the last decade. Fortunately this has all finally changed thanks to CK Auto Image. This place is absolutely AWESOME. We decided to update the wife's car stereo so we called up CK Auto Image and made a weekend appointment with Ken. We were greeted promptly at our scheduled appointment and Ken reviewed all the work we wanted done. We essentially wanted to take out our stock stereo, install a new double DIN faceplate, and install a new Clarion multitouch headunit with GPS, SiriusXM, iPhone interface & Backup Camera. Since Infiniti has a pretty complicated factory stereo that requires most of the dash to be disassembled and a new A/C controller to be put in, this install was definitely not a simple one. Ken however tackled the job without any drama at all. He knew the G coupe well and even found ways to hide the GPS & Sirius antennas within the dash itself...nice touch for sure! The backup camera he recommended was also installed perfectly and synced up with the headunit seamlessly. When we decide to customize our other cars, we definitely will be giving Ken a call again. With the best rates in Silicon Valley and premier, professional quality work to back it up, I HIGHLY recommend you check out CK Auto Image for all your aftermarket auto needs. read more

I wanted an Emblem backup camera & radio that would retain the factory steering wheel controls for my older/2015 Volkswagen. All the places that I requested quotes from told me this was not possible for my older car, except CK Auto. The new camera and radio were installed on schedule and at the quoted price. Ken was friendly and professional throughout the process. Highly recommended! read more

No idea what kind of business this is... requested a quote, got a response for $10 (there is no way its that cheap), then nothing... read more

The purpose of this review is to explain my situation and possibly prevent others going through what I have experienced. For the full record, I don't have hard evidence but am very suspicious. Last December, I came to this shop to install backup sensor for my car. The service was completed and has been working great. Fast forward 5 months, I begin to see a rear lift gate issue where the buttons don't work and latch motor would not lock causing the rear trunk to pop up especially on freeway (safety hazard). I went to the dealership to diagnose and repair. After 20 hours and replacements of two spindles and latch (over $2k), issue persisted. The technician there found a cut in the grommet in the harness near top of the trunk. The repair to this cut was undone. The technical then soldered it back. After getting home, I looked online and found youtube video which shows in order to install backup sensors, the wires go through the grommet which got cut. Again, I don't have hard evidence but am extremely suspicious because of the video and 5 month timing. There was only one oil change and tire rotation at a regular shop during this 8 month period to the car. Please be careful. read more

This is probably my first review and unfortunately not the one I wanted to write. I visited this place late 2018 because one of my speakers was working intermittently. Ken suggested a rewire and I also requested to add the steering wheel control install. When I picked up truck later in the day, everything looked fine and I drove home. Then, the problem persisted and I contacted Ken over the phone and he suggested to do a "full re-wire" at a later date. I decided to pay for the full re-wire and dropped off my truck a few days later. When I picked it up, my existing rear view camera was not working. The technician had to pull the dashboard apart and fix the problem. Again, everything seemed to be working fine. When I got home from the picking up my truck, my truck would not turn off when I removed my key from the ignition (engine would still be running), my remote start stopped working and my gauge cluster was dead. I decided to drive back to Ken's and try to get the problem fixed. I was not happy with all these problems caused by a "re-wire". To be fair, I do not believe Ken did the installation. It was his technician. When I went back to Ken's and explained all these problems, he did not take responsibility and instead suggested that my ignition switch was the problem. He even suggested to take it to a mechanic to get it scanned for any codes. I was obviously furious by his lack of ownership. I understand that we all make mistakes, but putting the blame on others is not the way to go. I decided to cut my loses and not even bother about going back. I would not let those guys put a hand on my truck ever again. This failed installed cost me a few thousands to repair. After taking it to two different Chevrolet dealerships (labor hourly rate is pretty expensive) and having no luck, a technician recommended a car audio shop that would take care of the problem. It's important to note that the dealerships did not find problems with the starter or other main components. They said the problem was a wiring issue and since it was an aftermarket installation they prefer not to touch it. To end this review, I took my truck to a car audio shop and they fixed the problem. Turns out that Ken's shop tapped into the wrong wire and it was creating all these problems. They had to replace the stock harness and "re-wire" my system. read more

I had quotes from 2/3 of the people that can disconnect the last car alarm. The other place was busy for a walk in and this place said to come in after I messaged the time. After a hour, they were done for $80, which is a good reasonable price. I'm glad that I went here. read more

I used yelp to help me find a car tiniting place and it is right across the street where I work. They are planning to move across the street to upgrade their facilities so they can do more work on the cars like their shop in Philadelphia, it would be nice to have a regular mechanic on hand as well, so I will go to them. Anyways I set up an appointment at 11am, but I came in earlier, but they did not mind. They showed me all of the options I can choose from in the car tinting and the pros and benefits to each of them. I went with the conservative approach not too dark on the tint so the cops would pull me over. The warranty can not get any better, it is lifetime warranty so if it peels or bubbles, the will redo it for you for free as long as you own the car. The price to do my impala 2011 was $250, for all five wondows, the front too sides and the rear as well. It looks very nice and Ken could have charge me the $275 dollars, but he did not. The prices were great on the job they do. They got done as they said they would 3 hours and I picked up my car at 4pm and was very pleased with the results. read more

Ken was great to work with. He helped me get a front and rear blackvue dash cam installed, including power supply hookup. Very straightforward hardworking guy. I'll be back later if I need tinting, stereo or other car related mod for sure. read more

They did a great job and offer the best in tinting materials.

So as I wrote earlier I had Ken install some HIDs that I bought elsewhere, well they sucked, massively. Flickering and misfire galore. I came back to Ken and bought a pair of digital canbus hids. He installed them perfectly, low profile. The lights work great, 6k and bright. Lights up the road with no issues, no flickering and no misfire plus backed by his guarantee. Ken is now my go to guy. I definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for some great service on your ride. read more

Taste: n/a Value:5 Cleanliness: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Wait time:5 Overall:5 1 being the worst, and 5 being the best I love this place, Ken and Kim are the nicest people like others have said. I brought one of my cars here to get a indash installed, I have a few problems with missing parts as I bought it refurbished, and also me leaving some of them at home. They were very patient with me and even tho it was my fault a few times, they were nice and accommodating about it. They just moved in to a new shop across the street from the old location, and it is plenty big. They have a audio wall as well as some rims for sale, they carry batteries as well. They do: Alarms Rims Wheels Tints Navigation stereo installs, They have wifi which is a plus, you can do work while they are working or just be a facebook whore,( you know who you are) while waiting. I took my other car here and will be bringing all my cars here. This is a very professional place, with that nice family business feel. Cant go wrong with that read more

While I didn't buy anything, went by to ask a few questions and they were very helpful! I ended up fixing my issue due in part to the advice given! I'll def be stopping by again soon to have some tint and more audio work done! read more

I was hesitant at first to take my car in to have a shop work on my Mini Cooper S audio system (having static and buzzing sound) but Ken and Noel were great to work with. They took care of the static and buzzing sound. They were extra careful and were great at communicating what the work would entail which I appreciate because it can feel that certain shops keep adding to the job without telling you until it's time to pay. I can tell by their work they take great care of the cars that come in. They definitely are worth going with. read more

Got my tint done about a year ago. I can see the difference in the product, they use Jhonson film. I only had 3 hours to get the job done Ken offered to bring the car to me after work if he wasn't able to finish within those three hours. it was done in about 2 and half hours. just bought a new car yesterday will be taking it in on Wednesday to get it to tinted. Lifetime warranty, great work, quality product, fair price. read more

Very professional, knowledgable, great customer service!! Thanks Ken for the awesome tint job on my Honda Fit!! I will definitely be back...

I don't know about their tinting operation, but forget about servicing Vioer/Alarm issues. I had a problem with the SmartFence performance. Upon contacting Vioer, I was directed by Vioer to this dealership. I spoke with Ken , "The Owner" (he made sure I got it). I told him about my email communication with Vioer and my failure to solve the problem. He was very non-cooperative, telling me that he can't help me on the phone, that I need to come for a diagnostics-that will cost money, that they are "very busy", and that maybe I should "try another Viper dealership of the many in the Bay Area". I would suggest to anybody to "try another Viper dealership of the many in the Bay Area" before this one. Please stay safe and healthy. read more

CK Auto Image is the only place that my husband and I trust for sound work and tint! We've had them build a custom sound box/display for a show car, install an aftermarket front camera, fix some sound system issues, and tint our car. They always do a great job. We are so thankful to have found an honest and reliable shop that has competitive pricing and friendly staff. They are well informed about the items that they are selling, and can answer practically any questions you can throw at them about tint options and colors. Thanks CK Auto Image!! read more

I strongly recommend this place and Ken, the owner of CK Auto Image. His work ethics, attention to detail, and caring customers are top notched. I recently installed a dash cam (Blackvue DR900 2ch) at my Audi's A8 model. He responded with the most reasonable quote and he also delivered the work on time and with clean finishes. Also after the installation, he and his team spotted a point where a small rattling noise and fixed it. Spotting a root cause of where noise with a small dash and fuse box components is really tricky and the ceaseless efforts he's shown was amazing. I will 100% come back to this shop for any auto work. He earned the trust I can ask my precious vehicle read more

Ck image is fantastic they did an awesome job on my BMW and the price was affordable if I ever need tinting or a sound system put in I will definitely come back here thanks ck image read more

Having recently purchased a new vehicle, I was skeptical in going to any place I didn't know personally. After being referred to CK Auto Image and dealing w/them I couldn't be more pleased. I arrived to a clean shop after making an appt., was given a polite and courteous welcome by the gal at the front desk. After going over a couple of tint options and making my choice, I was given an estimated time of completion (which was almost spot on). After the job was done I had the pleasure of dealing w/Ken who quoted me a few prices on a potential sound system upgrade. He offered alternative cost options at my direction and was helpful and genuine, his responses were handled in a respectful and considerate manner. Prompt, professional w/an amicable spirit of friendliness and very competitive pricing. What more could you ask for? (short of a free tint job) I was so impressed that they'll soon be doing a tint job on my other car. NOTE: They have a mini arcade machine which has a lot of games including Street Fighter, certainly a plus - sure made the wait time fly by as I was battling Bison! read more

CK Auto image hooked up my brand new Accord. I went in initially to get my tints done & they were super helpful with informing me of the differences between shades & brands.

I also got the inside of my door handles covered. They're really knowledgeable & pay attention to detail! Great customer service, I'll for sure be going back if I need any more work done! read more
