I wanted a new head unit (new model out), and they got me in the same day. The installation was done super fast, and everything was done very well. This is the absolute best place for car audio in the greater Madison area.

The owner listened to my wishes, provided several options. I made an appointment for install. All went well, including a microphone for the phone, and including a walk-thru of operation by Jeremy. It works great, and is easy to use, just as hoped. Manage calls while listening to audio books or music. When a call comes in, tap to answer and the audio pauses. After the call ends, the audio resumes where it left off. Good microphone fidelity for callers, and good fidelity for Bluetooth audio. Other features too, such as CD player and radio, of course. Friendly, helpful, all done on time.
Description of Work: Helped select a replacement car radio to meet my wishes, and provided and installed it. I wanted to add Bluetooth phone and audio functionality.

Description of Work: I used them first for a special project to pull out some big old shrubs. They were great about this and very reasonable price because he also ground the stumps. I then decided to hire them for winter snow clearing which included plowing parking lot and sidewalks, but the sidewalks were to be cleared only if over 2 inches is how I specified it in the contract. He shoveled walks a couple times when less than 2 inches for which I was billed. I paid first time or two it happened but after that I did not and he was OK with that. There was one instance where we had more than 10 inches or so of snow and they did not show up. I had tenants calling to ask when would things be cleared. I finally called him at noon and he said some of his equipment broke and he would be late. This happens, I do understand, but it would have been nice to have received a phone call as soon as he knew he would be late. When I emailed they were always good about responding. Overall good company, I think they are just new and working through some growth issues. I would try them again.

Description of Work: I was looking for some home appliances but AMS seemed overpriced compared to what I could get at other big box stores, so I opted not to use them.

They did an absolutely amazing job. Considering all the wiring and custom work that needed to be done, I was sure I would notice cut corners at least a little bit. Not only did they do extremely good work, they fixed the lousy work another business performed. The attention to detail is very evident in every aspect of this install. On a scale from 1 to 10, I give these guys 9,001.
Description of Work: I had a stereo system installed in my car. They put component speakers in the front, coaxial speakers in the back, and a subwoofer in the trunk. They also installed the amplifier for the whole setup.

I like everything about them. They were very knowledgeable, professional and friendly. The technicians that came out were on their early twenties, but they were very good.
Description of Work: They setup our home entertainment system and our satellite dish.

This was my second installation of a direct wire connection for a radar detector with AMS. The first time was exceptional and the second was very good in regards to installation, speed and quality of work performed. The job was completed below estimate and took just over an hour this last time, as they had to install a longer wire ran to a connection point with sufficient voltage. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for installing accessories in a vehicle. They really seem to care about their reputation, work quality, time schedule and products.
Description of Work: Hard wire installation of a third party radar detector.
