I would like to share my experience yesterday over at Kartunes, Seaside/Monterey, CA. My appointment was scheduled for 1pm. I received an email, txt and phone call around 11:30 from that nice lady (so terrible with names) letting me know that they’ve completed their prior appointment and that I may drive in at my convenience. Surely by 12 noon I have already arrived and signed the well explained work order agreement. (Driving around back to their installation station was pretty cool as an added note) Mr Tim greeted and professionally gave me the run down on what’s going to happen and to return in 2 hrs. So An hour and 10 minutes go by and I receive another email, txt and phone call letting me know the my CVPI is ready for pickup. I didn’t even finish my half eaten, over priced burrito from the corner bistro and hurried back to their fine electrical shop in which I received the the bill to pay and the receipt to keep. We then exchanged a few humorous catch phrases and I was a explained proper operational procedures for my new device and we said our goodbyes and I was out. I would like to apologize for not remembering her name and for not condensing this review. This was my experience with Kartunes.

Got me an in for an appointment quickly to install a backup camera on my Camry. It Came out perfectly! Thanks Tim & Karen

Scheduled an appointment, everything was performed on time! Had a couple issues during pickup but Tim squared everything away. Only reason for 4/5 is cause the speakers i had originally planned on getting were not available for my install date but Caren and Tim helped me pick out some great alternatives. Great customer service.

Another outstanding install by the team at Kartunes! Thanks so much for the returning customer deal. So glad to have you guys in town. Best shop hands down. Dont waste your time with anyone else.

I have had a great experience with these guys. They are super friendly and really care about customer satisfaction.They took in my two door truck to get power locks. My truck also has a old system so many installers struggle to work on it. But not these guys. They went far beyond to look for all the information about my old system even though it had been discontinued for years. Even so, they got it done the same day I took it in. Only taking about 3 hours or so. It even had the extra hurdle that before I bought it, it had been stolen so it was pretty butchered. And they still got the system on. Going out of their way to add parts that were stolen of it. All to make my system work. Which I really appreciate.After I didnt understand some of the work that was done. Do to my misinformation using Youtube videos (a mistake). Tim really took the time to explain all the ins and outs of the work he did. And even explain some of the hidden quirks with my truck that with out him I would have never known. Being very patient with all my misinformed questions. So dont be scared to ask them any questions if you dont understand. They are happy to explain. The price is very competitive and they did the best to work in my budget. I would recommend these guys!

Ive known Tim for years and he has always done outstanding service. Taken in multiple cars for service including a delivery truck, and years later the audio systems are still kicking without static.Just recently took in my Toyota Matrix Xrs for a deck upgrade and got myself a Pioneer touchscreen with Android Auto. Ive driven over 1100 miles, up to Lake Tahoe twice and back from Santa Cruz so I definitely got a good road trip listening test in. There are so many features on this deck Im still trying to get them all configured. My favorite feature of all is Android Auto. The voice commands allows for hands free convenient use, I ask it whatever I need at a whim. Directions, done! Closest gas station, it finds it. Wheres a grocery store?, it pulls up a few in the area and you choose which one you want.With my car not having any voice features built in, Tim was able to install a microphone that is discreetly placed on top the steering column just behind the steering wheel. An auxiliary USB port was installed conveniently below the center console near the flooring to allow a connection with your android phone for charging and data transfer. All installation took only about an hour. Tim did all the work himself, with his years of experience I definitely left with my expectations exceeded. I highly recommend Kartunes for their outstanding service.

Stopped by without an appointment. Lucky me, they had a cancellation and got me right in and then out in less than an hour. Seems wise to specify how you want things set, if you know your stuff, but they were super friendly. And at $70/hr, theyve got among the best labor rates Ive seen for shops of this quality.

Took my 91 Bronco in to get a new deck. They hooked everything up very quickly and helped me connect my phone etc. My stereo system had been chopped by the previous owner, they talked me through everything and showed me what was going on. Very nice people and good service!

Karen and offer outstanding quality, knowledgeable, and friendly customer service. I came here to have alarm systems installed on both of my vehicles attached they were broken into, and they were able to get me in on the same day. They were extremely thorough with all of their work, and made sure I fully understood my new system before I left.

This was my first experience with this shop and I can say that this is a hidden gem. They are extremely knowledable, have great customer service, excelent facilities and an extremely helpful way of approaching the problem I had.If youre looking to support a local business with great customer service. This is the place to take your car.10/5 Stars

I arrived and was immediately greeted. I had a problem with a blown fuse, and was helped Free Of Charge. I believe his name was Jim. Thanks!

This is the best stereo shop on the Monterey peninsula. They know their business and know it well. Very friendly, fair prices and outstanding work.
