Back in 2015 I had an oil change performed at A1 Auto Service Center on my 2014 Mazda 6. Several…read moreweeks later my oil pressure light came on while driving and my engine sounds were alarming. I took the car to my dealership and they pointed out that the oil filter had likely failed as the oil had leaked out which caused heavy engine damage. I contacted A1 Auto Service Center and was told that since the oil filter was good when I drove away, that it was my problem to deal with. After a LOT of back and forth over weeks and months WIX, A1 Auto Service Center's oil filter supplier, eventually covered the damage to my car. However the approximate $5,000 in rental car charges that I incurred, due to not having a working vehicle for several months, was never recouped. After doing some research into the industry, it turns out shops like A1 Auto Service Center are required to have insurance to cover situations like this and they didn't have it. In the end A1 Auto Service Center put the responsibility on me to pursue their oil filter supplier while they refused to take any responsibility. A reputable shop would have provided a backup vehicle while they took point and got it sorted out. I understand companies being cautious about accepting liability but this should never come at the expense of the customer. I felt helpless as these two companies consistently pointed the finger at each other all while I'm incurring debt in order to secure transportation just so I don't lose my job and ability to provide for my family. The way the owner/manager conducted himself towards me was disgraceful, disrespectful, and showed a complete lack of care for my situation as his customer. Everyone I spoke to that was involved in this ordeal had similar things to say him and the way he does business. This is, by far, the worst experience in customer service that I have ever received. That is why I have come back 10 years later to drop this review.

Its probably been over a year since then. Yesterday, I limped into town on a flat tire. I needed to make it to Costco for warranty repair, and the tire couldn't hold air. I asked if they could help me fill it. A wonderful man named John popped the tire off, took it in the shop, proceeded to plug it and inflate it, and pop it back on. Wouldn't let me pay for his help. I drove away with happy tears, knowing my toddler and I would safely make it to lake Stevens. We wouldn't have made it without his help. Thank you, John.

So I'm an old dude who likes his stereo systems that have some kick to them, I came up in the 80s…read morewhen stereos started to become a real thing. I've had all kinds of the Blaupunkt, pioneer , Kenwood, Sony , JVC, Jensen I've had them all. Alpine is my favorite. So I got a new vehicle and it was time for the stereo so I started shopping around and of course I went to car toys and I've actually had them do for for me a couple times or the years and NEVER been impressed with anything they do, personally I always know more about what I'm looking to buy than any of their sales staff. That being said I went into SS BARGAIN AUDIO on Evergreen way and met Steve the owner. After several trips in and out of SS BARGAIN and researching on the internet I decided to try Steve and SS BARGAIN AUDIO. I went with almost all of Steve's recommendations except for the head unit, I wasn't budging on my go to brand ALPINE that has never let me down or disappointed me. Until now! Steve more than once suggested the Kenwood head unit receiver but I wouldn't listen. Shortly after the installation there was an issue so I brought my vehicle back wondering how this would go..... Steve and Lee His installer were all over and although it took a few days he had gotten information from Alpine headquarters that they had seen this issue and had a solution for it, a software update. So after that things were better but still not as they should be. The head unit was doing all kinds of erratic things disconnecting from siriusXM if I sent or received a text message, having trouble connecting period and all of the problems were intermittent. So back to SS BARGAIN and Steve I went , by now a few months had passed and I was sure that would be unable or unwilling to help. I was wrong on both counts. At this point I was so frustrated that I told him I was just done with the Alpine ! And Steve being the stand up businessman that he is had no problem with that so I paid the difference in price between the two units and they yanked out the old Alpine and installed the new Kenwood no problem no questions asked. There's still really early but so far I'm extremely happy. I can't say enough good things about SS BARGAIN AUDIO !!! You would be making a huge mistake if you go anywhere else!!! Lee is a skilled installer and very much educated and up to date on all the new equipment. I've never had a better experience or installation. And if car toys did happen to do a decent installation job for you if you have any equipment issues I'm sure that you are out of luck or at minimum you'll be paying. PLEASE GO TO SS BARGAIN ADUIO for anything car stereo related I promise that you won't regret it and I'm willing to wager that you'll never go anywhere else!!! HANDS DOWN THE BEST SHOP IN EVERETT!!! Thank you Steve and Lee! And if I wasn't clear I went back took the Alpine out and put the Kenwood in and like it said it hasn't been long enough for a detailed review on the Kenwood head unit but so far I'm as happy as a pig in sh*t! I'll do a follow up review on the Kenwood, but I'm sure I'll still be happier with it than the Alpine. My only guess with why the Alpine had so many issues is my vehicle is a 2014 and the Alpine unit just came out in 2024 so maybe some of the electronics weren't jiving ??? Sounds weird but it's all I can come up with. Like I said for 20 plus years I've never had any issues with Alpine. But I'm happier right now with my Kenwood.

Well, when he called to tell me what was wrong, he gave me the price of $600. That's not what caused the stars to go down - it's when he told me it was going to be $100 out the door for "diagnostics." Now, I don't know what diagnostics are, but I brought my car in and he didn't do anything for me - and he's going to charge $100. That's crazy, and I really wasn't informed that the diagnostics would cost so much - if I would have known that, I would have held off on even bringing the vehicle in for service. I'm pretty disappointed in the amount of money I am paying for them to really do nothing for my car. That being said, maybe this is standard procedure and I am just ignorant to how things go. But, I am most upset about not being armed with that knowledge.
