It's winter and you've parked your car on the street or in your driveway and it snows three inches. It's now 8 degrees outside-and you've got to get to work. You bundle up, trudge through the snow to your car, get snow all over your clothes while you scrape the ice and snow off the windshield, and get into an 8 degree car.

Had a intermittent issue with our car audio system. Went to a friend recommended shop and was told by the tech that he would probably have to disassemble the dashboard and he would have to keep the car for a day. He said a price quote would not be possible. Went to Manny at T-rex. He diagnosed the issue as improper speaker installation in the door panels. Made the repairs right then and there. No song and dance and now no more problem.

I’m beyond grateful for the service provided by the audio tech here. He helped me with my setup. My car had no audio due to bad wiring and a blown fuse. The tech was in the middle of something and i as soon as I approached him with my concern he immediately stopped what he was doing to help me out. Definitely recommend this place!

Just had my second install done by Manny and he did an awesome job. Had a glitch with the unit and he worked until it was fixed 100% to my satisfaction.

Beautiful install on a 1996 Bronco - subwoofer, single-din flip up with rear camera, and two sets of 3-inch cube lights integrated so well in to the bumper that they disappear.when turned off. Job was done on budget and on time. T-Rex does it right the first time.

We set an appointment for 8 am Saturday. I got lost, and called the shop about 7:45. He picked up on the first ring. After I finally got to shop, they worked on my car, and I'm very impressed with the service and after care. I already told my friends about them. Love the service

I was looking to install a new head unit and speakers in my 1990 cabriolet. I reached out to Manny at T-Rex Audio, he gave me a fabulous quote and installed it all the next day. This is totally not my "thing" and I wanted to surprise my husband with this for Father's Day. My husband is very picky and he was so happy with how the unit looked and speakers sounded. He has been searching for a head unit and he said this one by far surpasses anything that he found online! He can't wait to take the car for a spin tomorrow on a sunny day, Thanks Manny!!

I was desperate to find someone help fix my alarm system. Four different places either said no or cancelled the appointment. T-Rex Audio relieved my stress that i had for 2 weeks. Their pricing was VERY fair, they where able to fix the issue, and was very honest with the work they needed to do. I know where to go to get any electronic work done on my car in the future. I dont normally post reviews, but they deserve the effort to post. It was worth the 30 minute drive.

Manny installed speakers in my son's Jeep today. Usually I let my husband handle these things because I fear what I will be charged.
He was professional and fair! My son was thrilled with his speakers and I was thrilled with the price.
Thanks for being such a great guy! We will be back.

Half way installed alarm/remote start. Ask for him to finish and he didn't want to do it? Doesn't know about popular "other" brands? WTH? Your an installer but don't know or just don't want to install because it's not sold from your store. Either way lost a customer.

I've recently called in to get information about a 2018 Remote Car Starter. I spoke with Manny who was very knowledgeable about his products and flexible with scheduling. He is highly recommended for all your audio/electrical needs to your vehicle.

I stopped by for LED Headlight kit installation, he started to work, and after realizing that wheels have to come off he said he is not doing the job. Instead of handing keys in my had he left keys on the roof? My car has a start button, car was running... so i left, not realizing keys are on the roof. keys lost. called him back, he said its not his fault i dont check roof for keys?!!! Poor place, poor attitude, do not recommend!

Had custom sound system and speakers installed on my new Tacoma. My requests were specific and Manny executed all of my requests flawlessly in professional fashion. Great quality sound and exactly how I wanted the installation to look on my truck. Worth every penny.

Brought my vehicle by to have flashing blue lights installed for my fire department. They positioned the buttons in a perfect spot. Wxcellent wiring with nothing showing and it works perfectly. 10/10. Professional, polite, great pricing

This guy is a hack. He installed garbage wires that could have been bought at radio shack. The speakers were no name brand with his nonsense brand on them being "driven" by under powered crap amplifiers. The kicker in this whole thing is the head unit did not even have an EQ... how do you install a custom sound system without an adjustable EQ? Ironically the box he created was not even ported correctly. T-Rex 1, Me: 0.... All good but buyer beware this shop is a hack at best.
