I was blown away by the customer service at this location. I called on Monday to make an appointment to use the Groupon I had just purchased, for detailing of my car. I mentioned that I was going to be at a conference all day in their neighborhood (about 1.5 miles away) two days later on Wednesday. But my conference started at 9 am, and their location opened at 9 am. Without a key drop off option, I wouldn't have time to leave my car at 9 when they opened and still make it walking to my conference location. Tommy immediately offered to come pick up my car at the hotel for me. I emailed him all of the info, and he called me promptly at about 8:45 am on Wednesday. He was waiting out front of the hotel, and took my car back to the shop. At the end of my session, I walked to their location to check in. They said they had about 1 hour left of work, and offered me their waiting room. I had my laptop with me, and was able to plug in and get some work done while I waited. Shortly after I got settled, Will, a manager I believe, came over to check in and make sure that everything had gone smoothly with the pick up that morning. I assured him it had. I sat and worked for almost two hours before realizing that the forecasted hour had come and gone. At that point, another associate noticed that I had been there for a while, and he asked me if I was waiting for my car. I told him which car was mine, and he promptly went off to check on it for me. Shortly thereafter, a different gentleman came over with my key and told me I was all set. Overall, everyone at the shop was polite, professional, and extremely courteous. They definitely went out of their way to make sure I was being taken care of. The only slight downside was the extra hour on top of their estimate that it took for them to finish the detailing. But the results were worth it. My 11 year old car looks brand new inside!
Description of Work: I bought a Groupon for basic interior auto detailing, including carpet and seat shampooing

Please see details above
Description of Work: I went to Car Toys to have an alarm with Auto Start and a stereo with Bluetooth/Navigation Installed. The sales experience was exactly as you would expect to have with a sales person; positive at the start through the completion of the sale ($1400+) and then the "service" turns off completely and you become a nuisance for anything else moving forward (other than additional dollars). The Navigation/stereo had Bluetooth built in and the quality was horrible, I attribute this primarily to a sub-par installation on a misrepresented product. I have had my vehicle back to them no less than 8 times at multiple locations with absolutely zero resolution and no willingness for further help. Additionally I purchased an extended warranty which apparently only covers a total failure of the system and in that case you will be without a car stereo for 6-12 weeks (or more). Needless to say I will never do business with Car Toys again, amazingly poor service. I’d also like to call out as further proof that this is a companywide problem and not an isolated issue; I have worked with the managers at 3 different Car Toys locations with zero resolution and no real interest in trying to help (Lynnwood, Kirkland and Everett). Car Toys is by far the largest reseller of car audio video services in the northwest, it’s just super disappointing that service and a long-term commitment to their customers isn't an important trait to Car Toys.

Description of Work: I had an Alpine stereo/HD radio and car alarm installed. The HD radio that was installed has never worked. Every 5th or 6th time I start the car, the HD radio does not turn on. I took the stereo back to car toys 3 times and they never fixed it. It is close to 2 years old and it still does not work!

This is the first time I've used them. The quality of the work and the time involved was good. The process that they use with getting in and getting out was good. They were honest with their pricing.
Description of Work: They did a full detail on my car.
