About Prince Custom Auto
Prince Custom Auto sits on 36th Road in Flushing and does something the name never tells you: it leads with dash cameras. Google builds its review topics from what customers actually write, and here dash cam installation ranks ahead of window tinting. The shop's own social bio agrees, listing dashcam first, then tint, then custom floor mats. For a business filed under auto upholstery, that is three different trades before the category even gets a mention. The range is genuinely wide. Alongside tint and dash cams the shop fits vinyl wraps and color changes, works with XPEL and 3M film, builds custom seat covers and floor mats, and installs ambient lighting and other modifications. It is the sort of place where a customer arrives for one thing and leaves having quietly solved three. Dash cam work is the specialty worth explaining. A camera plugged into a cigarette socket is a camera that dies with the ignition, which means it records the drive and misses the parking lot. A hard-wired install takes power from a switched circuit and a constant one, so the camera can keep watching while the car sits. On a modern vehicle that shares a data network across its systems, tapping the wrong circuit is how a dashboard light appears a week later. Doing it properly is the difference between a gadget and a witness. The seat-cover and floor-mat side is the upholstery trade in miniature: patterns cut to a specific model rather than pulled off a shelf, in materials the customer picks. Reviewers describe being walked through the options patiently, and one calls the shop the best in Queens and underrated in the same sentence. The practical details are simple. Prince Custom Auto opens at nine and closes at seven, seven days a week, with no shorter Sunday. The 36th Road location sits minutes from Northern Boulevard and Main Street, and the shop works in Mandarin and English, which is why its listing carries service terms in both.
Reputation & Reviews Summary
Prince Custom Auto holds a Google standing that puts it among the stronger custom shops in Queens, and the reviews come from a clientele that clearly compares before it commits. Dash cams dominate the record. Google's own topics rank dash cam installation first, ahead of window tinting, custom floor mats and clean tint. One Local Guide describes calling to get a Wolf Box camera hard-wired, being fitted in quickly, and noticing on the way out that the shop does plenty more besides, naming tints and wraps. That is the pattern in miniature: people arrive for the camera and discover the rest. The seat covers earn the warmest writing. A customer calls the shop the best in Queens and underrated in the same breath, praising high-quality material at affordable prices and staff who explained the choices rather than pushing them. Another Local Guide describes a team that was quick, accommodating and professional throughout, and who took the time to educate rather than upsell. The shop itself gets noticed. Reviewers mention a bright, clean facility, fair pricing and prompt service, and installs finished faster than expected. For a shop with no website, whose public face is a small social account and a keyword-heavy map listing, the consistency of the feedback does the work a website would. What the regulars suggest is short. Phone first on (718) 621-9888 rather than dropping in. Ask for the hard-wired option if the camera needs to watch the car while it is parked. Bring the year and model for seat covers and mats, because the work is cut to the vehicle rather than pulled from stock. With the doors open ten hours a day and no day off, the visit rarely has to wait for one.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Prince Custom Auto actually specialize in?
Dash cameras, more than anything. Google's review topics rank dash cam installation ahead of window tinting, and the shop's own social bio lists dashcam first. Alongside that it does tint, vinyl wraps and color changes, custom seat covers, floor mats, ambient lighting and other modifications.
Why does a hard-wired dash cam matter?
A camera powered from the cigarette socket switches off with the ignition, so it records your drive and misses your parking space. Hard-wiring takes power from both a switched and a constant circuit, letting the camera keep watch while the car sits. It has to be tapped correctly on cars whose systems share a data network.
Does Prince Custom Auto make custom seat covers?
Yes, and it is one of the reasons Google files the shop under auto upholstery. Seat covers and floor mats are cut to the specific model rather than pulled off a shelf, in materials the customer chooses. Reviewers single out the material quality and the pricing.
When is Prince Custom Auto open?
Every day, nine in the morning until seven at night, with no shortened Sunday. That seven-day, ten-hour schedule is unusual and means most visits do not need to wait for time off work.
Do they speak Mandarin at Prince Custom Auto?
Yes. The shop works in both Mandarin and English, which is why its map listing carries its services in both languages. It sits on 36th Road in Flushing, minutes from Northern Boulevard and Main Street. Call (718) 621-9888.
