During install they Broke a part on my car that automatically unlocks my doors when touching my handle. They Replaced the part though which is nice and Installed Bass knob as well, but it took 3 weeks to get both parts in the shop then I had to drive all the way back and leave my car overnight for the 2nd time. And now I have noticed that my Bass knob and Amp wasn't tuned Properly. Now I have to go back to a different shop to get them to tune everything properly. Communication was not good. Took an average 4 days to hear anything back from anyone there. I did not have these problems when I went to a different Audio shop. I have seen great reviews on this place, so I decided to try these guys. Sadly, I feel I didn't get the best Quality business I thought I would get.

I reached out to Eric to replace my 20-year-old speakers & CD player. After visiting his store and a very in-depth conversation (and, he wasn't a pushy salesman at all; very sweet, very knowledgeable, and I trusted he was going to help me make the right decision), not only do I now have a Sony Apple Car Play player, and four nice speakers, but also remote start, sub woofer, a backup camera, and electronic locks. The fact that he could add all that on this old of a Jeep is so cool! He was so great about communicating scheduling, updates, pricing, etc. The price was incredibly reasonable for all of those huge upgrades, and all the hours he spent on it, I'm really impressed! Thanks for making this process so seamless, Eric!

I really had issues with the infotainment system MIS installed on my 2020 pathfinder in November…read more Apparently MIS will no longer work with the company that made the replacement system due to the excessive issues. After speaking with Jeff, post me losing my cool with Andrew, he found a different system that had to be custom made to work. So in Jan, MIS took out the failed system that they installed and replaced it with a modified system that functions perfectly. They worked to fix a problem that was not an install issue. It was a component issue. It took time and they got it right. Since they were willing to work with me and provided me a functional infotainment system I had them also install a front and rear dash cam system. I really appreciate the customer care. Thanks

Not…read moreonly did it crap out after 1.5 years, but the person who installed it left my car computer dangling by the gas pedals, and the remote only worked within 50 feet. To make it all somehow worse: when I made the appointment that October, they were booked out till January. My appointment finally comes, and I get a call saying that the technician has COVID and the earliest they can see me is March. So I went the whole winter I had expected to have an auto starter with no auto starter... Turbo Tim's recommended this place to me since they don't do auto starter's, and I am THRILLED with my experience. They had appointments within a few days, the prices are incredibly fair for great models that include the price of installation, the technicians were friendly and super knowledgeable, the starter actually works as advertised, they left my car in better shape than they found it (by putting my computer in its place), and I got a discount because they were able to reuse some pieces from my old starter. Could not have asked for a better experience and will be recommending this place to anyone looking for an auto starter.

If you want lower end or cheapest stereo or stuff go somewhere else, that is NOT what they do at Mobile Essences. This is mid level to upper level components and install business. You are paying more for good durable components and reputable installers who know what they are doing. If you want to spend $400 on a system go to Walmart, if you want to spend a couple grand (or more) on a top shelf system this is the place to go!

Ill always remember his hands were solid white for some reason when he came out. It was at different location than it is now. I did have all the wires but it seemed like a lot of gear still to put together with thick gauging which isn't exactly easy to install but not an expert. (Special shout out to Kyle C. who helped install the first half of my system so this is a token of my gratitude as well) In conclusion he charged me $100 even and honestly to this day haven't had a problem with anything not working unless my box tips over and the power or ground come unplugged every so often. Absolutely recommend this place these guys have won awards and prizes for days. Awesome people.

Ron thoroughly explained everything in detail and then let me know the approximate costs prior to beginning work. He gave me a project maximum cost which he did end up staying under upon completion. Ron completed his work and patched up the walls in a reasonable amount of time. The wall patching isn't perfect but he explained how to finish the walls even better with a few items from Home Depot which was helpful. In the end, the final product looked great! If you are looking for a seasoned TV installer who really knows how to get it done, Ron is your man!

Ron was very accommodating and flexible with our communication method and I love it when a service uses text messaging to communicate with their potential customers. Makes life easier with two toddlers running around. We love it that Ron was available to come and do the job right away within 72 hours since we were busy the whole weekend. We contacted him on Friday and he was ready to do the job the next day! I would recommend Ron as he is very knowledgeable and does a nice job of cleaning up the mess afterwards. U didn't give 5 stars because he wasn't able to put the outlet plate cover back on due to patch work not completely dry yet before he left.

I bought a used 2008 Prius here in California last January, but there were CDs stuck in the player. Looked around for the best deal on a refurbished unit and they were it. Along with a reasonably priced and packed radio, they gave me good diagnostic advice. The radio works great. A couple of months ago, the navigation system went on the fritz. I called, expecting to exchange the radio, but they told me the problem was most likely the navigation DVD reader. When I received it, I tripped on the way to the garage and it landed on the tile floor (d'oh!). Installed it anyway and it didn't work, but now I couldn't be sure if it was because of the dropped unit or if the problem remained elsewhere. I called Joe to tell him my sad story, and he said "stuff like that happens, it's okay." I sent him back BOTH units, plus my navigation DVD, and they bench-tested each one over a few days, finding them both to work fine. He sent me back my original unit and DVD, and suggested I check all wiring connections before buying a more expensive refurbished video display from them. Checking and cleaning all connections didn't solve the problem, so I purchased their refurbished video display, which arrived last night. Worked like a charm! What a relief! I'm sorry for the people who haven't had good experiences with Original Car Audio, and I'm somewhat perplexed. Maybe they've changed ownership or employees. Based on my months-long interactions with them, I could not be more satisfied.
