If you value your vehicle, please don't bring it here. I've had three different cars worked on here, two of which have come back upwards of 10 times in the past three months. One of which was brand new off the dealer lot. Head-unit screens turning on and off, sound cutting in and out, incessant hissing, broken and damaged interior pieces, bent door clips, uninsulated wires left touching bare metal. You name an issue they caused it. This shop to put it politely has an elementary school level understanding of physics, the concept of Ohm's law is lost on the two individuals who work here. I will not claim to be an expert on these topics but the people who are working on the complicated the electrical systems of modern vehicles should be and I'm telling you these guys aren't it. For example, everybody from DIYer to professional mechanic knows you should remove the NEGATIVE battery terminal first before performing electrical work to avoid damage to the sensitive computer controlled electronics in a vehicle. These lovely gentlemen A. Don't do that and B. If they do disconnect your battery out of necessity to install an amplifier, they remove the positive terminal only, risking short circuiting your entire vehicle. The amount of uninsulated connections was appalling, wires with no insulation left dangling just asking to touch bare metal and potentially damage the vehicle. On an amusing note, their use of car audio jargon is just a poor attempt to confuse and mislead you in to buying more upgrades or services from them. Don't fall for it, they don't know what half the words that come out of their mouth mean. The owner referred to the amplifier turning on and off causing the sound to cut as clipping when that's simply not what clipping is. There are countless examples of this nonsense that I've observed over the past three months, please don't fall for it like I did, save your money go else where, or hey use it an excuse to learn a new skill. An amateur can do a better job than these guys. They'll upsell you or deny every issue they cause: Hissing? At first "oh that's normal" and then "oh you need a new head unit" Steering controls not working? a new module Amplifier turning off randomly? You need a new amp and wiring Broken plastic? "It happens your just obsessive" The funniest proposed solution has to have been using an official apple charging cable as if that was going to solve the kindergartener level internal wiring job done to my poor cars. I'm sure the owner will reply to this with the a high school flunky level to attempt to discredit my character and claims but I welcome it, I've included pictures of some not all of the disastrous things they did to my car. You can judge for yourself who's right. I'm normally understanding when it comes to professional work not turning out the way it should as I realize it can be complicated but this is over the line. I'm waiting patiently for the "well you had these issues with one car before us", a boldfaced lie, my head unit rebooted once or twice in the year I've owned it before bring it to this place and the other car was brand new with less than 500 miles on it. In our final interaction, he told me I was obsessing over small details and kicked me out of the shop saying "your done" like I was a child he was reprimanding. I don't think wanting your sound system to work 100% of the time and not wanting your interior damaged with super glue, adhesive, wire strands and broken plastic is obsessive and I think most people would agree. Learn from my mistakes, and spend your money elsewhere. read more

I bought the Pioneer DMH-WT7600NEX from a reputable online seller, along with the necessary cables and harnesses (you have to do your research) to have an installer set it up for me. Looking on the web, I found these guys and gave them a call. From the moment I spoke with Adam, I knew I had made the right decision. He was polite, professional, and spoke in that way where you know he was listening to what you needed. On the phone, he quoted me a fair price for the install. By fair, I mean a price that is balanced between making sure you aren't being ripped off, but also a price that reflects the quality of the work you expect to have. Plot twist: this Pioneer unit was to replace a seriously-aged Kenwood aftermarket unit in my car that was installed by my vehicle's previous owner. To my surprise, Adam accommodated me for a same-day installation. Your mileage will always vary. I must have called at a good time. I had a consultation with Adam when I arrived. He asked me some questions about my vehicle, and the Pioneer unit I purchased. He was satisfied to know I had done my research and bought the right cables and wiring. He even saved me some money with a cable or two that I ultimately didn't need! Through my observations, it was clear that Adam and his installer have a great partnership. It took them about 2-3 hours for the installation, which I thought was fair. I didn't mind any added time because they accommodated me on the same day, and I felt that any time needed was fine as long as the work was quality. When it was time to pick up my vehicle, Adam took me on a small tour of the unit. He knows his stuff! He watched as I set up wireless CarPlay, chose a good radio station or two, and let me sit in my car and fiddle with the new controls until I felt totally satisfied with the job. I would highly recommend this team, for their fair prices, attention to detail, quality work, and high-quality customer interaction. Kudos! read more

Uncle Jack's Car Stereo - DMH-WT7600NEX (2020) installed with care by Uncle Jack's Car Stereo. - Car Stereo Installation Near Me - New Hyde Park, New York

I brought my older Camry here to get a new Sony XAV-AX100 installed. I've heard great things about this place, since my brother had his tints done here. When I called beforehand, Adam provided some great options and gave me space to do my own research. Since everything seemed very fair price-wise, I came in to the shop to have it installed. Everything was done in a timely manner, the end result looks great and it functions really well. In addition to a great quality install, he showed us how to use the new head unit / radio as well as Android Auto. Overall, the work is perfect quality, he was very straightforward and was a pleasure to do business with. read more

Very professional and does quality work: as i was calling car stereo shops to install the new alpine ilx-107 to my car, Adam the owner talked to me in a direct and professional manner and covers all the basis and what to expect including price and length of labor. Other shops gave me the run around and nonspecific answers which gave me a bad impression. Installation was as expected, quality of work is great and george walked me thru the options of my preferences as far as wiring and mic locations go. If youre in queens or long island area looking for car stereo/alarms. I def recommend this place. read more

"Great Experience" I needed a new Radio/Navi for my Jeep and was shopping Nassau county for the right deal.

My am and fm went out on my factory 2004 g35 coupe Bose radio. Read the reviews for uncle jacks car stereo, decided to give them a shot. It was a pleasure doing business with Adam and George. For anyone who doesn't know, working on 03-04 g35s radios are a disaster. It is all inter-connected with the climate control and navigation. They did a great job installing the replacement kit and updated radio. They even helped me change out my viper alarm siren and an amp power line connector because it was broken free of charge. Awesome guys. Adam even offered to call me and pay for an Uber to get home after I dropped off the car. Quick service as well. Got my car finished in one day. Thanks for all your help guys! read more

Awful company. They are sloppy; that idiot George {he's barely coherent and terrible at his job} shorted my airbag. $800 and 2 weeks at the dealer to fix. he used the wrong gauge wire and stripped connections also. Don't let them touch your car if you care! Adam seems ok but he will tell you anything when he needs money. Beware! They aren't worth it! read more

Horrible business stay as far away from here as possible SCUMBAG. They installed remote start and radio gave me car with sub not working then tried to sell me a new one wtf Found wiring in my door that in turn made Windows not work then continued to give me a bullshit excuse read more

I spoke to the owner over the phone to set up an appointment to bring my truck in for a radio installation. I dropped it off and picked it up shortly after with everything taken care of. The owner is an awesome person to do business with, and even showed me how to work the radio and it's features after it was installed. Excellent service, and my new radio sounds amazing. Thanks again Uncle Jack's! 12/10 would highly recommend. read more

Very friendly and professional. Took the time to explain and go over everything. The price was great and they have Sunday hours which is very useful. I will definitely go back and used them again. read more

I brought my 2008 toyota tundra in for a backup camera and a radio system that has apple carplay. I've had those features on my last 2 vehicles and wanted to bring them into my fathers truck that I inherited. Adam went into great detail on the phone with me, giving me plenty of options and recommendations with what system will work with my trucks speakers the best. In addition, he also did not pressure me into any hasty decisions and allowed me to do my own research. Another cool thing Adam did was that he was able to provide me with a backup camera that is built in to the tailgate handle, rather than the typical license plate one (which is ultimately why I went with this shop). Adam texted me photos of the products and continued to text me answers to any questions I had leading up to the appointment. He finished the full installation about an hour and a half before the estimated time. He also told me if I was not happy with the color trim of the radio in regards to the rest of my car's dashboard, he'd gladly replace it for free just to keep me happy. He also provided me with a full demo of how to use the system. In addition to all of this, it all comes with an installation lifetime warranty should any problems arise, however I really don't think any issues will happen. Adam, you now have a customer for life. read more

STAY AWAYYYYY!!!!! I bought a radio and it broke 3 weeks later. The owner Adam told me too bad. His words were why should i have to take the loss on a radio I sold you. Buyer Be ware! Stay far away from these guys. read more

I am looking for a way to rebuttal your answer to my negative review but for some reason google doesn't allow for that so I will do it here. Originally I had written you a good review because I thought my problem was fixed but it wasn't and we spoke a few times after that with you full knowing that the problem wasn't fixed but you kept giving me excuses on how the car was in an accident but now how you rewired the car and how now the wires now looked beautiful and neat, I didn't pay you to make the wires look pretty I paid you to fix the problem which was the battery continuing to die and the car not starting. You continued to pass the buck telling me that it was an electrical problem that had nothing to to with the system as well as that the car was in an accident and stopped taking my calls as you wanted nothing more to do with it. I am copying and pasting your answer to my negative review below and then I will answer your answer as google won't let me do that so I'll do it here. I had written "He charged me $2000.00 and didn't fix my problem and you has written: "Isnt it odd that your leaving a review when i did your vehicle 2 years ago? Your vehicles wiring and sound system was done horrendously by a different shop. We re wired your entire vehicle a fantastic and cleaned job. You even called us to thank us your exact words were "I never had my batteries charging up to 12 volts thank you so much" 6 months after the initial job was done you vehicle battery was supposedly draining. With pleasure I asked you to leave the car with me to check it. After multiple tests it was determined your vehicle was in a accident and had water leaks and all over the plsce and needed a new battery. On top of that you made it clear your car sits parked for a extended amount of time (sometimes 2 weeks) and you wondered why your car would need to be jumped. Your issues arising after 6 months had nothing to do with our installation service. I wish when people leave bad reviews they could at least leave honest ones." Now here's my answer the reason I'm changing my review fro good to bad "2" years later (and it hasn't really been 2 years) is because I had believed you figuring that you're supposed to be the professional and so after paying you $2000.00 I was just stuck with a lemon until I took it to a regular mechanic repair shop who very simply disconnected the fans for the amps in the trunk and I never had a problem again my car is now now fixed correctly and it cost me nothing and no matter how long I don't start my car it now starts every time so yes THIS is an honest review would like to talk to the mechanic who actually fixed the problem that you couldn't? Would you like to refund the $2000.00 dollars that you stole from me? It was a simple problem and you dove right into a $2000.00 job instead rather then looking for what it could have simply been. Again I didn't pay you to make my wires look pretty, I paid you to fix my problem which again you didn't. I wouldn't bring you my friggin bicycle and I might just be taking you to court to get my money back! read more

I was set on upgrading my car stereo system with an amp, sub and 4 new door speakers. I was shopping around between 3 shops and I found uncle jacks on google. Upon walking into the office I quickly realized I was in a professional atmosphere. The owner was very professional, knowledgeable, courteous and willing to tell me what I needed according to my desires. I really didn't know much about costs and speakers but at no point did I feel like I was getting upsold or conned. I was presented with 3 different options of different price points and different brands. Ultimately went with the JL speakers and box with a 5 channel amp (great call) to complete my setup. Adam showed me his personal car with his set up and gave me something very similar to that. I made an appointment to drop off my car and was called the night prior to confirm which I really appreciated. Once I dropped the car off the crew immediately began to work and by the end of the day, 930 am to 6 pm the car was complete. They took their time and the entire day to do the install which I thought was very thorough. Adam also told me he would test my system and make sure it was tuned perfectly so that when I came I'd be in and out. I would send my grandma here to get any audio works LOL. This shop is legit and i will be using them and recommending them for all my future modifications to my vehicle that they can assist with. 5 stars. Trust and reputation is worth more than $ read more

Hands down best place to go for car radio issues and installation. Recently bought my 2007 Grand Cherokee in because previous owner destroyed the stock radio and all its components..they made appointment right away and solved all issues they had..unlike those big box stores that usually make you wait days.. and are unknowable . read more

I just picked up my Toyota Highlander Hybrid from the dealer and wanted to install a Viper remote starter unit before the big Noreaster arrived. But the storm was expected to hit on Tuesday and it was Sunday. I checked Yelp and found Uncle Jack's. I spoke with Adam and he told me that if I got there soon when his installer Frank arrived, he could do it. Although I had eyeballed the Viper 5706v on Amazon, Adam patiently explained the pros and cons and I wound up getting the Viper Smartstart system with a bypass module which was CHEAPER than the 5706. As I waited the crew offered me pizza and kept me entertained. Two hours later, I took my daughter to the new Batman Lego movie. After the movie ended and as she waited on the line for the bathroom, I thought I'd test the unit. I pulled out my cellphone and hit the start button. From inside the movie theater to my car which was parked a block away inside a parking garage, my phone told me that my car was successfully started. N'ough said. Adam rocks! read more

Got an automatic start installed in my car. Great people, great service, great price. Glen did an excellent job with wiring and installation. Would recommend 10 out of 10. read more

Brought my old 1998 Audi A4 to Adam at Uncle Jack's for a blown speaker. I told him it was my intention to sell the car next year and I didn't want to spend a lot. I dropped off the car in the morning expecting to spend about $250-$275 for a new pair of rear speakers with installation. The Audi requires that the rear seats be pulled out and deck be removed, so it isn't an easy fix. Adam called me about an hour later and reported that my old Bose system has two subwoofers on the rear deck and only one was blown and crackling. He was completely honest and said that the only replacement that would sound good in this scenario would be the original Bose subwoofer which is $$$. He then recommended that we just detach the left subwoofer and let the right one do the job. No need to spend all that money now. It would sound fine. He charged me just $50 for his labor, which was very reasonable and greatly appreciated. And, best of all, he was absolutely right. I played my thumping Springsteen CD all the way home and it sounded great. The rear deck looks fine, too. No scratches or finger prints. Very clean shop. Thank you so much, Adam. I will recommend Uncle Jack's to everyone. read more

Best place! The most attentive and satisfying service from Adam. Great service and great selections of all merchandise. Wouldn't ever go anywhere else! read more

I will definitely recommend this place. Adam knows his stuff and he helped me configure my Apple Play properly to my 2002 Toyota Avalon XL when I bought a new radio system. He installed my Viper Alarm & Remote system on my car. This is hands down the cleanest installation I have ever experienced and Adam explained everything I needed to know about the system as well. He delivered the installation time and in a timely fashion. I would recommend seeing him and only because he is HONEST and FAIR! If you would like someone to be honest and fair, then you go and see him! read more

You can not find a better place to get car electronics from. The people are awesome, service is incredible and items are fairly priced.

I got a Viper remote start with a smart start so that I can start my car from anywhere. I got a fair price and even though they got off to a rocky start, they did a good job in the end. They were friendly throughout the process so I knew I was in good hands. It's been about a month and it works perfectly. I'm happy with the installation. read more

Excellent Job. I installed new audio system on my 2013 Highlander. Sound is much better than original factory speakers. I simply follow his advice and there was no problem. So far so good. Thank you Adam. read more

I was looking to get a remote start installation in a local area and I came across Uncle Jack's without even really knowing what their services are like, but I trusted them based on the reviews. The service they gave was satisfying as advertised. I spoke with Adam who is the main representative and he made sure that everything was installed properly and finished in a timely manner. Would definitely recommend this place to another person who needs a remote start installation before the winter ends! read more

Such an amazing experience. Adam was incredibly helpful and was very knowledgeable about what kind of stereo to put in my car. Amazing customer service and my car stereo and back up camera was installed within a day. Highly recommend read more

I completely agree with the reviews posted by many of the other satisfied customers of Uncle Jack's. My experience with Adam and his team echoes a lot of the other comments: "professional", "knowledgeable", "integrity", "quality/excellent work". I brought my aging BMW to Adam and asked for his help in diagnosing an repairing what I thought were speaker malfunctions. He very quickly informed me that my original amplifier had been destroyed by water leakage and my speaker wiring was a nightmare caused by unprofessional installers. However, he was able to recommend a work-around. Not cheap, but I'm 100% satisfied with the result, mainly because Adam was up-front with me about my options. read more

Old school knowledge great price I got a comp pioneer 12" sub pumps like two 15 good looking Adam

Came here to replace a car stereo on an old car and had a tight budget. Adam was patient knowledgeable and very helpful and got it done within my budget. Service and sound both excellent! Would definitely bring all my future business here for car stereo needs read more

Went to Jack's to have a car stereo installed today, and had an excellent experience. These are a friendly bunch of guys who are also very professional. The installation was quick and efficient. The owner, Adam even offered me a slice of a pizza pie they ordered for lunch, and a bottle of poland spring while I waited. I inquired about a future installation of some new speakers, and was given a very reasonable price. I will absolutely be returning, and doing my business here from now on. read more

I recommend Uncle Jack's UNEQUIVOCALLY. My business with them was to diagnose a problem with the factory stereo in my car, and the result called for replacing with an after-market product and speakers. The results are nothing but fantastic and amazing. Adam, the owner, is professional and compassionate, and the ultimate in customer service and satisfaction. He and Frank (his master installation/troubleshooting engineer), were relentless in analyzing and tracking down technical issues, and the outcome is that I'm VERY VERY VERY HAPPY !!!! They stand by their word in terms of diligently achieving success and ensuring the customer is pleased. They are trustworthy, reasonably priced, and experts in every way. I would not hesitate for a second to use them again in the future, and recommend them without reservation. At a time when so few honest merchants and master craftsmen exist anymore, these guys break the mold in terms of excellence. Rhonda their abilities and knowledge, they are extremely customer and service focused, and wonderful to deal with. So lucky I went to them and hope you do too!!! read more

I want to thank Yelpers for Yelping their experiences at the different stores. Yelp reviews people posted were a huge helping me pick a reliable store. I decided to have Uncle Jacks upgrade the stereo in my 1998 minivan. I was a walk in, and they installed it while I waited. I'm particular about who works on my car and they had no problem with me watching what they're doing. They sold me just what I was looking for. A blue tooth system with Pandora and jacks to connect my tablet or phone. They installed a SONY(not touch screen) that's easy to use without taking my eyes off the road to use the unit or pick up a call. The touch screen units were a bit pricey for my budget, but the store owner was more willing to work out a better price if I wanted a higher end unit. Another customer was there having an amplifier connection repaired. They did a neat job on both our cars and we were done and out of there in a timely fashion. They back my stereo and the installation for a year. It worked out perfectly for me. I would do it again. read more
