STARTRONICS

I went to Eddie for my navigation to be updated on my Pioneer. He went through and fixed it up really quick but at the same time notice I had a scratch and my bumper had been detached in the wheel well. In the same visit, he fixed my bumper within 10 minutes and next time I will be getting my scratch fixed and also my windshield tinted. I didn't know that tinting could keep my car cooler when its just sitting outside. Come to Eddie with any questions, this man knows his products and cars. Pros: Thorough, Service with a smile more

Eddie definitely knows his stuff and was really polite and helpful when I had a lot of questions (I don't know much about car electronics). If you go in I would definitely ask for Eddie. He will take good care of you! Pros: nice owner who knows his stuff more

The best place in town to get your car pampered or to "PIMP Your Ride". They make you look and feel like a Million Dollars but it won't cost you that. This is the only place you want to go. Pros: Friendly Helpful Professional more

I came into Startronics by chance for Tints and a Wheel Repair. Eddie (the owner) was very personable and we spoke about how each type of tint works for your car. He was very enthusiastic about how good of a job he will do and he came through. He is an honest guy which is rare to come across in this business. I showed him my scratched rim and he didnt say he can fix it just to get another sale he did some research and is still checking to see if it is possible to fix, if he feels he cant do it or at least cant do it right he wont do it, he wont hustle you! I respect that a lot and was very happy with my tints. I hope he can do the wheel to because I know he will treat it with LOVE! Great place go there! Pros: They can do almost anything you need for your car Cons: Expensive, but good work charges more more

Took in my new 2010 Prius - got tinted windows, and Eddie spent time discussing levels of tint and UV protection, and what would work best for me. I chose "light" tint, with high quality UV protection and am extremely happy. And the work is guaranteed - no question. Also had the carnuba wax and detailing done -- the paint finish looks gorgeous and is smooth as glass. Awesome work all around, and Eddie is fun to work with. Pros: Personable, knowledgeable owner and excellent service Cons: Not inexpensive, but you get what you pay for more

I went here in June to tint my brand new 2009 Audi A4 all around. Being from New Hampshire I didn't have much experience with tinting shops but Startronics was such a positive and high-quality service that I had to go back again after totaling my car in August. Great looking tints all around, no bubbles, fast service under 3 hours easily. Cost is pretty decent for a West LA shop and the owner is honest up front stating his satisfaction guarantee. No brainer! Pros: Reputable Owner, Fast and High-Quality Auto Tinting Cons: None more

Needed my windows tinted for my 2006 Z06 Vette. Called around and got quotes from various tinters and STARTONICS was one of the best deals, but it was Eddie's professionalism was what sold me in the end. I am a 20 year military officer and attention to detail is ingrained into my psyche. A consummate “do it yourselfer” I HATE when incompetent people work on my stuff, whether it be a car, my house, or anything else. Eddie’s workers were fast, professional and the vette look outstanding. Brazo Zulu to STARTONICS! I will definitely look to them to do a stereo upgrade when I return from deployment next year, because I KNOW it will be done right...THE FIRST TIME! Pros: Professional, Meticulous Work, Friendly, Courteous, Cons: Didn't find STARTRONICS sooner for my other cars. more

The owner Eddie was very helpful first over the phone and then in the actual shop. I went in to get my windows tinted and when I came back he had actually used the upgraded material at no extra cost due to a lower amount of the standard tint. I will be sure to come back to him about a new exhaust and sound system for my car. Pros: personalized and meticulous service. Cons: can take longer to ensure a good job. more

I liked the owner Eddie very much. He seemed totally trust worthy and the work he did is exemplary. I'm very glad I took his advice. I would recommend Startronics very highly. more

I took a chance and went to this place, and I'm glad I did. The owner Eddie was cordial, the work on the car superb. I recommend getting your car done, whatever it is. Whether it's a Honda Civic like mine up to a Lambourghini, you'll see how a car should really look, inside and out. Smooth as a babies...well, you get the point. I got mine detailed. Eddie also offers window tinting. The other cars in the parking lot looked great! I'll eventually go back to get the tint. Highly recommended. Pros: This place pampers your car. more

Tinted my windows a week or so ago and did a fabulous job, I love it and my car looks great! I walked in without an appointment and still got things done pretty quickly. Gonna get my stero there soon. Pros: loved the work more

This auto Stereo shop provides excellent service, and does so with a mind to educating the customer. When I've brought my BMW, I've been told what's needed now and what I can do now or wait for. They fixed my radio, replaced my speakers and installed a bluetooth car kit, they showed me the old parts and didn't try to sell what I didn't need, but to inform me. I'm coming back for more with family and friends, that is for sure. There's a strong feeling of trust here. They go out of their way to make sure the customer is satisfied and at a fair price. I don't write reviews, in fact this is my third review ever. It took a long time to figured it out however these guys are great. Pros: There's a strong feeling of trust here. Cons: none that I can think more

Eddie, delivers top notch work all the time every time and stands behind what he does. If you have a nice car and want the piece of mind of it being done right the first time, go to Startronics in Santa Monica. One stop shop, Hands down. Pros: 100% work guaranteed, that is a piece of mind. Cons: Not knowing these guys a few Months ago, so it cost me double to fix someone elses F&*% U# more

I went in to buy an amp kit to do my own install. Eddie complimented me for attempting to try on my own and explained what I needed to do and was ultra helpful. I made a slight mistake, and ended up taking my 1996 Jeep Cherokee back to the store the next day. Eddie accommodated my busy schedule, and did a job that was worth every penny. I looked over his work and everything is hidden, zip tied together, neatly cut, appropriately fitted and cleaned up. Thanks, Eddie! I'll be back for a tint job soon as the previous reviews rate you the best! Eddie hooks you up! Pros: Fast, clean, ultra professional Cons: price is worth the quality! NO CONS more

I had been looking to get my car windows tinted for several months, which led to the inevitability of me checking out every car on the road and judging whether or not I liked the work that was done. Hesitant to commit since so many cars had bubbled, purpled or pealing tint, I called Eddie. Not only did he assure me that that would not happen with his work, he also promised me a lifetime guarantee on the tint in the fluke chance it would. I decided to go for it and could not be happier with the outcome. No bubbles, no seams, perfect fit on all the windows. In a heartbeat I would go back to Eddie. He was a pleasure to work with, fast, courteous and extremely informative. He also showed me some of the other work he was doing, and from what I saw, I head back to him for detailing and audio work. On a technical note, I would recommend the ceramic plus tint, everything he said about it is true and I noticed the internal temp in my car drop from the first day. Thanks again, I absolutely love it! Pros: Friendly, Fast, Informative more

I myself, am a very detailed oriented jet pilot who likes things done right! Well, I can say it was a pleasure working with Eddie over at startronics. I had my G35 coupe in for a window tint and car detail. . Even thought he might do ferrari's and lambo's he made me feel like my car was just as equal. Prices seem high in comparison with some other places, but after already going through a tint job at Al and Eds as well as a dealer one, i was willing to give it a try. WOW what a difference. If you research the quality of tint product he uses vs any other place, know wonder the price is a little higher, BUT ITS WORTH IT and if there is ever a problem with it, go back and he'll make it right. As for the Auto detail. I take pride in my car and have been the only one to ever wash and wax it, but over time little imperfections happen that only a professional can fix. . The final result was extremely impressive! Both the exterior and interior were back to new ( and I'm not talking that cheap shiny look products that give cars a false and tacky look) I'm talking new car smell along with leather texture and surface being cleaned and conditioned multiple times and even leaving spare change and a 20$ bill one of the workers found under the seat in my glovebox. (hard to find honest workers like that anymore). Everything from the vents to my custom audio system screens were taken special care of and cleaned to a degree that is up to my standards. The exterior was almsost flawless and all the imperfections and swirlmarks from basic day by day use were gone and through a multiple step paint restoration process from clay bar, plolish, wax, sealants..etc and more the pearl effect in the paint stood out more than when it was new and the gloss was amazing! Even my wheels which i personaly spend 30 min on each time i wash my car were well taken care of :) The engine bay was also detailed to the point where it could be a show car. Pros: Great service, spends the extra time to do it right more

I'm a man simple man with lots of toys and picky when it comes to some one working on my cars or house and yes they pass the test and more. Startronics tinted my cars and home, I strongly recomend these guys. I endorse Startronics, please e-mail me for pictures, and I will go thru the troubles to reply with pictures of before and after. Yes it is my way to pay back these guys for their great costumer service and top of the line product. Happy Costumer, Mark Pros: Graet Tinting! more

talk is cheap, took my car and girlfriend's car for glass tinting. I'm very happy with results great film, excellent job, very knowable people. I called a few places in Los Angeles, and by far this store was the most costumer service oriented. I strongly recommend these guys. I endorse this shop I work at Edmund's in Santa Monica and I will write a blog on Startronics and show work done. How can you go wrong when they offer 100% money back guaranteed if you are not happy with results? That's what I'm talking about.... Pros: ALL WORK 100% GUARANTEED OR YOUR MONEY BACK I LIKE THAT. Cons: none that I can think more

Hers it goes, After been cheap yes just cheap and ignorant took my Mercedes to a different tint shop in Santa Monica, I went there mainly because of the price. They damaged my door panels got my interior dirty, lots of bubbles and the worse attitude when I mentioned to the grumpy owner (I guess he only talks like that to woman if I was a man he would not take me for a dumb blond). After waiting for a few weeks and bubbles and dirt not going away I decided to go to Startronics, they showed me the difference. I had to re do my glass tinting with ceramic film, and cleaned what the other guys did on my tan interior. Moral of the story YOU GET WHAT YOU PAID FOR I have no one to blame but myself for been cheap. Pros: great costumer service Cons: small parking more
