Main St Stereo

\r After some initial issues with stereo and alarm install,owner made good in the end.He was adamant about making this a good experience. more

Great experience - walked in just looking for a replacement stock sub for a Rubicon and decided to do more - no pressure at all. Was just looking while there - Steve picked out a Kenwood (which I later read about and got amazing reviews - as well as the speaker) that makes sense for me. Wound up with a great new head unit, Sub and an amp - that also reviewed exceptionally well - and the work was done very well. I am not a high-end-blow-your-ears kind of person.... I will be back for the other 4 speakers and 1 more amp shortly! Oh - and since I am not into these things - Steve was great explaining everything and phone support when I had no idea how to fix 1 item with Pandora/BT settings. HIGHLY recommend and open to questions if you have.\r Regards, \r Robert more

These guys did a really good job on my 2013 Toyota Tacoma. They gave me excellent advice on the hardware and did a flawless installation; on time. I give Main Street Stereo 5 stars. more

THESE GUYS ARE THE BEST, NONE BETTER. more

In the past I've had a few bad experinces with some other local car stereo places (price ,service and choice of product). Well I'm happy to report that Main Street is not like the others. I've used M.S.S. Several times and was always more than satisfied. I have a fair Idea what I'm looking for And Prefer high end stereo equipment. On more than one purchase, the guys at M.S.S. guided me to a better choice than I came up with in my reseach. My new jl audio speakers and amp were exactly what is was looking for.The price ,installation and service were great. This is the first time I'm taking the time to write a review. I felt These guys really deserve it more

Great place, they know what they are doing. They are also up to date on new products, give great advice and overall very friendly. I've bought things from them several times and had them installed as well. Always installed in a time manner, and I have never had a problem. I recommend them to friends all the time.m more

They are really professional and up to date on new technology. They always give you comparisons to other products and really know their stuff. Plus they are always timely on installation more

I BOUGHT AN 08 MUSTANG AT THE END OF JANUARY 2011. I TOOK IT TO AVENUE SOUND IN PATCHOGUE OFF MAIN STREET TO HAVE MY WINDOWS TINTED AFTER CALLING AROUND FOR THE LOWEST PRICE POSSIBLE. THEY WERE REALLY COOL THERE BUT THE TINTS CAME OUT HORRIBLE. I HAD TO HAVE THE WINDOWS STRIPPED TWICE DUE TO SCRATCHES IN THE TINT AND ALSO A FEW DOZEN BUBBLES ON EVERY WINDOW. AFTER 2 FAILED ATTEMPTS TO TINT PROPERLY...I ASKED FOR MY MONEY BACK. I THEN TOOK MY CAR TO MAIN STREET STEREO. THEY TOOK ME IN THE SAME DAY N HAD MY CAR FINISHED WHEN THEY SAID THEY WOULD. THEY WERE ALL PROFESSIONAL GUYS & A PLEASURE TO DO BUSINESS WITH. I SHOULD'VE LISTENED TO MY GUTT INSTINCTS FROM THE START. IT WAS ALITTLE BIT MORE MONEY BUT WELL WORTH IT. TWO THUMBS UP FOR MAIN STREET STEREO! more

Had a car alarm with remote start installed. Very professional and caring . Did alot of comparison shopping they had the best price and best product out of all the places on long island. Would highly recommend and Kevin was Great! more

I have being going to Main Street Stereo since 2009. I brought my 2009 Toyota Camry to instale a entire Stereo system like new radio,speaker,ventvisor,tints,alarm with remote started and my HID light sistem.Iam very happy with the job and the way the workers are at this place .They are very nice people.I will recomend this place for anyone to go there and get there car hookup,as this is the only place and people that I trust to work in my car. more

We always try hard to do right thing to every single car but this is obviously the car that we failed to satisfy him 100%. more

I brought my brand new, one (1) week old Prius into Main Street for a complete tint job. I met with Soo, who was helpful and nice, agreed on a price, and scheduled an appointment for the very next day. I arrived the next day and left my car with Kevin. I picked-up the car later that day, looked it over (everything looked fine), paid for the service, and went home. It was not until the next day, in the sunlight as I was driving to work, that I realized the front passenger's door window had numerous vertical scratches directly inline with the side view mirror. I didn't think this would present a problem for Main Street. I believed Main Street would just pull off the tint and replace it. I went down on my first day off (4 days after the tint job - I hadn't even rolled down the windows yet) and met with Kevin. He came out to the car, looked intently at the scratch, felt the inside and outside of the window, and proceeded to tell me that it was the window that was scratched not the tint. I told him you can feel the scratches in the tint if you run your finger over them. He stuck with the window being the cause of the scratches. He ended by telling me: ""Other than that, it looks awesome."" I will tell you that the window tinter they use does do a good job. The tint was laid on flat, there were no bubbles, and I was very satisfied with the job. Unfortunately, the tinter (or another member of their staff) made a small mistake and scratched the film - it happens. This shouldn't be something to run away from; instead, it should be an opportunity to show your customer how you stand behind your work. What I received was an insult to my intelligence, all over a few dollars in window tint and about 20 minutes of time for the re-installation. Whenever I have free time in my work schedule, I will pay another tinter to remove the scratched film and install new film. I will do my best to come back to this site and post a before/after photo for your review. I write this as a warning for other potential customers. You will not receive honest treatment if you return with a problem that is no fault of your own. Main Street will look to find an excuse to keep from guaranteeing their work. A customer should not have to fight to convince a business to do what is right and fair. more

I am the window tinter for main st. stereo I have been window tinting for 20 years and have been tinting for main st. stereo for almost 10 years I treat every car better then my own , I take a lot of pride in my work . I am on today to reply about the ferrari review, first off we all all grown men not 16 year old kids like all the other shops out there . we would never say what do you thing you have a ferrari? we are professionals and would not knock somebody's car no matter how much of a piece of sh$%^ it is .This guy sold his car because it wasnt a s4 but a plain jane a4 he then came back ,with his new used s4. got it tinted by us about a year ago then he came in today to have his rear door glass striped and retinted because he damaged it putting something in the back of his car . well if I did such a bad job why would you bring me your car back not once but twice. main st stereo has been around since 1974 so we must be doing some thing right, this guy came back because he went some where else and found out the grass is not greener on the other side or maybe the shop he was dealing with, is not open any more. the final out come of a tint job has a lot to do with the car. only new cars come out perfect. If you bring a old dirty car, we can only do the best with what we have. we have people that have been getting their cars done here for the past 20 years and now their kids come here some punks I will just never understand more

On Friday i drove around to 3 or 4 different car audio centers. Main St was the only one where i felt as though the job was going to be done professionally. Kevin, the salesman, is very knowledgeable and helped me pick out the right system for my car. They were able to take my car in the next day and had it ready by 5:00 pm. They threw in free tweeters and guaranteed their work for life under their 38 year reputation. The system sounds great and i would highly recommend this place to anyone! more

Went to Main Street Stereo last week just looking for a amp and sub setup. Aftter I have been all over the place to Sound Traxx, Avenue Sound, and Parkway Car Stereo..I have a 2003 Ford Explorer After talking with thier salesman Kevin I ended up going with a set of JL 12"" subs and a JL amp. Very good sounding and a great installation.Ended up getting my windows tinted a couple of days laterby Main Street Stereo. Another good job by them. Looks excellent no imperfections. Overall great experience will be a returning customer for the rest of my cars. Pros: Great salesman, good pricing more

At the time I had an Audi A4, and I went to Main Street Stereo to have the windows tinted. When I picked up the car later that day, the first thing I noticed was a lot of dust bubbles on every window. The second and MAIN thing was that on the drivers side rear window there was a 1/4 inch gap between the side of the window and the side of the tint. I went in to talk with the guy behind the counter, who I would assume is the manager / owner, he came out, looked over the car and said, ""What do you expect, its not a ferrari."" He then began to tell me that the tint gap is normal because the windows move side to side (Left to right?), while he tried to shift my window from left to right unsuccessfully. Also, that the dust bubbles are common and there wasn't anything he could do about it. I told him I wanted him to redo it and he reluctantly said fine. The next appointment he could give me was a week later. I took the tint off the doors and the back triangle windows myself, ( Left the rear window) and brought it to another place, who had no trouble with the job. I sold the car but just recently saw it after 2 years. The back window that was tinted from main street stereo was bubbling all around the defroster lines and had turned purple. The other windows looked as good as they did when I had them done by the other shop. I cringe everytime I drive by Main Street Stereo on sunrise highway. Do not get your windows tinted there, unless you have a ferrari. more

Don't buy the fake reviews here, these guys did a terrible job, the manager was ignorant and rude, and we had a terrible experience. Go somewhere else, you've been warned, trust me!!!. Cons: Crap Job more

I've been shopping for car audio products since I got my first car 4 years ago, and the majority of them disappointed me. Most would take any opportunity to rip you off if you have no knowledge of car electronics (Sound Trax). I don't usually write reviews but I felt compelled to after coming here for almost 2 years. They offer some of the most competitive pricing on the Island. And they carry almost all the major brands, where as most shops carry only a couple of specific brands (JL, Alpine, Pioneer, Morel, Eclipse, Kenwood, etc.). I was very impressed when I walked in for the first time. Very neat and inviting store layout, with a ton of products on demo for you to try. I've purchased sub woofers, component speakers, gotten my front doors and trunk dynamatted, and my windows tinted.All the instalations where very clean. I'm the type to always shop around before committing, and I have never been more pleased with service at a car audio shop. Soo, the manager is extremely knowledgeable, very friendly, and always willing to work out a good deal. I cant see myself going anywhere else. Pros: Competitive Pricing, Large Selection, Great Service Cons: None so far more

In response to the negative posting listed on this site. We have a 38 year reputation behind us of working on some of New York?s most exotics car?s right down to your everyday commuter cars. This is a case where the customer brought in his own equipment that was purchased from the Internet and after a long conversation of explaining to the customer that automotive electronics that are purchased from Internet are not guaranteed to work nor can any retail establishment warranty the product if it was not purchased through an authorized dealer of such equipment. This client took over two months to make a decision of who he wanted to do the installation of the LED lights on his car. He had more than enough time to shop around and get quotes and yet after 2 months the client made an appointment to have the lights installed. Subsequently, the installers spent approximately 2 days to complete this installation. That said, we stand behind all of the work that was completed on this customers car; in fact we gave him full warranty on the labor. Main St. Stereo has a long standing excellent working relationship with the community surrounding the location where business is conducted. All the customers who have come into the store have been coming back for more and more work. It?s a great feeling to know that when a customer who came in 20 years ago for an installation of automotive electronics now has a family of their own and walks through the front door with their of age children who are looking to have work done on their cars as well, again 20 years later of rock solid relationships built on trust and communication? When it comes to a client?s car/ SUV etc everyone is a bit cautious about any work that involves adding an electronic piece of equipment that enhances the performance, styling and enjoyment of driving an automobile. This client was treated with the same respect that his car was treated with. Main St. Stereo has made every attempt to satisfy the client who had issue?s with the product itself, not the installation. It?s an unfair advantage that the client has over Main St. Stereo due to the Freedom of being able to post negative comments on the internet with free will, not that Main St. Stereo is defending itself, rather explain a situation that was dealt with the utmost professionalism on Main St. Stereo part and allowing a forum of complete transparency of the actual facts surrounding this isolated case. Pros: same location since 1974 more

They did my xm radio, window tinting, remote start/alarm turned out fine. I had them install LED lighting which they failed miserably. I was over charged in order for them to compensate there time learning how to complete the job. They totally failed at some simple LED 101 work. It's two yrs later and I'm still upset about my experience with them. They shouldn't even sell under car lighting kits. They left a spaghetti mess of wires packed into my fuse panel, horrible splicing and taping, mounted my side tubes on my jack points, front bulb misplaced, interior lights misplaced and not grounded. They couldn't even figure out how to get my lowered car off the ground to do a proper install to begin with. I went back 3x and they tried to make good and still failed. I paid an arm and a leg and disappointed to this day. They will never get one more dollar from me... Pros: simple straight forward work Cons: Overpricing, bad for custom LED lighting/undercar lighting k more
