Perfection at it's best! I've watched Nick's build logs for many years and knew that when the time came, he would absolutely be the one I'd choose to build a top notch SQ system. I had reached out to Nick about a year ago to begin planning for this project. I chose my Genesis G70 as the template for this build. When I first reached out to Nick, we were on the phone the same day going over what I wanted and what I was looking for. Within an hour of our first conversation, I had received quotes at different tier levels depending on how crazy I was willing to get. It was at this point where I decided that if we're gonna do this, let's do it right. Equipment chosen for this build included Accuton Ceramic 3-way components, AE IB15 subs, Illusion Audio 10" sub in passenger footwell, Helix processor and amps, as well as OEM integration. The exterior of the car was to receive paint correction, ceramic coating and Xpel paint protection. I had chosen to ship my car to him as I felt it was the easiest route. And it was indeed, it was there in 3 days. Nick's communciation was fantastic throughout the entire build. Coming down to the design and creation of this masterpiece, I am a firm believer in letting the professionals do what they do best. I gave him only one request, to use two AE IB15's mounted on a trunk baffle. Everything else was left entirely in he and his team's hands. They were free to let the creativity flow. A lot of work went into this build, and they exceeded my expectations in every way. From it's elegant looks to it's phenomal sound quality, it ticks every box that one would come to expect from this crew. Even after receiving my car back from him, he was still not done. Nick is a true professional. After having the car for a couple of months for a complete break in, he flew down to my home state for some fine tuning. Climate, environment and even my exact seating position are all taken into account for the final tuning. And one more important note to add, Nick is a master at tuning. I think he spent about 16hrs in the car over the day and half he was here, going over every nuance and detail. The end result....astonishing! Everything about this build is top notch. The attention to detail, the professionalism and creativity all speak volumes. This was the system that I literally dreamed about having for a long time, and Nick and his crew made it happen. Congrats gents, much appreciated for all of your hard work in making this a reality. And thank you Nick, you are a one of a kind.

Recently purchased my dream car, and Nick and his team installed Radenso radar detector and laser defense system as well as paint protective film and ceramic coating. Nick and his team expertly crafted interior and exterior fittings for the Radenso - the ultimate in stealth and good looks. Exterior looks 100% better with coating and protection. Nick's work gives me peace of mind that my baby is fully protected. Nick returns texts and calls immediately. Nick is kind, professional, patient and just a joy to deal with. On this last point, this tends to be an industry with a shady rep, and before I met Nick, I was potentially dealing with guys who I felt very uncomfortable with. Nick is the opposite -- an honest, nice guy who really knows what he's doing. I'd give Vanguard Automotive 100 stars if I could and highly recommend them.

If I could give these guys 100 stars I would. The absolute best customer service and attention to detail. The sound system Nick and his crew put in my car is second to none. I honestly didn’t expect it to sound so perfect. Their knowledge of oem integration is phenomenal. I’ll be back without a doubt. BTW I live six hours away.

10/10 would recommend for anyone looking to get stereo work done. These guys are the best in the business. I brought my car to them and asked if they could install a CarPlay system that other shops struggled to install. These guys got it done within an hour and I’ve had no problems with it.
