Fair enough. Like I said there are maybe three installers in my entire district that I'd trust to work on my car. People who get stuff done where I work know the quality of my work so I've worked on Porsches, Vipers, older Ferraris, 1000hp Camaros

I would recommend not getting in a hurry for the install. See if you can go into the install shop and talk to the installer(s). I learned a lot from the Best Buy guy that I spoke with years ago.

Of course, by me learning from him, I did it myself and he didn't make any money, but I would have trusted him.

Over the years I have spoken with 2 different installers where the salesman were idjuts, but the installers were very into what they were doing.
Like anything else these days, it can be a crap shoot, but if you spend some time observing, you can usually figure out the quality.

Fact: People that don't give a crap about their job, NEVER do a good job.

I should add that it wasn't a Best Buy that butchered my dash so I can't comment on the quality of their work.
