I brought my MB Glk 350 in for a complete stereo, Hid headlights, Camera and Radar detector, the store owner John Faust, and his installers are impressive. This I did 7 years ago but never wrote a review. I just today went back for a small issue and the same installer is there from about 7 years ago. I was really surprised, impressed, to see they keep high quality installers that really know electronics. Usually quality workers leave. ABC knows their business.

I sought installation of an Apple Car Play radio in a 2012 vehicle. The questions I had and the answers given reassured me that I was in the right place. The process was easy and the answers to all my question were readily given. On the day of installation I was reassured they had all the parts and I would be contacted when the car was ready. The installation was done as professionally as I would expect.

In fact the new radio and face plate look nicer than the original equipment when I bought the car. I was given instructions on using the Car Play and all of the ways in which it would work. Thank you for a very good experience and a perfect installation.

Tony Tumbarello was great. Treated me much better than his competitor, Ray's Electronics. Bring your car here or their Elk Grove Village location. Don't waste time or money anywhere else.

Very professional service and competitive prices. Dropped off my truck at 9am to have a remote start installed. They had it ready to go by noon. I'd definitely recommend this shop.

ABC is great! Known them since the 90s on Harlem and Cermak they would work on all my dads trucks and now with my own. Tony knows his stuff and gets things right the first time and they make good on their word/warranties! 100% recommend!

I called ABC's and spoke to Tony, he was very polite and kind. I explained I am a Nurse with limited time and Tony got me in the same day and installed my automatic car starter that same day. Great service, facility was clean with a comfortable waiting room. I will definitely return for my future auto needs! Thank you ABC automotive!

I called on Saturday (1/8/22) inquiring about remote starter installation. Tony answered the phone and he was very helpful in answering my question(s) about the process. I went to the shop a few days later to speak with Tony regarding the type of starter I wanted. Again, he was very helpful and knowledgeable of the products and the type of starter I would need for my Mazda.

I ended up choosing the 2-way Viper for $395 and informed Tony that I'd be back on Saturday (1/15/22) to get it installed, which took about 3 hours. After installation, Tony gave me a quick how-to and I was on my way. Thank you, Tony, for your great customer service and to the crew for great technician skills! I will definitely recommend Tony & crew to family and friends!

Learned about this place from a friend. I was able to get a new remote car starter the same day even though I had no appointment and there were lots of cars ahead of me. That meant a lot because I had been trying to find a place to put in a starter for almost a month! Thanks again Tony, you're the best!

I have been to ABC a few times. Initially, I visited to gain information on radios and remote starters; then I returned to get my radio fixed (the other company that installed it did not connect the wiring properly); and, most recently, I was there to get a two-way remote starter installed in my car. Every time I visited, the service was great: friendly and knowledgeable staff, patience with providing information specific to my car's make and model, and they are very reliable.

If they give a time frame, it is accurate. I have not had the best experience with other places so I was naturally skeptical at first. I can boldly state that I trust ABC with my car. They certainly get the job done and only sell you what you need. During my first visit to the location, another customer told be how great they are. I highly recommend them for electronic products and services!

I wasn't sure when I came in exactly what to get but I knew what I wanted and Tony was awesome he took really good care of me and I got exactly what was needed. He also got me a ride back home which I thought was really cool. Javier I believe his name was took me home and he was extremely nice and friendly. I will definitely recommend ABC to everyone. Also Tony made sure I knew how to use my remotes before I left and if I had any problems to give him a call. Best place ever!
