I had an alarm installed on my 2016 Honda Fit by Hi Tech Automotive that didn't appear to be very effective. I went back to Hi Tech to ask them about it and inquire about having them install a motion detector to make the alarm more effective. They told me they don't do that kind of work and that I should go to Cash & Carry Electronics since I would be able to get that kind of work done there.
After Amir at C&C looked at the installation Hi Tech did, I was told that a motion detector would not be a good idea and that a level sensor might be a better way to go. He also told me that Hi Tech had installed the shock sensor that came with the alarm by bolting it to a solid metal surface when the alarm installation instructions say it should be installed to a wire loom and not bolted to a solid metal surface. I was told that a level sensor and repositioning the shock sensor would run about $65.00. It was a Friday, so I told him I would tell Hi Tech about this and get back to C&C the next week some time.
I returned to C&C on Monday without going back to Hi Tech and asked them to just reposition the sensor to see if that corrected the problem. After about 20 minutes and $25.00, the car was done. That night, I was surprised at what a difference this made. The alarm was much more effective with the sensor mounted on a wire loom, and I even had to reduce the sensitivity of the shock sensor so the alarm wouldn't go off when a motorcycle or a car with a loud...
Read moreI needed a battery isolator installed to fix a front battery drain issue. I had already ordered the isolator online. I stopped by cash and carry and Amer (store owner) took a look at my car, system, and setup and told me he would put it in for 40 bucks. I called around town and everyone else wanted 60 dollars or more for the same job. Naturally I brought it back to Cash & Carry because the price was much better. I mentioned to Amer that for some reason the siren on my car alarm wasn't working and wondered if I could also get an estimate on fixing that while they install the isolator. To my pleasant surprise they fixed the siren free of charge and included it in my already amazingly priced 40 dollar install. I highly doubt I could have found this level of care for the price I paid anywhere else in Albuquerque. Great job C&C I will be coming back to you guys the next time I need...
Read moreFound this place on google maps when I needed a system over labor day weekend. First off they have a MUCH bigger selection of speakers then any other store I have seen.
I went in and purchaced two 12" Digital Design 9500 subs, All 4 door speakers DD, 2 DD amps and a deck. They game me what I felt was a good price for everything. (having my cell in hand to look up the prices online)
I told them I was from out of town and needed my system finished on Sunday night the latest to drive back to Texas. Turns out they finished it in 1 day. They even stayed about 3 hours past closing time to finish it up for me wile I was there making small talk.
Not only did they stay 3 hours to finish it for the $ but they actually really wanted to personally see how hard this set up was going to...
