Jack at Allboro is an absolute master at what he does. Just picked up my car after a full custom build with a Helix DSP amp and Morel drivers, and it is easily the best system I've ever heard. The clarity, separation, and staging is incredible even on a baseline break-in tune. He is a total perfectionist, did a flawless stealth install, and even helped me out mounting a front spoiler. When I had a quick question after picking it up, his communication was instant and helpful. I'm bringing it back in two months for the final master tune once the speakers loosen up, but it already sounds insane. If you want high-end work done right, this is the only shop to go to. Worth every penny. read more

Great work on my 1978 Porsche 911. Installed the retro OE stereo and consulted me throughout the job via SMS to make sure I was happy with decisions on placement & fit. Extra points for attention to detail: they tidied up the wiring harness, ensured it was tucked under the dash, and used standard wire colors for speakers to make future work easier. read more

Repeat customer here! Jack & Leo are great guys to work with. Jack took the time to understand what I was looking for and recommended a Sony headunit and ESB 8" active subwoofer to pair with my Alpine amp/speakers in my Subaru STI. Leo gave me a detailed walkthrough of everything after the install. I was blown away by their work and results! They are incredibly meticulous with their work and they really know how to do custom, clean audio installs. Everything sounds amazing for my setup and I can't highly recommend them enough!

I've brought multiple cars here over the years, and will continue to. The quality of work is unmatched, pay attention the what types of cars are in the shop, unique builds from people who really care about their cars, and they trust Jack and Leo to do the job. read more

If I could give Jack 10 stars I would. After visiting over 9 custom stereo shops from NJ, Queens and Long Island, I trusted my gut instincts and went with Allboro even though I had friends who were steering me to shops who had done work for them. I'm a difficult client because I expect the absolute best, never trust anyone, always get advice from multiple sources and expect a good value. Jack is a total pro: he consults you and you never feel like he's selling you. He's very patient, very knowlegeable, highly creative and talented. His pricing is very reasonable as I'm certain I got a great value compared to what other quality shops were quoting me. Jack has a customer for life with me and I often recommend him to everyone for any type of car audio work. He's a man of his word and exceeded my expectations which is almost impossible to do. read more

I needed to swap out my sound system and the guys at Allboro did a thorough job to get through a complicated job where I unknowingly provided mismatched parts to assemble. Super easy to work with and they keep communication honest & straight forward. read more

i was surprised at the experience i had given all the good reviews. it took me calling them and talking to them in person about six or seven times before i got a time to bring my car in. then when i brought my car to them on the day they specified, they took a look at it and said "oh yeah i know how to work on this car like the back of my hand" and then asked me to come back another day, which was super frustrating. they said they would text me a date before the end of that week. two weeks go by and they still won't confirm a date (despite me calling and texting to see if there are any updates). finally they call me less than 24 hours before and ask me to bring the car in. after working on it, turns out they did a poor job in that they wired all of the sound to come out of the subwoofers in my car, not the eight other speakers that exist, so the audio system is truly screwed at the moment. oh and each time they talked to me the price changed. started out at $250, and ended paying nearly $500 even though neither my car changed nor any of the equipment from the very first time i talked to them. read more

Great business! Runs smoothly does their work perfectly. They installed a camera in my vehicle and it looks perfect they did a great job doing so and very professional highly recommend! read more

Jack will be the first to tell you that "there is someone out there that will do cheaper." The truth is though that I've compared prices and Allboro Custom is both super reasonable in price and does an amazing job. Here's my anecdote, I bought a '02 BMW convertible for the summer. Obviously given the age of the vehicle I needed a new head unit with more up-to date technology. From the very beginning Jack was patient in explaining the process and different options available. He quoted me a price which was super cheap and all inclusive (head unit with CarPlay/AirPlay, steering wheel controls, backup camera, and a super clean USB port). I left the car overnight and came back to a beautifully done job and a bill that was $70 cheaper than quoted. I can't wait to work with him in the near future to upgrade my speakers and subwoofer. read more

Came here to replace my busted factory radio with an aftermarket head unit. I read the other stellar reviews and trusted that I'd be in good hands here. I wasn't wrong. It's a one man operation run by Jack. Right off the bat he seemed extremely competent, confident in his work, and attentive to my needs. He explained everything with great patience, and was straight up with me about every step of the process. I had tampered with my radio on my own and ended up busting my the factory amplifier. When he told me this, he laid out the different options and being that I wasn't too familiar with the subject, I made a lot of phone calls back and forth examining different options, and changing my decision. I never got the sense he was impatient or frustrated, and outlined the most cost effective solutions rather than pushing me towards expensive options. I ended up going for a nice Sony head unit with a better amp and bypassed my broken one. Labor is reasonable considering he took it apart, put it together, and took it apart again as I changed my decision based on my options. All in all, I am a very happy customer, the sound is better than before, and 12/10 would do business with again. Highly recommend Jack. Easy access to the subway (G Train) and hours are very reasonable. I dropped it off in the morning, went to work, and could pick it up right after work. I felt confident and safe leaving my IS in his capable hands. read more

Leo is incredibly kind and helpful, he was able to diagnose the problem with my stereo immediately and fix the problem swiftly and skillfully. He did not attempt to upcharge me or sell me accessories I didn't need. This is my second time at Allboro and I will be contacting them for all my future stereo needs. read more

I stopped by to find out what my options were for installing a rear-view camera on my 2007 Mazda CX-7. The owner Jack gave me some good suggestions, and I purchased Pioneer AVH4200NEX receiver with a large display and a rear-view camera from Allboro. On my 2007 Mazda that only had a cd player and radio, I now have an LCD display that shows rear-view camera feed when I put the gear in reverse. I also have apple car play so I can use Apple maps, hands-free imessage/phone, music from my iphone, pandora, DVD/CD player, etc. It's definitely more features than I had anticipated when I was doing research on my own for a rearview camera. It definitely helps to talk to an expert, rather than googling for options on your own. I did have some questions about how to use the system initially, and Jack was always helpful and patient with all the questions I had even when he was busy with all the other work that was going on in his shop. I did have a minor issue with the emergency light button that didn't work quite right after the installation, and Jack took a look, ordered a new emergency light button part for me, and fixed it free of charge. He was good on his word that having purchased the system and getting it installed at Allboro, that I'll get great service. I found Jack to be knowledgeable, very skilled, friendly, responsive, and a straight talker. All signs of a good business owner who you want to take your business to. For any car accessory and custom installation, I'll be going to Allboro. I am also glad that I am supporting a neighborhood business, and only if I can find as good local mechanic as Jack is for custom installs, I'd be set. read more

Jack is probably the most talented guy in this field. I gave him my 1987 Buick Grand National a budget and said do what ever you think is the best. He BLEW ME AWAY!! Unbelievable just Unbelievable.

This guy is a virtuoso. He showed me a project he's been working on when I picked up my car -- incredible work. Thoughtful, methodical, and flawlessly executed. All I had done was had a new stereo installed in my 2000s Civic. I brought him the stereo and kit and he cranked it out in 2 hours. He even had the antenna adapter which I had forgotten to buy in advance. Would come here for projects big or small. read more

Not too sure about this place... So I called this place for two days straight.. Monday and Tuesday..... Finally on Thursday afternoon a sleepy sounding make answers the phone with " hello" .I pause and say is this all boro? Yes, he says.. I explained what I needed and in the middle of our conversation of which the man asked me questions about what I just said to him.... And then we get cut off... The man doesn't bother to call me back and I don't bother to call him either... Good riddance!!! read more

The owner Jack is fantastic. I have an older car and after 16 years the radio and CD changer finally died so I need a new one. I was worried if there would be any problems but everything worked out perfectly. Jack installed a brand new system for my car the same day I called him and was done in less than hour. Great price. Great service. And a pleasure to work with. What more could you ask for? HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! AAAAA++++ read more

Jack hooked me up. My truck got broken into twice in two weeks.Took it to him. I told him I needed my truck during the day for work so he stayed real late to make sure it was ready for the next morning. Also, he fabricated metal plates to install in the door so they couldn't break in again. Almost a year and no more break ins. I highly recommend these guys. read more

I had to get my HED lights replaced and my brother took me here to get it done. I'm not even going to pretend to know anything about lights let alone their wiring however the guy there was very helpful and honest. Basically for the type of HEDs I had, he would have to rewire it some way that would need to override my ER brake light and would take a few hours to complete. He also told me the lifespan would probably be still quite limited. So basically he gave me the option to spend almost 200 bucks to get this done or revert back to regular lights for way way cheaper. I opted for the latter option since the HEDs were never a big deal for me ( they were originally installed as a gift from my bro) They offer a bunch of cool custom work but I didn't really look into that. Their customer service is on point though, so I would definitely recommend checking them out if you're considering any work done. Even a simple light change! read more

I really want to let everyone know that this place of business is the best I went to them and Leo took good care of me and put a lot into account what I wanted to do with my car radio, I spent more than $ 1000 for an installation in another place and they did a horrible job on me I was so disappointed that my friend told me to go there I went and the price was fair for the repair that the other people did anyway thank you very much for your time and dedication in your work I recommend this place They are very professional and fair of everything, thank you read more

Jack at all boro is the kind of professional small business owner we need more of! He has installed an upgraded stereo system with Bluetooth capability to my Mini Cooper. The dealer quoted me $3600 and jack did a different version for $1000! I am super pleased with the system! But not only that. He is a gem of a person and he always makes me feel comfortable and welcome at the shop! I was just there to reconnect a new phone I got to the system and was having a hard time to do it. Once again, he was there ready to serve, and got it done in no time! read more

Jaco bought this business recently and I was really impressed with his focus on getting it right and winning loyal customers. I ordered a full replacement of the factory radio in my 2004 Volvo with a JVC touch-screen system. Jaco added a backup camera which we love and don't know how we did without. He also sourced the right trim parts in Europe to make the installation look like it belongs next to the fake wood interior in the car. There was an issue with AM reception that took a couple of return trips to resolve, but he worked with me (at his expense) to get it right. read more

Allboro is what the city is lacking these days. On point, honest, owner operators, master craftsmen, who are straight shooters and cool. They are knowledgeable, easy to talk to and produce detailed high end work on time. Whether it's a Bentley or a Honda they take pride in what they do. Take your car here you won't be disappointed. read more

I have been driving past Allboro for years and have always seen very expensive cars being worked on in there - the first sign that Allboro does quality work. I bought an old VW bus from 1977 that was in desperate need of a stereo (it literally had a hole in the dash, no speakers, and no wiring.) Since I wanted everything to look original to the bus, I sourced a head unit and brought it together with my bus for Jack to take a look at. Jack was very communicative and texted me with photos and different wiring options throughout the process. He knew it was a holiday weekend coming up and made sure my bus would be ready in time. The results were absolutely perfect. I have since gone back to Allboro for a custom interior lighting setup for the same bus, which came out even better than I had imagined. The prices are more than reasonable, the craftsmanship is excellent, and I'll definitely be taking my other vehicles here in the future. read more

I am thoroughly impressed. I walked in and was immediately welcomed like family, and I think that anyone who's interacted with Jack has had the same experience. I was not pressured into an up-sale and was given exactly what I needed. The installation itself was very high quality. I'm OCD, and I could tell right away that no corners were cut. This is a shop that very obviously takes tremendous pride in it's work and knows the value of customer service. If you are questioning whether or not to use Allboro Custom for car audio, just go in and meet them. You'll find out very quickly that this is the place for you. read more

More than satisfied with the details and care put into the services provided here! I have received numerous compliments regarding the notable level of expertise in my installation. During my visit I was also highly impressed with the great degree of craftsmanship being applied to even bigger projects than my own. I've followed and supported Leo's skills for years and his ongoing passion reflects directly into the quality and care of his work every time! read more

Only good things to say about Jack. He's fair honest and fun to work with and most important - knows what he's doing with car audio. He helped me build the system I was dreaming of (full sub, head unit, 5 channel amp build) with a stealth amp mount under the floor in the rear hatch. He didn't push me to spend beyond my budget and made sure I would get the most bang for the buck with what I spent. He followed through to make sure everything worked as intended. Jack gets busy so be prepared to wait a bit to have work done, but it its worth the wait. I have a 2012 vw golf. We did zapco amp, pioneer head unit and morel speakers all around. Pictures attached. read more

Probably the most professional car audio customization place I've been to. I had a power inverter installed in my trunk and the job was done so smooth, not an exposed wire in sight. My only regret is that I had my speakers installed somewhere else before I discovered this place. Thanks Jack! read more

Yes, I gave Allboro 5 stars, here is why. First of all, I am a very savvy and parsimonious shopper, I also do my homework and shop around before I buy. I drive an old Nissan Pathfinder which, prior to finding Allboro Custom, had the original radio system. This meant no auxiliary input for ipods, in addition the cd player stopped working after a few discs jammed inside. Anyway, about 3 weeks ago I decided I wanted a new radio and speakers. I didn't want to spend that much money and I didn't need anything too fancy. I've had Alpine and Kenwood radios before and I liked those brands. I decided to go to 3 Car Audio shops before making my final decision. The first place I visited was on 21st in Astoria. The first thing I noticed about this place was the lack of people in the store. The man behind the counter knew little about audio systems and threw arbitrary numbers (prices) around. He was also very aggressive, he kept asking me if I wanted get the system installed "today!!" He quoted me $600 for a Kenwood radio with some BS Pioneer speakers. When I looked up the radio he wanted to install I saw it selling for $150 on amazon. I left the store on 21st knowing never to return. My next trip was to Queens Blvd in Elmhurst, Queens. This place was across the street from the Old Mets Motel (on the same block where all the demolished cars are repaired and sold with "a clean carfax"). Anyway, this Audio shop on Queens Blvd was similar to the one on 21st, meaning there were no customers!! This Asian man behind the counter could not give me prices to anything, he told me I had to see the Guyanese man instead. The Guyanese man was a bit sketchy and that's when I knew something fishy was going on. This guy asked me "how much do I want to spend?" and then goes on to tell me he could install a Pioneer Radio with 4 Pioneer speakers for "about $1000." I am very familiar with Pioneer radios because they are sold in Walmart. Like I had done at the shop on 21st, I left the shop in Queens Blvd knowing never to return. I then decided to check out Allboro. I had passed this shop many times since it's just one block away from the McGuiness avenue entrance/exit of the BQE. The first thing I noticed at Allboro were the customers, there were lots of them. On the day I visited , there was a woman talking with the owner about some work she was getting done in her car. This woman seemed cheerful and content. I also noticed a man outside of the Shop with a Ford F-150 . This man had just gotten a new radio installed in his truck and was playing with all of the radio buttons. He was very happy, he told me the radio cost him $170 with installation. The radio was very neatly installed and lit up his dashboard. While I waited to talk to the owner I also noticed a man inside the shop installing tints on a BMW X5, he was doing a superb job too. Finally my turn came to talk the man of the hour, Jack. First thing Jack asked me was what kind of car I drove and what type of system I wanted, he asked what type of music I listened to. Jack was patient and listened to me, he was not pushy or aggressive. His expertise in car audio systems was apparent early on. He deals with high end car audio and his prices are very reasonable. Jack showed me an Alpine Radio with blue tooth, aux inputs and all of the features I was looking for. I looked up this radio online and it sold for $250 on Amazon. For the radio and speakers Jack quoted me $550 with installation. I knew a good deal when I saw one so I quickly contracted with him to get this system. He was very busy and gave me a range of days on which I could bring my car for the installation. About a week later I dropped off my car in the morning and picked it up in the early evening. The day I came to pick up my car Jack was gone for a few minutes so I chatted with a brother (black guy) who was getting audio work installed on his 64 Impala. This guy told me he always went to Jack and he trusted him. Anyway, back to me, I was very happy when I saw my dashboard, the new Alpine radio was state of the art and sounded very clear. Jack installed new speakers with tweeters in the front and 6.5 speakers inside the rear passenger doors. About a week later I went back because I wanted more bass in my system. Today I got a small amp and a Hertz speaker installed and I love the bass that resonates off my leather seats. I was given the option of an Alpine Amp and Two Kicker Speakers for the same price of a high end Amp with a solo Hertz speaker. I chose the latter due to space and sound quality, I like to listen to hip hop and the solo speaker gave me just enough bass. Jack tucked the amplifier in the side compartment in the rear of my Toyota and there are no visible wires. Trust me when I say Jack at Allboro does quality work! His prices are reasonable and he is prompt and courteous. If I ever buy another car which needs a new audio system I will go to Allboro Custom. read more

Jack is 100% honest and professional. He is a very skilled tradesman and knows his craft. He charges an extremely fair price for his services and over delivers. Jack helped install a new amp in my BMW 135i and rewire new speakers. The system sounds great and there are no issues so far. Besides the quality work he did for me, he showed me examples of his previous custom installs and I was blown away by his work. I have found my go-to audio and electronics guy in NYC. I highly recommend him. read more

WOW!!! BEST CAR AUDIO GUY IN NYC!!! I used to be big on car audio when I was much younger, but recently purchased a brand new SUV and thought I'd upgrade my subwoofer and amp. I found AllBoro and Jack via Yelp after reading the wonderful reviews on him. I dropped by one day and discussed some options with him. My plans were a simple sub/amp upgrade now, then a big system in the spring. Jack spent SO much time going through everything with me and was so incredibly helpful. He is literally a genius with anything car related. I was amazed by his knowledge and most of all, his creativity. Anyway, he installed a 0 gauge amp kit (in preparation for the big spring system) for me, a new amp and sub in my existing enclosure (which needed to be custom fit) and a bass knob up front for my temporary system until the spring. It was absolutely flawless! He even added a few little things I didn't expect like sound dampening my walls in my rear quarter panel and foaming sub box. When he told me the price, I was a bit confused because it was so cheap! Whatever he quoted me earlier was WAY more than I actually paid! I had to ask him twice and he said it went a lot easier than normal, so not to worry. I tipped him $40 and I still fet bad. I hung around with Jack and talked with him while he worked on my vehicle and he is a 100% honest, and good clean family man type person. You can tell he is a really good person just by talking to him. We talked like little girls for hours while I was there, he's so friendly and cool. His knowledge and skill set is absolutely incredible. And I'm a Master Fire Suppression Contractor so I know skill when I see it. After all that to think his pricing is so so so reasonable (actually cheap!), there is no one else I'm ever going to for my car audio and related needs. And remember, NYC is famous for having crap car audio shops. They're SO bad! Makes it even more of a no-brainer! I actually feel lucky to have found this shop and person! A BIG reason I stopped my car audio hobby was because I was so turned off by the garbage quality in the industry in NYC. Jack is a MUCH needed addition to this line of work in NYC! Don't take my word for it, just look at these reviews. Jack is a gem of a find in NYC and we should ALL be grateful! He literally treats your car as if it was his. Thanks Yelp for the hook-up! NOTE: One thing I must mention is this guy is so busy all the time with his name is getting out there fast that you need to be patient. Don't expect a system installed the same day you see him, this guy is booked for months at a time for the bigger end work. For smaller stuff, no problem I would think because I see him working on different cars all the time. Give him a shot, he's really a gifted and extremely honest person! read more

Always great service, will definitely come back. They installed a remote start on my vehicle. Works perfect! Very happy customer.

Allboro sold and installed a stereo system for me and I had a great experience. They got me in right away and the installation was quick, especially considering that we hit some snags because of parts missing from he car's original owner. They even used a saw and sander to cut a custom installation panel like it was no big deal. These guys charge a fair price for quality work. Recommended. read more

Jack took care of me like family. He went above and beyond to help me understand the problem with my Volvo and was very communicative. He even sent me pictures of the car as he was working on it! I've been trying out different mechanics for the 7 years I've been in the neighborhood and I've never seen such great service, or fair pricing for that matter. BRING YOUR VEHICLE to this shop, Jack's got your best interest in mind. read more

I had a wonderful experience with Allboro Custom. Jack installed a built-in navigation screen with backup camera in my 2009 VW. The screen is a perfect fit and looks like it was installed by VW when the car was built. The work was flawless and my experience was better than I could have ever anticipated. He even helped me with my check engine light that had recently come on. I would highly recommend Allboro Custom to anyone who wants to improve their car. I only went in for navigation, backup camera and bluetooth but from browsing their display cases, they have a lot more to offer from stereos, remote car starters, rear seat tv's, etc. Check them out, you'll be happy you did. read more

Had a panasonic 4200 NEX stereo installed in my 2013 Subaru Crosstrek. Service provided was excellent. Installation is perfect. All the functions work including the backup camera, radio and all of the OEM USB ports. Really went above and beyond with the installation. During the install the harness for the steering wheel controls was defective, Jack discovered this, replaced it with one he had and arranged for Crutchfield to send him a new one directly. Didn't charge me for the new pat. No hesitation to recommend Allboro Custom for any of you custom car needs. I will be back when I upgrade my OEM speakers and get a dashboard cam installed. read more
