I purchased a radio and the accompanying dash kit about three months ago, and while the install took a while, I was very happy with the folks that helped me. However, right after the install, a strange humming sound was present. I tried to ignore it. However, last Wednesday (2/11 at 328pm) the AC and heater controls began to malfunction. They would go from full power to half power and wouldn't let me turn it off. I immediately called and asked if it could be looked at. The gentleman I spoke to said to bring it in. I explained that I worked in Longview and wouldn't be able to until the weekend. He then said to bring it in on Sunday at they are never very busy. So i brought it in today 2/15. I spoke to Jasmine and explained that the gentleman told me to bring it in today. I got a strange look after which she told me bluntly that she doesn't have the staff to take a look at it right then. She then said I could drop it off but it might take all day. I explained that I'd have to pay to Uber home and come back she didn't seem to care. She dismissed the fact that I was told to bring it in, basically ignoring my statement. I explained that I live in Vancouver and work in Longview so I don't have time to bring it back anytime soon. She said she could set an appointment for a week out, and I explained that it works be extremely challenging since I would have to bring my children with me. At that point she was just staring at me impatiently. So I accepted the appointment. No attempt to acknowledge the malfunctioning equipment they installed. I'm extremely disappointed with the lack of care in this situation. I just want my truck fixed, something I didn't break or damage.

I also got my remote start from them which has made life so much more peaceful during cold weather ❤️ you guys rock!
Thank you to the great installer Jacob. He installed our car cameras perfectly! The installation was very meticulously and well done. It was clear he knew a lot about electronics and making it work for us. Thank you to Jacob and all the other guys at Car Toys.
Decent and I mean DECENT quality of all they do. And incredibly expensive. Bought a $300 stereo from them and the finale install price was $1300. $1000 in misc. parts & $600 of it in labor? They had my vehicle for a few hours. I wish I went to another audio shop so I would be charged a reasonable price. Unfortunately with no way to contact management with new ownership there is no resolution to my problem. Hence my last resort to leave this review.
Service person, John, were very nice and accommodated me with my Groupon. They called to say they had to charge me $80 extra for pet fur and I understand that though it seemed a bit high. Exterior looks fantastic and interior looks nice with no noticeable pet fur. However the weather tech mats still looked dirty despite he said they were pressure washed. Also they said it would be done by 3 or 4. When I called after 5 they wanted me to leave it overnight. I said I needed it before closing. Maybe shortcutted at the end?
