My experience was top notch. They explained everything to me, and helped me get my phone connected. The price for installation was very fair! Thank you!

Very happy with the install of an audio system Mel and his team made on my 08 BMW Convertible!! They ran into some issues with the top working correctly after the install, but they were determined to find, and resolve the issue. And they did! The top work great, and the audio system is amazing.Thanks to you and your team for all of your efforts and determination in resolving the issue.

Great experience with C.A.R.S. Got my windows tinted and a new head unit installed. My old Toyota runs great but was looking a little sad inside and out. After the work done here, my car has entered the 21st century. I am in love with the old girl again. Really enjoyed working with both Jason and Rommel. They both went above and beyond my expectations. These guys won t let you down.

Very happy, in fact ecstatic with backup camera and apple carplay added to our 03 Avalanche. These guys are amazing, especially Jason. Going back for more upgrades next week and also taking in 2nd car. Great customer service!

The whole team at CARS- top notch! I reached out to them from out of town and Rommel (owner) reached back to me personally. Listened to what I was looking for, gave me answers and multiple options to choose from. Coming from out of town, I had to wait a week for a weekend appointment, and through this period, Rommel kept in touch with me periodically and still answered all my new questions. Once at the appointment, the atmosphere was great, very welcoming and they all entertained my questions and old school references. Left feeling very pleased with my purchase and service! What was installed: DD Audio LE-512D Loaded Enclosure with a DD Audio D600 Monoblock Amplifier. All connected to a factory installed Bose premium sound system. Much needed bass for my large SUV! Highly recommend CARS for your stereo inquiries and installation! They ll even take care of you after the initial install you re a customer for life here.

Mel and his team are professional, extremely knowledgeable, and very friendly. Quick turnaround from first meeting to install. Prices are reasonable and worth it for the expertise they provide. They replaced my OEM infotainment unit with a new one and everything works perfectly. They did a fantastic job and I will be using them again for future projects.

Wow where do I begin I took my 2012 Dodge Durango to them my stereo was very basic it only had a CD player SXM and that was it... I don't have high mileage on my car but I wanted a new stereo they put in a new touchscreen stereo it has Bluetooth Sirius XM and they also installed a backup camera I love it! My mom was so impressed she's going Monday to have a backup camera installed in her car too! The guys were super friendly and the mechanic did a great job!Update: Before and After pics

Called Mel to inquire about some additional stereo options for my son s vehicle after a rough experience with a different local retailer in recent weeks and he was absolutely engaging in convo over phone twice to hear my disgruntlement and even offered to stay late after hours to wait for me to make it to his shop in accident-stopped traffic. That was yesterday. Today I stopped by his store while working close by and he along with his staff were the antithesis of the experience and brush off received by prior establishment.Totally laid back; sat down in his waiting area with me while phones were ringing off the hook and customers were entering just to hear and offer advice on the next steps of a higher quality and better sounding setup. Answered my unending list of questions and actually talked me out of making a more expensive investment, instead consulting me into a make-to-order speaker option that after researching this evening myself proves to be exponentially better in quality and design for my particular needs. He even called someone within the company after hours directly to get my order placed today so I didn t lose extra lead time. That s service and genuine empathy if I ve ever seen such! Can t wait to have my son s new (upgraded) upgrade installed to hear money well spent with a stand up local family business owner. Will posts pics once finished up and can say to all with full confidence he is the one you want working with you on anything audio or tint related.Thanks Mel! You ve got a fantastic operation to be very proud of.

Dude said my speakers were blown I went home got in touch with mtx who made my amp and threw email and record what my sound was and they helped me out so if you want to give your blown speakers to these guys hit me up first because he sure don't no what there talking about nothing was wrong with my speakers. (Dude you didn't read this correctly nobody said nothing about my amp mtx because it was my speakers. Mtx was mentioned because they helped me you told me my speakers where blown because the sound they made. You couldn't tell me what was wrong. Also I don't work for anyone i have lived in Charleston longer then your business has been in operation here. There isn't anything fake here except you ppl I wonder how many ppl you told that too. There speakers are blown and you don't no what your talking about and you want to call someone fake. Just look at your business i can fact check this and proof I'm real.)

The customer service here is amazing . I brought several of my cars here including my parents too . I send everyone here for tint, LED headlights and car audio. The owner and the technician are very knowledgeable and the young lady up front is always plesant. Best place around Charleston. Thank you for all you do.

Cars843 installed an apple car play radio and a rear camera connected to a digital mirror allowing us to see without having windows on the back doors of the van. We went to multiple shops some rejected the job or quoted very expensive but Cars843 was fairly priced, attentive to our needs, and set a day a few days after our meeting and finished the job in just a few hours. Would highly recommend them all my friends and family!

This review is so long overdue, my apologies to the owners/managers of C.A.R.S.!My husband and I both had dashcams installed here about two years ago. We had appointments on different days due to differing schedules, but they were able to fit us each in relatively quickly after calling for an appointment. I'll speak for my own experience moving forward, but upon arrival, there is a comfortable waiting area with a Keurig, and everyone is super friendly. Everything went great with installation, and although my car is leased, they assured me that if I did not buy out my lease, they'd assist in removal before lease turn-in. (I'm buying out my car anyway.)A couple of months ago, I started having issues with my dashcam and did some troubleshooting before I realized I needed them to look at it. It's important to note that C.A.R.S. did not sell me the dashcam, so the dashcam's failures had nothing to do with them or their installation.I made an appointment for a day or two later and headed up there, this time at a new location a little bit down the road from their old location. Again, everyone was friendly and welcoming, and I got to pet a cute dog, so that's a bonus.No joke, I think I had sat down for about 90 seconds when they called me back to my car so they could demonstrate the problem. Long story short, the dashcam mount had failed, so I just needed to order a new one ($15 part), which I could install myself.I asked what the charge would be for their work, as I did take up their time and space, but they assured me it was no charge. They also offered to help if I could not get it working with the new mount.I greatly appreciate this kind of customer service, which is sorely lacking nowadays. I highly recommend that anyone needing any dashcam, audio, or security work done on their vehicle make an appointment!

My car is of course extremely important to me so I did my due diligence in finding the best of the best in Charleston. CARS is it. Don't waste your time looking elsewhere, just trust all these 5 star reviews. They earned every single one, including mine. Couldn't be happier with the entire process.

I made an appointment to get my dash cam hardwired into my car. I was in and out in about an hour. The store is clean with a well stocked and comfortable wait area. The staff is professional, friendly, and highly skilled. The dash cam looks great and I never would have known there was any dash disassembly. Thank you for the fantastic job done on my car.

Mel was great in coordinating and setting up a time. They uninstalled my old dashcam and installed a new one. Everything looks clean and professional and they did it quickly for a very good price.

Always top notch service and install. Bought a sub from them for my new Dodge Charger. They installed into a custom box. Looks awesome and I know they installed it right.

Came in to get tint done. Left with tint and a sub woofer system... Employees here are friendly and very knowledgeable of their products... Will Def come back if I need anything else done to my car!

This is the shop I recommend to everyone. I ve gotten 2 tint jobs done, and one stereo installed by them. They are extremely professional and will not settle for anything less than perfect when it comes to getting your car right.They even offer lifetime warranty. After 4 years my 08 mustang had the tint start to bubble since they swapped suppliers way back. They happily removed the tint and replaced it with their new higher quality material free of charge. It s ready for another lifetime!Look no further for the right people to work on your car. The owner is extremely helpful and pleasant to talk to. 10/10 experience each time.

There's a reason this crew has the best ratings and reviews in the area.We are a professional automotive service that has done business with all of the large install companies in the Charleston area before coming to C.A.R.S.Mel and his team do outstanding work and we won't be going anywhere else for this work!

Great Service and great staff! Called Mel with a minor issue about my amp and got me in the next day! Fixed it with no problems at all at a very reasonable price. Had work done here before and they have always done a great job. Highly recommend to anyone in the Charleston area and will definitely be going back in the future!

Had a double din navigation head unit installed with a back up camera on an old f350 that didn't have any of that before. Could not be happier with the results. Very responsive and easy to work with.

I have taken my Kia to numerous places trying to get a new stereo and sub installed and noone wanted to touch my car. Got turned down repeatedly. Called this place and I was finally told yes for once. They did an absolutely amazing job on my new stereo system and sub. I'm finally happy and will recommend them to everyone and anyone. They are truly the best. Customer service is through the roof and hospitality is amazing. Don't shop anywhere else. This place will take care of you.

Excellent service and very professional. I purchased an automatic car starter and window tinting from CARS. The car starter has been an absolute dream and so easy to use. Love my new tinting and have felt an intense noticeable difference from the sun exposure/heat in my car since having it added on. My hour long drives from work to home are no longer annoying and uncomfortable. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for upgrades or services to their vehicle. Thanks guys!
