Excellent service, and really thoughtful installation, they came in Sunday despite being closed specifically to let me pick it up, took time to explain everything, and it is a really good install. Highly recommend…

Let me start by telling you I don't normally write reviews. But my experience with Vanguard Automotive Design was absolutely incredible! All c8 Z06 owners looking to have an uniden r9w installed this is the place. My install is super clean and stealthy. The owner Chris worked tirelessly on my r9w install. Chris is very knowledgeable and will not let your vehicle leave his shop, until he is satisfied with the performance and the esthetics of your install. Zero peal and stick sensor placement. All sensor housings are custom made. All sensors are adjusted and leveled, Chris spent hours designing and testing different sensors locations until he found a location that worked flawlessly. Let me tell you about Seth. Seth is the office manager, talking to him on the phone was an absolute pleasure. When I would email or text, I'm telling you he had an answer before I hit send lol. In conclusion Vanguard did everything they said they would and more! They are definitely built on honesty and integrity. Thanks again Patrick.

They tried to make my audio work but the best solution with them would probably be something plug and play. Having them tune a DSP system from scratch just isnt worth it. I appreciate the effort but it isnt worth the money.

Seth and Chris are number one on my list for any automobile detailing upgrades and Audio sound tuning. I recently had my roof vinyl wrapped PPF gloss black and looks amazing with glass finish. They removed an old wrap that was done a couple of years ago that was installed by another shop that was not installed properly and was stained and peeling off in certain places. They brought out the best in my car and the roof looks like one piece of glass. Beautifully done. Also had them install a sub 10 alpha one woofer with that had to be Dsp tuned and also install a separate knob indiscreetly under steering wheel column for convenience control. Seths communication on the progress of the job was outstanding and Chris is incredible with audio Dsp tuning and super knowledgeable and both very friendly and made me feel welcome and never felt rushed with answering questions. They do everything for cars in detail as if was there own vehicle. Thank you again, Vanguard is TopNotch don’t hesitate to call you won’t regret.

Vanguard has done exceptional work on several of our vehicles—from wrapping our Cadillac CT5-V and installing custom electronics and flush-mounted radar and laser detectors to adding off-road lighting to our Jeep Wrangler. The quality of their work and craftsmanship is consistently outstanding. Their pricing is reasonable, every project has been completed on time, and the finished results have exceeded our expectations. We cannot say enough positive things about Vanguard and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for high-quality, professional automotive customization.

Seth and his team at Vanguard were amazing! He was highly responsive, helped me understand the options for an aftermarket (Bestop) soft top for my new Bronco, made ordering and scheduling easy, and was flexible with the install process and timing when I had to unexpectedly reschedule. Great service and great skill at fair prices are an unbeatable combination and that’s what I got from Vanguard. Highly recommend!

Had an excellent experience with Vanguard Automotive Design. I brought my car in to fix a wideband AFR install that was done incorrectly by another shop, and the difference was night and day. Vanguard quickly identified the issues, properly repaired the exhaust, rewelded the bung the right way, and completely redid the wiring to a clean, OEM-style standard. Everything now works perfectly—the AFR gauge reads correctly, the wiring is neatly tucked and professional, and the car feels exactly how it should. On top of that, they completed everything in about 5 hours, which was a huge improvement compared to my previous experience. Communication was clear, the work was high quality, and you can tell they take pride in doing things the right way. Highly recommend Vanguard Automotive Design if you want the job done correctly the first time.
