I have used Showtime Audio three times. The first time was 8 years ago when they were on North Avenue. They did such a good job and were friendly informative and professional. After they did work on my first car ( Buick) with replacing my radio - navigator- stereo carplay system , I bought in my Toyota and did another excellent job replacement the same system. The third time was just last month's when the first system finally ran its course and they replaced it with the same friendly professionalism with a better unit . Its a pleasure doing business with them.

Im out in california, i had been looking for a full audio sound upgrade for my 2022 ford Raptor. After months of reaserch there was not many reputable shops i can trust, having a small back round in car auido ive installed a system or two in my day but theese electronics in theese new vehicles is crazy scary! This is a whole different ball game. I decided reached out to Jerry and the team at showtime audio. After a few questions i was hooked! They build me a complete DIY bolt in kit anyone with the slight mechanical experience can do. For a fraction of the cost of other online stores. Everything they sent me fit like a glove and extremely happy with the results. This thing bangs! 10 stas if i could!

Jerry, the owner of Showtime Audio, reached out to me to try to make things right with my car audio purchase. I really appreciated all of his efforts. I'm updating my review of Showtime Audio. As I stated before, they are experts in the field and know pretty much everything there is to know about installing custom audio solutions in all different makes of vehicles. Their work is top notch. If you do experience a problem, they are readily available to fix it asap. The only issue I have with them is that they are fairly expensive. I do encourage you to check them out for any of your car audio needs. And if pricing seems high, speak with Jerry and see what he can do for you.

Karl, we understand you were frustrated when you couldn't get in touch with us for a quote. The last thing we want is for our potential customers to be unable to reach us. While we're glad we did a great job on your old BMW, we're sorry you were disappointed with the estimate for the speakers you wanted us to install. As you know, the custom work we do is high-quality and award-winning, but that shouldn't mean our pricing is outrageous. If you would like to discuss this further, please call us at 773-489-7469.
Take care,
Jerry V., OwnerMay 25, 2022Previous reviewShowtimeaudio Audio does awesome work. They are very reliable and do the work perfectly. They outfitted my old BMW and did an incredible job. However, I tried to get a new quote for my new BMW and I believe they have gotten too big and this has gone to their head. It took multiple phone calls and emails to get someone to speak to me and when someone finally did, their quote was way way overpriced. They want to charge me 3 hours of labor at $150 an hour to replace my front speakers for example. The speakers are plug and play and will require maybe 30 min to replace. Their overall quote was close to $10,000 for my car. Showtime Audio does incredible work and you will definitely be satisfied with the end result. Just at what price. If you have money to burn, this place is for you. But if you don't, maybe look elsewhere.

I was a little unsure of taking my 2004 Mustang to Showtime Audio...I called once and left a message and they didn't get back to me right away (because they are super busy!). When I finally spoke with Jerry--he could not have been nicer. I decided to stop by and speak to him in person. No sign on the door--not much of a "show room" but it's because they spend their time and energy on excellent work and great customer service. Jerry presented me with options and was very knowledgeable. I decided on the Kenwood Excelon DMX809S. The radio is an absolute game changer. They did the work in a day--he went through everything with me and when something wasn't quite right, he and another technician fixed it on the spot. I could not be happier. If you are looking to upgrade your car radio--Showtime is the only stop you need to make.

I had Showtime Audio hardwire in my Radenso DS1 into my Aston Martin Vantage. Jerry did an excellent job with the install and I couldn't be happier. I dropped the car off in the morning and picked it up in the afternoon. Thanks Jerry, I'll be back for more projects in the future!

My husband bought an off market infotainment system for my 2015 mini cooper as a present. Yah!!
No (legible or conherent) instructions came with.... boo!!!
Showtime and Jason to the rescue!! They are worth the money. They were not the cheapest qoute but definitely worth it. Jason and his team installed it beautifully and with care!! I even got my old system packed neatly back in a box. From the beginning, Jason kept I contact with me the whole time of appointment scheduling, reminder and install. AND.... he even followed up 2 weeks later to see how I was liking the infotainment system!
I relayed some quirks about the system that I didn't know how to get around like volume control for my music when navigation was on. He said stop by anytime and he will look at it to troubleshoot. "No problem!"
Wow!! Now that's standing by your work and service.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information
