BUYER BEWARE: Although Al is a polite person, whether he was not skilled enough to handle this job properly, or simply not attentive, or lazy, or rushed with other projects, or a combination of these things ... the job was a failure, and I was left to deal with the consequences of a job poorly done from beginning to end (a ridiculously long 5+ weeks). I brought my truck to Al to install new door/dash speakers, a box with subs, and amps that I had purchased. The previous owner left the vehicle in a state that need attention to the audio. He assured me this was a job he was very familiar with, and that he had worked with the make and model before with very satisfied customers. Being his reviews (though few) seemed relatively positive, and his quote was very fair, I took a chance and gave him the work. This turned out to be a mistake. Like I said, I wanted a full speaker swap, sub install, and additionally I asked him to attend to (clean up as best he could) a sticky oil-based sound dampening substance that a previous owner had put all over the interior of the doors/panels, and was now dripping messily on hot days. When I left the truck in his care these were the ONLY issues to resolve. Over the span of 5+ weeks (an amount of time that makes NO SENSE for standard audio installation) he explained that I'd need more new hardware, all new wiring, and more. At this point I should have stopped and gotten a second opinion elsewhere. To be honest I should have stopped the project many times, because of many red flags along the way and his constant excuses for incomplete work. For that ignorance I blame myself. Nevertheless, even more hardware was purchased and "installed", and after many excuses that he "wanted the job done perfect", I finally got the truck back with countless problems. The sticky black substance I asked him to clean up was everywhere (all over my interior surfaces, exterior paint, glass, bed cover, everywhere... much worse than before), my backup camera didnt work, both of my accessory video screens didnt work, my steering wheel controls didnt work (yes, I bought the proper harness, he did not install correctly), my engine tuner had been disabled and wouldnt power on, the bass remote to the sub amp wasnt functioning, the was a .5" mistake in space for my windows to go down all the way safely, door speakers were installed without all screws, the factory doorsill lights wouldn't power on, bluetooth/carplay wouldnt enable, interior plastics were loose or broken in several places from rough handling, he scratched my exterior paint, he also scratched my bumper and taillight (from moving the truck around carelessly, he attempted to touch up), he did not mount the two amps (they were simply sliding around), the interior was covered in wire clippings from his work done without any clean up/vacuuming, there were now bugs all over the truck, and my gas light was on empty. Honestly ... im probably forgetting things done incorrectly or questionably. Thats how much nonsense I was left to resolve after buying and entire truck of new hardware and paying labor, which now feels completely absurd. At one point to check on the progress of the truck, I even showed up to his shop and Al was sitting in the removed passenger seat of my car, like a chair, that was on his workshop floor while he was working on another project. It had been removed because of work needed, but was now a shop chair? What he did in that much time with my truck i'll never know. I realize it takes time to rewire and install hardware, I realize that cleaning up a sticky material is tricky, that problems arise and need addressing. But in this much time, for this much money, I should have gotten back a perfect job, cleanly installed, without a single issue. There is no excuse, i'm sorry, this is just the truth, nice guy or not. I feel taken advantage of financially, and rightfully so. I addressed all these things with him, and asked for half my labor cost refunded. He would not acknowledge the issues were his fault, made more excuses, and would not agree to any compromise in cost after this failure. Mind you, I'm not even including the hardship of not having a primary vehicle for way over a month... I took it to another professional shop where in 72hrs the entire job was done correctly, everything resolved, and I had to pay even more money obviously. Summary: He did not come close to performing the full job quoted professionally or adequately. His business ethics may be questionable, and he handled my vehicle in a way that left it in a worse state than when it was dropped off. He had no explanation for why so many issues were unresolved when the vehicle was in his possession for an extreme length of time, and damaged it while he did. I would not recommend you come here unless you want to pay more later to undo/fix what he cannot. read more

Al is the owner worker. As a female I had a friend pre-screen this location and I should have listened. Am is a crock and a liar. He was only supposed to fix a door actuator and I also included a radio. My car sat in his lot for 5 days. The door was never fixed and he kept on telling me the part I had to get myself. I just didn't have the time to do so I'll admit but when a ahoo accepts a job they should take the time for customer service. I finally went to get my car 5 days later with a radio installed but door not planed back to normal. I am a business lady with limited time. I did pass by 5 days later when I was in area and he completely mistreated me. His book keeping is not accurate as he refused to provide me with an update receipt. I also offered to pay him to reconnect my door and he refused and confined screaming at me. I decided to walk out and post this review instead. Buyer beware. I asked if my radio had a warranty and he said yes. I asked if labor and he said yes but my radio is very staticy. When I asked him to check it make sure it was connected to antenna he started screaming again. Buyer beware here and IRS, check his books. I would give him no stars but this app requires me to do so. read more

I brought my dodge charger to get my fog lights fixed on Saturday . The shop requested a $50 deposit cash which he stated is refundable if merchandise isn't delivered in a timely manner. I paid it no problem - when asked for a receipt he told me they ran out. i was promised to have the lights the next day. I went back to get the lights and still nothing. The shop called my me earlier today and said he would have them by noon i got off work at 5pm and headed straight over. I arrived around 515 and they said it would be there about 30 mins late- delivery was late. Over an hour later they told me to go home and come back tomorrow, I respectfully advised I just wanted my deposit back and I did not want to wait any longer. The owner became very hostile stating he wasn't giving my money back. His son and sons male lover driving a black Dodge Challenger then came out threatening to fight me. I asked again to get my money back. They all became very hostile again and told me to take his ass to court as it is a civil matter and then stated that everyone else he refused to give deposits back to weren't man/woman enough to take him to court or report to proper authority. As we were arguing I advised I would call the authorities and all they did was roll a blunt while saying "call them what can they do" and the owner was bragging they sell marijuana out of their business and the authorities aren't smart enough to catch on. I then said "that's fine I am calling Hollywood PD." As I was calling the police, the owner yelled to his sons male lover to "get rid of the stuff!" At that time the owners very young girlfriend drove up in a blue Hyundai and cops arrived. WORSE EXPERIENCE EVER!!!! This will be reported to the Better Business Bureau and Hollywood FL Code Enforcement & Mercantile License Department! If anyone else has a similar experience- report it! That's the only way we will get rid of business owners like this who scam hard working people!!! I've heard the owners of this shop have rented the orange charger & orange challenger & yellow Ferrari & silver/blue Rolls Royce & black Audi R8 convertible on their page claiming they did business with them but did not!! The black hummer and rolls Royce was not even at their location when picture was taken- if you look closely the cars are in traffic. Shop is: Exotic Auto Toyz 410 N State Rd 7 Hollywood FL 33021 Call back# 954-399-3227 They share the same building with Mr O's Tires!! This makes Mr O's Tires look bad as well claiming they are one business but are separate companies read more

I dropped my car off for tints and was told it would take 1-1.5 hour. 2 hours later I called in to have the counter boy answering the phone saying "his tinter just left and had an emergency" okay? So my car is done, half done? It's been 2 hours? No it wasn't even started yet. But he failed to call me an hour or two ago?? Thank you. Al the owner seemed very nice when I called ahead, the guy at the desk when I picked up my unfinished car was nice, too bad there is a tinter who apparently does not give a shit about his job. read more
