Benson and Bernard from MOBILE AUDIO  are out fitting the vans at Steve's Plumbing. Thank you for all of your help
Shaun B.

I would like to say thank you for the quick and efficient job being performed by Benson and Bernard! Since they have started the outfitting of the shelves they have been killing it on a daily. Getting theses trucks ready to hit the streets! If you guys need specific work done, let them take care of your audio out fitting for your vehicle!!! Great job guys!! Thank you very much!!

**If you're reading this review, stop scrolling and just call Benson already. Seriously.** Let me paint you a picture: I drive a 1999 Daihatsu Mira Gino--aka a rolling piece of JDM charm with the acoustic performance of a tin can in a wind tunnel. I thought I could handle upgrading my speakers, slapping on some sound deadening (or is it dampening? Is this car audio or an emotional support group?), and installing an ALPINE CASSETTE DECK. Yeah, you read that right--vintage audio cassette flex. They don't make 'em like that anymore... because they literally don't make them anymore. But then came the reality check: me, crouched in my garage, covered in speaker wire and existential regret, realizing I had no clue what I was doing. Enter **Benson**, a man whose patience, skill, and Jedi-level precision turned my audio disaster into a symphony on wheels. Not only did he fix my screw-ups without judgment (seriously, I think he deserves a medal just for that), but he made custom adjustments to my door panels, like some kind of fiberglass whisperer. Oh--and just for fun, he fixed my tachometer gauge, because apparently he's also a wizard. He showed up ON TIME (already rare in this industry), was incredibly kind, respectful, and professional, and treated my car like it was his own. The install? F L A W L E S S I'm talking zero rattles, clean wiring, everything tucked in like a fancy audio burrito. There's a reason Benson has a perfect 5-star rating--and if Yelp allowed it, I'd slap on a sixth star, a gold trophy, and maybe a parade float in his honor. Bottom line: if you want quality work, from a genuinely good human being who knows car audio like the back of his torque wrench, Benson is your guy. I can't recommend him enough. P.S. If you're planning on installing your own gear first to "save money," let me stop you right there. Just... don't. Call Benson. Save yourself the headache and let a pro handle it. Trust me, your ears (and your car) will thank you.

I doesnt really like to take pics. So....this is it lol!

See all

Not sure what happened to my review so I'm doing it again…read more Went there today to install a reverse camera that came with our CarTablet. Q and his team were so accommodating and friendly. They had to extend one of the wires because it was short. They just have excellent customer service. I will recommend them to my friends and will be back in the future. Highly recommend them. Aloha.

Searched google and came across this place they where #1 on the google recommend audio shops, went down some with MJ super knowledgeable guy, he brought out all the equipment that would work for my truck for me to see, gave me a quote then left, called him up 20min later told him let's do it, to my surprise he said can you be her in 30min? I'm like I'm there, he squeezed me, then his team led by Jon went to work, later I hear this thumping and vocals coming from the work area and MJ goes that's your truck, my jaws dropped in excitement, I couldn't believe that was my truck and how good I sounded, mind you this is my first sound system so I didn't know what to expect and they didn't disappoint. On my drive home I couldn't stop smiling lol. MJ, Jon and his team are super cool, their work is professional I love how they routed all the amp wires it is so clean looking. I wish I could give them 10 stars. If you are looking for audio, security equipment and installation I highly recommend this place. Thank you MJ, Jon and your team for making this an unforgettable experience. Mahalo, Daryn

I'd trust this guy with my taxes, my car, and probably my will. A little much, sure, but it's rare…read moreyou walk into a shop and immediately feel like the goal isn't to sell you stuff, it's to make your car sound as good as it possibly can. I went in wanting new speakers on top of a sub. Bill talked me out of it. Said my base model speakers were good enough and that dropping another $500 to $2500 on new ones wouldn't make a real difference once the sub was in. A shop that talks you out of spending more money with them is a shop you trust with everything else they tell you. He backs it up with real knowledge too. Pulled up manuals, diagrams, walked me through the specs on my EV's system like it was second nature. I left knowing more about car audio than I ever expected to, and I walked out with a professionally installed subwoofer that sounds fcking incredible. Sherwin did a lot of the install work and was just as sharp. Careful, communicative, clearly takes pride in the work. At one point he found some moisture under my carpet completely unrelated to what he was working on, and instead of just closing it back up, he flagged it immediately with photos and video so I could get it looked at. I cannot believe how well this business is run. It's successful for a reason. If you're in Aiea and thinking about upgrading your sound, STOP LOOKING and go see Bill. Honest opinions, real expertise, and a car that sounds incredible.

Bill and his staff are very friendly, knowledgable, and efficient. From the moment I walked through…read morethe door, I was greeted with a friendly face and they were more than willing to help make a detailed plan for how I wanted to improve my audio system. I felt that they were extremely fair and honest when it came down to choosing components and helped put together something that was in my price range and never tried to upsell me or push me into something I wasn't comfortable in. Getting a work estimate was an incredibly easy process and they were able to get me into an appointment as quick as a few days. On the day of my install, the staff were quick to get me in and out and went into detail to reassure me of what was being installed. They were so gracious and they communicated well when my previously installed equipment (totally my fault) needed some TLC due to corrosion and a few missing parts. They took care of all the extra work and didn't charge me extra. Upon pickup I thought I would just be driving off with my newly upgraded set up but they spent the time having me sit in the car and play it out to make sure that I was 100% satisfied with the tuning and setup. They even removed the seat to further continue tuning the audio just to my liking. This is the type of service that sets these guys apart from so many others, they truly go above and beyond to make sure that you are satisfied and are happy with your purchase. I highly suggest visiting Progressive Auto Sounds to get any audio or security work done on your vehicle. I honestly wish that I've seen them years ago to get all this work done. I'm already looking forward to my next upgrade with you to further improve my daily drives to town in my STI. Thank you again!

I researched places to go and T&T had wonderful reviews, plus their Kaka'ako shop is convenient for drop off and pickup. I originally called after seeing their prices online, and the employee on the phone was very friendly and helpful talking me through the options, figuring out a price in advance and scheduling the appointment. I had to move it once, and that was a breeze too. On appointment day, they open the big door and you drive in. The associate at the counter had all the paperwork ready, a walk through of general condition is done, risks explained, and on I went about my day. It was finished way ahead of the quoted time, I picked it up and paid which was also easy. They do other types of service like exterior wraps, and interior covers, which we didn't use. All the care instructions are gone over; you can't use the windows for two days and it can take up to a month for it to all completely dry. Any issues that don't resolve within 30 days, you can bring it back for free to be corrected. I would definitely use them again, but hopefully this new tinting will last for the life of the car.

T&T Tinting Specialists - The tint really helps keep interior temperature several degrees cooler, and makes the outside colors pop.

What is the actual value of a Lifetime Warranty? A guarantee like this is only good if the company…read morethat offers it is still around years down the line when you need to make a claim, and no-one has been around longer than T&T. When the tint finally started peeling on my car that I had tinted by them when I bought it brand new 20 years ago, I wondered how easy it would be to have it replaced under warranty. As it turns out, T&T makes it extremely easy. The original location I had the car tinted at was in Salt Lake, and it was so long ago it is no longer there. What used to be a Costco is now a Target. So I went to the airport location where I've already had them do two other cars for me since. I figured I'd drop by with the car and have them take a look at it. It didn't take long to book an appointment to bring the car back, and I was happy to hear that they wanted to replace the tint on the entire car even though it had failed on just one side window and the rear. With recent changes to vehicle tinting laws here in Hawaii this year, I was also happy to learn that they offered an option to go darker in the rear of the vehicle for a small reasonable upcharge. I took advantage of that and the opportunity to do the front windshield with their clear Air 80 film, something that wasn't offered back then when I had the car originally done, but I've had installed on my other cars since and really appreciate. A week later I brought the car back in and they had the job done in a few hours. The installers were meticulous and everything was done perfectly. They took particular care to take their time with peeling the rear window tint off and not damage the defroster lines. My car looks fantastic and driving the car with the windshield tint now is great. The story doesn't end here though because on a whim I asked about my girlfriend's car which we had purchased on the used market, and noticed that had also been tinted by T&T by the owner back in 2010 but had begun to fail. No problem, even though we were second owners, T&T came through and booked us an appointment to replace the entire tint on that car too! I took the opportunity to upgrade the rear tint on that vehicle as well and a few weeks later we were back and they did the same fantastic job for us on that car as well. Both cars now have brand new tint jobs, and Lifetime Warranties still intact for the future. Your staff here at T&T from the front office to installers are all fantastic and took such good care of us, and I'm sure will be the reason why you'll be around for the next 20 years or more. Thank you for everything!
