Doren Car Stereo Alarm

The manager was so nice and professional. Service took less than time quoted. Highly recommend,

Got everything done from soupp to nuts on my car in 90 minutes plus took another 15 minutes to show me how to use it all. Could not have been better.

Our minivan's antenna mast was broken in the spot where it screws into the ornament on the body. A part of the screw was still inside, which made it difficult to replace. After checking with Angies list, we called there - they were busy but asked us to come to the shop. Which we did a few days later. The lady in the front was busy and it took her almost half hour to speak to us. Without batting an eyelid, we were given a price - very close to what the Toyota dealer would have charged. We asked for any other options, such as installing an antenna receiver on the windshield etc. (another car audio service in Hicksville had suggested that). She would not answer the question and was making us to buy what she recommended or leave the place. Finally, after hearing us asking more questions, another guy walks to the front and takes a walk with us to the car to see what the issue was. He recommended that instead of replacing the original antenna, we could go with a more stable newer kind of antenna (looks like a shark fin) to be placed on roof of the van. Of course, this required him to drill another hold in the van's body. Price quoted was around $250, while replacing the antenna mast as originally indicated would have costed us around $450. We thanked the person and walked right out. Both options were priced too high. See our other review on how we got the problem fixed with genuine Toyota parts at less than 1/3 of the cost quoted by Doren. If you have money to burn and/or lacking in time, use them... they seem to be "popular". But suggestion is that, as with anything, shop around and you may end up fattening your wallet. S

Went there because my old amp was missing the power harness and they said they can hard wire one on. I was also looking to buy speakers to go with the amp. My wife bought me the speakers online as a gift for me. When I went back to have them do the job, their whole story changed because I didn't get the speakers from them. They started getting cold towards me, I also wanted an alarm for the car and they had no time to be bothered with me or to answer my questions. All of a sudden they had no one to install the stuff. They said they will call me when they can do it, almost a year later I got no call. I went some where else and priced the same exact alarm to see if they where trying to rip me off and the other place had it for $100 cheaper. So I was being ripped off just because I didn't get the speakers from them!! Stay away from them!! There are other places better then them.

Found out about this place from an Internet search. Had to wait a while because I didn't have an appointment. The lady was very nice. I'm satisfied

Many fans of Doren stopped in during the time I was there to buy more things and kept saying very nice things about them.A few seemed to be "regulars." I live a distance away but went there because I read so many bad reviews on line of sloppy work, high pressure sales tactics and not standing behind warranties elsewhere that I drove the extra distance to go to Doren. I would go back. Maybe when my wallet is fatter, I will get new speakers to go with the new radio. If I do, I would trust them to sell me what will sound good and not what they are trying to sell. Moishe told me that my car would sound like a concert hall if I upgraded but no pressure at all. It is nice to know that some people still run their business with care and pride of doing the best job they can.

There was a large selection of models to choose from, but I was never pressured into buying a specific model/brand. Very helpful and professional. The price (including installation) was very reasonable, and quickly done. A great service with knowledgeable staff.

I spoke with them and they were so nice! What I needed though was going to become very involved. However, I didn't need to use their services because the problem seems to have resolved itself for the post part. I'll just need someone to check the wiring and that's not exactly what they do. I'll go back to them if I ever need anything.

===AMAZING!!!=== After several months of searching for a solution, I found THE place! My old '99 Toyota's last remote (of 2) was malfunctioning. I got locked out of the car a couple of times. To resolve the issue I tried everything from changing its battery to taking the car to auto alarm shops to searching and ordering from the internet twice. Auto alarm shops quoted me from $100 to remove the alarm altogether (it's an old car anyway) to $350 + to replace the alarm system. Internet replacements were from $34 and up plus a trip to the Toyota dealer to help me install the thing for $95. On a cold night I drove to the Doren shop. I saw a lady at the counter and a couple of gentlemen going back and forth to the back. I waited my turn for 20 minutes. As I waited, I noticed that the lady was deeply engaged with one customer in explaining a solution to him and I thought, if I wait because she gives good service, then I'll gladly wait. When my turn was up, she listened carefully to my dilema and said "we have options for you. The first, we'll replace this old remote with a new one. We have one for $60. Another option if this doesn't work is.." I interrupted and said to try it. She then proceeded to open my old remote and explain why and how it went bad and what part was not working (the switches I thought were not making contact were actually fine but she showed me that the circuit board was shot!). She said to pull up the car by the garage and she'll have it installed in 5 minutes... for free!. Sure enough! that's what happened. Can you beat this? A wonderful lady, very knowledgeable, courteous, patient, caring. Service gentlemen that take care of your care in "no time" and a price I gladly paid! Old world, class service with new technology at great prices!
