Great Place For Car Electronics!

by Anonymous

Startronics is the best place I have ever been to. They treat you great and their prices are UNBELIEVABLE. I went in with good expectations but they did such an amazing job on my car. They installed my stereo system and navigation system and I love it! I am DEFINETLY going back to Startronics again.

Great GUYS!!!!!

by Mark G.

They were very professional, I'm very satisfied over all!
Great prices too.
I strongly recommend this guys.
I boughta Dension i pod adaptor.
This product is great. It improves the overall iPod experience with full auto integration. Its ability to turn the iPod ON and OFF with the vehicle, while still charging, made it perfect for me. Also feels much safer skipping tracks without touching the iPod or removing my hand from the wheel during drive-time. Highly Recommended!

PROS: Great prices! great job!
CONS:

Perfect tinted windows

by jdreyfus13

Eddie at Startronics did a perfect job on tinting my new truck. He fit me in the same day and got me out of there fast which was necessary for that busy day for me. He also gave me a price that definately beat any other competitors. The job was perfect and I couldn't be happier with my truck.

Pros: Everything

Cons: None

Best Car Audio Specialists

by mhwang86

One thing can be said about Startronics. They strive for quality. Whether it means working hard to make sure the job is done on time or going extra lengths to provide an extremely fair price, Startronics makes sure the customer is satisfied. They are highly knowledgeable in their craft and are not afraid to explain every step they take in the installation process as well as provide their own experienced recommendations, even if it means less money for them. For example, with my little knowledge about car audio, I had asked for the best quality cable for my subwoofer being installed, but they explained it was unnecessary for the bass. Such cables would only make a significant difference to the speakers, which I was keeping stock. Surprised at such honesty, I found myself to be pleasantly satisfied with the finished job. They gave me a great price on the job and excellent sound. I highly recommend these guys to anyone who finds it refreshing to see such honest and qualified businesses still around in la!

Pros: excellent service, awesome sound, and great prices

Cons: none besides the fact that the store was a bit messy b/c of their remodeling

Best Service, amazing sound and WD40 too boot!

by whatsobottau

I had the worst day ever ( the car wash people at Blue Wave blew my stereo) and when I walked in Eddie greeted me with a smile and laughs. He took care of it right away even though he was so busy! I ended up getting a great deal on a whole new system without being pressured at all. Not only did I get a great deal on a stereo, Eddie worked for an hour at least to tweak my amp just how I wanted it, then to top it off....he WD40-ed my doors. So sweet. So knowledgable. Seriously, I cannot recommend Startronics enough. If you want someone to deal with you in a down to earth syle. This is for you:)

EDDIE IS THE BOMB!!!

by wheaton520

Eddie is seriously the best! I had my windows tinted with ceramic plus tint and LOVE it! My black leather seats are no longer scorching hot. Plus, the interior of the car stays remarkably cooler. Eddie was also so kind as to figure out how to successfully pair my phone with the 2008 BMW 535I bluetooth. BMW service advisors couldn't even figure it out and told me my phone was just not BMW compatible.

Pros: Eddie

Cons: Nothing

Quality Work by Professionals

by cr8wealth

The light for the radio in my car was out for several months because the dealer said it would cost $300 to replace (labor of course!!). Eddie/Startronics replace the bulb in about three minutes for just the cost of the bulb. Based on that experience, I had Eddie replace my damaged center piece, tint my windows and update several items in my car. I highly recommend Startronics, they do quality work and pay attention to details.

Pros: Very knowledgable about product and process

Cons: Nothing jumps out at me

Great customer service!

by ychoi12

I've wanted to tint my car windows since I got my car years back and I called Startronics because of the reviews on Citysearch. I'm so glad I did! Eddie was great to work with! I dropped my car off at lunch and picked it up after work and everything has been peachy since! Working with Eddie and Startronics was so easy that I highly recommend going there to anyone. And when I'm ready to add electronics to my car or fix my scratches and dings, I'm definitely going to go back there.

Pros: Quick and easy! High quality work!

Cons: None that I can see.

If it can be Done, they can DO IT!

by barkbusterjohn

What I loved about walking into this place was Eddie. He stopped everything and answered way too many of my questions even though everytime I go in this place he is busy busy busy. I love doing business with him. Without asking he fixed a couple of small dents in two of my quarter panels. He is not the cheapest in town but far from the most expensive. I Highly recommend this shop.

A car guy I actually trust!

by ithakadrew

I have a slight problem: I love cars, but know nothing about how they work or how to repair them. Hence, if I need a repair or want to customize my car, install a stereo--or basically do anything other then put in gas, I'm at the mercy of whoever is doing the servicing.

Let's just say that Eddie has earned my trust! The guy has proven to me that he is 100% honest and reliable. Eddie's also really friendly--and treats you as he would a friend. He's a total car junky and can do just about anything you dream up. If you care about what you drive then Startronics is definitely worth paying a visit.

Quick service

Good place for window tinting.

by 07darkslate

I found Startronics on City Search and read all the reviews. So I figured I'll give it a try even though I'm close to an hour away. The place is small but dont judge a book by it's cover. I was helped right away. Good service, fast service, and good price. I got my windows tinted. The best thing about this place besides the great service and price is that the job is warraty for life! Parts and Labor! I would say it's worth the trip if you dont live in the area like me. I will go back for more stuffs. Sam, the stuntman.

Best car stereo installers in LA

by tmoffett

After searching all over LA for a reputable car stereo installer to install an ipod connected stereo for my vintage Mercedes, I finally made the decision to go with Startronics. I had spoken with Eddie who was actually very friendly on the phone (you'd be surprised how rude some of these people are at the other places I called). He had assured me that they are very meticulous and guaranteed their work. He gave me a great price quote and was very clear on what it was they would do. After a days worth of work on my car I returned to pick up and was very happy with the results. The install was very clean and they where very careful with the fragile wood dash.

Thanks to the guys at Startronics for your great work. I'll be sending all my friends there for sure. Highly recommended.

Best car audio and customization service in LA!

by philgloss

Eddie, who owns Startronics is THE guy for car audio. He lives and breathes cars. He's done a couple small jobs, for me, but while I was in his shop he showed me some of the cars he worked on. The sound was phenomenal! He also showed me electronics work he has done on some of his customer's cars. His attention to detail is great. I would highly recommend Startronics to anyone who loves their car environment and wants expertise and great service. I also found that Eddie's prices are extremely reasonable.

Pros: great service; highly knowledgable; attention to detail

Cons: none that I noticed

Nice Caring Staff

by organizingla

I have recommened Startronics to friends and clients over the past year. They've done a terrific job installing and fixing a major issue with my car sound system and installed an incredible speaker set much better than the one I had before. They even handled a head to toe detail of my 10 year old Jeep and I have fallen in love with the car again. Startronics has the unusual ability to get you jazzed about the power of car accessories, I am hooked. Thanks!

Pros: Parking behind the store, on busy Wilshire Blvd. The service is casual and friendly.

Big enough to help you, small enough to really know you.

by dougthephoneguy

Eddie is a one of a kind. His personal touch service has you feel like you walked into your buddies garage, you know the one, the guy with every tool on the planet. He can pimp your ride as well as anyone can. Eddie stays on top of the marketplace by carrying only state of the art products like Ceramic window tint that won't effect your embedded radio antenna. Take not all you MBZ owners, your back window has the antenna and metalic tint will mess you up. So go get your Brembo'd, Tinted, GPS'd and Cell'd up at Startronics. Your wallet will love you!

Pros: great service, great work quality, great selection

Cons: doesn't look like it is a good as it is.

Lived up to & exceeded what I'd read about the place

by clamp007

I went in to browse their speakers, having read about Eddie online. He was very helpful & told me what I could for what price & what the quality level would be. I said ok, let's go ahead, so when's good? He said right now. Wow! He pointed me to some places & coffee shops to go hang out & to return in an hour. I came back & it sounded amazing. He said if anything went wrong, he's replace it, or fix the problem. I really really am impressed & I don't stumble too often across such honesty & people of their word like this. Thanks again. Ian

You have to go..

by lapicabonita

Eddie you are the best. I went to star tronics last week, and Eddie installed my ipod in my new car. It looks, sounds and feels amazing, and the best part of all was the service, everybody was very attentive and nice I didn't feel like I usually feel when I have to wait for my car in a shop (I just want to run away!#). I couldn't believe how fast it was ready!!!. Let's give this guy a round of applause, he deserves it....This is the first review I've ever written in my whole life... Eric, you will be in business forever!

Pros: fast, best service

Cons: I wish I had more cars

Great service at reasonable prices!

by theace2

I took my lease to Startronics for a quick detail before turning it back in to the dealership. The service was excellent, the car looked amazing, and the price was really reasonable. They even had to special-order some supplies to deal with some extra tough stains (which somehow they were able to get out) and didn't charge me extra for the extra work. I highly recommend calling Eddie for any car-related needs!
