How to Choose a Car Stereo Installer

Car stereo systems are an important aspect of any car. Most vehicle owners want a high quality stereo system to listen to during the commute to work or while traveling long distances. The first step in attaining the best possible stereo system for your car, is finding the best installer. We have compiled several questions and ideas for consumers to keep in mind when they are looking for a high quality car stereo installer; they are as follows:

What, if any, certifications does the installer hold? MECP is the most common type of certification for car stereo systems. Look for at least a "Basic Level" certification. An "Advanced" (or formerly "First Class") Installer is the next step up and the most common for experienced installers. Finally, "Master Installer" (Gold) is the highest level and the most difficult to achieve. There are less than 100 Master Installers at any given time so don't expect your local shop to have that level of certification; what you're looking for is proof of certification, not proof of expert certification.

How much experience does the installer have? If they've been installing at the same shop for several years then that's a good sign. Total years experience is also important but don't expect a twenty year veteran. Installers tend to be young and often move on to other ventures.

What training has the installer had? There are several manufacturers that will offer training to installers on site. See if your installer has completed any training of this sort or if they have attended one of the many installation specific schools. This can be a plus but neither is a substitute for install bay experience.

Ask to see the installer's photo album. Most shops and installers will keep a photo album (physical or digital) of the installs they do. This shows what they are capable of and may inspire some ideas for your own system.

If you don't know anyone who has used this installer, then ask if they have any customer testimonial letters. It's good to see that others have used the installer and have been satisfied. Don't be too concerned if they don't have any. These are much more rare than the photo album.

So the next time you are in the market for a car stereo installer, keep these questions and ideas in mind when interview and investigating potential vendors. Contact DeDona Tint & Sound today to start planning your custom car stereo installation project.

Car Alarms – You Need One!

A car is a luxury that many of us take for granted.  We get in ours everyday and drive to work, school, the store, and various other locations without even thinking twice.  But what would happen if our cars were suddenly missing from our lives because we failed to properly secure them?  That is a thought is simply too unpleasant to consider.  So, to prevent such an unpleasant event from happening to you, secure your car with a state-of-the-art car alarm.

Most consumers (especially in today’s economy) can tell you that a car is a big investment.  You put out a lot of money to have convenient transportation that takes you from point “A” to point “B.”  Therefore, it only makes sense to secure this investment, just like you would any other.  Car alarms are the quick and simple solution that could save you hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars.

In the event that your car is vandalized, burglarized, or even stolen, you are left with a daunting tab or a rising insurance premium.  When you have already put so much money into the purchase of a vehicle, why would you risk  shelling out large sums of money to repair or even replace your car, when you could have protected it all along?

The installation of car alarm by a trained professional is quick and painless and will pay for itself in the peace of mind it offers alone.  Why wait another day?  Have a car alarm installed today to protect what is rightfully yours!

For a quote on a custom car alarm installation, contact DeDona Tint and Sound of Greensboro, NC today!  We currently serve High Point, Winston Salem, Burlington, Kernersville and the entire Piedmont Triad.

Custom Window Tinting For Cars, Trucks, SUVs, RVs, and Semi-Trucks

Window tint is an investment in your vehicle. When installed correctly, it offers a variety of benefits to the driver. Whether you own a car, truck, SUV, RV, or semi-truck, tinted windows will keep your ride comfortable all year long.

No matter what type of vehicle you drive, tinted windows can reduce glare and keep your vehicle cooler. In the event of an accident, window tint can help hold together shattered glass to protect the occupants of vehicle. Tinted windows can be a deterrent to potential thieves by preventing them from having a clear view into your car. Plus, tinting gives your vehicle a sleek, sophisticated appearance.

Installing window tint is not a do-it-yourself job. It requires highly skilled technicians who understand the best techniques for installing films. Vehicles must be disassembled as needed to access the glass. The glass must then be thoroughly cleaned before the tint is applied. Without the necessary training and experience, you could damage your glass and end up wasting time and money.

Unlike many other installers, DeDona Tint and Sound uses a technique that allows our trained installers to tint “to the edge” on all roll up windows. The window is covered in film to the edge or bevel, providing our customer with a finish that gives the appearance of being “factory direct”. Most back glass windows are tinted using one solid sheet of film, giving you a smooth gapless install that is virtually worry- free. This type of craftsmanship is unmatched in the area.

DeDona Tint and Sound expertly installs high-grade window tint in cars, trucks, SUVs, RVs, and semi-trucks. Contact us to schedule an appointment. We are located at 5212 W. Market Street in Greensboro—just a short drive from Burlington, High Point, Reidsville, Winston Salem, and the entire Piedmont Triad of NC.

Five Reasons You Need a Remote Start for Your Vehicle

A remote start system is a valuable addition to any vehicle. It not only makes your ride more comfortable by allowing you to warm or cool your car before driving, it can help your engine’s performance as well. With professional installation from DeDona Tint and Sound, you can be enjoying the many benefits of a remote start system in no time.

Comfort: One of the most popular reasons that consumers choose to purchase a remote start is that they want their vehicle to be warm or cool by the time they get in. A remote start enables you to run your air conditioner or heater for a few minutes before you enter the vehicle. This allows your car to reach a comfortable temperature with just the push of a button on your remote control.

Convenience: With a remote start system, you only need to push a button to start your car. This makes warming up your vehicle very easy as you rush around in the morning. You are not stuck sitting in your vehicle while it warms up on cold winter days. Instead, you can stay in your comfortable home and wait.

Safety: Because remote systems feature a locking device, you don’t have to worry about someone driving away with your car while you are warming it up. Plus, with rear defrost activation, you can be sure that your vehicle’s windows are clear for driving.

Engine performance: Giving your engine time to warm up is better for its overall performance.  Warming your engine allows your oil to become more viscous, which provides better lubrication for all of your parts.

Improve Resale Value: A remote start is a valuable addition to your vehicle which can improve resale value when comes time to sell.

Visit DeDona Tint and Sound at 5121 W. Market Street in Greensboro to find out more about a remote start for your vehicle. We provide high quality window tint, custom audio systems, and auto security systems as well. We are conveniently located to serve customers in High Point, Winston Salem, Reidsville, Burlington, and all surrounding areas of NC. Call us at 336-851-1300.

Window Tinting for Stores, Offices, and Restaurants

We all enjoy a beautiful, sunny day. However, if you have to deal with glare or heat from the sun shining through a window, it can be quite uncomfortable for you and your customers. Window tinting for commercial properties, including stores, offices, and restaurants, helps to reduce sun glare, prevent fading of merchandise, and maintain a comfortable indoor temperature.

Storefronts: Window displays are essential for enticing customers into your store. Direct sunlight can fade your merchandise, making it appear dull and virtually unsellable. Window tint can be professionally applied to block harmful UV rays while still allowing customers that pass by to see your displays.

Offices: Many of us spend many hours of our day sitting in front of a computer. Sunlight streaming through a window can cause glare and make it difficult to see the screen. Window tint can reduce glare up to 94%, which helps with eyestrain and improves comfort. Plus, it adds privacy by preventing those individuals passing by from looking into your windows but still allows a clear view out.

Restaurants: If you have ever sat in a restaurant with the sun shining on your face, you know how uncomfortable it can be. You may not only start to feel overheated, but the glare can make it difficult to see or concentrate on your conversation. Even with the blinds pulled, you can often feel the heat of the sun or still be bothered by the glare as the sun peeks through the slats of the blinds. Window tint can block the sun from interfering with your patrons while still allowing the natural light to filter through your restaurant.

No matter what type of commercial property you own or manage, window tint helps you keep the interior temperature regulated. This helps to reduce energy and operating costs, especially with the extreme temperatures of winter and summer. With the rising energy costs that we have seen the past few years, your investment in window tint should pay off in no time.

DeDona Tint and Sound is the premier provider of window tint for commercial properties, homes, and vehicles in the Piedmont Triad of NC. Located in Greensboro, we serve customers in High Point, Winston Salem, Kernersville, Jamestown, Burlington, and beyond.  Call us at 336-851-1300 for a free estimate.

Mobile DVD Systems Make Traveling More Enjoyable

If you have children, you know how impatient they can be when travelling. Smart parents know that a mobile DVD player professionally installed in your vehicle keeps your kids entertained while in the car for long periods of time.  With the flip of a switch, you can turn on a movie and before you know it, you will arrive at your destination without a single “Are we there yet?”

As kids, we probably dreamed of being able to watch our favorite movies while traveling to grandma’s house.  You will be surprised at how affordably you can have a DVD player installed in your vehicle.  Whether you prefer an overhead flip down screen or individual headrest systems, your backseat passengers will be entertained while you drive.

One of the best things about these systems is that you can get headphones for your kids so that you don’t have to listen to their movies or shows over and over again.  Mom and Dad can enjoy their own music or conversation without being disturbed by their children’s entertainment.

A DVD system is pretty basic as far as mobile video systems go.  For those who prefer higher end entertainment solutions for their vehicle, a system that includes live streaming TV, rearview cameras, navigation systems, and more can be installed in your car, SUV, van, or RV.  You will want to speak with a specialist to determine what type of system fits your specific requirements and budget.

DeDona Tint and Sound installs all types of entertainment systems in cars and RVs.  Whether you desire a basic DVD player or a complete, professional mobile video system for your vehicle, we’ve got what you need to enjoy your ride!  Contact us today to find out more.  Located at 5212 West Market Street in Greensboro, we serve clients in Burlington, Reidsville, Elon, Gibsonville, and all surrounding areas of NC.
