- Avital Alarm System Installation - - Anonymous user - 9/26/2014 - comment
I called Car Audio Depot for an alarm system quote, and spoke to Ron. He sold me an Avital system installed the next day. As I started my car after the job was done, it made a loud noise until I removed it from "park" mode. The noise continued and I called their store and then drove to their store to have it checked out. The salesman came out and stated as did the employee by phone, who wouldn't give his name, that the issue had nothing to do with their installation. When I drove the car over to Modesto have them check their work, knowing that it MOST LIKEY WAS CONNECTED TO THE INSTALLATION--they simply said that it could not be from their installation and it sounded like my starter! The noise got progressively worse daily and I took it to my very reputable auto mechanic shop in business for decades, and they confirmed that someone connected an alarm wire to the starter wiring under the dash and that it caused the starter to stay engaged continually, which could cause starter damage. The mechanics disengaged that wire and my car now functions as it should. Auto Depot manager "Ron" was disrespectful and would not listen to me, but continued to interrupt me, and appeared to be lacking in professionalism, to say the least. I asked to speak to the owner, and Ron stated that he was not available, after he told me that he was on site. Called back, asking for name of other owner and advised he is a "silent partner" and that owner Randy is now at the bank--he would be given the message to call me. What kind of a company is this? Stay tuned, folks. to find out the character of Car Audio Depot.
