    Will D.

    My 2013 Tahoe had busted speakers, no rear backup camera, no console screen, and no bluetooth. Instead of buying a new car, I took it to Houston Car Stereo and now it feels like I'm driving a brand new Tahoe. There were challenges we ran into with my amplifier (static still coming from the speakers after replacement), and Mohamed's team went the extra mile to re-wire the entire amp in order to create a clean and clear sound. Now the sound is perfect! The value I got out of HCS's work product far exceeded the price I paid. I would recommend them to all of my family and friends for their exceptional service and quality. Thank you Mohamed!

    New touch screen for my Lexus
    Marty W.

    A+ for competence, persistence and fair price on an usual customer request to install a touch screen and Apple Play in my 2019 Lexus ES 300H. Rami and his team spent many more hours on this project than the company had indicated would be necessary. Rami kept telling me they would make it right or take it out and re-install the factory screen/radio at no additional cost. The product came from a Denver company (Merge Screen: hint, do not buy from them!) that ended up being totally unhelpful despite Houston Car Stereo reaching out to them dozens of times. Eventually another similar company based in Philadelphia was able to provide installation advice on a nagging detail of the process. Since the original Lexus screen was not a touch screen and instead had a ridiculous touch pad, I was eager to replace it with a touch screen. There are a several functions that require the factory install, such as re-setting the digital clock for daylight savings time, so there had to be a way to toggle between the factory screen and the touch screen. This ended up being a job that took several weeks but Rami and AJ kept at it. I was always treated with respect and welcomed back even though I had given them the project from hell! I appreciate the extra effort, improvisation, many additional hours of labor and no upcharge and am very happy with my new touch screen and Car Play.

    After moving to Houston, I quickly realized that finding people who truly take pride in their work…read morecan be a challenge. Perhaps it's a generational shift, but after dealing with various contractors, lawn services, restaurants and repair shops, many businesses do the absolute minimum, just enough not get fired. However, Manny at NTouch Autotint & Accent is a breath of fresh air. He is a true professional who delivers high-quality work in a timely manner. While his excellent rating drew me in, but what really impressed me was how gracefully he handled the only two low reviews he's received which told me everything I needed to know about his character. My wife and I are thrilled with the work he performed on her vehicle. If you want someone you can trust with your car, someone who actually cares about the quality of their work, Manny is the person to call. Thank you, Manny--please keep up the exceptional work. You've earned a customer for life.

I pulled on it and it was locked. I looked to see an "open" sign or light or anything and pulled again. I started to walk back to my car and the door opens and he looks at me and says "why did you pull on my door like that?". I said "I have an appointment". He said "you did not have to pull on my door like that". No "good morning" no "thank you for coming to get work done" just straight confrontation. I just flashed a peace sign and said "have a good day man". I own my own company and I can tell you how I treat my customers matters. I dont know if he did not want to do the work or what but I am just left scratching my head. maybe I am an isolated incident but just so you know.

There's not much room in the waiting area to hang out for 2.5 hrs like we did but thankfully, I love my husband and we just chatted it up while waiting. They did quote us for the accurate time the car was finished (Toyota 4runner). Service was impeccable. They were very honest with expectations. If you need tint, come here. You won't be disappointed. And if you don't wanna wait inside, walk 5min down the road and grab some viet-cajun crawfish at South x Saigon. Will recommend this place to everyone I know.

    I needed a very basic car alarm/remote entry system for a 20-yr old car that I had recently bought…read moreso I decided to swing by Ultimate Protection and Sound to see what they had to offer. I had stopped by here almost two years ago when I was shopping around for a car tint (I decided to go somewhere else because I didn't want to go with llumar) but I remember having a good experience here because Corey (the owner - the person that I had talked to the first time around, and again this time around) didn't do any hard sell. I asked him questions, he answered them and gave me prices which I thought were reasonable. Like I said, this time around I wanted a basic security system with no fancy features like paging or a remote with a fancy screen. Corey showed me three different systems with similar features but different brands (Avital and Viper, both under the DEI company; and Prestige). I decided to go with the Prestige brand because this was the second most affordable system (by only $10) but it had, what in my opinion, the coolest looking remote. Corey told me that it would take about 1.5 hours for the install but I wasn't too worried about that because I don't live too far from here. I told him to just give me a call when the car's done and I'd come pick it up. The actual time it took until I received the phone call was 2.5 hours which was an hour longer than expected. However, like I mentioned, I wasn't concerned about it since I was chilling at home binging on Frasier anyway. Once Corey called me to tell me that my car was ready, I went back to pick it up. After I had paid for the system, Corey walked outside to my car with me and showed me the basic features of the system that had just been installed. However, since it was a pretty basic system, there wasn't really anything much to show. I'm probably just going to go through the manual to see if there's any additional features that the system offers. Anyway, I recommend this place if you need a security system. It's true what others had said, they don't have a million different products in the store, but what they do offer, Corey will stand behind those products. Also, prices are competitive. At the very least, drop in to see what they have to offer since Corey won't push you for a sale anyway. What do you have to lose?

    Houston - PPF - Paint Protection

    Houston - PPF

    (12 reviews)

    Looking for window tinting or PPF (paint protection film for the noobies, it protects your car's…read morepaint from little pebbles, bird poop, etc.)? This humble shop has got you literally covered! They have different colors of PPF wraps (so you can change the color of your car too instead of a clear film!) including matte colors. Our friends went to other places and had their taillights broken, decals placed out of alignment, and suffered through some other headaches. Although those are usually relatively easily fixable, I expect a higher quality job after dishing out $$ for PPF services. We've had a couple of cars worked on over the years, and compared to some other more popular places that churn out their numbers, the William, Josue, and their team at Houston PPF do a great job and are more responsible in terms of fixing anything (even tiny bubbles) that you're unhappy with without question. I got my own car covered with PPF + tinted windows more than a year ago and I'm super happy with the job! There were some tiny bubbles on pickup but after the car baked in the sun for a week, they resolved. I also noticed a few tiny spots that could be improved where the PPF wasn't sticking so well, and they redid it with smiles and professionalism. Awesome! You can bring your entire car or just parts (diffusers, spoilers, etc) to get protected. Just to note-- emails aren't their thing-- they are more responsive to instagram messages! And if you have a lower car, watch out when turning into their slightly angled driveway! The team there is awesome! Really respect them for their work ethic and quality work. We will continue to use them for PPF needs. Check them out! :)

    When my buddy (car enthusiast) told me to come to Houston PPF to get window tint done on my Tesla…read moreModel 3, I did not hesitate. Made an appointment with Josue for a Thursday 10am drop off time. I drove 4 hours from Dallas and so glad I did. He looked over my car and carefully explained to me his process. I could tell he knew what he was doing. As he answered my questions regarding the installation procedure and the quality of the tint. And also the legal issue with law enforcement and how it can enhance the look of my car. But most importantly, the health benefit of not being exposed to UV lights on my skin. I went and ate lunch. It took him about 5 hours to complete the job. Very understandable, as the Model 3 got a glass roof. I didn't said anything, but he is such a perfectionist, that he knock off a few bucks for taking too long. Who does this?!? Most guys want to take money away from me and here is Josue giving me a discount. That is the character of this business owner. The car turned out awesome. When driving back to Dallas (3pm), I could feel the car being cooler. I only wished I got my PPF done here too. But driving on the highway from Dallas to Houston would be too much of a risk for rock and shit to hit my car. Which would have happened as there were constructions everywhere. If you need PPF or window tint, I would highly recommend Houston PPF and Josue.
