HiFi Club improved my quality of life. That's a big statement, so let me explain…read more I live in a higher-end property, but it's older, having been built in 1910. My home and property are not without challenges and idiosyncrasies, and the guys at Hi Fi Club overcame them all. I had a complicated yet limited sound system with a big footprint, outdated internet software and slow speeds, cumbersome controls for TV and sound, and older TVs. Ric and Nathan evaluated my needs and presented proposals, and then they got to work. This large job began right as the Coronavirus pandemic became serious, yet they didn't skip a beat. All those working in the house wore mask, gloves and booties. They always communicated with me, and oftentimes by text, so social distancing could be accomplished. What a gift I have ended up with. I no longer limp along with slow internet speed. I have state-of-the-art sound and smart TVs, all controlled by one simple remote located in each room (I can also use my phone). I've been subscribed to a very reasonable 24/7 support service through HiFi Club. I have an advocate when dealing with Cox Communications, but they set me up with Roku, so I can "cut the cord" with Cox any time. I have music in rooms where I didn't before, and existing speakers have been calibrated using a non-invasive cutting-edge Bluetooth program. Outdoor speakers have changed my backyard experience. And, the TVs in my bedroom and guest room turn into framed works of art when the TV is off. Honestly, I couldn't be happier with what Hi Fi Club has done for me. The guys at HiFi Club are highly professional, but really fun to work with. The owners were intimately involved with the installation here, and emphasized often that they weren't happy until I was happy. These are all good people and I trust and respect them, and make this recommendation without reservations.

VERY Unhappy Customer here. Central Coast AV / Ventura Smart Home installed a $34,000 AV system in…read moremy parents home under my supervision. This includes an over $6,000 Araknis internet system which they insisted upon instead of Google Wifi because they would use it to 'monitor, troubleshoot, and fix issues proactively and remotely'. The system has been really shoddy and super slow for years and we thought it was because of our ISP. We just upgraded to gigabit ethernet, got it working well from the modem, but once we plugged the modem into the expensive Araknis system they recommended, we're still getting speeds of 5mbps and it cuts in and out constantly. I reached out to Chris Wilson, who is an owner and did our original installation, a week ago, and got no response. I called multiple times and only got through once - a guy named Juan, who on Friday promised to set a site visit for Monday. I sent him an email with my information and thanked him. Today, he decided to instead reply and saying the following: "I am sorry to inform you, but it appears that your system is no longer under any warranty.  Additionally we can no longer service your system.  I apologize for the inconvenience." Central Coast AV will convince you you need more than you do, overcharge you, and then ignore you if you ever experience issues or need service. Stay away or they'll take advantage of you too!

Project #2: Samsung Frame installation in our kitchen I hired Shlomi with a specific idea for how I wanted the Frame mounted. He listened, was completely willing to do it my way, and then expertly walked me through why a different approach would work better. He wasn't pushy about it; he just knew his stuff, explained it clearly, and let me make the call. I'm glad I went with his recommendation. A few things that stood out (again): - He installed the entire Frame while I was on a work call. When my call ended, he was already finished, the TV was up, and everything was clean. Zero damage, zero mess, zero disruption. - The same patience and lack of ego from the doorbell project carried over. He could have just done it his way from the start, but he respected that I had a plan and earned his way into changing it. - The result looks exactly like the Frame is supposed to look: flush, clean, like art on the wall. He's earned two installs of loyalty from me, and there will be a third, fourth, and fifth.

We had a broken computer screen on a Lenovo Yoga 910. I brought it in and Shain said he could fix it. Everything was fine but he did ask me if he could have the login info to set things up with the new screen. This was the first warning sign I should have heeded. He completed the repair and it worked. Here's where the part comes in that shows the lack of integrity and respect for people's privacy he has. We noticed he was logged in on to one of my wife's accounts she didn't use. We dug in further to discover he had left 5 star reviews for himself on Google, Yelp, and anything else he could log into. I couldn't believe it and that's the reason he wanted our password. NEVER give him a password to your computer account Finally, the repairs were conducted in a sloppy way, which left parts hanging off the screen. Additionally, the screen was installed proud and the computer couldn't fully close. I sure hope he's not doing this anymore, and I caution anyone against having their privacy invaded.
