Cortes was fantastic. I have a 2004 Lexus SC430. Speakers were blown, no review camera or bluetooth. He quoted price and timing. Delivered on quote and on time. Also added in a window control. Very easy to work with and everything is great. Even helped ensure I could link the phone properly.

I took my car to 'The Install Shop' to get the dash cam troubleshooted. It was a very easy fix and Cortes did not charge me. He also answered other miscellaneous questions on my car and did not feel pressured at all. You can tell he's very knowledgeable and passionate about cars. Would come again.

I needed to have a back-up camera installed. I didn t know what I needed so he provided a few options with quotes over the phone. He ordered the part that day and scheduled me for an appointment. It took less than an hour to install and the camera works perfectly. The price was reasonable.

David was fantastic, he did a seamless job installing my front and rear dash cams. Wires were nowhere to be seen and worked immediately after installation. Also very nice person and talked me the whole way on how to use my dash cam! Would really recommend this place to anybody in need of some car installations!! Really hardworking guy!

Did a good job, price on the phone was different than the price charged, 2.5 hours to install an underbody light kit with no controller quoted $125, charged $180.00 for labor. Buyer beware.

Cortez did an amazing job on my son s custom ApplePlay head unit into a 2018 Toyota Tacoma. He was quick, clean, professional, and affordable. Also great communication which is rare these days. I trusted the great looking photos here on Google and glad I reached out. Cortez is your guy.

Came in to get a few things done for my car's infotainment system that involved custom electrical work. Cortes is very knowledgeable, patient and worked with me to get it working exactly as I wanted. Will be returning in the future!

Go see Cortez, he ll take care of you. I showed up without an appointment (you re supposed to have one) and he helped me right away. I was having strange issues with an after market stereo that wasn t turning on until the car warmed up. 20 minutes later he had it rewired and working great.

Absolutely loved the price and the results!!! Went in spent not even $200 to have a backup camera installed and maybe an hour at most was spent. And it works perfectly!!! Thank you

Genuine and honest! Our experience started and ended outside this owner s shop, and should make you feel confident about the expertise and integrity inside The Install Shop!We had just purchased a Lexus IS250 for my son heading to college and noticed smoke and a burning smell coming from the headlight area. Based on recommendations, we showed up the next day without an appointment at 9am. The owner had just opened up and took time to LISTEN to our problem, INVESTED TIME to to see where the smoke was coming from.In the end, we did made an appointment to diagnose and repair, but the owner provided a few ideas to troubleshoot before our appointment. This allowed us to identify/fix the problem ourselves.I m not saying this shop gives free advice, it s a business and his livelihood, but so many shops take advantage of these scenarios to overcharge and up-sell, but I appreciate this owner s approach to run a small business that builds trust with our community. We ll be back!

BEST SHOP IN TOWN. Wish I had more stars to give cause my experience with this guy has been awesome. I haven't had any big projects done by him YET. But I definitely will soon. My most recent experience with him was something simple that he did for FREE! I had a stripped bolt in my car that I couldn't get out for the life of me, called up this shop and he quoted me $60. Had a buddy take it in while I was at work. About 20 minutes later my buddy returned with my car and said he had got it out for free. Not many shops will do something like that! Even if it was easy for him to do, usually shops will find any reason to make an extra buck. Rightfully so, but all said and done I was absolutely amazed at the customer service from this shop. I will be coming here in the future for sure! Thank you guys so much! I appreciate it a lot!

I had an MPC Remote Starter Kit for a Mazda CX-9 2012 installed here. During the beginning of this process I was a bit weary of the business practices but with patience and more understanding on my end that weariness went away. I do recommend that the Install Shop, maybe, have a small contract at the beginning, signed by both parties, that could address how things are exactly to be done and paid but that is very minute recommendation.Cortez, the owner of Install Shop, went an extra mile in making sure we got the install right for the car, despite some inaccurate information I gave him and inaccurate information provided by the instructions of the MPC remote starter kit.I would recommend this technician to anyone needing any type of electrical 3rd party installations done to your vehicle. He has the experience and knowledge to see it through. HE'S ON IT!I also got some personal insight on him that truly has enlightened me.Cortez, thank you for your service!

Awesome service! Very friendly, informative and honest. Comfy waiting area with snacks and beverages and TV. He finished so fast I didn't finish my popcorn. 100/10 service. Swapped my stock 07 Sentra stereo for Boss Touch screen stereo.

Best prices in town, HANDS DOWN! I had an after market radio system installed that included installation for bluetooth, SiriusXM, and backup camera accessories. Cortez was extremely professional, completed everything in under 2 hours, checked out my 'check engine light', and took time to go through the system with me. He kept with his original quote, even though he needed to add/modify some of the items I brought in - charging over $100 LESS than 6 competitors. Will be back for anything else I need.

I couldn t have asked for a better experience! I have a 98 Chevy Silverado that has seen 20 Texas summers , so the dashboard is brittle and fragile . Cortez did an amazing job working around a difficult dashboard and he is a pretty cool dude to talk to. Support your local businesses! Thanks.

Everybody quoted prices off the roof....this shop very professionally, courteously took care of me last week. They built my sub box, wired my sub and all for about half what the other popular guys quoted me. Highly recommended

Would easily go back to this shop for anything I needed in the future. Cortez, the owner, helped me out and made everything an easy process. 10 times out of 10 I would go here again and recommend any one I know to him. He s a jack of all trades and he can install anything you need, and not just with cars. Thanks again Cortez!
