Again, I am very late to this thread. I don't get on the forums as much as I should. But to explain why a place like this is in business still. They are considered a middle man hub to a much larger distribution center from Ohio. I attempted to do business with that company a few years back and instead I was directed to David G for service. And of course this idiot wanted to do things under the table. My Credit agency was not good enough. They needed cash to do business. Yeah I backed out and never went back. Plus they wanted a minimum down payment for merchandise when they main company that they get merchandise from does not require anything.
I hear nothing but bad complaints from this company and to be honest, I am surprised myself why they are still open. I guess the fire they set back in 2013 was an intentional way to get insurance money lol. Either way, They do not get anything direct from the manufactures. So yes they will mark up the price a little more.
Now someone posted on this thread about an alarm or remote start. In my experience, I can tell you over the phone, What you will need, what could possibly be needed for additional features and as for price of installation. It should always be a flat rate no matter what. If I have to charge by the hour then something is really wrong.
Prices go up and down each year. Depending on the market and the need to stay afloat. My business is still stuck on the 2005 pricing guides and I do not believe that the prices should go up. The vehicles just get harder but my skills and knowledge of those vehicles allow me to get the jobs done in an effective time and manner.
If you want a legit price for the NC area and need to know if you are being ripped off. Contact me at my business email and I will attempt to assist you the best I could.
[email protected] and be sure to let me know what you're working with.
Also for those of you that will try and say I am just shooting for business. I am no longer in the business of accepting new customers at this time. Although I still install audio, I am no longer attempting to take on new automotive clients at this time.
P.S. The only thing the military will do when you report this to the BBB, is to inform the soldiers not to go there. If they do, they are on their own and the military will not support them if they get ripped off. Pointless to even report the company. Soldiers will still get ripped off and its a **** shame Banging Systems gets away with it. It's BS just like their name abbreviation is.
