I went to Best Buy today to have the technician look at my car stereo system. I had called earlier and described the problem for him and he simply told me to bring it in with my original sales receipt. Alex was his name, and he was very knowledgeable about my situation. He fixed the problem in a timely manor and even offered other suggestions for my stereo set up. I would recommend him to anyone.

What's great about it: Very clean installation
What's not so great: Bit pricey but more than worth it
They installed front door component speakers, both back deck 6x9's a;; hooked up to an amp. Told me everything they were going to do to my car and you cant even tell my car has a system in it. Great job and i will probably be going back to get my subs installed. Could do all this myself but i would rather just have them do it professionally and be happy with my life-time installation guarantee
Great service, friendly and i have zero complaints.

What's great about it: I have a shiny new AC Control Panel :-)
What's not so great: I had to pay for it. :-(
After purchasing a $1000.00 Kenwood Radio w/ 7 inch display, (at Best Buy in Desin, Fl.) I had them install it so I could listen to it on the way home. After about a week and a half, the radio wouldn't come on. I took it back to have the technition look at it, and after a few minutes he called and said it was ready to go. After backing out of the garage I turned my Air Conditioning on, only to find out it no longer worked. I ask the tech if he would look at it for me, and told him it worked when I came in. He said,"It looks like the wires are burnt, and I didn't touch the AC." The AC control panel is located directly below the radio. The next day I took it to the dealership, and was told the AC Control Panel was bad. It ended up cost $250.00 to replace. So, after it was all said and done, between the cost of installation and a new AC control panel, was $360.00. So, I recommend getting it install somewhere else.

What's great about it: NOTHING IS GREAT BOUT IT
What's not so great: EVERTHING
the costumer service was horrible at the best-buy in Temecula. i installed an amp and a subwoofer at the best buy but they forgot to install the bass booster which also comes with the amp so i went ahead to best buy in Temecula,CA and explained the situation. the guy who i talked to had a horrible attitude, at one moment he even tried to fight me when i was just tryna explain to him what had happened. his exact quotes were,"what u got beef with me? " but at the end he ended up installing the bass-booster for me which they had forgot to install for me the first time...after the install i checked to see if he had installed it properly and come to find out he did a bad job on my panels where the wire goes and the back seat was all loose. when i complained to the manager Ortiz (his name) he couldn't do any thing for me and told m to come back after 4 days. at that point i couldn't do anything so i agreed but as i was leaving both Ortiz and the guy who installed it where laughing and talking trash...

Failed Install

What's great about it: ...
What's not so great: fail
Failed amp installation and scratches left on new car. They detached the failed install and the stereo does not work the same before they brought it in. I was lied to. I basically got my car messed up for free. Now I have to pay a dealership to fix the issue. Also, I have to pay to get the failed install removed. Hopefully, I can talk to the manager to get this reimbursed but I will be contacting the Better Business Bureau.

What's great about it: Quality work, affordable price
What's not so great: Nothing so far
The technician did a fantastic job. The amp sounds great, absolutely no problems encountered. I could have done the job myself, but it would have taken much longer.
