one deck
two front speakers
two rear speakers

Dropped car off Tuesday and it still isn't done?! Was told it would take about 4 hours if that.

I pulled out all the interior and old deck so it would be even easier for these sons of bitches and the car still isn't done.

your car is at the sideshows right as I'm typing this, on a serious note it shouldn't have taken more than a couple of hours, I would go get it ASAP, because you're obviously dealing with morons.

Granted the speakers are getting custom installments rather than stock locations and some recovering of the door panels where the old speakers where but don't tell me it will be a day tops then 4 days later I still get no call.

Called him at 11:30. Says we are finishing it up right now....then goes on to say the deck isn't even in yet and the front speakers are just about to go in. So it took 3 days to install two rear speakers!??!

F'n beside myself. I can't get over there I"m at work. They close at 5 same time I get off. They open at 7am tomorrow I'll be there at 6:30am

SHIT! This place came highly recomended for working on older cars. Read no bad comments about them in YELP. Once I get my car back I'm blastin their shop!

I'll give them 3 days then because when I dropped it off they did say next morning they'll start on it. So I apologize....3 days not 4. Honestly after 2 days its bullshit

even with the custom installments it shouldn't taken more than 2-3hrs, I'd be very suspicious and check the car out for any damage, abuse or extra mileage.

I'm trying to be calm on the phone and don't want to cause shit. I don't want free stuff or anything. I'm really just hoping they do a clean job and do it right so I wont have to go back.

Clearly I'll be going over every inch of the car when I get there tomrrow. Trying ever single electrical component from the blinkers to the whipers, oh and the stereo of course.

I even had a dream last night I got the car back and it was such a hack job [Frown] this blows.

Have you visited the car? or just called them? I wonder if they fucked up your car some how and don't want to tell you while they try and fix it.

Man I'm with him, It seems like they are stalling HARD!!! I have done many customs stereo install. You can remove a complete interior, wire a complete stereo amps/speaker/subs/deck & reinstall the interior in 1 day. Hopefully its not serious. Take a camera with you when you go.

Good luck, keep us posted.
