Car Accessories in SA, where NOT to go

G'day all

I am not about to deliberately slander any company, but a direct retelling of events.
Wanted to get a boost gauge fitted to my GU Patrol when I was in Adelaide back a few weeks ago. Called up a mob called Car Toyz, who assured me that they had done plenty of 4WD Boost gauge installations before including "the latest model patrols". I explained to them over the phone that I either wanted it recessed in to the centre dash below the sub-tank switch or on top of the dash next to the driver side windscreen pillar, they assured me they could do either.

Rocked up there on the arranged day, they had forgotten to tell me that they had moved from Elizabeth to Hindmarsh despite their whitepages online ad still saying Elizabeth. Left the car with them, 30 mins later after a series of phone calls I have to return as my confidence in their ability to do the job was bleep tered. At the end of the day they could not mount it in either spot I wanted and charged me $180 to do a half-assed job.

Took it in to the local car radio guy today, and was later told by him that the whole install job was that dodgy he ended up stripping it out right back to the boss on the turbo pipe and redoing the installation exactly how I wanted for $50.

Needless to say I would not even consider going to Car Toyz again, or even recommending them to anyone for anything. But maybe my experience was just a once off.
