Car Trendz Testimonials Why our customers keep coming back for more. |
Car Trendz is not just an A/V shop, but a place to customize your ride(s) for self-expression or to build a fantasy ride. I’ve been a Car Trendz customer (and unofficial spokesperson) for over 5 years. Why Car Trendz? Tai Nguyen. He is a true professional businessman, installer, fabricator and car-nut. His vast knowledge of the ever changing technology, genres, fads and flavors spans throughout the shop’s history. Various competition shows/displays and a multitude of customer and private vehicles bear the Car Trendz ‘stamp of approval’ logo. I should know as both of my cars are products of Car Trendz’s mad-scientists for audio, video, GPS and security. It doesn’t surprise me that Tai has customers driving in from beyond the tri-state area, or that they are willing to leave their prized possessions to be cut, probed, stripped, drilled and hammered into ‘new freaks of nature’. What would surprise me is someone coming up with an idea that Tai and has crew hasn’t already contemplated, calculated, tested and executed.

I’ve been a Car Trendz customer for 5 years. Tai has taken good care of me every time I’ve come in. He takes the time to find out what I need and then works with me to find what I want at the price that I’m looking for. He stays on top of the latest technology and you can always find something new when you stop by. I really appreciate Tai’s expertise and attention; you can feel confident that he will do you right.

Tai is a great guy. I went to another audio shop to have a system added to my vehicle and the guy there messed it up. After that I took it to Tai and he fixed it all. He did $3000 worth of work for me. There was no problem whatsoever with anything, and Tai was always prompt in taking care of it all. He has helped me out tremendously. I have been a customer for 3 months. Everything’s always been in and out, and I never had problems with prices. I definitely recommend him to other people. If you go to someone else, you might get not get what you want and end up with a lot less than you bargained for. With Tai, you’re going to get more than your money’s worth and that’s a fact.

I’ve been a Car Trendz customer for about a year and a half now. The last project I had done with Tai was having rims put on my Magnum. I like that Tai is flexible on prices and when he says he’s going to have something in by a certain time he’s true to his word. When he says something is going to be done, it’s done. That kind of work ethic is seriously hard to find. Tai is a very reliable person and he’s upfront on what exactly the cost is going to be for a project. Tai is absolutely the first person I would recommend to someone needing accessories and maintenance for their vehicle.

Tai has worked on about 4 different vehicles of mine. He’s trustworthy and reliable, and stands behind his products 100%. He gives good recommendations on which accessories and installations I should add to my vehicles. I trust his judgment on all of his work as he has always provided good clean installations. I had a couple of warranty issues from product defects and Tai took care of it right away and replaced the products without hesitation. I would definitely recommend him to anyone. I had an unusual project that I needed him to do, involving placing a camera on a piece of construction equipment. This was definitely outside his normal scope of operation but still he was able to figure it out and it turned out to be a great install. I would definitely recommend his business to anyone looking to accessorize their vehicle.

Tai knows everything that’s on the market and what’s available. I tell him what I want and if he doesn’t have it he researches until he finds it. He has the knowledge and expertise to find the part and the skills to make it work. Within the past month I was having problems with my Escalade dying on me. I took it in for him to look at it. He found that it was the battery so he changed it out and never charged me for it. That’s very rare to find someone that goes to such lengths for their customers. Also if I have trouble making something work on my Escalade I go visit him and he very patiently shows me what to do. I really enjoy working with him. I take all of my vehicles to him. I’d rather take my cars to him and have him work on them than have anyone else do it, even if that means it will cost more by going to him. I won’t even take my vehicles to a tire place to have the tires maintained; I only go to Car Trendz. I always recommend him to everyone who asks where I have my Escalade worked on.

I’ve been a Car Trendz customer for about a month now. The customer service is good. As soon as you walk in they want to help you out and give you a lot of options to choose from. Tai is good at what he does, and he treats his customers right. When I had a problem with my car alarm he had no problem fixing it for me. I have already recommended him to a couple of my friends.
Douglas Penado
I’ve been a customer of Car Trendz for about 4 years. Tai has a great selection of products to offer. Being a regular customer of his, if I have a problem I can stop by his shop and he will drop whatever he is doing to fix my problem immediately. I’ve purchased rims, tires, and alarm systems from him over the years and he’s always done an excellent job. I would recommend him to anyone. I wouldn’t go anywhere else because I know he is honest and he does the job right.
Dennis Wheaton
The main thing I like about Cartrendz is their customer service. Tai is very precise with his work. I can appreciate that, being a perfectionist myself especially when it comes to my car. He is very ethical and honest with his work and the work performed on my vehicles is completed right the first time; repeat visits are not necessary. I have complete piece of mind when my vehicles are in Tai’s hands. The shop’s security system allows for a complete shop overview no matter where he is working. From custom to “regular” install the same approach was taken. No matter what kind of vehicle it is, the same time and attention given to it is guaranteed. All the wires are tucked away and everything is professional and perfect. One other impressive detail was that the items needed for my custom install were in stock. Other locations required an order to be placed to retrieve the items I needed for my vehicle. Tai had all the information at hand and In Stock!! I think that’s pretty rare wherever you go. I recommend him to everyone I know and would never go anywhere else but to Cartrendz to have my car accessorized.

I first went to Car Trendz two months ago to have a Pioneer system installed in my car. I didn’t want some guy from one of the major corporate chains going in and trashing my car. I found Car Trendz and decided to give them a try. First of all, I really liked the fact that I was able to deal directly with the owner (Tai). He was very professional and answered my questions quickly and to the point. While working on my car they took their time with it; they didn’t rush it through so they could go on to the next project. Their install was professional, clean and worked perfectly the first time. I also thought the price was great for what they had done. It shows that Tai has been doing this for a long time and I really appreciated that when the product was finished. I’ve worked in radio for about 15 years so making sure that everything is perfect is a big deal to me.

“I’m a professional Dee Jay, so sound is my business. I met Tai in 1987, and I’ve been doing business with him ever since, because he’s a perfectionist when it comes to the quality of the sound systems he installs and the clean appearance of the installations. Recently, he installed systems in my mobile entertainment trucks, and they sound fantastic. When you tell him you need a sound system, he’ll ask you what kind of music you listen to. Then he’ll build a system around your preferences. He’ll make sure you have a great experience with your music.”

“I’ve been a CarTrendz customer for more than four years, and Tai has worked on several vehicles for me. He recently installed an Alpine IVA-W200 multi-media player in my console and an Alpine 10.2-inch flip-down monitor in the rear of my Nissan Titan. A lot of places I went to before finding CarTrendz scratched my interior, broke plastic clips and damaged my vehicles. I can always count on Tai for a professional installation. His work is flawless and his prices are very competitive. You can't go wrong with CarTrendz."

“I’ve been a Car Trendz customer for about four years, and the reason I keep going back is Tai Nguyen’s honesty. The stuff I buy for my Yukon – amplifiers, speakers, strobe lights, TVs, DVD players – are not necessities. They are things I enjoy and simply want. That’s why it is so important to deal with an honest person. I trust his judgment when he recommends one product over another or one way to do the installation over another. He does quality work every time.

“Car Trendz has installed my navigation system and all of my stereo systems since 1999, including the one in my current Cadillac. I don’t trust a lot of people with my cars; the big chain stores tend to use inexperienced people, and it shows. Tai is very experienced. He advises me on what is best for each car, and when he’s finished with it, the stereo system looks like it was the original equipment from the factory – wires carefully hidden, very clean work.”

“I am a very satisfied, repeat customer of CarTrendz. Tai Nguyen has installed electronics in three vehicles for me – mine, my wife’s and my company vehicle. I basically knew what I wanted, but Tai helped me with his own suggestions and ideas. He installed an alarm system, back-up camera, and LCD televisions in my car. He then installed a back-up camera, DVD player and head-rest LCDs in my wife’s car. When I bought my company vehicle, he installed a Compustar alarm system in it. Every installation was done professionally. I really like the fact that Tai treats my vehicles like they are his own, and that says a lot. He does a neat, clean, professional job. He promises quick turnaround time, and he delivers it.”

I recommend that you go to Car Trendz for their professional service and knowledge on the product side and the quality of their installations. If you have a problem or concern, the owner, Tai Nguyen, is always responsive with great customer service. If there is any problem, he is very flexible and his goal is to make you happy with his work. On my ’06 Chevrolet Avalanche, he installed a rear-view camera, rear fog lights, and a connection so that I could play my iPOD through my stereo system. Well done!”
Jeff Noce

“I really like the fact that Tai Nguyen always tells me the truth about equipment I’m considering buying. He would rather sell me the right things that I need than let me get something that won't last. He installed a great sound system in my Mustang, some other electronics in my Pickup, and has done other installations for my family and my work trucks. Tai does really good, clean work, and he hides all of the wiring. I recommend Car Trendz to my own customers who need electronics installed in their vehicles.”
