Highly recommend Tom for all car audio needs. I was unable to get in touch with anybody over the phone finally after driving all the way to Best Buy I was told that they didn’t have any appointments available till November. All I wanted was for new front speakers on my old used car I just purchased to be replaced as they were blown out as soon as possible and for a reasonable price. Finally after driving all over I found Tom on Google and he was able to see me on the spot In the evening and he had the exact speakers Best Buy sold in stock and was extremely honest and after watching him install the speakers I could see that he was very knowledgeable on all different types of cars and what he was doing. His price was way lower then the estimate I got at Best Buy and the speakers were brand new And my car was left not only with new speakers but in better shape and he helped fix a couple things that needed On his own time just because he’s very honest and good people. I would definitely bring my car back and recommend Tom to all my Friends and family.
We spent A lot of time looking around for places where we could find the issue on my dodge charger 2006 tried installing a new radio but I accidentally blew some fuses and i had no idea what was going on finally after googling i found tom he answered the phone immediately and told me to bring the car to him on the spot once i get there he immediately worked on the problem found the issue and fixed it, hes very knowledgeable and honest very friendly and the thing that i liked the most about his service is how he puts his heart into the job, definitely coming back for all of my car audio needs Highly recommend his service. Ill be getting A LOT of work done on my car with tom.
Just had my car stereo along with front an rear speakers installed today. could not be happier tom is a master craftsman at his work.nicest guy if your looking for any of his services i highly recommend .
If you need car electronic work done, this is the place to come! After solid recommendations from people who had work done by Tom, I traveled 45 minutes from Mineola for Tom to work on my cars....and, I was not disappointed! He just installed LED headlights on my car. His workmanship is outstanding and you just cannot tell it is not OEM. He does all the work himself and clearly takes his time doing the job just right. Tom also installed Xenon headlights and fog lights on my sons car...again, he provided meticulous attention to detail at a very fair price! Tom stands behind his work....you can call him 3 months or 12 months after an installation and he will fix it! And, if he doesnt have a part he will even try to get a temp fix in place for you until the part comes in....wow!This is the place you should come for LED and Xenon headlights, stereo systems, window tinting, auto car starting, boat and car speakers, and home entertainment system set-ups. Tom is honest and gives a VERY fair price....how often can we say that in todays business world! He runs his business from his home...and treats his customers like respected guests! This is the kind of businessman that deserves our trade. I plan on doing more business with him in the future.
I needed a touchscreen stereo installed and came across toms stereo, I noticed all the excellent reviews and had tried big companies that didn’t have excellent reviews like him and am so happy I found him.trust me he is awesome,very knowledgeable and friendly and does phenomenal work he even fixed a reception issue I had that other companies didn’t.All I have to say is I wouldn’t go anywhere else.so happy I would give him 10 stars if I could
After you review many of Toms customer comments, you will think this is a broken record! I too was drawn to Tom by the many positive reviews over a fairly long period of time. I called him regarding an upgraded stereo system install on my 2017 Ram 1500 and he was very accommodating, to say the least. He is very busy but was able to take care of my request in just a few days; the results were spectacular! Unbelievably clean, smart and efficient install, zero engine noise and absolute stealth, all at a completely fair price. As many have said, Ive used most of the big names on the Island and always had the same results, poor service, sloppy installs and terrible customer service. Tom is a rare individual who takes pride in his work, knows what hes doing and is very responsive to his clients. Needless to say, he will be my goto guy for all future projects!
He was very nice and take pride in his worklove my system
Took care of my car quickly and he’s reasonably priced and super nice !!Others wanted me to wait 2-3 weeks and I needed it done for a road trip the next day. A friend referred me to him and I’m glad he did .Thanks Tom!!! Your the bestest !!
Without a doubt, Suffolks best kept car stereo secret. I have been a car stereo enthusiast for 40+ years. I started using Tom 2 years ago. Tom is an accomplished installer and since he works alone from his home, he bypasses the overhead of a store. Translation? Superior craftsmanship at the best prices ANYWHERE. He is on Angies List for a reason. This is world class, 5 star stereo installation (and more).
Toms Car Stereo is great. Its hard to find someone who considers the vehicle theirs when they work on it, Tom does just that. He installed two amps, speakers all around including component speakers, new deck and wiring for three LED light bars. The install was so clean, he went above and beyond what I thought I would get for the amount paid. Dont bother with the big car stereo places.
I 1st when to Tom for a train horn install. I was so happy with his profession install that i went back to him a couple months later to have my audio system install i couldnt be happier of the outcome,he change all my speakers,install amps, box and led lighting, etc.Hes real techno with his stuff hell do stuff you only see in 007 movies,anything you need hell do it. He also sells speakers,radios,amps and built s custom boxes and wraps all his wood work in carpet like i said really professional. He takes the time to text/call you with updates and cheapest price all around i shop around to over 5 stores and Toms prices were always about 40% cheaper. Definitely will keep recommending Tom to all my friends and family.
Just came back from picking up my 2015 GMC Acadia from Tom who did an awesome job of installing my laser interceptor. Found Tom via his great reviews on google and now I can see why. After a brief phone call explaining what work I needed done Tom was onboard and offered me a list of very quick install date options. When I dropped off my car I did a quick review with him my requests about preferred install options and locations and he was all set. He did a perfect job, very neat and clean install just the way I would have done it myself if I had the expertise ;-). Very reasonably price and nice and a really guy, I highly recommend and will definitely use again. Thanks Tom!
Toms a great guy and does great service. Honest and Good prices, I looked around a lot before I found him, hes experienced, flexible and did a great job installing my head unit, building sub boxes, installing my amps, rewiring my amateur mistakes, and installing my alarm. I really recommend him to anyone that I can.
Tom did excellent work that exceeded my expectations. The job was done the right way and all wiring was run very cleanly. I will be back again with my other vehicles and already have recommended Toms Care Stereo to some friends who needed some work done.
I had Tom install speakers and an amp in my 2013 Porsche Boxster. The interior is full leather and you could not tell that anything had been touched or removed. The installation of the amp was super clean and all the work was done in short order. The system sounds great and I could not be happier. 100% recommend, great job Tom
I too was drawn to Toms Car Stereo by all the high praise he receives. The first time I called Tom about upgrading the deck in my 2007 Avalon he spent 20 minutes on the phone with me. Even more notable, he was in the middle of an install. Needless to say it was a no-brainer right from the start. When it came time to install, I brought my little punch list to go over the details. Ive been mocked for this by other installers, only to have them not do what I asked. Not Tom, he listened intently, and even said this is what youre supposed to do. In the end, he did everything I asked for exactly as I specified. He also fixed my drivers side power window which had been dragging for years after a previous install. He even fixed some odds and ends I had mentioned in passing but didnt ask him to fix. I have a good amount of experience with car audio systems and various installers. Tom is friendly, attentive, knowledgable, accomodating and professional, all at VERY reasonable prices. So, ALL the nice things people are saying about this guy are TRUE! Please trust me and do yourself a favor, let Tom take care of all of your mobile-electronic needs. This guy REALLY CARES about his work.
Ever since Tom and i were 17 years old and we first started driving, he was installing his own (and mine) radios, car speakers, tweeters, sub woofers, amplifiers, remote starts and tvs. He was born with the gift to do this line of work. And he does it flawlessly. Wild heh
I am glad I know an audio go to guy that I trust with any vehicle, All the above reviews are spot on! I had a Kennwood radio purchased by Crutchfield and he installed it at an unbelievable rate. Workmanship was top notch and all the adapters were missing, Not a problem, I think I have it 2 minutes later he is telling me that he is not going to change his price due to the missing hardware! Not, He got a nice tip and I feel like I made out like a bandit. Would recommend to anyone and would not be worried about how they will be treated. Tom was awesome..... Your search will be over tooNever met him before install, Hope to meet him again
I highly recommend Toms Car Stereo.Just had some work done there, and hes incredibly efficient, good at what he does, and honest. You know that youre getting a fantastic job fair price, and his work is very detail-oriented; no shortcuts.
Tom is amazing, knowledgeable, and informative. If you have any car electrical needs you must see Tom. Thanks Tom!
Ignored my calls, text and email doesn’t work. Guess he’s not doing this anymore or doesn’t want my business. Ended up doing the install myself
Excellent service. I got new speakers, an amplifier and a subwoofer for my 4runner. Tom did such as great job on my truck for very reasonable price. Highly recommended!
Really such a gentlemen. His price is right very fair. he is a very knowledgeable teck. pleasure to work with very accommodating very friendly really knows how to treat a customer . I would recommend Tom proudly. A old fashion American honest human being. Tom thumbs up to you. thanks for the remote start install on my Black rav4 . can only rave about you. Thanks. Mark B. from Port jeff
I have to start with WOW. I am a bit new to the Smithtown, St James area. In my prior life I used to go to a car stereo installer in Bellmore who I knew and trusted for over 15 years. My Alpine receiver finally died in my 11 year old VW GTI. What to do? I was really dragged about this but everything wears out in time I guess. Long story short I ordered a new Kenwood car stereo receiver nothing THAT special..but now I wanted it installed YESTERDAY I was in a rush.I googled around and saw this guy Tom with a bunch of great reviews. Honestly I am always a bit skeptical about on line reviews being FIXED somehow, but when I see more than 4-5 and they are spread out over lots of months or years I tend to rely on reviews to make a choice. Long story short I called Tom on VERY short notice, I was lucky he had a free couple of hours where he said he could install my stereo..and I only live about 15 minutes away from where Tom works.Heres the WOW part. First of all you can just tell Tom is VERY honest...hes very friendly and most important he KNOWS what he is doing. Hes so nice he actually tried to first revive my dead alpine just in case we could get it to work again. Sadly the Alpine was truly dead but Tom got rid of a MESS of wires my prior installer put in. Tom had my new Kenwood installed and sounding GREAT all within about 15-20 minutes. Tom even pointed out I had an intermittent short out on my whole right doors speakers I hadnt even noticed. He wasnt trying to sell me anything just wanted to make sure I was happy and that ALL was working. I then told him to go ahead fix the door speakers as well. As old as my VW is he was super careful in taking the door panel off not a smudge or a scratch. In the end all was working GREAT Tom then took the time to explain how to use my new stereo ..it was just a GREAT experience and Tom is VERY reasonable with his low rates!.. Sorry this review is so long but Tom deserves your business! I will be a lifetime customer next time I need any car stereo or alarm work done..TOM is the guy!!
Tom is great! Very knowledgeable, great pricing & the work done is excellent Every time. I always recommend everyone to go here! :)
It is refreshing to find someone who explains and takes pride in his work and doesnt try to sell you on something you might not need. He is very careful in doing his installs. If (like me) youre paranoid about modifying your new car, dont be. He is meticulous.
Tom installed LED headlights and an alarm system. Great prices. Great service. Very knowledgeable. Very accommodating. Super nice guy. Thanks Tom.
Toms work ethic blows my mind. Always on the ball in a efficient and timely manner. Tons of work done by him in various types of vehicles. Recently, an Avital 2-way alarm/remote start. Its awesome. Get one. Component speakers. Rear dash speakers. 2 Kickers in the trunk inside a custom sealed box, built by Tom. 2 amps and a capacitor on a tombstone rack built by Tom. L.E.D.s in the front floor, back floor & trunk. MULTIPLE dash kits... single and double DIN. 2 Ultra Start remote start systems in the past. He is honest and fair. Which is few by far. And hes CLEAN!!! No messy wires fraying everywhere...everything in its place. Which could avoid a fire hazard, come to think of it. You want custom work? You want it done correctly? You see Tom.
Tom quickly diagnosed my power window issue and repaired it while I wait much more cheaply than I expected. I will definitely be going back when Im ready to get a better car stereo
Great work, I’m happy I chose Tom to install my JBL bass-pro hub spare tire subwoofer .Go to Tom you’ll not be disappointed .
Tom is great. Extremely knowlegable and neat. I have used him 5 times and my family only trusts him with our car electronics.
Highly recommend this place I went there with a car I wanted to have some work done for my nephew and the place and staff were all very professional, courteous, and went above and beyond while being patient in explaining everything to me and how to work the new system, I appreciated the patience and time they took with me.
Very professional, neat, clean and not looking to rip you off. Fair prices for everything I wanted and got it done in a timely fashion.
He was great very good prices had him install my new speakers which sound amazing

2021-05-02Tom is flawless at what he does. Came in on a Sunday to have my radio installed and everything worked out perfect. I will continue to do business with Tom!!

2021-03-06Nothing short of stellar. The reviews are all the same because he really does the best job. Twenty years of working with different installers and shops and Tom is in a class of his own. His work ethic is on another level and he goes over every detail. I wanted a specific type of install and I got exactly what I hoped for. The quality of the equipment is only a portion of how your car will sound. It’s also how well you install it. We went over all of my expectations and he delivered at a great price. My 1998 Jeep sounds better than my 2016 Dodge Challenger that was done elsewhere. I wish I had known of his work beforehand. Don’t hesitate.

2017-08-28Tom is absolutely one of the finest people you will ever meet. He did an incredible job on my Jeep Wrangler. I had Tom install power windows, power locks, remote start and a backup camera. Tom was very knowledgeable and did an excellent job going over all of the details of the process.. The job took slightly longer than expected but the end result was perfect. His prices were fair and work was impeccable. He kept me informed each and every step. Tom went out his way to source parts for me (going to junk yard, multiple trips to dealers, etc). He also provided custom solutions when it seemed we were stuck or had to wait on dealer for parts. I was thoroughly impressed with Toms knowledge and enthusiasm about cars. Im glad to have met Tom and I would highly recommend Tom to anyone with car customization needs. You will not be disappointed!
