Revision Audio

WARNING! Don’t go to this shopped customer service is really bad. I recently purchased my auto parts needs to this location and it was a really bad experience! ETA was way off to what I was quoted, Price are ridiculously high, and I felt like, I wasn’t welcome! If you wanna to finish your project I recommend to go somewhere else! *I wish I could give them 0 star*
I felt like I needed to share my experience to everyone and I hope nobody else will go through this kind of experience.

Don’t TRUST THIS GROUP ESPECIALLY THE OWNER SAMSONG is a crook he let my ex uses my credit card without my authorization I reported him to IRS and Better Business Bureau.

Samson is great! I emailed him asking for a quote for getting my subs, amp & dvd player removed from my old car and he emailed me back right away. Great communication! Made an appointment with him and got to meet him. Dropped off my car around 10:30am and he was done at 12:30pm which is great because they actually told us it might take longer. Right when I got back he answered all my questions and gave me another quote to put my removed items from my old car into my new car. I don’t know why anyone thinks they are too expensive because every other place that has quoted me made me feel like I needed to cut off my arm and leg and hand it to them. Samson gave me great prices and with the type of work he does, I feel like I should’ve paid more. The best thing that I admire is he kept to his word about me paying $ 100 because when I checked out it came out to $ 104(plus tax). I hate how other places give me an estimate of how much it’s going to cost and then somehow add all other kinds of crap to make me pay more. He’s a straight up guy and I appreciate his work ethics. I am glad I found this place because it will probably be the only place I will go to since I know Samson is the real deal. I have scheduled my next appointment with him to add in my sounds and dvd player so I might be updating this post after. I can’t wait to transform my new car with Revision Audio :)

Well after driving my truck for a year, I had become tired of looking at so many Tacoma’s on the road and blending in. I figured it was time to visit Todd and Samson at Revision. I sat down with Todd and discussed wheel options. He showed me a gamut of wheels from reasonable price ranges to high end wheels. As much as I liked the cost in the lower spectrum that wasn’t going to separate my Taco from the many other Taco’s roaming the streets of Honolulu. We decided on Rays Engineering Volk TE37’s. Classic design yet not often seen on Tacoma’s. A custom color was chosen and the size decided. Todd was excellent to work with and explained in detail how the size of the wheel and tire chosen would be perfect because I didn’t want to add a lift so I’d still fit in most parking garages. The wheels arrived quickly, tires and tire pressure monitors mounted. I had my Tacoma back within hours.
Definitely love the new look. It’s gotten me a few looks and comments already. Hopefully I can stay happy with the addition for another year until I make my way back to Revision again for sure!

Top of the line work. Great attention to detail! A lot consideration put in for customers expectation and satisfactions. Everything is tailored specifically to each customer, knowing that your got the best for your money.

This is my third set of wheels from Revision Audio. Always great service, and great prices! In looking for a 3^rd set, i could not find a dealer nearby as knowledgeable or experienced as Samson (now that I’m on the mainland). He did all the legwork for me in finding the best offsets/​fitment for my car. Great communication, kept me in the loop from start to finish for a stress-​free transaction! Look forward to doing more business with RevisionAudio!

Rating: 4.5 stars
Samson was extremely polite through the entire process of getting a quote, to dropping my car off, to picking my car up.
I just had my JDM power folding mirrors and winker lenses installed today. FLAWLESS!
The only thing were the fingerprint smudges here and there. Being a detail freak, I had to clean them. Nothing against Revision whatsoever. I’m paying them for their expertise with install, not detailing (although they CAN help you there too!). Nothing some QD and 10 seconds won’t fix! But just a heads up haha.
I’ll definitely be bringing future business here and you shouldn’t fear giving yourself the chance of just checking out the place.

no customer service. price is ridiculously insane. huge rip off. would not respond to messages. i feel unwelcome when i come in with the intentions to buy something. will never come here again, and would also spread the word about this business that i think like to pick and choose customers.

agree with some of the reviewers. they are not only one of the most expensive and possibly one of the most unprofessional in the state of hawaii! called a few times, no reply. went down and talked to samson. he promised a call back in a day or two but still no response after a year! yes, you read it right! a whole friggin’ year!!! unreal!!!

Samson or one of his employees damaged my trunk by drilling a hole from the inside but claims it wasn’t caused by them. He offered to pay half of the repair, what an insult! I tell everyone I know to avoid this place. Buy your VIP parts elsewhere.

Samson and his crew did an outstanding job with my truck. The install included double din HU, amp, speakers and alarm. The work was completed on time and displayed all the attention to detail that any car owner would appreciate. I will definitely be back at Revision Audio!

i don’t know how many of these reviewers are his friend/​family. i’ve experienced something totally opposite. sent a few emails and left a few voicemails but no response. finally a live person answered the phone but refused to give me quote on a few items. kept telling me to go down and talk. went down and samson got all the info and said will give me a call the day after. it’s been three months now but never heard from him! i might not be like some of you spent thousands there but doing something really minor on my car and he still gave me a quote of close to $ 1,000 isn’t something we expect from a shop like this and someone unresponsive like him. a friend of mine did it for me for free and parts are less than $ 100!!! people, you guys are more than welcome to go back but don’t say i didn’t forewarn you. good luck!

Samson and staff at Revision Audio are awesome. I had an HID kit installed which was done quickly and professionally. Not only do they complete aftermarket work, they can also help fix OEM items. I referred a friend to swap out his stock TL-​S headlights which were hazy with newer looking OEM headlights. Samson was able to track down a gently used pair of headlights in mint condition and installed it quickly and professionally at half the cost the Acura dealership would have charged.
I’ll continue to refer friends here as I’m impressed with the service. Keep it up Samson!

I’ve been a customer of Revision Audio for 4yrs now and i’ve spent thousands at the shop, i’ll probably spend thousands more in the coming years. Samson (owner) is one of the most down to earth guys you’ll meet and the level of service he gives is second to none.
Some truths: Not the cheepest labor rates BUT its a fair price for the quality of work, everything he does is professional and with the idea that one day you’ll take your car to a car show. I trust no one else with my car and i’d rather spend a few dollars more for QUALITY WORKMANSHIP than save a few bucks for a habib hack job…
Customer is always right? You won’t find that here, there are things you THINK you want but Samson ‘knows’ what looks good and what doesn’t. Rather than try to make a quick buck selling you whatever, he will advise you on the path to a nice car even thou it means the loss of a sale. Customer before profits? This is what i call ‘trust in a shop to do right by you’.
Revision sells: audio/​suspension/​wheels/​tires/​int. accessories and a whole lot more.

Revision doesn’t deserve anything but 5 stars!
I always tag along whenever my fiancé needs something for his car. We had puddle lights installed here, as well as our interior LED lighting and other small gadgets we buy. If something ever does go out of place or like with the LEDs, one of our fuses blew, they were able to fix it for us. They always do such a great job.
Samson and Katsu are both so nice and friendly.
We definitely plan to get our audio system done here in the future, as well as other small modifications.
I definitely recommend Revision!

The thing that keeps me coming back here is the quality of work and the hard work ethic. You may never see the wiring that goes into your alarm or stereo, but if you’ve ever gone to any other audio shop and happened to peak behind your center console, ⁹⁄₁₀ times you will find a birds nest. Not so with revision. Wiring is always cherry, no short cuts taken. Pride in work is important to me. What does that result in? Easy troubleshooting! Something goes wrong, revision backs up all his installations 110% I’ve had zero customer service issues here.
No need to ask for deals because showing up at his shop you are already getting reasonable prices.
As far as aftermarket wheels and accessories, Revision has managed to be the premier dealer for high-​end stuff. Companies must recognize Samson’s dedication to quality and that’s why he can be the only one you should call to get your high end JDM wheels. Revision takes the time to measure out each individual car so that you will get the look and stance that you want!
I can go on and on about this shop but just go down and see for yourself. Don’t let the location deter you from missing out on this gem of a store!

Had an aftermarket double din unit installed here for my Z, and more recently a GPS unit (of which I was unsure if it would even fit…) Samson was very helpful and they had finished the install very efficiently and smoothly.
I had recently ordered some wheels here, and although I had done some research, I wasn’t quite sure on the details of everything. Samson was patient and informative on helping with the process of it all.
A def. recommended shop to come to!

I’ve been a faithful customer for almost seven years at this point. There is a reason I keep coming back and many other people keep coming back — the team that works there can’t be beat.
Samson is amazing. He really takes pride in his craft and workmanship. There simply is no comparison to how well he takes care of your vehicle or the level of his work. He is obsessed with perfection and goes the extra mile without hesitation. The rest of the team there follow his example and offer nothing but the best service and workmanship.
I’ve purchased many different things from Revision Audio over the years, including an AIrrunner system for one of my cars. The quality of work is evident in everything, many times the installs look completely stock. That might sound simple, but every car enthusiast knows how truly difficult it is to make something look like the car rolled off the assembly line with it.
Don’t let the name or location fool you — even though it is tucked away and is named Revision Audio, a great variety of items can be found there. Car audio, a whole assortment of in car entertainment, security systems, luxury wheels, tires, JDM parts, suspension parts… and if they don’t have it out, many times Samson can bring in the part you desire.
I have absolutely no reservations recommending Revision Audio. There is a reason so many owners of luxury vehicles frequent Revision Audio. I trust very few places to do work on my vehicles and there is never any doubt about taking my car down to Revision.

The display on the parents OEM stereo went out, so it was time to replace with an aftermarket headunit
Samson sourced all the parts necessary in a day (one of the items was a special order) and did a clean install
Was in and out, did quick work on the car
Everything works great and he even set the radio station presets while installing
The only place I’d go for audio (or wheels) in Honolulu!
