      ****, 
      I apologize for the experience you are having.  At the store level we do have a process we follow when property is damaged. It sounds like your claim was denied. If there was an employee who owned to this damage happening during our possession, then there is another matter. Can you give me a few days to follow up with the store and investigate a little further? Again, I do apologize for your experience.

      On Friday the 19th of January, 2023 I brought my **** ***** Accord to Car Toys in **********, ** for a 1pm ignition interlock installation. Up until this point the car was not experiencing any issues. As soon as I got my keys back and got in the car after the installation, I noticed the D4 light flashing. Assuming this was a minor electrical inconvenience I got on the highway to discover my car was unable to shift. I quickly took it back to car toys. The technician looked at it and pointed out that I was low on transmission fluid and said it was leaking, displaying some spots on the ground which appeared within 5 minutes of my car sitting there. This seemed reasonable so I left. After adding transmission fluid, the car was not fixed. However, it was not leaking any fluid. In fact, after letting it sit overnight with cardboard under it there was still no leakage. On Thursday, February 1st, I took my car back to that location to get my device removed. While there I explained my situation to the manager who wrote it off as bad luck and coincidental poor timing. Well, coincidentally enough, as soon as the device was removed, my car began to function perfectly fine again. While the manager claims he is calling his superiors at the moment, Im annoyed that when I initially mentioned the problem after my installation, they made up some silly excuse. And prior to removal, when I was telling the manager what had occurred, he said it wasnt their fault. I had to push back court dates and purchase a new car because mine didnt work after Car Toys worked on it. And when they reversed their work the car regained its function. I did not regain my money or time though.

      Im all around upset and now out of money. I purchased a remote start for my gfs vehicle. Before purchasing this I told the guys that this engine is going to get swapped. They said if the battery is taken out ok long it might need to be reprogrammed afterwards but just bring it by and we will do it for free since it has a life time warranty on product and labor. Long story short, I followed instructions, the guys did everything they could and even called tech support and can not figure out what the problem is on reprogramming this but it wont work. I requested to talk to the district manager and I never received a call. Not only do I have the device of remote start in her vehicle but it is not working and I am out of that money. They said if I wanted a different remote start I would have to pay for it. That is not customer service or okay with me. I paid for it. It is not my fault they cant figure it out, they are professionals in this area. They need to make it right rather than blaming on the shop that did my engine swap. Also not hearing back from the regional or district manager is very irritating.

      Hi-I've looked so many times on your guys website to find out how to schedule an install for my daughter's car stereo but I can't find anything. When you click on book a service all it does is take you to a store locator. How can I schedule stereo install? Do you need the car info, stereo info? I'm getting ready to just return them and go to Best buy, way easier to get answers and it's obvious how to schedule the install. I've had troubles calling to find out what dash adapters to buy, finally went in to a store, sat for way too long while they called every store looking for parts. Had to go get the parts across town, then when I picked up the parts I had to pay for at a totally different store, the receipt didn't even have the product info on it, so had issues getting the parts from the store that had them in stock because obviously the guy that was on the phone with the guy I was dealing with didn't actually grab the parts and set them at the counter. I'm just getting frustrated and after Christmas I don't want to wait weeks or months to have these installed. I'm really hoping someone reads this who gives a ****, because so far all I've dealt with is younger kids with attitudes and I'm about done. I need a reasonable adult to talk to about what to do next. I've heard from someone at work that it could possibly be a first come first serve type place but that doesn't make sense, what is this the ********** of car stereos? So what drive down every morning at 8am to wait in line until you get picked?? I mean c'mon. That can't be.Sorry for my attitude here, I realize none of this is your fault at all. I'm just reaching my limit. I really hope you can set me straight on how to proceed. I hope your having a great Christmas season!!I really appreciate you help!!Take care ******

      To Who It May ****************** apologize about any confusion with our free install promotion when Mr. ****** purchased the product online.

      Both radios that were purchased include basic installation build into the radio and each unit came with a free back up camera.

      Our promotion doesnt include free install on the camera and can range anywhere from $175 and up pending vehicle.

      Also online when both stereos were purchased it states additional parts or labor would be needed, every vehicle and features are different.

      Here is the link copied from our website.

      Our store manager did contact ****************** and offered a discount on some parts and installation to help the customer, but it was refused.

      We apologize about appointment times, usually after Christmas all customers try to get their presents installed and we usually inform customers if they can leave it and will call when done.

      Looking at the records of what was bought online which are two stereos and 3 parts from our North ******* store in amount totaling of $841.61.

      ****************** has 30-days to return his product if he chooses that route and can get his full refund back.

      Please let us know how you would like to proceed.

      DISCLAIMER
      FREE installation is currently offered for this product. FREE same day installation of receiver will be available with purchase online or in-store. A $125 value. *Includes standard receiver installation in most vehicles. Additional parts and labor including receiver harnesses and kits, if needed, are extra.

      Complete timeline attached via pdf Sat, 10/21/2023 Met *****, store manager. I said I was interested in the mid-priced package. He insisted I buy what he had in his car. Include (on his car) remote start, alarm w/ siren, doors lock/unlock, 2-way pager, GPSs tracking and basically indestructible.As hes upselling, he was also generating the bill so I know the cost. A technician named **** is up front telling him to bump up hours for install three times until **** is happy with hours for install.Tells me $1,796.76. I said its too high, he offers 1 set of free 6x9 speakers. I said Ill buy 1 more set since I have 4 speakers and dont want only 2 new ones.My wife said she would buy it as my coworker got his truck stolen a week ago, I asked them is it really 6x9s front and rear? ***** said, Oh yeah, of course. So, I agree to leave my truck that same day around 10:30 am. I called around 3:38 pm to get status. The front desk staff said that **** wasnt able to work on installing the alarm until 12pm or so, they are still working on it. I called again around 4:10pm. And they finally said I can pick it up. That is about 4 hours of work and I was charged $800 for labor on the invoice. I arrived to pick up my vehicle between 4-5pm. When I got in, I picked up my remote and told them they installed the wrong alarm. *****, another technician that was there at that time said that it was **** that installed the alarm.***** told me to write a negative review on ****** and mention that **** f*** up and to mention that ***** will fix ***** mess up. ***** encouraged us to talk negatively about his colleague online. **** was not at the store that afternoon. They said to come back in a few hours and they will swap the remote start. I said to please keep overnight to not rush the job and test out the cold start function. So, I left my truck at their shop overnight.There are questionable items on the invoice and the paperwork for the warranty we paid for was not provided.

      To Whom It May ***************** apologize for any inconvenience and pricing concern that ******************** has brought up to our attention.

      Looking at the invoice and what was done seems like the work performed and charged was properly quoted being that we installed a remote start/alarm and being its a manual vehicle which takes more work to complete.

      ******************* is stating that the store was quoting out on hourly charge, which shouldnt have been the case since we only charge per hour when we are trouble shooting only.  We quote and work on vehicle per job not per hour, talking to the store and shop manager the installer did work on the vehicle for 5hrs to complete the job.

      Being that we did quote on hourly charge and can see where confusion came from I will honor the hourly charge which was $140 per hour, installer work on the car for 5 hours which equals to $700.
      Total labor charged amount was $900, we are offering ******************** $230 plus tax refund for miss understating per hour vs job install.

      The matter of which ******************** stated about certain names of installers and what was said will be internally investigated.  ******************** also requested an invoice of his purchase, we will email a receipt.

      Again sorry for any inconvenience that this has caused,and hope ******************** is happy with the system that was installed.  ******************** will want to reach out or come into the store so we can refund him the funds.

      Thanks,

      You state my vehicle is a manual transmission. It's not. It's automatic. So that means you charge me the rate of the wrong transmission which it's hard to see. Unless your trying to get the maximum hours on it. Again. Car toys trying to cover up after themselves. I also have pictures of work youve done on my families vehicles like their backup cameras where you striped part of the wire and electrical taped your wire on to activate the reverse camera.

      I took my car to get my door speakers replaced. I got no interest financing through the bank they have advertised. After they did the install, they showed me that the speakers sounded terrible and said it was because my amp had gone bad. They said the best way to fix this was by getting a new *********** radio. I asked if I could just replace the amp and they said getting the radio was a much better way to do it. I caved and bought the radio. Luckily they didnt have the install kit and told me it would be a few days. In those few days I did research and talked to some people and found out that my amp was perfectly good. The reason the speakers sounded bad was because they wired my speakers incorrectly. I went back to car toys and asked that they check their work. They insisted I have them check the work before they install the new radio because everything will already be taken apart. The day of my appointment I show up and tell them I dont want the radio and I want to return it. I put it on the counter and they took it behind the counter. They took my keys to check their work and preceded to help the next customers. I waited for about 1.5 hours to get my car back. I was just handed my keys and told they were done. No mention of the problem being fixed or not. I took my keys, went to my car and checked my speakers. They worked perfectly fine now. So I left. Now I get my statement for the financing and they full charge is there. The return I asked for had never been done. I call the store and speak with the manager and he tell me that it is my fault the return never got done. I didnt check with them and that he can only do the return in person. I told him that I have moved during this time so it will be a 4 hour round trip to go there in person. He reassured me it was my fault and there is absolutely nothing he can do. They have my phone number. Once he realized my return had never been done and I had left, he could have called me. But decided not to.

      My car was worked on for a broken tweeter frame, located by me because i heard some movement, so i removed the housing cover of my driver side tweeter, (left side of the front of the vehicle dashboard) and when i opened it, i found out the tweeter had fallen off the frame because the frame was missing a support frame to hold on to the frame of the car. So i had it replaced under warranty at the ********* location in ******. When they replaced the frame of the tweeter, i had no issues and moved on in life, up until today, i heard some static from the tweeter. Once again i opened the housing cover for the same tweeter, only to find the tweeter fell off again, only this time it wasnt because of the frame, but because they hot glued the whole bottom of the tweeter, and having to clean all the old hot glue and the frame and the metal cover lid out of the housing compartment. Further more, the hot glue had melted the plastic frame som bad, that it broke the plastic holding onto the metal frame to hold the tweeter, which caused the tweeter to fall off, abd this couldve damaged the tweeter. I will be going back to that store and ask for a replacement at no charge due to the poor work performed on the tweeter. If denied i will not want to use my purchased warranty for this isnt considered a warranty option due to the potential risk of their work damaging the product. I spent 980 dollars on those focals, only for someone to have potentially ruin what i paid for. If they deny me i will have to reult in legal action.

      While using this business car toys to have a stereo installed into a car my car was damaged. The front dash was cracked and three to four pieces were missing. We very calmly discuss this with the local store and management team and they agreed to fix the vehicle. They said it would take a week to 2 weeks after the second week we called and they said the part had not arrived. After the third week they said there was a mist delivery. They then said that they would try to get a part locally and repair the issue of the crack in a sensor that had fallen into the electrical portion of the dashboard. I have reached out to them three to four times and cannot seem to get any traction to make this a priority to get it fixed and there is no way to reach the next management tier for resolution. All you can do is leave a message that will later be discussed with the store team. I am now without one of my vehicles for 4 weeks and it looks like it'll be even longer. They are not willing to take on any extra effort to resolve this issue. I would appreciate any assistance that you can give to resolve this or even just get me in contact with the next level management tier in the ******* area. Thank you

During the install the car was damaged and the system was wired to the electric Seats and seatbelt wires and damaging the electrical. My son was jeopardized and this could of caused huge issues. It could of caused an electrical fire and definitely caused safety issue unable to use seatbelt. And is illegal to drive with no functioning safety belt. My son had no choice, but to drive his car, he has a full time job, he has to work to live, there was no option of immediately going in the shop, no rental car was offered nothing for his inconvenience was offered. No discount or refund of money back for the install, considering the errors that took place. My son had to get estimates from car dealerships, then had to wait until he could conveniently borrow a car from somebody for 2 to 3 days, while the car got repaired. Again, no loaner no option, no nothing was even offered. He got the estimates and took it in to ********** of fife. He had to pay a friend for 3 days of borrowing a car so he could get to work. We then had to come up with the **** dollars to pay for the repairs to get his car out of the shop. We then were told your store had to file a claim and my son is still waiting for reimbursement from your company. This is ridiculous. I was dumbfounded when I got the credit card **** and saw the full price was charged after all that had took place. Yes, he had permission to go get his stereo system, but the fact that you still charged full price and didn't even offer a reimbursement makes me feel like you definitely took advantage of a young boy. Definitely am requesting th4 whole amount of the install and merchandise to be credited back to credit account. That would be sufficient without having to take it any further. The inconvenience, the waiting, the borrowing of another vehicle, and having to pay somebody to use it, the least you could do is refund to make things right.So we would like the refund from date of service. At the very least installation fees. The **** in repairs processed immediately and a refund for rental of car and inconvenience... Thank you in advance ********************************* ********** ************************************* **********

      To Whom It May ***************** truly apologize about the inconvenience this has caused  and the safety aspect as well. 

      After talking to Shop Manager ****, he stated that he did submit the report when it happened. 

      Looks like it somehow never reached our cooperate office, possible a glitch in the system for approval at that time. 

      With that being said he than figured everything was handled and it was getting taken care of by our insurance company to get the fix done to the vehicle. 

      When we saw the current email complaint come through, we acted swiftly and resubmitted it which got approved instantly and we will have a check refund out shortly for the amount that it costs to fix the vehicle. 

      We take our customer service very seriously and apologize that this has happened the way it did, **** also stated at the time when the issue occurred that he mentioned about a rental car with ******** and to let us know if he needed one. 

      We cannot refund the product or labor on the actual purchase invoice, but we do stand behind our work for labor performed for lifetime. 

      We have attached the receipt of the purchase made that day as well. 

      **** will be reaching out to ******************** tomorrow to make sure we have the correct address for check refund in the amount of $1312.75 to be sent out. 

      Again apologize for the wait. 




      Thanks,

      Thank you for your response. I apologize for the late reply... It had gone to my spam box.. 

      As of today 11/28/23 still no check has been received. 

      Ill tell you just how frustrating this has been. 

      First and foremost there was never a offer to call if rental car was needed. 2ndly you should know that a call was made almost weekly asking about check and when the store would call back after checking with corporate, we were always ensured that the check was processed and would be coming in the mail. The check was not processed until you received the better Business Bureau complaint so every time your store was called, we were lied to, as you stated, it must have fell through the cracks, so there never was really a check processed and sent in the first place. Another major issue is the trickle effect that this *************************** a person's life, although we're thankful you're gonna refund for something, the store caused that does not help at all, with the fact that playing catch up with someone's finances has come into play. **** isnt just small change to some people. this was a **** financial setback to a person who just moved on their own, just invested in a new vehicle and now either had to miss 3 days of work or pay for transportation. Now behind on everything that was worked so hard for.. This should never had to come out of a customers pocket. you cant refund ? Or you wont? Do you really think the way to satisfy a customer and fix this mistake is by standing behind your product and service? Isnt that what your supposed to do anyway? Thats not above and beyond for a customer. Although I was so thankful you're going to refund what should have never been paid in the first place. Offering half off or a refund of the installation would of been appreciated. Removing the installation for the mistake and inconvenience and charging product only would of even been nice. Seems like your way to fix this is to act like you're doing us a favor by sending a refund. This is ridiculous. This should have never happened but yes mistakes happen but what a failure of satisfying a paying customer. I would like to know what you're gonna do about it? Are you going to tell me you cant do anything except for to pay us back? If I owed on an account that was due in September and as of December no payment was received I sure bet your company would have charged all types of late and interest fees. It's surely not an option for me to charge your company though right?. I'm absolutely not satisfied with how this has been dealt with. I would like a better answer to resolve this or i will take this further. I should include the fact that your workers joked about who was the installer and how they should discount the install before it was even done. If that check isnt received by Friday then have one sent to your store for pick up immediately because it's apparent that it must be lost in the mail. It's christmas time and people have rent and bills to pay at beginning of month and this has effected going on 5 months now
