Dramatic Sound Upgrade Using SoundShield in a 2010 Volkswagen Golf

By

A customer recently came in looking to drastically improve the overall sound quality in their vehicle, a 2010 Volkswagen Golf. After talking with the customer, we decided that the best product for their needs was sound-deadening. Sound-deadening serves to keep road noise out of the vehicle, while ensuring that all of the sound from your speakers won’t escape.

Here at the shop, we use SoundShield, our very own sound-deadening product that was created by the owner of the shop, John Schwartz. It is a triple-layer mat that consists of butyl rubber, high-quality aluminum foil and closed-cell acoustic foam. For this vehicle, we used SoundShield on the two doors and floor, as well as extending it through to the trunk where a big portion of the road noise was coming from.

The customer was extremely happy with the difference that the sound-deadening made and was happy to be able to hear their music without the added distraction of road noise. If you (or anyone you know) are looking to reduce road noise and increase the quality of your sound system, stop by our shop or contact us here.

2010 Toyota Tundra from Anchorage Gets Remote Starter

By

A new client from Anchorage came in with a 2010 Toyota Tundra and inquired about a remote starter. We presented many different options, including the choice of one-way or two-way systems. One-way systems do not give you confirmation that the truck has started on the remote control. A two-way system advises you when the vehicle has successfully started.

The client chose a Compustar CS800. The CS800 is a one-way system with 1,000 feet of range. We scheduled an appointment to install the CS800 on his Tundra.

We started by inspecting and checking all the functions of the truck, using our iPad check-in template. Our technicians use Tesa tape and zip ties, and always solder each and every electrical connection.

Once the job is complete, we have a different technician check the vehicle out. He goes over all the check-in functions and also reviews the work that we performed. In this case, he checked the hood pin, break shutdown, unlock, lock and remote start functions. The hood pin is essential in every remote starter. It lets the remote starter know if the hood is open or closed. If the hood is open and someone tries to remote start the vehicle, it will not start and will give an error. Proper protection like this is a fundamental safety feature, so we install a hood pin on every vehicle.

Before we pull the truck out of our Bay, we place a complimentary Perfectionist Auto Sound and Security bottle of water in the cup holder and add a VIP hanger. We review with the client how to use their new remote starter and answer any questions they might have.
