This business was charging $1500.00 to installed a 360 dashboard camara for my vehicle. That's a rip off.

Lousy service these people don't know what you're doing they messed up my vehicle they could never connect the speakers that way they should be done all I went in there for some simple backup camera and they messed up the whole system seems like they do not know what they're doing they were always calling some other techs around to see how they can do the work and I think it's just a cover up I think it's a laundry money thing read more

What Can I say I brought my Infiniti all the way up here from L.A County to have my system upgraded by TKO. The shop owner Albert was very patient with me considering I have very little knowledge on stereo systems. He walked me through step by step to help me make the best decision. I wanted to keep my stereo factory stocked while upgrading the speakers. I LOVE the upgraded speakers. I have lots of bass. I have 2 amps in my car one for voice and one for bass I can't tell you how many inquiries I get on where I got my system. Most importantly nothing rattles. Nothing more irritating then a rattling system. Now I have my friends that live down south in L.A County wanting to bring their cars here. The price is well worth the quality you get. I can't say enough how I highly recommend TKO for all your sound needs!!!! read more

I took my Dodge Magnum there to have a DVD player with backup camera installed, the deck they sold me did not work with the camera they sold me so they called and said I had to get another deck $200 more expensive, I said ok, went to pick up my car and they actually installed a deck that was $300 cheaper and wanted to charge me $200 more until I pointed it out then they still did not want to give me the price difference until I made a big deal over it. DO NOT GO, they are a RIPOFF! read more

It's ridiculous how ignorant these people are. He unscrewed my door panel and took out the speaker, then when he put it back, he screws the speaker screw straight into my power window motor. Then went I went back and told him it wasn't working, he denied anything and everything. Didn't want to fix it, said that he didn't do anything wrong. So I take it to mobile audio and they found out what the problem was. Short answer, don't go here. read more

February of 2012 I took my Tahoe to have a stereo installed. TKO is right across the street from my work and the price was $40 so was convenient and inexpensive. The installer installed the stereo in about 30 minutes but there was a bit of a gap between the stereo and the mounting kit. I brought this to his attention and he said it had to do with the kit. Week later I had a friend of mine basically take apart the console and he fixed it so the gap was gone. Now forward to June 2013. I took my Honda Accord to have a stereo installed. Same crap again with there being a gap between stereo and mounting kit but installer also cracked the console panel. He tried telling me that it was kind of old thats why it cracked. I have a Special Edition Accord and it's going to cost about $140 to buy a new console panel. Next time I'll pay a little more to have the work done correctly. read more

I took my car in to get a sub and amp installed. It was installed and I was happy to finally have some kick to my music. I can't remember how much later (not much), I noticed my sub was cutting out tons of times during every song!!!!!! It was annoying to say the very least. I called tko they said bring it in all we will fix it, they "fixed" it and I drove off, only for it to still cut out again! After taking it to them once again I gave up on them. I took it to another place and spent $35. This other place fixed it within 20 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That pissed me off that tko couldn't find the problem like these guys did!!! I normally have ok experience at tko but this lost my business due to me having to use my time and gas to drive back and forth, and someone else fixed it insanely fast! read more

BE AWARE!!!!! THESE GUYS ARE STRAIGHT UP THIEVES!!!My dad went in for a backup camera/stereo, got installed after many hiccups and many return all day visits. IT STILL DOES NOT SOUND THE SAME! The owner told my dad, "if you want it to sound the same as it did before you're going to need to purchase an amp for 450.00 plus installation" WTF who does this crap to customers? My dad has been taken by this lousy stereo shop! To top it off, their techs are garbage, calling around different shops and looking up utube to find out how to install a stereo SMH.... we'll see how they act after my brothers n I walk in, I really feel they took advantage of my dad and that's a bad move on their part read more

Terrible service definitely not worth it he is way overpriced. Do not recommend coming here. My car electronics have been giving me nothing but issues lights flickering out and things haven't been working. Tried to charge me to fix something he messed up. Took it to another shop to have it evaluated and they laughed at the work they saw they thought it was a joke. Definitely would not recommend very poor quality. read more

3/10 Service is meh. Their installs for anything have been rather mediocre. Took in three different cars in past 2yrs. Last was in February. Amp not working because of lack of correct connections. read more

Weak service AND way over priced. Go somewhere you are valued. Mr. Guzman over charged on some equipment them decided not to install. Thank goodness who wants someone to work on their vehicle who doesnt give a @#. read more

Garbage garbage garbage straight garbage and more garbage. Yes they gave me a deal but, after spending 450$$$ I had to go back twice! I was patient and kind but the second time I went I drove from Monterey after work thru that hellish traffic and they turn me away. I told them I paid you and my shits not working and they said well this guys paying too. If it were my business I would have dropped everything fixed my shit and got me outta there and apologize to me. So Fuck um! Don't spend your money there! and if you Tko guys see me on the street don't even look my way. 450$$$!!!!! I won't forget read more

I've been a returning customer for about 2 years. First, I got some 10 in MTX audio subs installed, and it was a solid installation. Then I came back to have a full system upgrade. I got a touch screen stereo, two 12 inch RE SEx Audio subs, two amps one for the voice the other for the bass, a battery to power the beasts, also got a component setup. RE everything. Cashed out on my cars audio system with these guys and I can say that I am satisfied beyond belief. Bryan, the technician, does a fantastic job installing and doing any maintenance work that needs to be done on my audio. He's a whiz kid at this job and that's why I give it 5 stars. Great customer service, high quality work, and my favorite place to go for my cars audio system. If you're windows ain't shakin you've been taken. Or you don't got the funds haha. My audio system will shake your house haha. Great job to Bryan. I'll be returning of course. Thanks for the great work! read more

10-06-15 I took in my fully loaded F-150 to get a new subwoffer and a new stereo with Bluetooth. I should have known when the were an hour late showing up for the appointment. The rest is history but the stereo they sold me fore $324 is totally a POS. The from two speakers are miss wired to the subwoffer and do not produce sound above a wisper. The blue tow full duplex doesn't work well either. Overall, a bid downgrade from a bad product to a bad installation from a bad company. Should have checked the other reviews first. read more

DO NOT GO HERE. I was recommended here. The kid at the front, "Brian" has horrible organization and customer service skills. They take the vehicle to someone's house so you can't watch them do the work. Where to start, I took my wagon in the day I bought it to get it limo tinted, at first the kid said they couldn't do it that week. Then when I said I had cash, he said he would get it done for me that day so i left it and the wife and I walked Salinas for 5 hours till the job was done. Came back, there was hair in 2 of the windows and there was bubbles on the rest, it also wasn't limo which is what we agreed on and why I spent $240 on it. I confronted them about the hair and bubbles, they said they won't have a tint guy for 2 weeks now. They also said the tint was the darkest they had after they had put it on. (Could of just told me you guys didn't have it from the jump). I come back 2 weeks later for my appointment and the kid Brian tells me the tint guy isn't there on the scheduled appointment day. All he said was sorry and try next week. So after wasting all that gas driving a hour to and from this crappy establishment, I give them a 3rd chance to fix it, I went back the next week, the kid Brian ask for my keys, takes it again for 3 hours. I come back and they had only re done 1 window with the biggest hair in it, the rest still have bubbles and one has hair still. The kids excuse was, and I quote, "it's not worth it for us to fix". WTF? It's my car, my money, so do it right or give my money back and I'll go to someone more reputable. All in all, I lost 240 bucks plus over 100 in gas and have a shitty Tint temporarily. Trying to save you the headache, go to anyone but these guys. read more
