I usually don't take time to write reviews, but I had such a negative experience with Jorge at Pacific Sound I wanted potential customers to be aware before doing business here.
I purchased a Viper Alarm system for $689 and paid $200 for the install in July 2021. Two months later in September 2021 a car accidentally backed up into my car, and I noticed my alarm would start to go off intermittently. This would happen when I was in the car when the alarm was disarmed and it would also happen when I was not in the car when the alarm was armed.
I called Jorge to ask if he could take a look at the sensors of the alarm since it was not working properly. He quickly got me in for an appointment and confirmed there was nothing wrong.
When I left his shop I noticed that my dash cams were no longer receiving power, nor was my USB cell phone charger. I had my dash cams installed by another vendor and quickly called Jorge to let him know of the new problem he caused.
The wiring that powers my dash cams and USB cell phone charger was located next to the wiring of the car alarm and I let Jorge know it might have accidentally been unplugged when they were checking the alarm.
When I brought my car back, Jorge unplugged and replugged the wiring to my dash cam, which powered it back on for 30 seconds before it failed.
I brought my car back a third time in the same day and he unplugged and replugged the power once again.
It worked temporarily and once I started driving it once again failed.
I was frustrated because I brought my car to have the alarm checked that he installed, and now he caused the problem of my dash cams and USB charger to no longer work.
When I asked him to make this right, he pointed the finger at the other vendor who installed my dash cam and said they used cheap wiring.
Jorge said he would charge me $100 to repair the wiring for the dash cam. At this point I became frustrated because I brought my car in for one problem, the alarm, and while that was being checked, Jorge caused a problem with my dash cam that I did not have before and wanted to charge me to replace the wiring.
I was disappointed with the unprofessional service he provided and asked for a refund on the alarm I purchased from him for $889 total, $689 for alarm & $200 for install.
He said he doesn't give refunds but offered to buy the alarm from me for $300, what a robbery. I agreed to this nasty deal so I could be done with this subpar businessman Jorge and use the $300 to go back to the vendor who installed my dash cams and have it done correctly.
Future Pacific Sound customers beware, and be cautious of coming here for your car audio needs.
You might come in to have something looked at or installed and leave with a new problem you didn't have before you came in.
Jorge should be ashamed of himself for causing problems that were nonexistent before I came to him and wanting to charge me to repair the problems he caused with my dash cams.
If I could rate Jorge and Pacific Sound 0 stars I would, they are truly 0 star worthy .
