    They did a great job finishing up an install I was trying to do myself. I was very happy.

    Why would I ship to their shop?

    Do not go here. They will use your credit card information for purchases years later. I got tint for one of my vehicles at this location back in 2017. 4 years later, I see an unauthorized purchase from Walmart with $89 Spot and Stain Cleaner being shipped under my name to this very shop without my consent. They also ordered q-tips, lacroix 24pack, and apple juice. I've included a picture showing these items being shipped to their address for proof. Go ahead and compare their address with the one listed in the picture. Scumbags. They are scummy business owners who don't even do tint jobs professionally and keep your information apparently.

I chose this shop because the Yelp reviews mentioned honest staff and fair pricing, but my experience didn't match what I expected. The staff was nice, but the process didn't feel transparent. I originally went in on Saturday just to get quoted for replacing the four door speakers. During the quote, Mike suggested I also get a box and an amplifier to "get the proper sound," which increased the total price. I told him I wasn't getting any work done that day and planned to come back Sunday for the actual appointment. Even so, Mike told me I needed to pay the full price upfront on Saturday. I questioned why I should pay for a service I wasn't receiving that day, and instead of adjusting anything, I was told I needed to leave a deposit, half of the full quote, which was over $1,800. When I came back on Sunday, I only had time to replace the four door speakers and skipped the box and amplifier. I asked if I needed a new quote since the job was now much smaller, and was told no, I was good to go. For context, the speakers installed cost about $130-$150 per pair, and the mechanic finished the work in about an hour. (Huge thank you to him, he did excellent work.) Overall, the customer service was friendly, but being asked to pay full price the day before my actual appointment and not being re‑quoted when I reduced the job didn't match the "honest and fair" experience I expected based on other reviews. Bummer, now it's back to square one

    Mike is fantastic to work with. I first brought in my Tundra to upgrade the weak JBL system. I told…read morehim it had no bass and wasn't loud enough, even at full volume. He recommended an amp and subwoofer to get the sound I wanted but also mentioned that I might eventually want a new head unit and speakers. Since I wanted to keep my factory head unit for its remote start and tracking features, he didn't push me to change it--just gave his honest opinion and did exactly what I asked. The result was perfect. A couple of years later, I wanted some minor tuning adjustments. I stopped by to ask what I needed, and Mike not only handled the adjustments but also updated the amp's firmware. I expected to pay for the service, but he did it for free--just part of his commitment to great customer service. Now, five years later, my system still sounds great, but I'm having issues with the factory head unit. I asked Mike about a replacement I was considering, and instead of just agreeing, he asked what I really wanted. Within minutes, he showed me a better option--$600 cheaper than the one I was looking at. After researching it myself, I realized he was absolutely right, so I scheduled the upgrade with him. Mike is knowledgeable, honest, and never pushy. If you need car audio work, this is the place to go--hands down.

We came here from 2 separate recommendations from my sister and nephew , they both had their tints here and mentioned their price was fair and their tints looked great and were happy with the results. Lo and behold the price that was quoted over the phone were incorrect, here we stood at the front desk and we were up charge by $80 . We did questioned the price difference the gentleman said, it's not included with the front windshield . ( my gripe here is trained the staff, especially who ever answered the phones to be transparent with pricing.) As we waited I over heard the conversation with an employee and another customer, the $80 windshield is not included in their $150 quote , customer stated he knew the price quoted is minus the windshield price . ( then I questioned my husband's hearing or their miscommunications over the phone ) Besides that the gentleman at the desk was helpful in guiding us with making decisions on the different shade of tint for our car . We initially came in for 70% ceramic tint, the gentleman explained it wouldn't make any difference from what we already have. He recommended going with 20% or 35% since we didn't want the windows to be super dark . We were indecisive and after taking the samples outside to compare in front of our car windows , it was clear the gentleman was absolutely right. We went ahead with his recommendation and purchased a 35% grade, Not too dark and not too light . shade . Wait time is anywhere from 1-2 hours , we sat in the waiting room with a movie on screen lounging on the leather recliner seat sofa . We asked if he honored any discounts for referrals , he gave us a $10 discount with no sales tax . As we drove a few blocks home we noticed there were black speck or glue marks on the windshield . We turned around to have the matter looked over, the same gentleman we dealt with apologized for the black speck , as soon as one of the employee finished working on an existing car we would be next. Less than 35 minutes our windshield was fixed .

I informed the owner of the poor job that was done and he said he would replace the parts that were damaged. He looked me in my eye and told me he would make it right. He in fact has not and I've found the damage to be more severe than originally stated. The young men doing the tinting are so quick, they just want the job done. The whole bottom left side of my passenger door is cracked in between the clips. So instead of taking a moment and using proper tools to remove the part, they just ripped at it and cracked the whole thing. Not to mention the greasy hand prints I had to get out of the handles and upholstery. I'm most upset that there is no apology and no replacement parts. Saving a couple bucks costs more than you know.

I worked primarily with Sammy, Joe and Kevin - all of whom were great. I had a flip down overhead DVD installed here along with the installation of an in dash DVD unit. This was a fairly complicated install as I wanted two way communication between the in dash and overhead units. I also had steering wheel controls, Bluetooth and additional USB/Auxillary inputs installed. This required some modification of the wiring as the in dash unit was one removed from my previous vehicle and had different inputs than the output on the overhead unit and the addition of aux inputs to my dash. After the install I noticed some features that weren't working quite to my liking which I pointed out and they quickly remedied the same day. Two days after install I noticed the retractable in-dash cup holder below the new head unit wouldn't stay retracted in the dash - I took the car back they immediately had it in a bay, tore the whole dash apart again and had it fixed within an hour. Currently everything works great and I couldn't be happier. Thank you California Sound for a Job Well Done!

    I came in to get window tint and interior cameras installed in my truck and car. I was originally…read morequoted $1,200 for both vehicles, and I was told the cameras were $600 each. However, when it was time to pay, the total suddenly jumped to $2,100, and the explanation I received was something about taxes, which didn't make sense based on the quote I was given. Because of that price jump, I decided to remove services and only move forward with tint on my truck and one camera instead of two. Based on the pricing that was explained to me, the total should have gone down significantly. Instead, I was still charged $1,500 for tint on one truck and one camera, which doesn't line up with the original quote or the pricing I was told. The issue here isn't the work itself it's the lack of transparency in pricing. Quotes should be clear and consistent so customers know exactly what they're agreeing to before work begins. At this point, I would really appreciate the business reviewing the invoice and providing clarification or adjusting the price to match what was originally quoted. I'm hoping we can resolve this directly.
