    Brought my vehicle to Jerry and explained to him that my custom audio system another shop did wasn't sounding the way I had liked. I explained to Jerry what sound I was looking for. He understood and knew exactly what I was talking about. He tuned my system and now it sounds exactly the way it should and I'm very happy. Thank you Jerry.

    Insane prices. I contacted them for a quote for a remote start and they quoted me over $1400. Are they insane. Who in the right mind would pay $1400 plus for a simple remote start. Yes, I was asking for a high-end system which cost maybe 450 bucks on Amazon plus whatever installation was I don't think they charge $1000 to install it quite ridiculous

    Absolute rip off! I called to get a quote for an aftermarket radio from Amazon I bought an Amazon and needed help to install it. They wanted to charge me $600 to install it. Insane!! Glad I went to a place out in the SUBURBS to get it installed and it was way more affordable. I do not recommend this place at all..

    They installed a metal plate in our car and did a great job! The techs are smart, efficient and the price was very competitive. The tech came up with a better idea for my project than my husband Adam originally proposed. Then they performed the job with meticulous execution. The office staff is also helpful and enthusiastic. Definitely going into my Rolodex for future jobs.

    I had an AMAZING experience at showtime audio. I showed up just for a faulty wire issue. they were slammed with customers and even tho they were slammed an amazing person named Jerry who works there walked out to still help me and give me his time. His time was very little and he could have done other things with it but he chose to still help me with the tiny time he had to spare. A1 5 star customer service he was very nice, great energy, kind and very knowledgeable. He came out looked at my jeep and fixed the problem within 3 mins and gave me lots of knowledge for another 2 so that if I ever bumped into my issue again I know now how to fix it Thanks to Jerry. I will definitely go back for any major jobs I have and will send my friends over for any work or service they need. Best audio customer experience I ever had and the shop is VERY CLEAN and well kept up with which says a lot already. They do great work and do all types of vehicles and I mean anything with wheels they can do it based on what I saw there. Thank you again Jerry and I definitely will be back again for a major job 😊. New favorite audio service spot.
