This is NOT a professional place of business! STAY AWAY. They have good reviews on yelp, but if you look at the reviews on google you'll get a better view of what kind of business this is. I wish I had researched more about Xtreme Audio before I had come here, because not only was the work they did on the car very bad, their work resulted in damages on the car that exceed the price I paid for the work.
I drive a 2013 Acura TSX. I came here to get my grille and fog lights blacked out, tint my windows, get HID headlights installed, tint my tail lights, and remove the Acura logo on the back of my trunk. The tail lights, fog lights, and grille all had orange peel on them, and there was black paint form the tint spray on my car. Tony said he was going to take off the bumper and tail lights when doing the work, but the paint on my bumper and car were clear indications that he lied. There were sand paper marks on my car from him sanding my tail lights. There were scratches on my car from where he removed the decals on my car.
Bubbles on the window tint were a big issue to me, and I made this clear to Tony before he proceeded to work on the car. He said that he guaranteed no bubbles on the tint job, and he said he would redo the tint if there were any problems. Tony lied again. The tint job was awful; it is one of the worst tint jobs I have seen on a car. There are hundreds of bubbles on the tint. When I raised the issue to Tony, he said that there were automatically going to be bubbles because he has an outside shop and he can't control the conditions while tinting. Furthermore, there were ten MASSIVE scratches on the windows from the paint job! The scratches were very deep. When I raised the issue to tony, he completely blew off the issue and said that his shop could not have been responsible for the damages. However, the car had less than ten thousand miles on it when I took it here, so it is not possible that these scratches could have been from normal wear and tear, and these scratches are so deep that they had to be caused by heavy duty tools. He then attempted to fix the damage by putting cheap plastic filler on it and remove excess with a box cutter, but this resulted in further scratches on the windows!
The were also issues with the fog lights. As mentioned earlier, there was paint on my car from him tinting the metal that surrounds the fog lights. I told Tony specifically that I wanted the same color fog lights as the headlights. However, the fog lights that tony out on the car are much bluer than the headlights on the car. Furthermore, the HID bulbs were not installed properly on the car, and the plastic housing for the fog light bulb broke due to overheating.
If these cost for these damages are added together, these damages easily exceed a thousand dollars. There are scratches on every single window on my car, and in order to restore the original condition of the car, all four windows would have to be replaced. The fog light housing needs to be replaced due to improper installment of the HID bulbs. The scratches on the trunk need to be repainted since buffing the area did not remove the scratches. Do yourself a favor and save yourself the trouble, time, and money and do not go to Xtreme Audio. They will act friendly with you before the transaction, but once they realize they damaged your car, they will do everything to lie and put the blame on the customer. This is not a professional place of business, and there are many reputable shops in LA County where you won't have to worry about damages to your car. read more
