Horrible company

Horrible . Got my sound system done it came apart. 05/07/2026 came to get it put back together he said "I can't do anything for you" without even checking I paid more than $500 DO NOT GO HERE !!

Kicker, Pioneer, Alpine and much more.

I initially brought my vehicle in for ceramic tinting and was quoted a very reasonable price. While I waited I noticed the installers pulled the wrong film and I brought the issue to the owner to address. He stated he would resolve it and he went and talked to the installers. They removed the visible box of film and continued the installation. They tint display is misleading as it's not 3M film, they are installing a local brand named Solar Free. Upon recent testing by another stereo/tint shop they told me I actually ended up NOT getting the ceramic installed and it was likely what I had seen them using in the beginning which was the Nano Carbon. So, I paid for Ceramic, but they likely switched it to the cheaper Nano Carbon on installation. While I was getting the tint done Anthony offered me a great deal on a Kicker hidewaway subwoofer. Thinking I had been treated fairly I went back a few weeks later and had them do the installation. He originally quoted me $400 installed, but on arrival he tells me that they needed to install an adapter since I had a factory radio. I informed him it was an aftermarket upgrade with a 12" screen and not a factory radio. This radio required no adapter as it has RCA outputs for amps. He wrote up the invoice and I paid the bill without looking, later to realized he still added to unnecessary adapter to the bill for an extra $50! As I was doing other work on the truck I decided to look at their wiring. I realized they tapped a power wire instead of installing the wiring to the battery and they didn't use an adapter, one that they billed me for, they tapped speaker wires that go to the rear amp. So in all, they failed to install the amp the proper way and failed to install parts that I paid for. A part that I told them was not needed, but I was charged for regardless. I won't return and I am considering filing a complaint with the DEPARTMENT OF CONSUMER AFFAIRS * BUREAU OF HOUSEHOLD GOODS AND SERVICES as they are the ones who licensed car stereo shops.

This was allegedly "ceramic" tint film that they put on my back window.

0 stars, if it's possible and nev coming back here. I agreed with this shop to tint my 7-window sedan with carbon film for $150. When I arrived, they suddenly charged me $170, claiming it was "tax." The receipt showed no breakdown, just a flat $170, which felt misleading from the start. They also ran out of film mid-job, leaving my back windows untinted and making me return the next day. What made it worse was seeing another customer walk in and get their car tinted right away, as if they were prioritized over me. To "compensate," they promised to upgrade the back tint to ceramic. Weeks later, when I went back to confirm, they insisted it was ceramic, but it was clearly just carbon. That felt like a flat-out lie. On top of that, when reinstalling my window visor, they didn't align it properly, the sides were uneven, untaped and looked sloppy. Between the surprise upcharge, poor scheduling, broken promises, and dishonest work, I cannot recommend this shop. Customers deserve honesty, transparency, and respect, unfortunately, I experienced none of that here.

WARNING ‼ If you are seeing this run don't walk down to PCH audio NOW! I have a 2024 Volkswagen atlas cross sport that needed a better sound system because the stock system was super low, just terrible. I saw this spot on Instagram came down met with Anthony and his crew and I am nothing short of amazed at how they took really good care of me. Anthony was super knowledgeable he knew exactly what I wanted and needed! Guys my car sounds AMAZING. Their prices are great, they are definitely not like the other guys, they actually care. The entire staff was super warm, welcoming very friendly and reassuring. Please go check them out they are truly a one stop shop.

Don't be fooled by dissss fooo. Rico not so suave quoted me 500 for Memphis 0 gauge amp kit than told me to check online cause I said it seems expensive Target sells for 297.99 PLAYED YOURSELF

New headrest TVs

Thanks again to Anthony and the guys . Great work. Everything came out really clean couldn't have asked for a better install. The work was done on the time frame he gave me and all for a good price. I rate this place 5 stars. If you're looking for a great custom audio shop this is the place. Thanks again Anthony I will be back for further installs.

Initially was happy with my purchase they did some good upselling got me a full system. Same day that I left my back up camera began to have issues called he said come back the next day. Missing work that day of work I came in and they said they did not have time. Rescheduling for another day I went in they worked on it I got in the car and had the same issue. They said they will order me a new unit and give me a call in 2 weeks. It has been since September 4th it is now February 3rd still no call. I decided to call they claim to not be on site and call the next day. I called again they say it's in stock I can come in. I tried to schedule a day that works for me because I can't keeping missing work but they are "busy". Highly disappointed do what they need to make a sale but unfortunately does not fix the issue. My back up camera still does not work and navigation tells me I'm going opposite way or flying over buildings in different locations than where I am. Not happy I'm still paying off financing on something that doesn't fully work properly.

5% window tint on all 7 windows
Natali Z.

Best place to get your windows tinted!! Thought it was going to take longer than 2 hours and it was less than expected. Got 5% on all 7 windows for my Nissan Kicks. They had a great deal! I seen all the reviews and had to come try it out. Anthony and his crew did an amazing job! I love it so much it was worth every penny! I'm so glad they added a bright sticker on the window switch to remind me not to roll them down!! If it wasn't for that I would've rolled the window down 2 hours later lol

I had planned on being a returning customer and have custom wrap done on my car, interior lighting, and a few other things. I had even started referring different friends to the business who also wanted to have work done on their cars. Sadly it didn't turn out this way, as I randomly got a text message on February 27, 2023 from his wife suddenly banning me from returning since apparently they had marital problems and decided to involve me in their personal lives. I was absolutely blindsided and quite frankly disappointed at how Alonso and the "co-owner" went about their issues. I wanted to let this go however since his team replaced my car's dash screen, CarPlay system, tinted my windows, the sound system has been absolute trash for taking calls. Callers say they either can't hear me or hear an intolerable echo that makes it hard to listen to what I'm saying. I have not been able to have clear calls ever since the work they did. So l was left with an unusable phone audio system in my Mercedes that required an added expense since I clearly am "not welcome" to fix the crap they did to my car in the first place.

I've taken in my cars for minor things to larger maintenance matters and inspections. Oil changes and transmission servicing are quick and simple. Never a hassle, they will give you the service you asked for and will advise you of any issues that they observe, but will not force you to receive servicing for other issues. I've brought in my Corolla for heavy work such as replacing motor mounts, renewing the brake components, repairing axles and control arm issues. They absolutely make sure your vehicle runs smooth and will not turn break apart like Lego pieces. *Even better since I was able to purchase my own parts and get servicing completed within the same day. When I used to bring in my MR2, they did all the necessary work when an issue came up. They taught me why something didn't work or made a funny noise, and troubleshooted the problems with ease. I'll always appreciate their dedication and consistency in their work ethic. Come to this shop if you don't know where else to go, cause all the cool cars do.

From the initial messaging thru yelp about their services and pricing - not only were they responsive in responding back but almost mindful and giving you some grace when the scheduled time moves last minute. The materials they used, the workmanship, and the attention to the smallest detail is second-to-none that it's no wonder car people go to their shop for ppf/tint/detail work. Allen will work around your budget as well and understands the investment that a customer puts in to their vehicle. He treats you more than a customer - but rather a friend that you once had a few drinks with. I've always believed in the saying buy once, cry once.. but with Allen and his team, you get more than what you paid for and the results bring nothing but smiles knowing it was done meticulously. You will be happy you went to their shop!

However, I followed up a couple weeks later asking if a certain date worked. I even explained that I had been busy and said the only time I'd have to bring in the car would be the following week. I paid $450 for this wrap and an extra $100 for the wrap itself. When the first job was done poorly, I went back to the shop to address the issues and they said they would fix it. I texted on a Tuesday expecting a response, and I waited until Sunday to follow up again. Instead of Lisa taking accountability, she told me I "did not reach out," which is extremely unprofessional and untrue. I had apologized for being busy, and I did reach out; she just did not respond. When I reminded her the job was poorly done and how there had been no response, she took zero accountability and tried to use my words against me. Lisa ignored my response when I explained how the situation should have been handled and how she failed to reply in a professional manner. As the customer, I should not have to teach someone how to treat me correctly or how to run a shop professionally. I wasn't trying to start problems; I stated the truth about the situation, but she did not like that. I went back because I had already paid and just wanted the work corrected. I dropped my car off again on Monday around 11:30am. The shop texted me claiming the wrap "wouldn't adhere," which I knew was an excuse. I told them to proceed because the material was fine, and if they couldn't install it, that was their shop's error. The rest of my car's wrap was perfectly fine. To double-check, I contacted the previous shop, who confirmed this shop was making excuses, saying, "The wrap sticks just fine. It sticks on the rest of your car fine. They're talking nonsense." I knew they no longer wanted to service me, and I no longer wanted their service either. I paid a good amount of money for this treatment. I made sure the job would get done. The shop told me the job would be done by Wednesday late afternoon. This was the second time they confirmed a deadline and failed to meet it. I made it clear from the start that I have a busy schedule and cannot afford delays, yet they did not respect that. Removing and rewrapping a front bumper is a 1-2 day job, it is not like I was asking to wrap half the car. I set a boundary that if it was not ready by 5pm Wednesday, as they confirmed, I would request a refund. My whole car was wrapped, had parts added, brakes caliper color change, and badges blacked out in about a week. I took it to another shop before taking it here. (Dependable Guys in Santa Ana) I am not a professional, but I am not stupid. There were no photo updates either, I had to ask for them. When they finally sent a picture, the wrap looked freshly slapped on two days after I dropped the car off. The day I dropped it off, they said the wrap did not adhere. It looked like my car sat there for two days until I asked for the photo, or it took them two days to remove a month old wrap and throw on one big piece lol.. My car is a small sedan, a CLA, not a supercar or SUV. Her words were: "Ok we will remove all the wrap and give you your money back. Come and pick it up today." She added, "You are demanding the refund so come get it. We cannot accommodate the time frame for you. Thank you we will be gone by 5 so please make it in time so we can process the refund." However, Mark (the installer) had reached out to me and told me him and his co worker would come into work early to finish the job. This was the second time they broke their own deadline, and instead of taking accountability, she tried to flip it back on me. Lisa took everything personally when this situation should have been handled with professionalism. I never asked them to remove my wrap; I just wanted the job done properly. The installer Mark was professional, but Lisa was disrespectful, dismissive, and extremely immature in how she handled the situation. I told them to leave the wrap and keep the money. This was their mistake, which took up the free time I rarely have. Even after I explained my situation, reminded them of prior mistakes, and was patient with the delays, they still couldn't get the job done on time. I didn't want or need the money back; I needed my car back lol. It was clear they didn't take me seriously, and I was forced to escalate this further, which she didn't like either. This was waste of time and caused unnecessary stress. I was frustrated because I had to deal with unprofessional and immature behavior. All I got were excuses, missed deadlines, and poor communication. This business does not stand on its word or its service. Don't bring your car here. Many shops in OC offer far better service and professionalism. I recommend Dependable Guys in Santa Ana!

The repaired areas are completely seamless and indistinguishable from the original wrap. What really sets Dependable Guys apart is their combination of quality, speed, and professionalism. They completed the entire wrap repair the same day without compromising craftsmanship. That level of efficiency is rare in the auto wrap and collision repair space. The customer service was just as impressive. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and very detail-oriented. Arson took the time to explain the process, set clear expectations, and delivered exactly as promised. If you are looking for Tesla wrap repair, vinyl wrap services, paint protection film, or high-end color matching, I highly recommend Dependable Guys.
