Sexual Harrassment
Do not go to the Car Toys in Tacoma, the Manager their, Marcus will try to screw anybody's wife he comes in contact with. I will not give out his last name, but I am pretty sure you will figure it out if you come in contact with him at the store. Trust me, I have personal experience with this scum bag. If you do go, please do not leave your gf or wife alone at ALL with this home wrecker, he will do anything and say anything to screw your girl or wife. Anyways, it's a crappy store, you can get better service and products at Best Buy.

Deceptive Pricing
I bought a car alarm from Car Toys during their "no sales tax" sale. First of all the alarm I purchased was listed in the store as $449.99 installed. Wrong! I was charged $469.85. Apparently they tack on an additional $22.38 and call it a parts charge. I had a standard installation and had no extras added to the alarm. I was told this is to cover zip ties, connections, and tape. You can buy a lifetime supply of these for 22.38 and if this is a standard install why don't they advertise the alarm at $469.85 installed!! Here's the kicker...I was also charged $44.64 in sales tax!! I have had 2 employees at Car Toys explain this to me andtell me this is correct and I still have no idea what they are talking about. They are trying to tell me that there is tax on the installation not the alarm??!! So I guess I paid 19% tax on installation?? On the receipt they list the alarm at $223.73 and Miscellaneous at 223.74...what the??? Bottom line...a car alarm advertised at $449.99 installed with no sales tax cost $514.49?????? Go ahead and shop here if you want to look like a complete idiot...I'm done!

Car Alarm
We had Car Toys of Federal Way WA. install a car alarm when the car was about 3 years old and in pristine condition. We purchased the car new.
We noticed the alarm system did not work properly and in addition the installers scratched the underneath of the dash board and it came apart. The knobs that control the fan positions were damaged as well and have never worked right since then.We had our mechanic reattach the dash board.
When we returned the car to Car Toys in a timely manner and showed them the damage and the alarm not working the counter person told us to "go elsewhere." That's just what we'll do if we need any accessories.
I strongley suggest people go elsewhere too and please stay away from Car Toys!

Installation incompetence
I work for a company who recently had a rear-view camera installed in a company vehicle for the purpose of using a monitor to see any objects that are behind you while backing out. They used a Car Toys location in Hurst, Texas near North East Mall. The monitor they had mounted to the dashboard had holes for screws in the base to insure that it is secured to said dashboard. Instead of installing it properly, they used a double-sided adhesive foam strip, which was weak at best. Due to the heat from the sun, many employees had issues with the monitor remaining secure to the dashboard, because the adhesive strip had melted. Because of their incompetence, the monitor had slipped between the dash and the driver side door, and was crushed as I had entered the vehicle and closed it in the door. My employer had taken it back to the location, spoke with the manager, and was told that the best they could do was a lousy 10% discount. I'm stuck paying my employer for the rest of the cost for a new unit. It seems to me that a discount offered of any kind is an admittance of guilt on their part for the installation. Do not make the same mistake we made.

Lies, hides and takes advangate
Car Toys salesmen are nothing but "Used Car Salesman" in training. They lie, they hide and they take advantage of their customers.

I purchased a $700+ stereo system from them. They had me "make an appointment" to have it installed the next day, only when I showed (on time) for my appointment, their bays were full! I was told it would be 2-3 hours to do a simple install. I saw right away they were putting me off to finish the cars they took in as walk ins! I expressed my anger and told them I would be back in 2 hrs and this better be done. And it was.

Fast forward 1.5 mos and the unit is now malfunctioning. I returned yesterday and they told me to make another appointment so they can "diagnose" the problem and possibly fix it. If they can't fix it they will request a replacement from Pioneer. I'm sorry, why is this my problem? Why should I wait for a replacement? Why can't they take one out of THEIR STOCK and wait for their replacement! They, after all, sell and represent this product, they should not inconvenience the customer for the fault of the product! So I again expressed my anger & frustration but they were insistent this was their protocol; to fix or wait for a replacement. (and how am I going to know I'm getting a "new" replacement and not a "refurbished" replacement??

Just another company that insists on immediate payment but drags *** to fix a product they sell AND REPRESENT!

Damaged car
Car Toys is a dishonest, unprofessional, and sloppy operation. I brought in my BMW to have an iPod connection installed and they assured me they had the right tools to do the job. When I got my car back there were 2 large chips in my wood veneer console, where the installer had simply pried off the piece with a screwdriver. To make it worse, they denied they did it, falsified the paperwork I had completed when I dropped the car off, and tried to make it look like the damage was there before I brought in the car. Avoid this company at all costs, because it will cost you in more ways than one. I've never seen a company with worse overall customer service. They should be ashamed.

Cell Phone Warranty
Car Toys Totem Lake Kirkland Washington is horrible! We've had nothing but problems with cell phone contracts and phones. DON'T EVER DO BUSINESS WITH THEM!!!

My husband purchased a T-Mobile G-1 for me as a Christmas present and also purchased the additional 2 year replacement warranty for $199.99- my husband was told that if anything happens to the phone I could just bring it in and it would be replaced. My phone just died for no reason. I took it in and they could not find any damage and their comment was "I guess you're lucky that way..." The phone is less than 5 months old. The assistant manager JT said I will need to send in my phone to the manufacturer. I showed him our paperwork that showed the proof of additional insurance (which by the way is exorbinant) and he said their insurance doesn't cover the phone so I need to send it in to the manufacturer. I am in sales and rely on my phone for business and cannot do business without the phone. I need a replacement phone and right now I am losing business and they will not replace the phone. We will never do business with them again and I am getting the word out. Their promises and their business is a total SCAM!!!

Cell phone
I read the complaints about Car Toys but didn't believe them. I had purchased a car stereo system with no problem. Not so with cell phones. I spent 3 1/2 hours in the store getting my account established, etc. I was courteous and let the salesman move to other customers without complaint. Purchased 3 cell phones with new AT&T account. I tried to convince my wife to purchase the same phone I had. She insisted on a different one. We were assured that we could change it to the same as mine within 30 days ... no problem. Until we tried it. At first they were going to give us no credit for her phone and charge new price for the update. When I complained they then said we were too late to change anyway because they have a 14 day return policy. I showed them the 30 day policy I had in writing, but was told they did not honor that. All this with another store employee telling the Manager I was correct in what I was telling him. Don't go to Car Toys in Fort Worth, Texas. You are sure to be burned.

Never again
I purchased the Car Toys Extended Warranty for my Blackberry. There is a hole in the phone to connect a lanyard so you can hang the phone around your neck. The lanyard swung as I was closing my car door and the phone came apart. It will not snap back together, so I called their so called customer service. Instead of getting the phone replaced under warranty within 48 hours as promised by the salesman when I purchased it, I am getting the run around. They told me they would have to send the file to corporate and have them decide if I had been negligent. I don't think so. Accidents happen. I will never purchase anything from Car Toys again.

Don’t ever take your car there
I had an auto alarm installed on my vehicle I had just purchased a month prior... When the technician attempted to show me a demo on how it functioned, he hit my windshield thus causing the alarm to go off. Then he hit it again, harder this time, and cracked my windshield. Here I am trying to prevent my windows from being broke and protect my investment, and their very own employee breaks my window. Instead of making it priority number one, he told me I had to come back the next day, and see if they could get one of their guys who strictly did windows to repair. And I had to *** with an unsafe vehicle. The technician never finished explaining the alarms function to me, and when I got to work, I opened my trunk, and realized, they never wired the trunk. This is where most of my valuables are placed, and they didn't arm it? It was my first time there and my last... I intend on contacted the corporate office... the companies CEO, and the better business bureau...the service that was provided by them was downright lousy, and they exercised imcompetence, and negligence.. Don't EVER take your care there! The location was 2801 Central Expressway in Plano Texas, 75075 phone number 972-516-8695
