Protech Car Stereo & Alarm

I was looking at stores, and this one is far the best, fast service and you can also lower the price with Joe. When my subs didn’t fit in a box, he sat down and cut the box alittle bit, while I was waiting there was a tester for subs and other mid-​ranges so I wouldn’t get bored. High quality box for a great price. Went back to get tint for my windows and again Joe gave a good price for good tint. I like 15 min. away from Protech and will be back for any of my audio need.

Didn’t really know what to expect since the shop was pretty small, but I was impressed with the whole experience, gotta say I love my new lights and installation was very quick.

Support a small and honest business, Check this place out, you will not be disspointed!
My story… I was recomended by my friend here. I gave this place a shot and ever since then, i have been a long time costumer.
About 5 months ago, I bought a convertible car. (my story will not have grammar beyond this point just fyi.) The day after i bought it i had joes guys working on it I had paid a reasonable price for his products He offers lifetime warranty on tint btw Anyways before we made the agreement he and i agreed that i was going to pay for him to tint ALL my windows except the back one but only because i was going to get the top replaced he had told me that when my top was replaced just to bring in my car and he would tint it since i had already paid for it to reassure me he had wrote that on the receipt anyways long story short i had taken months to replace my top and sure enough right after i took my car back to joes for him to honor his word even after it had been months after and i admit i was worried when i took my car back because i had lost my receipt well when i got there he said he did not remember that specific agreement nonetheless he told me he would honor what he had said in the past
I must admit i blamed myself for loosing the receipt and felt bad for it but did not feel bad as his guy worked on my car. Why because i was not lying to joe it was the truth afterall i am a catholic
Ever since that incident, Joe has earned my business. Stop by sometime to check out his business. He is an honorable business man.

Joe is the man had my car stereo installed. It unexpectedly stop working brought car back and he replaced it wth a smile. Great customer sevice

I have been going to Joe for 3 years now he as always had the best pricing great service has the best window tint an his techs know what they are doing! I send all my friends to joes for tint an sounds. Hands down best shop to go to !!

I took my jeep here to have the windows tinted and they did a great job. Joe was amazing. Plus their prices are very very reasonable.

this little stereo shop rocks… I needed a new stereo box installed in my glove compartment… another shop quoted me $ 100… & joe the owner of this shop did it for $ 20 w great fast service… super nice people ;))

Got an auxiliary cord installed in my 2005 Scion xA. Love it. They did it for a pottery good price.

I’ve always come here whenever I need my bulb replacement & their service is remarkably incredible, this place is the place to go if you want to get your car tinted, to getting help fixing wires, installing HIDs, Car stereos etc. This is the place to go to!
Joe is quiet helpful and very
, Joe! ^^

Got my alarm and fog lights as a gift, and have been back 3 times for them to fix things that seem to me should have been taken care of my first visit… I like JOE but your staff and their service I’m on the fence, they act like without Joe in the shop no decisions can be made. Will keep coming for now but you can bet your butt I’ll be looking to return to my old shop in Newport Beach… peace

I come here for most of all my vehicles from stereo. installation, alarms n window tint… joe gave me great deals n outstanding service .I highly reccomend this shop …

Customer service, printing and quality of work is supper! Joe is a straight out owner and he delivers on his promise to have your car ready at the time he tells you. Very professional. I recommended to anyone who is looking to get quality work on a budget!!!

Joe the owner is always very kind and helpful… workers know exactly what they are doing. Prices can’t be beat plus everything comes with a warranty. I use to have HID headlights and when one blew out he replaced it. Plus now he has LED headlights which are brighter and help if you have your front windshield tinted like me.

Please! Reviewers must be relatives. I dropped my car off first thing in the morning to have a stereo & speakers installed, and have the windows tinted. They told me to come back at lunch to pick it up. Tried calling to verify the car was ready, but nobody would answer the phone. Had someone take me there at lunch, but it wasn’t done. Was told to come back at 4pm. Came back at 4pm, and had to wait another 1.5 hours to finally get my car. Horrible service!
Tint started peeling off after less than a year, so I took it back. Owner won’t even look you in the eye, or come out from behind the boxes if he thinks there might be a problem he has to deal with. He had someone else go look at the damaged goods. After the inspection, the owner told me he would fix it if I waited. When it was actually time to fix it he came out to look & tried to tell me the one window that was bad was done somewhere else — so he won’t fix it. Bad enough he won’t stand behind his work, but the fact that he will outright lie to get out of taking responsibility is pathetic. I will never go the Pro-​Tech Car Stereo again for any reason. Go anywhere else! They Price was reasonable, but horrible service.

Eric was a great help. I bought a cd player/​radio from bestbuy and needed a quick installation. These guys were able to do it same day, (in less than an hour). As I waited, i jumped on their free wifi and watched a movie. The price was right and the service was fast. I would come here again. Parking is a bit tight there, but other than that, it’s a thumbs up for me!

Went here to get some special equipment installed. Had to wait a little while as they didn’t start right at my appointment time, but the reasonable price and a job well done made up for it! The installer, Carlos, really did a great job. Not only installed my custom part but fixed the botched up alarm job I had previously done at ‘Al & Eds’
If you want to save yourself money and get it done right, try this place out.

Awesome place! Joe the owner is cool, I’ve been going there for years, high quality tint jobs and great prices on other equipment and labor granted you can go to a high priced place and get quality work done there too, but why give someone an extra few hundred of your hard earned dollars

Fast service and love the work

Love there service.
Fast, friendly and good prices.

I love this place! The owner, Joe, is a great guy who gave me a really good deal! His employee, Eric, was really nice and installed my alarm within thirty minutes. If you’re looking for a job well done on a budget, come here! To the reviewer who left one star, I’m sorry you had such a bad run! I guess every small business has its bad day! But I had a really positive experience and will be a loyal customer from now on!

MOST FRUSTRATING 10 HOUR EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE.
My baby, my g-​ryde needed to get its sounds fixed (bass was cutting in & out) & a new alarm system.
Key Points:
— nice manager, willing to make a deal
— bad communication (left me in the dark for hours)
— rude mechanics did a rushed, incomplete, unprofessional job
— busy wkends
— free wifi
9:00 am — I came here because my brother recommended it (he’s a loyal customer who’s gotten good deals over the years). Since I knew this place would be busy on Saturday, I came early (30 mins before they opened at 9:30) to ensure I’d be the 1^st customer in & the 1^st one out.
Once they were ready, they quickly trouble-​shooted the problem: the wires were loose and needed to be adjusted. In addition to installing an alarm, I asked to get a second amp for my interior sounds but requested that my pre-​existing kill switch only be applied to my subs in the back. Joe (the owner) assured me they would install it so that the new amp would stay on while the old one would have to be turned on/​off manually with my switch.
Luckily, my brother was able to work out a deal so that it would be cheaper than Joe’s initial estimate. Or so I thought…
1:01 pm — They informed me that one of my speakers on the dash were busted so I ended up getting a new set. Since I waited patiently, Joe let me talk down the price.
2:33 — Joe told me my car was done. I paid and went to my car. It was not ready.
3:00 — After seeing customers and cars roll in and out, I go to the garage and ask one of the mechanics eating his lunch how much longer they think they will be. He seems unsure and says it’ll be done soon. Joe sees me and informs me that the RCA cables weren’t good and needed to be completely replaced. Since I was waiting patiently, he told me not to worry about the cost and went back to the office. Hungry, I asked another mechanic for an estimate so I could see if I should eat. He says another hour.
3:30 — I come back with my brother. He says it’ll be another 40 minutes to an hour. We stand outside and watch him complete the job.
4:10 — They finish. He quickly put everything back into place (with the way he was handling my car, I was worried he was going to break the vents for my AC!). None of the debris from the job were cleaned out and the stuff from my glove compartment was scattered all over the passenger seat and floor. He even made a rude comment about my belongings in the car! Another mechanic complained about how my car took the whole day to fix. Annoyed, I drove off.
As I drove home, I realized they did not properly connect the sounds. They connected the new amp to the kill switch, something I specifically instructed them not to do. I went back and parked my car in the garage and told the mechanic that my sounds on the interior were not supposed to be connected to the kill switch.
I’m guessing he thought I was some ignorant little girl because he talked me in a condescending manner. As if he knew everything and like I knew nothing, he said that if I was going to have a kill switch, then ALL the sounds in the car would turn off when I turned off the switch. I told him it wasn’t supposed to be wired that way and that that wasn’t the agreement. He said it would be easy to fix but told me he had other cars to work on and that I had to come back on Monday.
I WAS HOT!!!
4:18 — I went to the office but only Joe’s wife (I’m assuming that’s who she was) was there. I remained calm but explained to her why I was upset. She didn’t seem to understand the technical work that needed to be done but even she thought it was ridiculous my car wasn’t done after 7 hours. She didn’t know what to do so she told me to wait for Joe to come in about 30 minutes.
MY PATIENCE WAS WEARING THIN.
Another worker (Eric) came and talked to me. He remembered me from the morning, apologized for the inconvenience, and tried to quell my frustration and anger. I insisted I would not return on Monday and he assured me that the job would be completed by the end of the day. I knew they didn’t have the power to talk to the mechanics the way Joe could so I had no choice but to wait.
4:50 — Joe comes. My brother tells him what the mechanic said and Joe replies, «Well, I wasn’t here.» (implying he didn’t authorize it). In an effort to be productive, I work on my laptop & learned they had free wifi!
5:22 — Joe tells me my car is done. My brother pops the hood and sees that one of the pieces covering the engine was not properly put in place (it literally would’ve slid off) and the cables were not mounted securely (it could’ve got caught in the belt).
I cleaned out the debris and my brother had to fix the subs in the back and re-​mount the wires & cover under the hood. Since the mechanics were in such a hurry, they didn’t even tune the amp correctly. We’re going to have to do that ourselves later.
7:00 — We finished THEIR job!
Verdict: The deal wasn’t worth the hassle.
