After getting quotes from a handful of places between Queensbury and Albany, I decided to schedule a remote starter installation with Capital Customs. Jesse was very responsive and very patient as I asked questions. I showed up for my appointment and one of the techs promptly took my key fob and went to get my vehicle. About 10 minutes later, Jesse informed me that my vehicle was already equipped with a factory-installed remote starter and he told me how to use it. I went outside to test it out and it worked. I was impressed with the communication, the preparation for my appointment and - most of all - the HONESTY. Jesse saved me hundreds of dollars and I would recommend Capital Customs to anyone.

Jesse was very professional. He went above and beyond with his service. I was amazed with the quality of work and how quick it was performed. I would highly recommend Capital Customs.

Discriminates I am disabled I had a 1 pm appt he text me at 1:10 I text him back 1:10 it took me 4 minutes to walk from poorly maintained parking lot once I made it inside at 1:14, he already had a customer they are older Caucasian gentleman. He was halfway done working on his car. He told me time waits for nobody and I need to reschedule. The policy is 15 minutes. I was in there before 15 minutes, he still took this gentleman ready was working on his car before me now he called me from two different numbers upset accusing me of being a racist. He said I was 20 minutes late. The cameras work I walked in there at 1:13. Their policy is 15 minutes. He’s a liar. Please do not go there ever you will get poor service and he will treat you on fairly. This is my opinion it’s not slander. It’s the truth and what I experience. How could he be working on the man’s car at 1:14? I had a 1 o’clock appointment but sides are an hour hour and a half apart. He’s a liar and he’s a Shady business Me in my opinion Best Buy as a deal with a warranty and they give you a bonus gift card. Have a blessed day.

I called Capital Customs this morning to see about an after factory car starter. The one I had no longer worked and I knew it was an older one. The gentleman on the phone gave me a price and since I told him I wanted to get appt asap he asked if I wanted to come today. I was told wait time would be 1 1/2 hrs. They were done in an hour. I now have my new starter which is guaranteed for life. I’m one happy lady. I would highly recommend them. They were great.

This is a great place to have audio work done. You may see negative reviews, and wonder who is right when you see the owner's responses. The owner knows what they are doing very well and does not suffer fools. Based on my experience, those leaving negative reviews were being unreasonable or uninformed/naïve. I went in to have speakers and head unit replaced in my 2003 Miata, as well as tweeters and amp added to it. The work was very well done, completed faster than I needed it, with high-end- very well reviewed audio equipment used.

can't say enough good things about Capital Customs! A few years ago, I had an automatic car starter installed by them, and when it recently stopped working, I reached out. They were incredibly accommodating, telling me to come in at my convenience. When I arrived, they took care of the issue in just 5 minutes—free of charge! It’s refreshing to see a business that truly stands behind its lifetime warranty. Their customer service is outstanding, and I highly recommend them for any car custom work. You won't be disappointed!

Highly recommend! Have gone here twice so far. First for a sub and amp and just the other day to have some lights wired up. Both jobs were quick and fairly priced. The owner Jesse is very polite and doesn't have an issue answering any questions or explaining anything. Will be having them install a remote start in the future as well. If you need anything definitely a good place to try.

I went to get an estimate on installing music in my car, and the worker wouldnt shut up. Every time I spoke, he cut me off to say something. I was only spending $5,000 on my car entertainment. After that horrible encounter, Im going somewhere else. Where someone listens to the customer. This cupcake response with insults. I have enough money to pay for what I want done to one of my 3 cars. To say I had $500 is a joke. The response shows the person who did the estimate is clearly butt hurt from my review. I stated the facts. Maybe listen to your customers cupcake I went to McLoud in Albany and got what I wanted at a great price. They listen to the customer. Do not waste your time or money at Capital Customs.

Butcher shop...... If you are looking for a place that that will use self tapping screws for grounds, mount amplifiers under your power seats so that you cant use the seat anymore, shave off of the coating on your factory wiring, install speakers and blow one and not take care of it, install a radio and mess up the harness and blame it on the radio and then call back and say you fixed it, not make sure all your work is acceptable nor make sure it all works and actually let it leave the shop sounding like complete garbage than this place is for you! BTW you try and talk to the owner (Jesse) and he wont own a bit of it...... Feel free to respond and I will be happy to post the photos of the butchery. Owner claims I damages my equipment yet his employees used self tappers for my grounds in the sheet metal under the plastic trim when you get into the vehicle. That alone shows the the lack of knowledge or pride in their craft. Who uses self tappers for a 10k amp... alternator noise that I voiced my concern to you as soon as I picked up the vehicle..... the fact you didnt even make sure everything was working correctly before I left... the back up camera..... the fact your workers or you even thought it was a good idea to mount the amp under an electric seat that folds down was a good idea.... the fact that you or your employees, after finding that the ground wasnt any good and shearing of the coating of my factory wiring (right where you put the ground in the first place) and then throw a piece of aluminum tape over the hole they drilled or the fact that your idea of a big 3 upgrade would be to run 4 gauge when the rest of the wires were 0... I mean did you even use an oscope to set the gains to the amps? You sure didnt run the subs at a higher impedance like I had asked either. No I didnt mess up my own equipment, actually I re installed all the equipment the proper way and funny thing once I did a proper big 3 the alternator noise went away. I wasnt looking for some cheap labor. I would have paid more, for a good install. If you didnt want to do it you could have just told me no instead of allowing a cob job install just to get it out the door. You brought up my equipment.. the speakers I had in the doors were 1300+ the radio I had you install was 1500+ the 1500+ all my wires were high end ofc. You talked me into replacing my speakers and selling me some crappie amps. I should have known better to have bought. Not once did I say I wanted to cut corners or was worried about expense. You could have had more business. Instead you have this review that you can deny that it was you or your workers fault all you want and yes its your word against mine but if it comes down to it and I can save a few people from getting their setups destroyed than great. Best of luck. I have learned from this sideshow, I hope you do as well.

Over the past 6 years I have gotten to know Jesse from bringing him various bikes. I m never disappointed by him or his work. The first bike I brought him he did a full speaker over haul, every time I got on that bike it brought a smile to my face knowing how loud the sound system was. Second bike I brought him I needed my oil seals replaced on the primary side due to it leaking, it s dry as a bone now. All around great guy and a great mechanic! Thank you for the amazing work you do!

The next day by lunchtime the bike was done. He did an incredible job and speaker and amp set up sounds amazing. I ll definitely be back. Definitely earned a lifetime customer!!!

Snobby and rude. My wife booked an appointment for me for Christmas here to add a remote starter and upgrade my radio to an Android Auto header unit and backup camera. I had called and talked to one rep who was nice, asked me about my car, and answered all my questions. He confirmed that I could bring in my own header unit on the day of the appointment to be installed as long as it was a recognized name brand. I had one final question about compatibility, and when I called again another rep answered. The second rep was incredibly rude right off the bat. He kept cutting me off and refused to hear out, let alone answer my final compatibility question. Then he told me we only booked for a remote car starter we couldnt do the rest of the install at the same time. If it was a misunderstanding, thats fine, but thats not what the first person I talked to said, and he acted as if I was the a****** for thinking it was booked for all services. When I tried to schedule a second appointment, he refused and said wed have to come in first to ensure compatibility (again contradicting the other guy, and what can easily be determined through a site like Crutchfield). Frankly he seemed like he was trying to upsell me on additional labor. And when I pointed out that he was being rude and asked if there was anyone else I could talk to, he refused to hand me off (maybe to someone with a cooler head?) and doubled down on the tone. So when I asked the guy who put **** in his coffee that morning, not in a threatening tone at all and just trying to bring him back to earth (because clearly he had other issues going on), he cancelled the appointment! So, if you like to play the customer service lottery, this place might be for you!!! Edit to respond to owner. I never said or implied that I did not want the car starter. That is a fabricated assumption that the individual who was handling the call made, seemingly just because I tried asking a question about a header unit. My assumption that I could bring in a separately purchased head unit in at the time of the appointment was because I explicitly asked that question to the first rep I talked to last week, and he CONFIRMED that it was totally fine. So this shop seems a bit confused if they do not work that way. And its confusion that might have been easily overcome if the 2nd rep hadnt been constantly rude throughout the call.

I never ever post anything good or bad about a business. I drove over 200 miles to have my stereo looked at on my bike.i communicated a few times with the owner previously before making the trip.i get there a hour early and I get the bike off the trailer and he gets it right in to work on it.less than 20 minutes later he tells me that a few wires had been mixed up when the battery was changed. He straightened it right out and gets it working. I said to Jesse the owner how much to I owe you? He said to me you drove two hundred miles to get here you dont owe me anything? Huh? Unheard of???.

Ive never met Jesse, nor he me. He calls me back 10 min later and gave me advice. 2 days later, I text him at my wits end. He walked me, step by step, how to fix my problem (via pics, guidance, etc) until past midnight. And the problem is solved. Ive never been so frustrated with something, and then so relieved iny life. 87 degrees tomorrow and I wanted to listen to my music while riding...thanks to Jesse, I can.

NEVER get your remote starter installed here!! We spent almost $700 on two remote starters and the night of the install my car experienced an electrical surge.. I called them next day and they insisted there was nothing wrong with their install and to keep an eye on it, and if anything else came up to go to a dealer to get it diagnosed because it must have been something different. A few days later my fuel door stops working when i needed to get gas, so i had to pry it open to get it filled. Two days later I bring the car to the dealer like they said and they come up with the remote starter install being done incorrectly with wires swapped. After me sitting at the dealership for 3 hours, they refused to cover the diagnosis fee I was charged when I called Capital Customs to tell them about what was found. They changed their story and say how i should ve brought it to them first to diagnose After another half hour of them fixing their botched install, they also stated the collateral damage of me having to damage the fuel door to get it open was like me locking my keys in the car and breaking the window to get in. Maybe they re right, it was my fault for going to them to have my remote starter installed for them to then cause my fuel door to not work and all this other drama. It was all so unprofessional and the price was definitely too good to be true. Take your money elsewhere!!

I just bought a new car that had a factory audio system that was extremely underwhelming but thanks to Jesse and Billy my car now sounds fantastic, all musical instruments can be distinctly heard with clarity and power. Most of all though is the great customer service that I mentioned above, Billy and Jesse took time to listen and understand what I needed. Much appreciated guys!!!

Im typically a DYI person; however, when a headunit wouldnt come out, I decided to try out Capital Customs. Even though I was quoted for 2 hours of labor, Jessie finished within 1 hour and charged me for 1 hour. I would 100% recommend.

Headlights Upgrade: Big Improvement! I purchased high and low beam halogen headlights from Jesse at Capital Customs on February 28, 2019, and he installed them in my 2016 Hyundai Azera These headlights greatly improve visibility over the original equipment headlights provided by Hyundai. On August 19, 2019, the ballasts failed in the headlights. Jesse was kind enough to replace the entire headlight assemblies, both high and low beams, and install them, at no charge. He also adjusted the aim of the headlights to insure they point as intended, again, at no charge. Jesse stands behind the products he sells and installs, and he is an honest businessman. I highly recommend his shop. Dan H.

I declined but my car was still completed in the time frame that was given! The sound is crisp and clean! I will be back! Great customer service!!!! Thats a fact!!

Capital Customs is the absolute best custom car electronics company in the Capital District! Capital Customs not only has the best prices but they also do the best work! Capital Customs installed a radio for me in my vehicle and they were much more affordable then all other custom car electronics companies in the area. Also I was having an issue with my factory roof marker light kit on my truck and I stopped by Capital Customs and they were able to fix it perfectly, and even better FREE OF CHARGE!! I strongly recommend Capital Customs to all people looking to get stereos, starters, amps, decks or any other car work that Capital Customs does! I will always use Capital Customs!!!

Capital Customs is sooo much more than a car stereo store. I had a headlamp that needed replacing. They had the broken one out and the new one installed in record time. Their prices were very reasonable. The customer service was polite, courteous and knowledgeable about my issue and others as well. There was Mercedes getting tint on the windows while I was there, I couldnt help noticing the craftsmanship. Definitely experience there. So guess what Ill be asking Capital Customs to do next?? Call ahead with your automotive issues... I bet they can help you out!!!!
