This new radio is ten times better than the factory radio. We are very happy. Great service, great products. Thank you Chris.

He doesn't over sell anything he doesn't feel you need at that point in time, as I felt I needed speakers and he did not. He goes over in detail what he feels is best before doing any work, and takes all the time you need to explain the install afterwards. Calling and scheduling an appointment is recommended as he is busy busy busy. My truck went in sounding awful and came out sounding super and much cheaper than I anticipated. Only place I'll recommend in the future.

I came in with audio issues that other shops couldn't diagnose, and Jerry not only found the problem immediately; he also explained the solution in a way that actually made sense. His knowledge is on another level. He built me a system that is so clean, so powerful, and so perfectly tuned that there's literally nothing left to upgrade: a 1400‑watt Kicker amp pushing two Mojo Pro 15s, 800 watts a piece in a custom‑tuned ported box. The output is unreal; my side mirrors shake so hard I can barely see to change lanes. The craftsmanship, the customer service, the education, the honesty Jerry goes way above and beyond what most shops even attempt. I walked out with a system built for life, and I couldn't be happier. Thank you, Jerry, for delivering true greatness.

So I made an appointment at 8:30 for my 2022 forester sport and was told I would be out the door by 11:30 So I showed up to check out what they had and found something that I thought would be decent And agreed to let Matt (the installer) put the stuff in my car, And he let me watch him do the entire process pretty much which was cool and all seem to be going well until he realized my car wouldn't start after hooking everything up and then he claimed it was my battery and tried to jump it and even tried putting another battery in my car with no success He nicked a wire on my harness trying to feed a power wire through my firewall and had to cut open one of the wires on my wire harness because he thought that was the problem and that wasn't even the issue clearly so after hours an hours they sent me home in a Range Rover at 3am that damn near had a flat tire and a dead battery SO I had to have my neighbor jump me the following day just to come back the next day to find out "it was a fuse" but now have a check engine light on my car and Chris and Matt both told me that if I drove my car 200 miles it would go away and tried to convince me with screenshots from Google AI and even I knew that was not true.lied straight to my face.so I Essentially paid $1300 To have a check engine light put on my vehicle for a PCM code, which was a open circuit issue so I took my car to Subaru just to find out my PCM Relay was broken and the repair done on my wire harness was not good enough to keep my electric warranty because it wasn't just one wire it was three wires that were damaged and my boot for the harness was destroyed so I lost my warranty on a car I got 1 month ago getting a system installed at this place and I got a quote for $7500 from Subaru in damages and tried to ask the owner directly if he would give me his insurance to fix my car which he turned around and insulted me right afterwards saying " Yeah, when you left the other day, you kicked up a rock and now I need $43,000 and need your info" which was insane that the owner would downplay damage caused to my vehicle and disregarding everything and they just were giving me the runaround telling me oh it's this oh it's that We will get you together, but nothing about getting my car back to how I brought it to them And they even went as far as trying to tell me they wanted to work on my car the following weekend, After I thought about it, I thought why would I let these people who caused me over $7000 in damage for a small system work on my car again so I'm not going to I took it to a professional over at Audio Sensations in westchester and they literally fixed everything they did wrong and got it done right the first time and I was able to get my damaged wires properly fixed instead of just taped up so after paying these guys almost $1300 I had to go somewhere else And pay even more money to fix a broken pcm relay,3 wires on my harness and my boot mended to get my car back in acceptable condition because the owner clearly didn't care an honestly I could not trust these guys to work on my car again and even took the other shop up on more upgrades for my Subarus sound system because they actually are trust worthy and told me they would never have a problem, giving me their insurance if they damaged my car,my experience overall was terrible honestly and I won't be coming back and can't recommend this place to anyone,PS the sub they sold me blew not even a week after getting it So I went to Xtreme sound and got a even better setup,crazy experience lol what a waste of 1300+ dollars...

I wanted to upgrade my car with a remote start and called and asked for pricing. Spade's was right in line with a few other installers that I had priced but the equipment they were using was something that I felt more comfortable with than what some others were using. Also, after reading reviews of some of the bad install jobs that The Geek Squad had done I decided to steer clear of Best Buy. Spade's performed a clean install and got me in on a bit of short notice. The unit works great and I would recommend Spade's for remote start install work. Ask for Matt.

I am always a bit trepidatious when going to a new oil place because I have definitely had my share…read moreof places that try to sell me things I don't need. Pfefferle, was not one of those places. I pulled into the driveway to get my car serviced and it was packed. I almost left because I figured it may be awhile, but the tech assured me that it was only going to take about 30 minutes or so and with, all my traveling, I can tell you my car Is probably running on mud right now instead of oil... yikes. So, 30 minutes wasn't too horrible. I went inside and most of the chairs were full in the waiting room, but they had a tv playing horrible soap operas and a full pot of fresh coffee. I stood around for a few, and realized they had a stack of magazines that had some unusual titles. I'm an artsy type and they had, sitting on the top of the stack, "International Artist." I was pleased and parked my butt in an empty seat. The guy at the front desk was very nice and took my info. My car has lots o miles, so I told him I wanted the oil that would make it purr like a kitten again instead of an asmatic old lion. I presented a coupon to him and he nodded in acknowledgement. I sat back down and watched him greet several of the regulars by name, and that's always a good thing in my book. After awhile they came in and showed me how dirty my air filter was and I cringed... I knew this visit would entail more than an oil change because it had been a pretty long time since I'd brought my car in for service. After about 10 more minutes he came in and said my serpentine belt was bad, and I had a feeling it was so that was no shocker. Well, my 30 minutes turned to about an hour. Not a huge deal, but I think they had to order my serpentine belt from another shop. What I am bummed about is that they didn't tell me, and my boyfriend overheard them ordering it from another shop. Had they set that expectation of my wait, I would have been fine. When I was all done and ready to pay, the guy told me that my coupon wasn't valid because I used a more expensive oil. I probably looked like someone kicked my puppy because the original guy never told me that. For a high mileage oil change, fluid top off, air filter, and serpentine belt I was looking at $160. After he realized the first guy had been told about my coupon, he gave me a $10 discount. I was happy again! He also gave me a loyalty card that gives me my 6th oil change free. Bonus!! The thing I liked the most about them, is that they could tell my car had some issues while starting, and they offered some ideas and mentioned that the auto shop up the street was theirs too. I can say that I will definitely be back here, and I may even try out their auto shop. The service was great, and my car's asthma is silenced for a bit. :P
