    They hard wired my radar in my Mercedes S63. "Catch Me If You Can"
    Troy S.

    I have been around Austin 54 years. Every time I go into the burnet rd store, which it has been 10 times. They have ALWAYS been professional, and met my needs. Dustin, Thanks....

    the management will likely rip you off and the installation is horrible!! if you are even considering going here -- just try and find the owner's contact info. they have desperately tried to conceal the owner likely because there must be so many lawsuits!! the travis county appraisal district has albar properties (alden smith) as the owner at po box 5981, austin 78763-5981 (503 industrial blvd, austin 78745) - good luck with that address! i waited in line while other customers in front of me were complaining with similar problems - that their new car systems stopped working the same day they were installed and the installation was crooked and stuck out or pushed into far - plus they exposed wiring. save yourself a whole lot of frustration and eventually a lawsuit - you can't find the owner to sue him!!! do not go here!! this store must be totally crooked - is it a shell for a different business -- how else is this place still open??? a bunch of goons, both the local manager and elliot, the total creep manager from st. louis!!

    The team at Custom Sounds did a awesome job tinting my 1981 Jeep CJ7. The prince was the best in town and even came with a lifetime warranty. Thanks again Custom Sounds!!!

    ***BUYER BEWARE*** I had been shopping around for about 2 weeks and decided to finally tint my windows. I was quoted $99.00 online from custom sounds and tint at the 8241 Burnet Rd location. When I arrive for my appointment at 10am there was a line and the guy working the front was down talking his techs saying they called in and he is all about punctuality. We discuss my price he immediately tells me he doe not mess around with the cheap tint I was quoted and I need to switch to metal or ceramic tint. I decided to go with metal. I left the car there and receive a call around 4pm saying the car was donr, however they did not tint the back windshield because he doesn't have tint that length and did not want to cut it and overlap. He said he would deduct it from the price. I pick up my car and it looks like snot has been blown on either side of the car. Side windows tinted rear appeared untouched. Upon inspection I see bubbles on the tint. He assured me thats normal and should go away within 2 weeks. Bubbles are still there and have gotten worse over a period of 3 weeks. Scratches all over passenger rear quarter panel and some nasty greenish yellow fluid all over both doors. Charged me over $190 for coupe back windshield you guessed it untouched. No there was no previous tint on vehicle. who in the hell only tints side windows!? It was a scam to get me I'm the door and the less than professional installers don't give a shit about your vehicle. Take at your own risk

    My new Kenwood!  Great installation, these guys are the best!

    I had a top of the line Kenwood Stereo System installed in my truck at Custom Sounds on Research (Austin), and after such great service I just have to follow up with a few comments. Daniel, the Store Manager is a throw back to the days when service and pride in workmanship meant something. And since I am an "old school" guy, I just have to tell you Daniel and his crew are amazing. Super nice. Super professional. Super efficient! I can't recommend them enough. Thank you Custom Sounds!

    The grill fits the box over the sub, and clears. Guaranteeing that the box has enough clearance after all.

My service was free because of the warranty! And it was very fast. I showed up at 8 AM on a Monday (made an appointment in person on the previous Saturday because I wanted them to take a look at my tint's condition), and they replaced the tint on the front windshield and passenger side window and was done by 11 AM that day.

The other week, I was driving down 183 on my way to work and there was some unknown traffic blocking my way, so in an effort to avoid the brunt of it I took the Duval exit. Lo and behold I was still late to work, but it was all worth it because I noticed this little gem of a shop. I called them and got scheduled for the next week. I got to the shop first thing in the morning, and just before the shop closed I had basically a brand new car! It did take the whole day and was a little pricey, but the kind souls there hit me with a little discount. It was so worth it! I can finally see out of my windows, the tint is so smooth and makes the 20 year old car feel brand new. I got the regulation grade on the front two windows and a medium tint on the rest. I went with the less heat blocking tint because it was a cheaper deal, but the application was so good it's still blocking sun. I would highly recommend getting your tint done here!

    Here's a very authentic review for Tint World off Burnet. Mind you, I dealt directly with the owner…read moreNadeem. I had previously went to another store to see if the work I wanted done on my Tundra was possible. After finding out a few unrelated stores couldn't do the work I came across Tint World. I went through the same process of coming by with my truck and explaining what I wanted done to make sure it was possible. I met Nadeem and told him I wanted star lights and ambient lighting throughout. He looked at my truck and assured me it could be done and that it would take "two days." He quoted me $2200 and I agreed that was a fare price and I'd come back after the weekend to leave him the vehicle. I dropped my truck off on Monday morning. I reached out towards the end of the business day for an update and had no response. The following day Tuesday Nadeem told me it may take an extra day and that they were working through some issues. I told him that was fine and to just keep me informed. At the end of Tuesday Nadeem had messaged me and apologized that he didn't realize the material on the moon roof which is about 80% of the headliner space with these panoramic moon roofs wasn't possible to achieve the starlight feature. He said he added them on the perimeter. This was done before asking for approval after he knew what I wanted at the beginning. He told me to rush over that evening because the truck was now complete. I hurried over from Round Rock only to find a numerous amount of concerns. This was far from a "white glove experience." The headliner fabric had obvious tears that needed to be addressed, a number of stars not completely penetrated, the shooting star feature which he sold me on was non existent. He later admitted they installed it incorrectly for that to work. The lights were functional through Bluetooth but the music feature for the lights did not work. The ambient lighting wasn't symmetrical in the front of the vehicle and was cut short and uneven. It was also Bluetooth functioned. When the ambient lighting music feature was used it caused my music to cut in and out on the stereo. Nadeem explained after the fact that both the star light Bluetooth and ambient light Bluetooth would cause music cut out because it can't work simultaneously with musics Bluetooth. Wow. This would have been great to be updated on before installation. I cannot use these features I've now paid for simultaneously with my music. Multiple door pieces and the trim over the odometer were missing stock clips to keep them tight and connected. He had an employee who also works for Toyota "come up" with those pieces to later reattach my vehicle. I explained to Nadeem how this experience felt and he just blankly stared at me with little to no response. He accepted fault and offered me $100 dollars off. At checkout the price went from 2200 to 2500 because he forgot to mention taxes. I told him in the future when quoting a customer he should give them the "out of door" price because taxes on 2200 is game changing. He didn't have anything to say. As I was leaving he offered a window tint. I told him my windows were already tinted and he told me he could match the back windows with the front. I agreed. When I got home I noticed the ambient lighting on the doors doesn't automatically turn off with the car. They stay on in the front and turn off in the back. I called Nadeem and he told me the doors hold reserve power and that I would have to manually turn them off each time when I turn my car off. Nadeem had one of his employees call me to come back in after taking my car back to fix some of the issues. He wasn't there when I arrived to make sure things were fixed. My headliner lights and visor lights were no longer working after the new installation of ambient lights. My music still skipped and wouldn't play from the starlight app, and Nadeem wouldn't respond to my messages. His employee kept saying Nadeem is the only one. He clearly ran away from providing any type of customer care. I was shown text messages that nothing further would be fixed and that I'm no longer welcome for service. Nadeem cuts corners and doesn't take responsibility for his mistakes. I have the texts to prove it. I warn anybody who has any plans to service their vehicle here. At this point with the price I paid I was completely frustrated. He told me he would give me my money back but to never step foot in his store. I felt like this response was completely unnecessary. I don't need my money back I just want the things I paid for to work and meet expectation. I don't usually write reviews but I felt this was necessary. I made the mistake of adding after market features to my tundra with less than 1000 miles. Shame on me. However, as a business it's upsetting to know owners don't go above and beyond to make things right.
