What's a good shop with decent prices to get an alarm in the Berkeley/Oakland area?

How about clear bra, paint protection?

Hey give jbigelow a PM, his buddy has a shop in oakland, oops i think he also is on the boards here as he recently bought an Evo too. Can't remember his screen name but yeah, jbigelow's alarm installed by his buddy's shop is nice. If you can't get a hold of Jbige's let me know and I"ll call him up and ask him whats the dealio.

Haven't done anything to my EVO yet, and I know this isn't in the East Bay, but Auto Sound in Sunnyvale did a nice Job on my Talon. Remote Start/Delay shut off (my turbo timer), Tinting, Stereo install. They were fast, reasonable, and friendly. Victor is who helped me out; he knew his stuff.

man they are way over priced.. I ask them to install a Turbo timer for me, and it cost $175.. I was like :shock: okay whatever.. and I ask about the Matrix RS3.5 back then.. they ask for $750+install.. ok c u later..and I end up getting the same thing with Install with the Black box for $550 at another shop in the SF region, I know that shop got some nice cars, 350z/wrx/lexus etc.. and some of my friend knows them.. but their price is way too expensive..

try price matching with them to see if they can do the same work.

i know alan and staff, and they do quality work!

cool!!!!

i just recommended them.

they do QUALITY work and they take care of me (or any other customer) when it comes to warranty or installation issues.

their motto is "Quality, not Quantity."

also, you can see them work on your car. unlike other places.

anyways, congratulations on your price find.

BTW - i hope they do your remote start right, because if your car is in gear it will go forward.

when my car is in gear, the remote start will not work.

good luck!!!!!!!!
