Safe and Sound Auto Accessories — Local services in Four Corners States

AWFUL! I can't understand how everyone has put great ratings for the place. Either people don't care about the quality of the shop itself, or in 3 months(most recent review) the place went to hell. I parked my car and went to the open garage door and was horrified at what I saw. Nothing but furniture piled on more furniture. No doubt recycled to use for upholstery. Nothing wrong with that at all but they were ALL covered with dirt, the garage itself looked trashy. An appearance that brings to mind the people that horde stuff in their sheds that they never use and sit there for years. Since I was there for checking different stores on prices and such for audio systems I went ahead in the store and was hoping it would be better. It was just as bad as the garage. Audio shops usually have the wall displays of various speakers offered. This place had one wall, however all holes were completely empty except for one 6x8, and another of the same size hanging from its hole by its cords. I turned around and left. Why would I possibly think of asking anything about what I need if that was the condition they kept their store in. Just to say, I am not unhappy about the store's location. Many auto places have the garage and smaller inside room that business is done in. It reminded me of some restaurants I had been to and the floors, tables, counters, EVERYTHING looked disgusting and leaving because if it looked like that, how clean was the kitchen that the food was being made in? Same principle. Things don't have to be shiny for me, but really, why would I think about shopping somewhere that looked like it had gone out of business years ago and what was there was the leftover crap they didn't want to take the time to put in a dumpster... Oh, as for marking poor service. They didn't even know I entered the main room, I peeked through the door to the garage and saw 2 guys working with material, less than 15 feet from me. I said "hello" quite a few times and got no response. AND, people here shouldn't be comparing this place being better than bestbuy and car toys. These are more basic stores that won't have the big brand names and extremely good quality (when coming to more intense sound systems). If you want the good stuff it is only logical you go to a specified car audio shop, as they will have better knowledge and wider variety available to the customers. So, those comparisons are kind...

I had purchased a used truck and to my surprise it had a remote start and keyless entry system on it made by Compustar. I never had anything like that on any of cars before so it was a nice surprise added on with the purchase. The car dealer ship did not know anything about it and did not have any of the remotes. In looking for someone local that may have the parts or the knowledge as to what system I have and what it would take to get it working again. I went to my local auto repair center that I have trusted with all my other vehicles. Only to be told the system I have is very old and that company went out of business and there for should be replaced. Then I thought I would try Car Toys. They told me it was an amateur job, and they never heard of Compustar, they would need to take it out and install one of their basic system. In my continuing search to find some place local I Went to Best By and they had the remote from Compustar I needed. After purchasing them I was unable to make the new remotes work. So I went to Compustar’s web site and located Safe and Sound Auto in Longmont, I called them up they told me no problem the system I have is a very good system and to bring it on up and they would take a look at it. Later that day they took out my control box and made sure it was working, and updated the firmware on it, and reinstalled it then programed my remotes to work with it and they were done. I was also surprised to find out it was also a full blown alarm system to. They had to replace the horn, and installed the new antenna that came with the remotes, and charged me a minimal fee for the New Horn and labor to program the remotes update the firmware for the controller and install the new horn. I just wished more people were honest like the people at Safe and Sound Auto. Its really ok to say you don’t know, or we don’t sell that product and there for we do not know anything about it, but we do sell similar systems, we could install one for you if you can’t find anyone to work on it. I was so please with Safe and Sound Auto I also purchased some add on’s for my compustar system. If you are looking for electronics for you vehicle, I would highly recommend Safe...

Add another EXTREMELY satisfied customer to the list of people who have had the pleasure of working with Mike and Safe and Sound Auto Accessories. I had been having troubles with the stereo system in my Jeep for over 8 years... shortly after being installed by a big-name company that went out of business shortly after the installation. I finally took the time to get it looked at and knew that I wanted to support a local business rather than give more money to a larger company that was more concerned with taking my money than making sure I was satisfied as a customer. I live in Loveland and searched for businesses local to my area and saw the great online reviews that Mike had received. I decided that the drive to Longmont would probably be worth it so I called to make an appointment with him to have a look at my dysfunctional stereo system. When I arrived, he immediately began taking things apart and diagnosing what could be wrong. Immediately he found the issues causing the problems. As other reviewers have stated, his attention to detail and quality were impressive. He doesn't just want to get the work done and get you out the door--he wants to make sure that the work he does lasts! That kind of pride in workmanship is rare these days. In less than an hour my system was back up and running and thumping away just as it had done all those years ago. Dare I say it sounded even better than when it was first installed which I attribute to Mike's attention to detail and fixing some of the jerry-rigged wiring the previous installer did. And the price for his services really cannot be beat. Oh, and on top of all that, he's a really nice guy and fun to chat with while he does the work. I am THRILLED with the results and plan on using Mikes services again in the near future to install a different deck as well as fixing some paint issues on the vehicle. A man of many talents that is absolutely deserving of the many accolades he's received thus far online. I would not hesitate to recommend his services to anyone who's looking to have this type of work done. Don't waste your time or money with the big names when you have a gem like this in...
