I paid $63.00 for a Basic car stereo Install only to go to the Installer and get charged another $62.?? in fees. I basically paid $125.00 in istallation services since I was still charged more at the Installation place. Yes, I know my vehicle needs specific harness, bracket, etc. but, $125.00 install fee's just to INSTALL a simple car deck. As a matter of fact, the fee's were more than the stereo itself!!!
The Installer (at CAR TOYS) told me if I went straight through them I would have been charged $40. for basic install PLUS $62.00 for the brackets, harness, etc. SOUNDS Like I could have SAVED $20. + DEALING DIRECTLY WITH THEM!!!! (Hmmm, what can I do with that extra $20??? ALOT!!!)
Overall, I SUGGEST you deal straight with the Installers MINUS the E-Card... (unless you want to pay more)....
It's fairly EASY to go to Car Toys, Best Buy, etc. and deal DIRECTLY with them. I KNOW I WILL DO THAT THE NEXT TIME I NEED INSTALLATION SERVICES...

this is a rip off installernet takes %40 of the money and the good installers will charge you extra because installernet wont pay them! save your money and find a local installer they will no it for the same amount you pay installernet most of the time

I received an Installcard with a car sterio my girlfriend bought me as a present. I requested a installation at a convenient time for me within a few days on their website. I received a install date confirmation after my requested date, so I declined. It then became impossible to use the website. When I called the company to set up an installation I was informed that I could not do so. I have to wait for a call that will come sometime in the next couple of days. I pleaded for a number to call so I could just schedule a stupid radio installation, but the operator on the other end was adamant. I'm a busy person, and jumping through these hoops wastes way too much of my time. I have my credit card ready and willing to pay them to install this radio, but they insist on giving me the runaround. It boggles the mind. My advice is to spend the extra few bucks and just pay somebody to install your equipment and stay clear of this.

Bought a dual rearseat dvd player for my specific make model vehicle. Bought the install card for $189 from the dvd company at the same time at checkout and thought that would be it. Called the installer I got through installcard and he said his rates are $60/hr. and if he went over how much I had on the installcard than I would be responsible for the difference. Of course if he went under I wouldn't be refunded any though. Called installcard and they said take they couldn't help me. If you buy this ripoff card all you are doing is setting the minimum price for your install when no guarantee it won't go over. Do yourself a favor and run like crazy from this company.

UPDATE 06/16/11 InstallerNet, to their credit, has quickly responded to my complaint and has contacted me and they are trying to rectify the situation. I will amend my review if it is merited.

I needed to replace the failed audio system in my car and went to a high-profile online retailer who recommended InstallerNet, the purveyors of InstallCard. What a mistake. For all the horror stories, I would have been far better off going to a big-box retailer. InstallerNet, which claims a " network of more than 3,000 certified installation businesses" hooked me up with an outfit that has no online presence (after an alleged five or more years in business), no phone number, no street address. While the installer dispatcher advised me of an extra charge to install a Bluetooth adapter, the installer demanded more - in cash - to install another wiring harness they knew I also had. The installer, conveniently had no receipts for the cash payment.

The radio worked after the installation - but not my warning chimes. My dashboard lighting may also have been damaged. The installer also didn't bother asking me where I wanted the Bluetooth adapter installed and put it in a clearly inconvenient location.

Personally, I don't think InstallerNet delivers anything close to what they promise: referrals to "certified installation businesses to provide professional installation services for all types of consumer electronics, both in-vehicle and in-home. All of InstallerNet's installers are experts in their field and are the best installers in their local markets."

The end result of having my installation performed by one of InstallerNet's "best" is a trip to my local car dealer to repair the damage.

Do yourself a favor and avoid InstallerNet and its local installers.
