Audio Designs

Hands down most attentive and efficient business I've had the pleasure of working with -The things these guys can do- amazing, everything (even if you don't think they can, just ask you may be surprised. AND the price is more than fair... I cannot say enough about Michael and the guys! more

I can go on and on about Michael and his team at Audio Designs. They have been working on my Land Rover Defender 130 and my Porsche Cayenne Turbo for the last 2 months. The work, care, thinking and service is unbeatable. They went out of their way so many times to get me what I needed. All the guys there are true genius'. I wish I had more cars to bring them! Seriously they are the best guys to work with in the tri-state area. No need to go anywhere else! more

A+++ These guys are really the best. I have taken both my Aston and Defender 90 in for custom work. If you expect excellent work and timely service trust me they will deliver. A+ all around. more

A+ Real Pro's ... This is the second truck i've taken there for DVD/NAV/SAT etc ... The work looks like it came from the factory and the follow up/customer service you just don't get anymore. I highly recommend Michael and his team. more

I wouldn't dream of taking my car any place else in NY for audio work. Michael is a real stand up guy. Treats his customers extremely well, is knowledgeable, and a consumate professional. The staff does superb work and always goes the extra mile.\r \r I've brought two cars in here multiple times over the course of the past few years and always have been tremendously pleased. These guys are top notch. more

Found this place via internet search, called up and spoke with Michael. Was treated exceptionally well. Michael is friendly, honest, and professional. The staff here does fantastic work. They did a really excellent job on a custom radar and laser jammer install. They told me the best time to drop the car off and the turnaround time was also good. I have absolutely nothing bad to say about this place. I will most definitely come to them again in the future for all my custom car needs. more

I've used these guys multiple times, and the results have always been *perfect.* They've re-done an audio install that another shop botched, ran some custom electronics for me, done an excellent job on a full detail of my (black) cabrio, and most recently installed an altec show-and-go front plate (which looks great). Stefano, Michael, Jess really know their stuff, and are *great* guys to boot. I can't recommend them strongly enough more

Excellent knowledge of the latest and best digital equipment for cars and its installation,that is done properly so your car will not suffer or be damaged. They are great with scheduling and delivering the goods on time and their friendly customer service is excellent,always taking care of their customers personally. Michael Angelo and Stefano are easily reach and will answer and explain everything to you,their recommendations are great and they will work with you to get you the most and the best for your money. Superb !! more

I have dealt with Michael Angelo for quite a few years. His work has always been exceptional. He is very knowledgeable of the latest items out on the market and can fix anything. We had an incredibly BAD job done from another audio place on a custom van where there was a TV, xbox, Ipod, DVD etc all previously installed and he was able to fix everything without any issues. He is accurate when he gives you a time frame which is also important. Recommend Audio designs highly! Thanks to the guys at Audio Design more

Needed to get a new CD player w/ Ipod hook up installed quickly for a cross country trip - Michael and his team were honest and straightforward about price and timing from the get go - excellent experience! Would highly recommend! Thanks again guys more

A car shop that treats women fairly in NYC is RARE. My dealing with Auto design was pleasure and getting my new iPhone hooked up to my stereo and a Bluetooth is amazing!! The price was fair and was actually comfortable with the owner Stefano who was super nice and spent over half an hour showing me how to use the system... I recommend Auto design for your auto gadgets . more

These guys are unbelieveble, a great experiance. I brought my Carrera 4 in for a audio/video/Nav and integrated IPOD system. What led me there was that I saw an advertisement, and learned that they have done work for the most well known dealerships throughout the country, who sell and service the finest cars in the world. First, I met Stefano and Michael who met with me, and custom designed a system for my car. The attention to detail was impressive, the appearance maintained virtually a stock look, and the sound was not to be believed. Truly, even Porsche could never achieve the sound (highs, lows and mid) that these true proffessionals achieved. I couldn't reccommend them more highly. Also, their prices couldn't be more reasonable. more

Professional, knowledgeable, friendly and patient. A rare combination in the city. Whether it’s Ferraris and Bentleys which they specialize in, or your Honda, the work and attention to detail is 1st rate. more

I drive a 1987 Lincoln Town Car. routinely driving between Killington Vt. and NYC. A high quality sound system is essential to me. The system installed by Audio Designs far exceeded my expectations. The clarity and quality of the sound is instanly impressive. \r \r I am so often met with other people's shock at the quality and neatness of their installation work when I pop my trunk.\r \r And they treated my ""vintage"" car with total respect. more

I have a 2007 Santa Fe and the CD player packed in and there was no apparent way to install an iPod connection. Hyundai dealer had no clue how to fix, modify or replace it, in fact they said they knew it was impossible, so a friend recommended Audio Designs on 10th. They knew exactly what to do (rigging an ipod dock into the FM with a switch to cancel out interference) and the whole thing was turned round in a day, professionally and so far it sounds great. I would definitely go back to these guys in future. more

I recently picked up a used Porsche and decided i needed a radar detector. The dealer were i bought the Porsche recommended Michael Angelo, and said he could help me out. I called Michael, we talked, and he ended up telling me about a great system by Valentine One along with the Blinder laser system. I made an appointment to meet with Mike and he showed me the system they have on display at the shop and by Six O'clock that night i had the most amazing radar laser jamming system I have ever seen installed in my car. The installation looks like it came from the factory and works great. I would definitely recommend Audio Designs to my friends. more

I left my car with my boyfriend's sister for a couple of months while I left town. She said she'd look after it for me. Her idea of looking after it was to move it under a row of mimosa trees, where she completely ignored it for the entire summer (during a 100+ degree heat wave) as tiny leaves, dirt, bird poop, sticks and pollen accumulated in every crack and crevice of the car, 3"" of crud piled up under the sunroof visor, dead leaves baked into every inch of rubber, and mulch formed in the wiper wells! When I finally went to pick it up, it looked so bad that I cried (and then I called AAA to jump-start it). My car, which had only 25,000 miles on it, looked as if it should be towed to a junk lot. I thought I would have to take it to the Bronx or the 'burbs to deal with it. I cried a lot. And then I went on Citysearch and saw the reviews for Audio Designs. So I drove on over and met with Michael Angelo. Now, the price he quoted me wasn't the lowest in town. But I knew that my car was well beyond those ""Westside highway"" drive-up car washes, and needed a minor miracle. Plus, my inspection sticker had run out, and he told me the guys in the garage next door could do it fast right then, which they did. Ten minutes, in and out. Cut to: almost 4 hours of loving care by Steve, the amazing in-house detailing guy, who does every step of the work himself, and takes real pride in his work. When I came to pick the car up, I couldn't believe it. My car looked new. It was shiny, beautiful, just incredible!! I have no idea how the dude did it, but it's like, for the price of a detailing, he gave me back a brand-new car. He even somehow magically erased the white paint mark my nephew had created from hitting a parking column. Plus, he offered to remove the cracked-in-half plastic sunroof visor -- which the dealership told me had to be replaced, and could not just be removed -- thereby saving me over $100. All of this, and in the middle of Manhattan. I strolled down the Highline to Chelsea Market while they worked on my car, and got some sushi. Freakin' amazing. Five stars. Worth every penny. I just wish they were mechanics, too. more

I live and work in the city, and I was looking for a place that could upgrade my sound system and install a radar detector. \r If you're like me, you're very apprehensive about just anyone working on their car. \r \r I found Stefano by surfing the web, I took a chance and made an appointment , and now i can say I'm amazed with the work done to both of my cars. \r I dropped off both cars : \r 1) 1987 911 targa \r 2) 2010 Audi S4 \r I went and met with Stefano, we talked about what my needs were, my budget, and he came up with a plan for both cars: Valentine 1 hidden in the mirror , with radar jammers, and upgraded radio / speakers/ amps. I explained to him, that I wanted everything as hidden and/or as stock-looking in the car, as possible, that's my personal pref. \r \r Stefano explained to me exactly what he would install, and he managed my expectations on price, products , and the time needed to complete the work. \r \r Hands down, Stefano's shop does the best work in NYC. All of the work completed, was done with precision and pride, and I like that he stands behind everything he does. \r I trust his work so much, that I have referred 4 other friends with varying amounts of work to be done. \r \r Every install, being something small , or a large job, he has treated me and my friends fairly and gets the job done to his customer's expectations. \r I only bring my cars, and friends to Stefano as I trust his work will be done right and with care. If I ever need any type of that work done, I always go to Audio Design / Stefano. thank you. \r more

I brought my one year old Maxima in to be detailed. It had a few scratches and the interior was awash in crumbs, coffee spills, apple juice spills and stray Cheerios. Michael set up an appointment and accommodated my scheduling needs. He looked over the car and told me what he could fix regarding the scratches and what couldn't be accomplished with compounding. He called me a few hours later and I picked up the car fully detailed inside and out and even under the hood. The car looks as good as the day I picked it up at the dealer. I plan to use Audio Design next year when detailing season comes around. A great job and a great experience. Pros: Michael is hands on, and they did a perfect job more

Michael Angelo was recommended to me by the Range Rover Dealer where I bought my 2003 Range Rover. He assured me that Michael was honest, attentive to details, thorough and reliable. He was that and more! \r \r After years of wearing a bluetooth headset, and feeling my brain swelling, I decided that my IPhone should work with the cars sound system as fluidly as new cars. I wanted the call to come in through my sound system and automatically turn off the device in use. I asked Michael for guidance on what to do.\r \r Although I love technology, I don't have the patience to evaluate all the features and decifde on a product. My wife does!...I asked Michael if she could phone him to discuss the options available for the 2003 Rover and choose the system that would be best for my needs and my families, without requiring a car loan!\r \r So he spoke to my wife and installed the perfect model radio receiver, bluetooth, ipod, DVD capable thing at a very reasonable price in a very efficient, thorough way. I love it and reccomend Michael and his Company for any auto sound related improvement. He knows his stuff without flaunting his stuff! \r \r Thank You Michael Pros: Honest, Informative and Efficient Cons: N/A more
