I am interested in doing the DVD conversion to my Navi on my 2007 TL. I do not possess the skills to do this myself. Can anyone recommend a shop in Atlanta that can make this happen? Has anyone had a shop do this for them in the Atlanta area? What is the approximate cost?

Thanks

 

If you find a good shop in the Atlanta area, please post.

if i was still in atlanta i'd do it for you guys... i don't know many reputable shops in the area... a lot of shady stuff, but there probably are some good ones in alpharetta...

 

Thanks indianghetto69er.

Surely someone has some sort of recommendation.

 

MB1 in Atlanta. http://mb1motoring.com/ They did my navigation conversion, DVD conversion, and audio setup. They do amazing work. Call and ask for Melvin. Tell him Henryk from the forum sent you.

 

Also, PM ITL. He lives in the area and knows his stuff.

 

I was thinking the same thing Henry. ITL's setup is genius.

 

Sound Sensations off of hwy41/cobb parkway have always done a great job with my cars, ask for Brian...it might cost you a little more than a local shop, but they know what their doing...which is alway a good thing. my guess is that it would cost aruond $400.

 

Thanks dan k. Can you tell me approximately how much it cost you?

 

Thanks tinley. Did you have yours done there? Does that cost include the DVD itself?

 

i havent had anything done there on my TL except for window tint, they did a hell of a job on my Grand Cherokee though... i would think that price would include the player, i had talked to another shop about doing the DVD conversion and $400 is the price they quoted me,that shop was called Audio Trix in East Cobb.

 

I got everything done at once. So I really can't tell you how much that would cost. As far as shops go, MB1 does the best work in the area. Melvin should give you a good price. Take a look at the box they built for me:

Thanks dan k. I'll check them out. Nice setup.

 

Yeah, he's the man. ITL has helped me out numerous times. Actually his prices would be a lot better than MB1's. And his work is just as good.

 

I am not familiar with ITL. Is that a member or a business?

 

He's a member. If you search you can find him although I haven't seen him on here for awhile. I have his number. I'll call him and tell him to send you a PM. Good Luck!

 

Anybody know any TL carpc setups in Atlanta? I'd love to find someone who could help me out with the stock screen secondary input setup.

Holy tinley the geologist...

Tell Jeff that Kirk sent you.

K

 

If dan.....k is recommending a shop, I'd definitely trust it. He's had a LOT of work done around town and won't settle for anything less than the best.

dan....k and alpha, thanks for the good words. I found this thread after Mick contacted me.

Henryk, I got a new phone recently and lost your number. Text it to me when you get a chance.

 

Any of you guys know of a great tinter, with fair price, that uses moleskin?

 

Another great shop is area 41 in Cobb.. http://www.a-41.com/

 

Allpro window tinting in holly springs is great. Tell Chris that Spence sent you. He does an awesome job. www.allprowindowtinting.com 770-479-8468.

I might use one of these referrals if ya'll dont care.

 

If Marietta is convenient for you contact Brian at Sound Sensations ( 770.429.1600 ) on Hwy 41 near South Marietta Pkwy. They have done all of my cars & trucks for over 20 years. Keith Gantt is their lead technician and is one of the best guys around.

 

Not trying to talk sh*t here but...I'm in the market to have an amp installed to power a jl8w3 I'm putting in. I called around to see who would install for the cheapest. Sound senations was by far the most expensive. Most shops said they would do around 100 for the install. Sound sensations said 200! The source audio which is on roswell road is the cheapest so far at 90.

 

I'm getting my tint done soon. Where did you guys get yours done?

 

So are you looking for the cheapest price quoted over the phone or have you been to both places and shown them what you need to do ?

I'm surprised you got a verbal quote at all from anyone who does professional installations. Perhaps the $200 was was intended to send you elsewhere

 

Maybe so and I have no problem going somewhere else...I called audio trix and Eric told me they'd install for $80...

 

Eric is a friend of mine...he knows his shit and will treat you right

 

It's been my experience that the majority of the time, you get what you pay for...there's probably a reason $90 is the cheapest.

 

I personally had a bad experience at sound sensations when I went there three years ago. It just depends on who you get to do the work.

I had new speakers and amp installed there on my bmw and after 6 months, it started to crackle and no sound would come out from one side whenever I went over a speed bump. I took it back to sound sensation over three times and they couldn't figure out what was wrong. They blamed it on my stock amplifier and even after taking it out, it still did the same thing.

I've heard other people that had a great experience there, that's why the place is always so busy but I personally won't go there. I ended up having the entire audio system redone at cartunes on Roswell road.

 

Well I had my system installed in my old car at hifi-buys and had work done at circuit city paid top dollar and terrible experiences...so like somebody already said it depends on the person working on your car and how much they respect your vehicle and take their time.
