Mobile Toys Inc. is truly the best of the best. Their client base spans across the USA and into Mexico. I travel 3.5 hours from DFW which has no shortage of car audio, fabrication, and upholstery, off road performance upgrade shops. They do each better than anyone I've run across- and I've dealt with many shops over the years. The level of customer service absolutely professional and it's obvious they are there to support the clients needs beyond expectations. All while making you feel comfortable about the process and taking the time to understand your goals for the job. The execution is always a level above my expectations for the job! Theres many reasons why people travel so far to have the Mobile Toys team experience. The staff at the store has always been committed to customer service and problem solving better than anyone I've done business with in the past. When you first walk into the showroom they have a nice cafe type setup with tables and chairs and a TV, making any waiting time comfortable. There are multiple magazine articles, awards,photos and trophies showcasing national awards, installer of the year and retail store of the year awards and winning national car audio sound championship awards. I have had multiple jobs completed by the team which ranged from car audio installation, custom fabrication of speaker pods, suede wrapped interior upgrades and custom subwoofer, amplifier rack and custom design consultation to integrate the upgrades to blend with the vehicles color, texture and design. These guys aren't just car audio sales and installation- they add a creative artistic approach to every job they do, no matter how big or small. I gladly recommend these guys and am very thankful for the level of service they have provided me over the years as a client! read more

Drove from Houston to MTI about an 1hr and 30min. Came in for a custom box. Left with Radar and laser system and a custom enclosure. Total came out to around $5600. We set an appointment to get the radar system installed and was told the enclosure would be ready the day of the of the install. Arrived they next week excited to get these things in! Showed up an hour before opening. Once opened guy who was installing the radar system went outside and we reviewed where the Modules would go as desired. Came back in and drop off keys. Left and spent the day in College station waiting for closing time as they said everything would be done. 6pm came around and I arrived 30mins before. While I waited in the car for truck to be done. I saw the same guy who went over the installment of the radar dog my truck from the back of there shop to the parking lot as if it were his. I got out of the vehicle and asked the guy how did the truck run Lol. He disregarded and quickly walked inside. I walk inside to pay the remainder of the balance and while paying the I asked the guys in the front of my box was inside the truck. They replied with "it's not ready, we had to make another" like that wouldn't have been nice to know before driving an 1hr and a half and wasting an entire day there. As I go ahead and finish paying no one explained anything about how the radar worked. Didn't show me where they placed radar, wires or shifters. Only info I got was from the guy dogged the truck and said he turned up the detector and it was ready to go. I finish paying as these guy were anxiously just there waiting to leave and getting me over with. I leave, I noticed that the detector modules were placed somewhere other than the desired place of which we both agreed on. I turn on truck excited to get back home and away as it was very dark. I didn't have a chance to check placement of anything until I got home. I review all the work done and was disappointed to find out the whole radar system was placed improper, wires out in the open, shifters placed wrong and in the open. Control module placed in the wrong placed which I know a hole was made. Enclosure wasn't done to begin with and wasn't notified til literally last min. Sadly my money was spent at the wrong place. I have yet to finish paying partial for the enclosure but only because it was not done!! Definitely not the experience I had in mind. read more

I happened to be at Audio Video discussing a home setup and thought that I would pop inside of Mobile Toys as I just got a new Cadillac CTS and am looking to add more oomph to the stock system. I walked in, there is a display truck (without barriers) sitting in the middle of the showroom and I lightly touched it looking inside (there is a Do Not Touch sign in the bed of the truck that isn't noticeable). A salesperson walked in from the back rudely stating "don't touch that!". No introduction, no hello, no pleasant tone. He asked if he could help me with this scowl. I was in this store a total of about 10 seconds yet with that first impression, I simply turned and walked out. I may do business with Audio Video but the place next door certainly lost my business. You don't treat a prospective customer like that. I would rather have a reputable place in Houston have my business. read more

Took my car there to be tinted. The original tint job was fine, however after a few weeks there were still bubbles on the window so I asked to have it replaced. After picking up my car, there were a ton of scratches on the windows which were replaced. They denied that it happened within their shop, however they definitely occurred while my car was not in my possession. There was also damage located on the rubber seals on the window. I would not recommend coming here to get your car windows tinted and I would not trust them with your vehicle. There are more professional places around. read more

Seriously exceptional customer service. I needed tint on my car asap and they got me in in a few days. They were patient and super nice while I was figuring out CA/TX tint laws and trying to get the tint that worked for my situation. Then I came on the wrong day, and they still fit me in - all while being so incredibly kind. They did a great job. I would absolutely recommend them! Perfect example of how excellent customer service makes return customers. read more

Thanks to Adam who was professional, friendly, and accommodating when I spoke to him about tinting the windows in my car and fixing a botched installation that had been done on my radio and backup camera. He showed me the different tints and explained what is legal in TX. Thanks to Lance who did a beautiful job on the radio/camera. He was very patient when an issue with my car's convertible top made things much more difficult and time consuming than it needed to be. The bottom line is that the tint is perfect and looks great and the radio and backup camera work perfectly. Don't waste your time with others, just bring your car to Mobile Toys. I learned that the hard way read more

Too be honest, if it were possible I would give them NO STARS at all. - The Owner is extremely rude and unprofessional Over xmas break, my truck was broken into and the theives stole my receiver, sub and amp. Thankfully my insurance company covers that. I had to go through there select service clients, Mobile Toys being the only one here. The first go around, all they had to do was an estimate on the damage and items that were taken. A man named Chris was the one who "greeted" me and immediately began acting like I was wasting his time. It was as if he didn't want my business at all. That or he has no clue what business ethics and common courtesy is. I just thought, maybe he was having a bad day. No big deal. I had an appointment set up, but they denied it and said my insurance company never did even though I had email conformation from both parties. I had to wait an hour for something that takes 10 minutes to do. The second go around... Check this out... I didn't get any of my stereo equipment in that was ordered from my insurance company until Feb 7 (thursday).. I called reminding them who I was and told them my Insurance company has already given yall the payment info all I needed to do was set up an appointment. He said " Im sorry we are swamped until next week". So we set an appointment for Feburary 13 ( wednesday ) . I dont really understand what could be so hard and take so long about reconnecting the wires because everything was already there, and I had identical equipment to replace it. I showed up on Wednesday , Feb 13 to have my stereo installed. Not only was he super rude when he greeted me, yet again, he said I was wrong, that we had an appointment for the previous wednesday at 2pm. I said thats impossible I didnt have my stereo stuff in until that thursday and even showed him my call record on my phone when it was made. His response was, Youre wrong, I remember exactly what happened and it was set for last week. I asked him, so even if it wasset for last week, why wouldn't yall call and ask why i didn't show up or remind me about my appt? He said normally its the other way around. Then walked away. He didn't even ask to set another appointment!!!! STAY AWAY from this place. It sucks and the owner is a irresponsible, unethical jerk. read more

Chris and his team are top notch!! The shop is very impressive and their work is impeccable! I am such a fan of his truck, Lucy, and he is going to do my interior and I'm so very excited. Chris took his time explaining the process to us and answered any and all questions or concerns we had. Well worth the drive to College Station!! read more

After reading some of these reviews on here, I felt compelled to post my experience with Mobile Toys. I've been to MT several times over the course of the past 3 years for one reason: they know what they are doing. Having been to hundreds of different car audio shops over the course of about 6 years, I can say that Mobile Toys is one of the most professional, courteous, high quality shops in the state of Texas. There is no place in college station that even comes close to what these guys can do. Keep in mind: this is not some fly-by-night car stereo shop for people wanting to throw a bunch of nonsense audio equipment in their car, these guys are PROFESSIONAL audio installers. They go to competitions, are active on several renowned car audio internet sites, have real talent and skills, and strive to go the extra mile for their customers. In an industry that's been overrun with amateur dealers/installers and uninformed customers, these guys are patient, reasonable, understanding, and helpful above all else. Doubt their professionalism? From the minute you walk in, I encourage you to take 30 minutes to go over the finite details of one of the most intricate and impressive cars I've ever seen sitting right in their lobby. That car is a testament to the level of work these guys perform. Their work is nothing short of top-notch. Expensive? Yes. But when paying for custom install work, you get what you pay for. Enough babbling, onto my most recent experience: I was getting some custom A-pillar mounts built for my car. Having never fiber-glassed myself, I wanted to spend the money on a professional job that could be done in a reasonable amount of time. We set an appointment, I walked in and dropped off my car, and they were done within 6 hours. Their level of quality would have taken me weeks, maybe months to perfect the install. They were able to save me time, money, and headache. The job was worth every penny. When I saw the car, I was thrilled. My expectations were not just met, but far exceeded. Too late to make a long story short, but if you are serious about your car's audio system, these guys would love to help share their knowledge. Give them a chance, you won't regret it. -Ryan read more

I brought my vehicle into Mobile Toys a few months ago to get a system installed. They installed the system and it sounds great BUT I've now been dealing with nothing but non stop electrical issues. 3 months after installation the system stops working. I take it back and they tell me I need "this part" so I go and purchase it and bring it BACK a week later and I'm told that wasn't the issue? and I now need a whole new head unit... So they replace the head unit and system works again. ONE MONTH LATER my batteries are dead. Completely fried. So I replace the batteries (2 batteries in a diesel truck) and I'm still having the same issue. Now I'm having a check engine light come out and it turns out my PCM (Powertrain Control module) relay is fried. I take my truck to a local trusted shop which came to find out nothing is Wired correctly with the new head unit... they slapped it together just to get me out of the shop in a hurry. Great products but terrible work. read more

LED non-OEM headlight on my truck went out day before a long drive, and the lights were all installed after-market at a place in the northeast where I used to live. Brought it to these folks hoping to get it repaired before hitting the road. Appeared to just be some corrosion on a connection, so they cleaned it and had me on my way in less than 10 minutes...no charge! Told me they can hardwire it if it happens again, but will hopefully get me through for the time being. Totally could have talked me into a bigger job upfront if they wanted to and refused $ even though I offered twice. Between their honesty and good service with me, as well as the other reviews, I would definitely give these folks my business if I need more work done. read more

Mobile Toys exceeded my expectations! I called for appt late Friday and they made time to install receivers and speakers in 2 of my vehicles the next day. The staff was friendly, professional, and willing to answer all of my questions. The final bill was less than the original quoted price, which shows honesty and integrity. As a side note- the other stereo shop on the same road SUCKS!! I had to have everything they did replaced or reworked, not to mention the creep factor. read more

Outstanding service and the system sounds great. Appreciate the team staying after closing time to finish the project!

By far the best place for stereo design and installation. These guys are nationally known for their quality work and professionalism. People ship them cars from all over the US. I would not hesitate for a second in recommending them to others. read more

When I first purchased my Nissan 350Z, the first thing on the list was to pull out the crappy head unit, and replace it with a touch screen Pioneer unit. Chris, and the crew were very knowledgeable about my car and even allowed me to watch during the install (as I'm super anal about my car). Each interior panel was removed with care, and put back just as they were meant to be. That was 2 years ago, and the head unit is still working perfectly. I'm looking forward to upgrading my speakers with them as soon as I get a chance too. Also to add, they installed a head unit, speakers, and window tint in my little brothers Toyota MR2, all of which was done by the date and time discussed, and were installed perfectly. Mobile Toys IS the best car audio and custom audio shop in the Bryan / College Station area. Anyone else who says they can do for cheaper, and get you "better prices", remember you do get what you pay for. read more

Excellent quality workmanship. I've had speakers installed, custom fabrication done, window tinting on multiple vehicles, and sometimes I just go in to listen to their speakers. Every time I've been in they have been friendly and knowledgeable. Just as importantly, every time I've been in they've done exceptional work on my vehicle. The best place to get audio work down on a car or house. Just stopped in to get some more work done, can't say enough good things about it. I feel like they went above and beyond, It's got to be the best sound system I've ever owned. The install definitely looks professionally done, and the sound quality of the Focals they installed is spectacular. I've tried a lot of other brands, these are top notch. Everything they did spoke words about who they are, I'd be proud to show it off. read more

I heard these guys were the best, so gave them a call and scheduled an appointment for a fairly simple install: 1 amp, some front door speakers, and a sub. I drove the 100mi to show up at 8am, and got a little carried away in their show room and ended up deciding on a 3 amp install with 8 channels actively controlled on a DSP. Without hesitation Chris and his crew put in a 15-hr day to complete the install so that I could make it back home that day. Not a single detail was skipped, not a corner was cut. Custom parts were manufactured on CNC machines as I watched, while in parallel other guys were hand fabricating parts in their impressive "wood shop". The only hole drilled in my nearly brand new truck was for an out-of-site sub preout control knob, everything else mounted to factory locations using custom fabricated panels. Even for a trained eye, it's hard to tell this truck isn't stock until you hear it, which was a primary goal of mine: breathtaking sound in a stock looking package. Once the physical install was complete, Chris set out in his meticulous and OCD (in the best possible way) ways to get it dialed in. He started with baseline measurements from drivers head to each of the 8 speakers, then did some "seat of the pants" tuning of his own which can only be described as watching a master at work. He then had me come play some typical tracks that I'd listen to, then kicked me out of the truck to finish tweaking the tune based on my preferences. End result? One of the most amazing sounding stereos I've ever heard (and definitely best I've ever owned) while maintaining the stock appearance of the truck. I can sit here and try to get all wax lyrical about how it sounds, but that's better experienced in person. To use one word I would have to go with "PHENOMINAL" but so many other synonyms come to mind as easy choices. I took a gamble making a 100mi drive to visit a shop I'd never been to, but it paid out big. I wouldn't trust anyone else to put their hands on my vehicles when it comes to audio. World class parts, install, fabrication skills, and tuning, these guys are awesome! read more

Mobile Toys Inc. is a top notch business. In my experience dealing with Tyler, I could not have asked for a better representation of their company and the car audio industry. I am very picky so I took the time to drive 3 hours about three months ago where he gave me a detailed rundown of what Mobile Toys does along with answered all of my questions. I was not prepared to buy that day bcs I wanted to make sure I had time to process all the information he provided me. I probably called Tyler 5-6 times after that in-person visit with more questions about potential setups along with brand differences and pricing. This man is extremely patient and professional dealing with me calling multiple times. Needless to say we finally landed on the perfect solution for my needs and Tyler was able to get it all taken care of via phone (which I believe could be extremely difficult to do). Finally had an opportunity to drive up and get everything we spoke about installed and his professionalism and high level of customer satisfaction remained at an all time high. Again, dealing with an extremely picky person who always wants the best and demands perfection - Tyler and Mobile Toys Inc. got it done and if I had to do it all over again I wouldn't even shop other businesses in the same industry. Worth the drive, phenomenal value, from beginning to end. Thank you! read more

The quality and speed were excellent. I was really disappointed in the price though. I was told 250 on the phone but when I got the bill it was over 450. When we called the next day about the big difference, it was because I wasn't clear about what I wanted, even though I was VERY clear on the phone when the job was quoted. The radio does work great though. read more

They got me in and out with no problems. Clean work, quality components, great customer service and friendly, knowledgeable staff. No doubt the best in BCS! read more

Let me first say Chris and Adam are awesome. Best customer service I've ever experienced at an shop. They go over and beyond in service and the quality of work they provide. They've made 2003 Mercury Grand Marquis come alive with top of the line installation and customization that's out of sight. And top notch equipment JL audio and Focal. Thanks guys keep up the good work! Appreciate you. Mobile Toys#1 hands down!! read more

I had Mobile Toys install an AppRadio 2 into my 370Z and build me a custom dock for my iPhone back in 2012. That install went pretty smoothly and I was very pleased. I switched to a Prius C and had them install an AppRadio 3. There were some issues getting my iPhone to work with the AppRadio 3 (for which I blame Pioneer). After not being able to figure it out and causing stress for myself and probably taking up way too much of these guys' time, Chris agreed to take back the AppRadio 3 (and related parts) after three months and did a custom install of a Nexus 7 in the dash. It attaches by magnets, charges wirelessly and uses Bluetooth. Very sweet. I was impressed by their customer service. read more

The kind of business that garners repeat customers. Hard to find a retailer these days who understands the basics of customer service and customer relations. The entire crew made my wife and I feel welcome and acted like they all appreciated our business, Friendly folks who clearly enjoy their work and excel at it. I had a bit of a time constraint so they doubled up and got it done with a smile. These guy do most any automotive customizing including full restores and they know their business. Prices in line with industry. It isn't a cut rate shop but then again, one pays for what one gets. Highly recommended. read more

The best customer service in all of college station and in the truck industry! Adam is very nice and very helpful!

A little bit about myself. I compete in Car Audio, I am a certified Sound Quality judge in two separate Sound off organizations. I also live in Oklahoma. That being said, I am very particular about who works on my vehicles. At a show, I saw the system in this Civic, and had a chance to talk with the owner, Chris. After a long discussion, I knew I had found my shop and installer. Little did I know that Chris was the owner of the shop as well. When I arrived in College Station (a 7hr drive), Chris took my car in the back, and the tear down started immediately. I had already used sound deadening in my car, so they started running wires nearly immediately. Over the course of the weekend, they had created a custom installation that many people ooo'd and ahhh'd over at different shows. But as nice as the install was, the sound was more than what I expected. Chris not only installed the equipment I had, but I bought 3 amps and some new tweeters for this system. When he finished the install, he tuned it for me too. It was then that I knew I had found an installer for life. Chris is an absolute professional, who strives to provide the best car stereo installation experience for every customer who walks into his shop. Whether the install is simple like speakers and new headunit, to the absolute extreme custom-competition install, Chris will treat you like family. I have had two systems installed by Chris and his team, and with that car, I didn't lose a show. I now have a new car, and will be visiting Chris soon to talk to him about the system in this one. You will not be disappointed with the Mobile Toys staff. Their knowledge and expert installation skills far exceeds ANY shop in the Oklahoma/Texas region. read more

I live in Fort Worth Tx. I had many choices on who could build my dream system. Mobile Toys was my choice, and hands down the best one. I was kept informed about the progress on my vehicle, the staff was very friendly and courteous and respectful about my time. I received it back in even better condition then when I left it. It sounds amazing and looks so good. The attention to detail is magnificent. The best shop I have ever done business with. They even followed up to see if I had any questions after the sale. Thank you Mobile Toys Inc for giving me the total mobile audio experience on wheels. read more

Here is a national award winning installer. People and companies ship cars to them from all over the country (think of the West Coast Customs show on Discovery...these guys are at that caliber if not even better). Met the lead installer/owner last year...great guys and their shop is impeccable...I couldn't find a single local installer that I felt confident in their knowledge or ability to not mess up the car or cut corners...this shop does installs right and puts audiophiles at ease...from a simple radio swap to a $200k show car audio/interior installation job, these guys will take care of you...well worth the drive from wherever you live read more

All I gotta say is, "I'll be back." Not trying to be Arnold at all but the service, the pricing, the friendliness of Chris and his staff -- all wonderful! Great businessmen, easy to work with and superb and neat (tidy) work. Keep it up guys! I will drive the distance again for this great work AND customer service. read more

This place is the place to go if you want to get service that is unbeatable. Chris and his crew are experts in there profession and are very much about what you want and not what they want. He will do everything under the sun to make sure your questions have been answered and that you understand what you are buying. He is straight forward, some might find that off-putting but, that's because he knows what he's doing and has your best interest at heart. More importantly, I think, is that he has a great deal of integrity and will correct any mistake/issue that might have came to light without any hassle whatsoever. I had a ground wire come lose, pretty much because its a tiny gauge wire that came with an LED kit I bought elsewhere, but he was more than willing to have his guys look at it. They did and fixed it so that lil wire aint coming loose now. He wont bullshit you about how much something is or how great it might be when its not. For me, he told me I wouldn't get the bass I was looking for from just 6.5 speakers, I'll get awesome midbass and treble but not actual bass in which I am getting but will be putting on some 8's soon. His suggestion of the Focals was spot on and more so because I told him I was on a budget and he helped me stay in my target area by letting me know the Illusions would be a bit higher than what I was looking for and for my purposes. But he helped me reach my needs and not his. He is very patient, educates you per your questions and will do his best to accommodate everyone that walks into his store and lets them lead the way with some suggestions where appropriate. read more
