919 Motoring, Raleigh

When someone’s been around the block a few times, it means they’re experienced, though it could also just mean they’re showing off their car. At 919 Motoring, both meanings apply. Founder Shaun Reilly, who has been in the mobile-electronics industry for more than 17 years, helms a staff of MECP-certified installers in outfitting rides with audio, video, and navigation systems. Boasting car audio as one of their specialty services, the technicians equip autos with booming subwoofers and amps, satellite radio, and iPod integration. Other services range from tinting windows to installing navigation devices and car alarms, which help vehicles wake up in time to get their owners to work. To ensure customers that the staff’s services are always completed professionally and ethically quoted, the shop is a member of the Mobile Enhancement Retailers Association.
