Friends aren't always the best installers; look for a professional installation center!
You need to have the brand-new, amazing sound system you just bought installed. Perhaps you could ask a friend to install your system in exchange for a case of beer, which you'd gladly help them finish, but in the long run, this could end up being expensive, given that your friend probably doesn't have the time, knowledge, or proper tools to do the job. There are too many things a person needs to know for an installation to be done correctly. So, the main problem in having a sound system that meets your needs is finding the right installation workshop, with highly qualified and experienced staff.
But how do you find an installer you can entrust with your car audio system? In general, it is not a very difficult search. In fact, many installers are also looking for clients; the only thing we need to do is bring these two needs together. To help you, we present a series of questions that we can ask the installer before leaving our vehicle, dictated by common sense and my own experience.
1. How many similar projects did the installer do last year?
Some installers may make it seem like they specialize in all types of projects, but if you ask them to put it into numbers, you will probably get a more realistic idea of how competent they are for what you want them to do. If they are truly as skilled as they claim, they should be able to give you a list of completed projects, listing their features.
2. Does the shop have a list of previous clients for you to consult as references?
Practically any qualified installer and any independent company dedicated to installations will be able to offer you a list of references, that is, a list of satisfied clients. Occasionally, installers who are very proud of their work have a photo album of what they have done on hand.
3. Who will actually carry out the work?
Before hiring an installer, this is perhaps the most important aspect, yet it is usually the most neglected. This step consists of verifying on your own that the installer is actually qualified for the job.
First of all, never entrust your car to anyone who does not have top-tier knowledge. They must demonstrate to you that they are constantly training. You will probably encounter installers who say they do not need to train, since they have been doing this for many years, which indicates that they have stopped learning new things during that time, and they represent a risk to your vehicle. Any installer with the right attitude should be very eager to prove that they have earned their place in this industry, and for that, nothing is better than continuous training.
Training and education
An installer who trains at schools specializing in automotive electronics and at workshops that teach courses on advanced installation techniques will demonstrate that they have solid knowledge in the true physics of automotive sound systems and not strange ideas floating around in all those Internet forums.
A novice installer who learned the trade without the advantage of formal training is prone to messing up at some point, and if you give them the chance, that could happen to your vehicle.
Installers know their business very well and like to get to work, but they are often not very good at discussing things. These men of action are very interested in making things start happening, rather than talking about how to do it. But we need to sit down and talk with them until they perfectly understand what you want in your system. Make sure to ask the relevant questions to confirm that you are on the same page.
Oh, and another thing, it would be good for you to have an open mind to follow some of the installer's recommendations, instead of clinging to doing everything you had thought of; after all, remember that the installer knows this field very well.
The main reason a client loses trust in an installer is simply a matter of communication. If they deliver an installation that is not what you wanted in the beginning, you are wrong to blame the installer by calling them dishonest or incompetent. Sometimes the amount of work and the degree of detail—and therefore the cost of the installation—is not made perfectly clear during the prior discussion.
Fair payment
Finally, you must be aware that you can buy the same product from different suppliers, and we always opt for the lowest price. Now, I consider that the selection of an installer is much more important than the brand of a product. Installation is about personal taste, so never question the value of the necessary work.
You must find out in advance what the installer is offering you in exchange for the money you pay them, but if you want a lower price, then perhaps they will resort to a series of budget cuts with results you hadn't anticipated. When installers realize that they are receiving a fair fee for their work, they respect you as a client. Remember, if you pay peanuts, you'll be hiring monkeys.
We have never needed professional, trained, and educated technicians in the automotive industry as much as we do now. Do not forget to trust your intuition; if you notice something that doesn't seem right with your installer, then you had better keep looking.
Additional recommendations
1. Meet the installer in person and explain what you want done.
2. Verify the certification of the courses they claim to have taken.
3. Listen to the installer's suggestions or alternative ideas.
4. Make sure it is very clear to you how much the installation and the necessary accessories will cost.
5. Be kind to the installer, even if only to offer yourself as a reference or recommendation for other clients. I have discovered that buying them a beer or a soda is a very well-received form of recognition.
6. There are junk versions and high-class versions of the same job, so you must decide in advance if you want a "quick and dirty" job or if you are truly interested in something that will be built to last a long time. Remember that free installations are free for a very good reason.
7. Give enough time. It is common for installers to be delayed, and the pressure exerted by an impatient client can lead to serious errors.
8. Do not change aspects of the installation on the fly. You must have a plan beforehand and then stick strictly to it.
9. You must choose a workshop that is up to the task of the installation; a department store will not be suitable at all for a competition system.
10. Have them make a detailed list of everything you are paying for, and get it in writing!
