The lower mainland has lots of good installers and good stores to choose from. Some of them are members on this site, others are past members and some are not members at all. Go and talk to the guys and you will get a good feel for the right one for you to do business with.

Rob and Paul at FS in Chilliwack can do some really nice custom stuff. You just have to ask 
Tim at ******* can do some clean work, as can the guys at Speaker City and Boyz Audio. Audiolines has always had a good rep for doing very nice work. Those are shops I know of though that I've seen nice work come out of, but the individual people I can't really comment on. Those who I named specifically I know can treat your install right.

Everyone has their speciality. Mine is vehicle security. I've been hiding equipment in cars for 16 years.
I was taught by a guy who's job it was to teach 14 year old kids how to break into cars.
I see a lot of installers doing car alarms, but there is a vast difference!
If you're looking for vehicle security, I'm one of the best in North America.

I thought 14 year old kids just like to pop locks and break steering columns. If it was say career car thieves who make money from stealing high-end rides and have to bypass security systems, that I'd say that would be impressive.

Pride and integrity have a lot to do with my post regarding my ability. Do you take pride in your chosen vocation? Do you use integrity every single time you work, no matter how much you get paid?
I take the time to ask the questions, check the angles, take the vehicle apart to get the best for my customers every time, even if I don't like them, if they are not willing to pay what I want.
My customers get vehicle security, not just a car alarm. I refuse to be a slam shop! I've worked for them before. It sickened me to watch other guys throw an alarm in without integrity. I could see the vulnerability. It didn't make any sense.
That's why I'm one of the best. Are you the best you can be in your field? If not, why not?
Reputation can grow like a bad weed, or it can flourish like the west coast trees.
After 16 years of learning and growing, I reserve the right to toot my own horn!
