I saw someone post a similar question for companies in Socal, so I thought I'd test Ohio. I want to get through a reputable/reliable company. I'm not necessarily concerned with the price as long as it's realiable, and most importantly, done right. I can go basically anywhere between Cleveland and Columbus, and maybe even Cincinnati. If anyone has any input, please let me know. I don't like driving around in my car with no security system. Thanks!

 

I don't know of any good shops, but I do know of a couple bad ones.

First: "Image Audio"/"Exotica" suck, stay away from them.
Second: "Columbus Car Audio and Accessories" - they do a good job of running the wires and all, but I talked to them when I was getting parts for my amplifier install and asked about an 8 awg crimping connection supplies and the guy said he actually cut off some of the individual fibers to make 10 awg fit. That prevents me from having them do any work.

I know that doesn't help you on which shop to go to, but it tells ya where not to go.

BTW, you signed up for the Columbus meet at QS&L?

 

hey..thanks for your advice. I'm still looking around and haven't found anyone reliable yet for both security, and stereo. I guess stereo, I can do most of it myself (the wiring will be the biggest pain). Everything else for me will be pretty-straightforward (for now).
I'm trying to find a reputable security system installer, and I'm coming up empty. I'm sure Best Buy is not the answer. *sigh*. What's QS&L? Let me know.. Thanks!

 

Just to clarify on those places I mentioned, Image/Exotica is in the Marion and Delaware area and Columbus Car Audio and Accessories is obviously in Columbus with a few locations.

ah...icic... duh..QS&L (i thought it was some sound-off).hehehehe..
I wish I could make it, but i'm hosting a work-function that Sunday.. ugh.. maybe I'll catch you guys in the spring/summer. (and btw..I WISH we'd see 70+ weather in March). Salt is killing my car
Thanks for the help!
