I took my 1979 Camaro to get a new stereo and speakers replaced. Some guy by the name of Nich asked me if I needed help aand I told him what I needed. He gave me a price to have my stereo and speakers done for 300 dollars but that was a little over my budget so he gave me a lower model with same speakers for $248 which I accepted. I had the penny saver in my hand so I asked Nich how much was he charging me for the unit and he said 69 dollars. I was like you have a higher model advertised for 47 dollars why dont he swap it but he said that if I wanted it I needed to pay 20 dollars difference? I started to notice some "mickey Mouse" going on when he was charging me 100 bucks just for the stereo and the speakers but 150 dollars install but since I already paid I didn't want to make a big deal out of it. HE TELLS ME THAT THE ADD IN THE PENNY SAVER IS JUST TO BRING CUSTOMERS THAT THE PRICES ARE NOT REAL!!! (I should of walked away but since i already paid..)
After 3 hours my car was done and when I first opened the door I noticed my center console scratched and I called out Nich to report the damage. He looked at it and told me "oh that was already there, look at the other damage inside your car" I told him I drive this car every day and that was not there. He told me again there is nothing much he can do and started to walk away. I was pretty upset so I got in my car and drove away. No less than 50 feet away my new stereo just caved inside the dash! I make a Uturn went back and told them about it. Right away they take the car in and started to work on it. I am on the phone with my wife telling her what had happened and Nich comes out with a camera and started to take pictures of the areas that are messed up inside my car (its a 31 yr old car so there is a lot of wear and tear folks). After they are done I notice my stereo is only picking 2 stations so i told Nich and he said to read the manual. I was like " I need a manual to scan for radio stations?" but I left since I was way beyond pissed already.
When I get home I checked the back of the stereo and the antenna wire is just mickey mouse with electrical tape and my neon head lights were not working. I looked under and found they have unplugged the wire during the install. I decide to go back and complaint one more time. I asked Nich what was going on and without even looking at me told me to come back tomorrow. At that point I lost it and told him if you don't fix my car now I will file a complaint with the BBB and the State divison. THEN he looks at me with a little smile on his face and tells me you can do that and I will take a look at your car NEXT MONTH. We started to argue right in the show room and dares to kick me out saying get the F out of here! I refused and started to talk to him about the crappy job they did. There was a FVPD outside and I wanted to run to get the officer but he tried to calm the fumes down. I just left and will never return again. I filed a report with the BBB and california BAR. Hopefully they will lose their license and go out of bussines!
