Misleading

by Tiphany82

My husband had made an appointment to install a car stereo and a subwoofer in our car. He had made the appointment days ahead of time given that Fresno is over an hour drive from us. My husband left the car with them and figuring it would be a few hours based on the time we had this same equipment installed in our brothers car when he graduated (now he's leaving for the Air Force).The guy that he left the car with said it would be a couple hours. Unfortunately four hours was not enough time to install anything and another guy sounded like they needed all day to finish the car. This is the part that I found disheartening: They told my husband that IF HE WOULD HAVE BOUGHT THE STEREO FROM THEM THE WORK COULD HAVE BEEN DONE FASTER. Me being pregnant and enraged, I called them up right away against my husbands wishes and said that I was angry and that I felt bad that we trusted them ecspecially after seeing the fish symbol on their card which represents Christianity. He was very taken back by this comment and said "If you were a Christian you would forgive." I said I forgive you but I still plan on writing a truthfull review. So here I am.

• Pros: convienient location
• Cons: Nothing got done, they overbooked themselves, they favor clients who buy their own products first

My .02 all the way from TX.

I know I'm a little late writing this, but I just had to respond to the negative review posted by nopay. I live in Texas now and have no personal or financial stake in California Car Stereo. I am just a past customer that knows BS when I see it. First, let me explain my experience with CCS. I had been shopping around for quite a while pricing a stereo for my car. I had recieved about 5 estimates before going to CCS. The guys at CCS were only going to charge me about half of what the others were going to charge. Then they saved me some more money by talking me out of wasing money on certain components that I didnt really need. After saving about $600, my stereo sounded way better than I thought it would. I had a few issues with some brackets holding my box, and the guys at CCS fixed it with no hassle at all. Now after saving me a bunch of money, when they clearly could have socked it to me, I dont see how anybody could call these guys crooks. Nopay states that he knows for a "fact" that his component was bought off of ebay. The only way you could know for a fact is if you A) saw Enrique purchase it off of ebay, orB) were the person who sold it to him off of ebay. You are placing your presumption on second hand information probably given to you buy a disgruntled employee or somebody who has an axe to grind. Although I highly doubt somebody stole the $50 out of your coin purse, it was pretty dumb to leave it in there. Maybe somebody thought it was a tip? If it is true, then hopefully you learned a lesson.

Moral of the story is that the guys at California Car Stereo treated me great and gave me an awesome deal. If you want a sweet sounding stereo at a very good price, then I highly recomend California Car Stereo.

Just my .02.

• Pros: Great stereos at a great price.
• Cons: They are 1600 miles away. JK. None

my challenge to the customer with bad review

by californiacarstereo

Hello to those who read our reviews, thank you for your interest in our company and to Scott for lettings us know about this bad review. My name is Enrique I am not the owner, but I am his son. I want to issue a challenge to the customer with the bad review, first the company name is California Car Stereo, not California car sound. Second, we do not sell any refurbished product in our store; everything is brand new and has a one year or two year full coverage warranty. Third my family has built this store on honesty and high quality work with fair prices. I have never stole anything from any customer and I am truly hurt that some one would accuse me or my workers of being thieves, we pay our workers well and I high doubt that they would risk their job with great pay and full health, dental and vision for $50. My challenge is if any customer or the person below ever our not happy with our service give us the chance to fix it, if we can't I will give you $150 cash in your hand, out of my own pocket. This is how much I believe in our service and install. This is a Christen built business and will be for as long as we own it. We thank GOD and our customers for our business success, thank you and please take the challenge.

• Pros: we our godly people and Professionals
• Cons: none
