Central Coast Audio & Tint

The guys there do a hell of job installing my new lights. They are always professional and fast and courteous.
They are always helpful and willing to answer any questions and give expert advice. I highly recommend them.

These guys nailed it! Let me set the stage for you. I had the stereo, the harness, the dash kit, back up camera, all necessary parts needed. The big name stereo dealer in town quoted crazy expensive prices and weeks of booked appointments. Another stereo shop claimed he could do the work, in time for my Christmas deadline (present for my daughter) third party shop Mas 1 audio, had it in pieces for 5 hours and called saying they couldn’t do the job. Mas pieced it back together and a frantic call was placed to Central Coast, mind you its now 1 pm and I need it done by day’s end. Central Coast was more than accommodating. They did a flawless install in 2 hours and change. Their work was great and their attitudes and prices were awesome. Merry Christmas Central Coast, I almost never Unilocal but you guys owned it!!!

They did a GREAT job on our 89 Land Cruiser, removing 20+ year old window film and replacing it. Easy to work with and fair price!

Called ahead for an appointment. Got in within a day. My headlights were yellow on the Nissan Altima. They gave me a quote that was very reasonable. They did a great job and the price was below what they quoted. My vehicle looks new! They were welcoming, did the job, and I got out with a great job, less than I would have paid. I really like this business.

The best place to go for all your car audio or tinting needs. I have taken all my vehicles there for the past 15 yrs.
Very courteous and affordable quality service done in a professional manor.
The only place I refer or will go to!!!
Tell the Stoney sent you lol

Super Fast, Easy & Quick!!! Love them!!!
Thank you.

These guys are awesome! First I had my windows tinted. They did such a great job, I went back and had them install LED reverse lights and a sick light bar. They had to custom fabricate the mounting brackets for the light bar and did a great job.
SUPER STOKED!!! Thanks you guys…

Amazing work, super friendly service and fast turn around. What else could you ask for? These guys are the best and come highly recommended. Support local Santa Cruz business and check out this family run place. You wont regret it.

They put in my Hid lights on my Mazda 6 and thanks to them I can see now and they did it in under 30 minutes

This place is the only place I have gone to and send all my staff to. Quality at its finest. Best prices in town

Ok lets start off, yes the got 5 stars and that is way we went to them. We wanted are cars windows done right so seem like it be the place to go. But was I wrong…
I called to see they had time to do the car and they did so went to get it done. The workers are really nice and helpful at first great price so we pulled the trigger. When we got the car there is a ready noticeable bubbles the worker even notice them and said it look like the tInt man touched it with his finger causing it not to stick to the window so we would make an appointment to bring it back. Called once to see if we can get it redone they said they were full that day seems kinda sketchy so the next day I called to ask not saying it was us if we can get windows tinted if they had any openings for today they said yes so I came into get the car read tinted. But once they found out it was for re tInt. they said they didn’t have time but they had time when they thought I was a new customer. And when I was there there was another lady in a Honda getting her windows redone for the third time finally made an appointment to get them done and it took them 9 hours to get it done. And it came out worse and they said we were too picky that every shop would get bubbles in the tent ended up taking it to a new shop and no there is no bubbles I would not take my car here or do you not to take yours as wellthey are nice at first but I won’t help you out once you give them your money and I did I mention that when they read it they put a lighter shade on it shady people

This is the ONLY place I take my car in this area for customization. The staff are REAL down to earth, honost and really care about your satisfaction! They will continue to get my business. Keep up the great work guys.

Had my subwoofer, amps, front speakers and tweeters installed here. They had to do a custom box on the subwoofer so it could save space and fit nicely in my Datsun wagon. I couldn’t have asked for a better job. Now it sounds great and looks even better. I can open the trunk and show off finally!
I later brought my gf here to get her car tinted all around, including her winshield. There were a few bubbles left on the winshield the first two days, but before they were done they told us that would be the case. After a few days the bubbles went away and now it’s a mean looking Accord!

Took my BMW to get my front 2 passenger windows tinted. Very fast and professional service and the price was very competitive. Bringing my car back to install a new deck.

Central Coast Audio & Tint was awesome. I called at 2pm on a Saturday, and he managed to squeak me in and have the windows on my GTI done by 5:30pm that same night.
As far as quality goes, it’s an easy A+. I’ve had 5 different cars tinted by 5 different professionals in 3 different states, and I left here with the clearest tint I’ve ever left with. Normally it’s full of little air bubbles for a few days as it dries and the film cures, but he took the extra time and managed to get almost all of them out before I even left.
There was one very small bubble on the back window which he couldn’t get rid of because the temperature had dropped toward the end of the day, but he set me up with an appointment on the spot to come back so he could fix it later that week.
I’ll be bringing my wife’s car there soon, and will definitely recommend them to anyone who needs tinting in the future.

I had these people install some subs into my new car, a 2010 honda accord. These were subs that I had for a couple years in my old 2001 dodge ram. They have always worked perfectly, the amp never heated up and they hit really hard. Kicker amp and two kicker 10’s. 3 days after getting the subs put in, my amp started going into power saver mode all the time and would just randomly cut out. I took it back for them to look at it and they hardly looked at it and tried to tell me that my subs and amp were cheap out of date subs and I needed to get new ones, and that they would give me a good deal on some new ones. obviously just trying to make extra money off something i didn’t need. I said no and decided i would talk to someone else. took the car to a different place with a capacitor to instal hoping this would fix the problem. when I went to pick it up, the guy tells me how the subs kept cutting out and tells me that the fuse was totally melted… something Central Coast never even looked at. he then went to show me why this was. Central Coast did not ground my subs to an all metal appropriate place to ground them. He said this is why they worked fine for a few days until the amp had over heated and melted and would go into power saving mode. had nothing to do with the subs or the battery, just that it was grounded so poorly. Any place that installs subs should know how to ground them properly. these people did a good job on my tint but a horrible job on my subs and took FOREVER. I would not recommend this place.

These guys fixed my passenger window for only $ 40 bucks when it came off track. They were very nice and did for a great price, especially considering I didn’t have an appointment and it was about 30 minutes before closing time on a Friday night.

I love my front windshield tint it’s clear and stops the sun glare and on coming cars bright lights… its definitely a great safety tool. My inside lights have made such a difference specially at night when I’m driving home an my daughter is asleep it’s like a soft nightlight. I think every car should come with them. The service was great and convenient, I went to work got dropped off and picked up and my car was done, I didn’t take any time off my busy schedule. Thank you!
FYI. YOUR TINT WILL HAVE BUBBLES THE FIRST DAY, BUT THEY GO AWAY IN 24HRS ONCE THE TINT DRIES. and its completly smooth and perfect afterwards.!!:)

After my passenger side window got smashed out, I called these guys up on a Saturday morning to see if they might be able to fix it. They did a quick quote and said they could get it in and out same day, no later than 5. I drop it off at 1030 and they check my VIN to make sure they are ordering the right window. They say they are good to go and they will give a call when its ready. I don’t live in Santa Cruz, so I wanted to get this taken care of before leaving town.
At 1 I get a call saying my car is ready, but turns they called the wrong person. At 4 they give me a call and tell me the window doesn’t fit and I’ll have to wait till Monday. Why did you go to the trouble of checking my VIN and not order the right part? If you had just told me from the start that you couldn’t do I could have found somewhere else that could that day. It’s not exactly like it’s a rare car, a 2006 Subaru Impreza wagon. I get the feeling they wanted to knock off early on Saturday.
They didn’t even bother to put the rollers for the window back in or clean up the glass. Do not recommend.

Central Coast Audio & Tint is AWESOME! I got my new BMW a couple of weeks ago and wanted to get it tinted. I asked around and got various quotes and reviews from both friends of mine and the internet. Still a bit unsure as to where to go, I ended up finding out a buddy of mine knows the guys at Central Coast Audio & Tint — they offer great quality and I got a great price with a lifetime warranty.
I got my tinting done today and it looks AMAZING! Without doubt 100% happy with my decision to go to Central Coast and the deal and service that I got.
I’d recommend ANYONE go to Central Coast! You won’t regret it!
