We had an issue with our DVD monitor in our van. We went into Ocala Car Audio and Tint, and he went way above and beyond researching why it wasn't working. They called and said come in because he thought he had it figured out. He had the DVD working within minutes. Saved us alot of money from having to replace it. We appreciate his honesty and will definitely be back in the future.

I had a self installed basic audio and bass system in my jeep. I went there to upgrade my audio system to better quality door speakers for better sound. My doors needed some modifications to make room for the speakers. They had to make panels for the speakers which they carpeted and made look as close to factory as they could. They did a phenomenal job and was very happy with that outcome. Unfortunately I noticed my sound would cut out at higher volumes. I went back up there and they were helpful in giving me some connectors to upgrade some wiring. This still did not resolve my issue so I dropped it off. They had the jeep for 2 days and fixed some connections and adjusted the amps. I picked it up and was told what they did to resolve the issue. The manager was out of town ( whome I had been talking to). after leaving I found that the issue was still there and it seemed that they just turned down the amps so it didn't happen as often. I went back up there a few days later upset . I asked to speak to Parish the owner. This man stopped what he was doing and came out and tested my system. He concluded that my alternator was not strong enough to power the system properly and I had a faulty amplifier. He instructed his manager Tarance to take care of me. The manager was very upset that he was told that my issues had been resolved and were not. Trance went over a plan to rewire everything with a 320 amp alternator. They would work with me and my budget. they took the faulty amp back on warranty gave me a deal on another battery and built an enclosure for it. they installed my alternator with upgraded power and grounds. they spend 3.5 days going through every aspect of the audio system. They even testes and tuned the speakers with a oscilloscope. My system was tuned to perfection. I was told my jeep was ready. When I went up there the manager and the installer went over everything they did with me. all the wiring looked very clean. I could tell they went above and beyond to make everything very nice. when I turned on the radio even at half volume I could tell it was right on. I cranked it up and was very impressed with the clarity and power if the audio. I am very happy. and I will be back for more audio needs with other vehicles. Thank you Tarance and Parish for you work patience knowledge and understanding and most of all your dedication in making a customer happy.

Had my front driver and passenger windows done with 3M ceramic tint. They did a great job and the tint is super clear. Highly recommend them for your tinting needs.

Very friendly staff and someone here always tries to greet you when you walk in. Even if it's just, "someone will be right with you", at least you don't get ignored like some other shops.The sales guys really seem to know their stuff and it's great to hear them confidently explain how some of these products are applied to your application.Their window tinter did an excellent job on our vehicle and he's pretty talented for someone so young. I've seen other work he's done and you'd be surprised.The showroom is always pretty clean with some things nicely displayed and they don't mind you touching things while you look around and while they're showing you a few things.On some visits you can even find a motorcycle inside, and you can tell that someone here is a biker for sure. Lots of bikers stop in to have their bikes worked on when I'm here, so I'd say they must be doing a pretty good job, because bad work spreads fast in the biker community.I'd highly recommend bringing your vehicle to Ocala Car Audio. They also do more than just audio. I know they do rear view cameras, parking sensors, blind spot detection, tint, lighting, dash cams, truck steps, alarms, remote starts, and even repairs on your audio equipment. Probably a lot more things too.The only downfall I'd say is the parking lot is not the easiest to get into and out of.

Avoid dealing with Ocala car audio and tint at all costs. I went to Ocala car audio on January 19th 2024 and spoke to Terrance the manager to decide on a dash Cam for my 2024 X5 BMW. The first thing that I expressed was my concern regarding the dash cam draining my battery. He assured me that it s basically impossible because of the small milliamp draw. I decided on a 3 camera Blackvue dash cam that they are a dealer for. They are extremely expensive and I was told by Terrence that they are professionals and certified BMW installers and basically you pay for what you get. We set up an appointment and had to have my car there by 9:00 AM and they would call me when it was ready. After waiting all day, I called and called and called no answer. Finally, Terrence called me and told me that there was something wrong and they needed a device from BMW to fix it. I was very uncomfortable about them driving my car from their dealer to BMW but at that point I had no choice. Once again, I did not hear from them and it was getting close to 6:00 PM there closing time. So, my wife and I decided to drive up there to see what was going on (30-minute drive each way). Terrence informs me that something wasn t just right and that they would have to keep it overnight. The next day I received a call from Terrence that I can pick up my X5.The very next day I get in my car and there s a display stating that my battery is extremely drained.I called Terrence and told him of the problem and he stated that the doors were open while they were working on the car and that s what probably drained the battery. He advised me to drive it around to charge the battery. Keep in mind I already drove it for 30 minutes from the dealer to my house. Driving around did not help the problem. I called Terrence and the owner Parish Tanner got involved. Parrish did not believe there was anything wrong so he decided to drive to my house to find out for himself on February 1 2024. He insisted that we need to drive around the area to see if the battery will charge and it did not. Then he asked me to turn on the automatic engine off button so it would turn off at a stop. Once again, he insisted that we drive all around to see if it would charge the battery and it did not. After jumping through all these hoops, he said I would have to bring my car to be BMW to troubleshoot it, to determine if it s the vehicle or his dashcam installation.Robert the service writer at BMW called me after a couple of days. And informed me it was definitely the dash cam that was causing my battery failure. He informed me that the vehicle cannot have any more than 0.022 amp draw and the dash Cam was drawing 0.700 amps way too much. Below is the statement from BMW.Customer states battery light coming on after installation of aftermarket dash cam camera. Ran vehicle test. Found faults for vehicle staying awake. Checked battery and draw, found vehicle had about a 700 MA draw on the Battery. Spec is 9-22 MA. Unplugged camera system and draw dropped to spec. Customer approved removal of aftermarket dash cam system. Removed aftermarket camera system. During removal, found the unit power wires were twisted and soldered directly to a power wire that is hot at all times. Cut small section of wire out and performed wiring repair. Checked operation all OK.The repair fee from BMW was for $1500.00. And as an admission of faulty workmanship, Ocala car audio paid the charge to BMW. BMW of Ocala was gracious enough to deliver the dash Cam to Ocala car audio and received a written confirmation.On February 9th I contacted Ocala car audio and requested a full refund of $971.77 to be credited to my credit cards. s of February 17th, I have had no response. Now I am forced to dispute the charge with the credit card company. This demonstrates their unprofessional spiteful character. Finally on April 15, 2024 the credit card company closed the dispute due to a lack of response from Ocala car audio and credited my account. So now I can post my review and strongly advise everyone to avoid these people.

Great place, great service. Got my car in the same day that I bought it from Mercedes. Told them I refuse to ride in a fish bowl and even though they were closing in 2 hrs and 30 minutes they told me to just get there asap and they would get my tint job done. Long story short, they made my AMG look presidential and handled it with care. Highly recommended.

Friendly, helpful, and professional staff. I was recommended to this business and was told, they re the best, but they re expensive. However, I m a firm believer in that you get what you pay for. That being said, they were still able to offer me a promotional deal on my tints which saved me a few bucks. They also offer car audio services, which I will definitely be returning for!

Reached out 4 times over the past week and a half. Was told multiple times i would get a response back, I emailed photos and even my Vin. Nothing back every time I reached out. Sucks because the place had great reviews and I was hoping to get not only my motorcycle but my suv audio set up. Based on their poor communication I ll take my business somewhere else. Really unfortunate.

These guys are the best at what they do. They updated my 2017 F-150 with a Sony touchscreen. Customer service was amazing and installation was great. The perfect touch at the end was them taking the time to walk me through the upgrade; making sure I was comfortable with everything before I left.

These folks are top notch. They upgraded the stereo in my 22 year old truck, did an awesome job with the installation and a walk-thru to make sure it was configured to my style. I also had them tint my windows and they did an outstanding job. Hands down the entire experience was amazing, and the staff was super friendly and helpful througouth the entire process.

I brought my new car to be tinted, my 3rd car to be tinted here. Unfortunately when I arrived I noticed some new scratches on the car. Parish took the time to review video to help determine the cause which we were unable to do. My wife and I were upset but didn t know the cause ourself. Some weeks passed and I received a call from Parish. He had a car experience some of the same small scratches in a similar area and was able to pinpoint the cause. He then set me up with a local shop who took care of the minor paintwork and they also did an excellent job (C.G. Paint Worx). It is rare to find a business that does excellent work along with transparency and honesty, putting the customer first. I will always return with future vehicles and highly recommend them to all friends and family!

I went to OCALA CAR AUDIO on 8/18/23 and requested from Mr.Terrence Mariani what I was looking for in my car audio system,and to my surprise Mr.Mariani did not attempt to persuade me to purchase the most expensive speakers on the market,on the contrary,Mr.Mariani was very familiar with the sound system that i had in my Lexus, suggested that I purchase another set of speakers than the expensive ones that I wanted,and when i installed them in my car that was exactly the sound that I was looking for,thank you very much for showing me that you guy's know your customers needs an are able to meet them.

I had a built-in Passport radar detector installed in my car. And this was not your "average" installation. The work was done flawlessly and with precision. Parish Tanner provided one-on-one amazing customer service. Anytime I have had a problem (with the unit), they are completely there to fix the issue. The prices were excellent and the service was amazing. I would have no hesitation in recommending Ocala Car Audio to my friends and have already done so. I am exceptionally pleased with the work they have done. Mr. Tanner is honest and professional. He goes out of his way to make sure that the client is happy. You just cannot ask for anything else.
