5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

I recently had my windows tinted here, and I have to say, they did an excellent job. There were no bubbles, cuts, marks, or other distortions, and they cleaned the windows thoroughly before they applied the tint. The owner, Eddie, was very helpful and friendly. I was referred to STARTRONICS by my father, and Eddie remembered him by name. The service was quick, and they were done within the time they quoted me. The prices weren’t the cheapest, but with window tint, the saying is very true that you get what you pay for. I would highly recommend STARTRONICS to anyone looking to have their windows tinted.

Pros: product, service

I actually ran into their workshop by pure randomness with a very odd request. The manager is very kind and has a great "I can do it "attitude. They fixed my problem even though it was a bit unrelated to their business. That's how good they are. Price might not be the cheapest around, but they surely work fast and with quality .

I went to Startronics to repair my car stereo and was extremely happy with the service I received and the result! They were so nice, the service was fast, friendly and well done! I went back a second time to get new speakers and again was extremely pleased! They were out of the speakers I wanted (the cheepest ones, cause I'm broke)...so they gave me much better ones for the same price! My system sounds amazing! Thanks Eddy!

Worst stereo experience i have ever had. They specialize in bate and switch. Spend the money for a better install. They are quick to help you install, but when they screw up your radio, they are no where to be found. Absolute zero for anything other than the prices on stereos.

The person behind this review is a local company owner looking to defame other companies in their benefit. These statements are untrue and are only placed in our review to slander the company. A criminal report has been filed against the perpetrator with the Santa Monica Police Department recently. Upon local law enforcing aid, a federal investigation has also been opened to incur federal "Slander" charges by the FBI. We urge the author of this comment to contact Startronics so that further judicial actions will not need to be taken. The effort it takes to defame the name of a competitor's company is not worth the eternal criminal record this author is facing. Law enforcement has narrowed their investigation onto a number of individuals. Startronics is currently awaiting the results of a reverse IP address search which will aid in pinpointing the perpetrator. The author of the comment will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. I Promise. Thank you for your time and concern.

I normally don't write reviews, specially when I have to write a review from my iPhone it takes for ever, however after reading some of the comments left below and my experienced with these guys it is very obvious it was written by a competitor, posing as a girl, Eddie does not smoke and I must say he is a cool cat. It is very simple go visit other stereo shops and then go to Startronics you will see the difference. In my opinion it is very refreshing when someone speaks English and have a personality. I dealt with all the "other" places in Santa Monica and have never been as satisfied with them as I have with Startronics. They are simply the best. Trust me... Great Service and Quality product it is very hard to find. I can honestly say, that these guys are pretty good. Excellent service, product and knowledge. Have them show you some of the work they have done. They have a great portfolio with work they have done thru the years I hope they show my car the black Toyota Preius with the cool tint. ,

Pros: You Can Trust These Guys, Excellent Tint job & costumer service.

I had an XM radio installed in my car and my daughter's car, and Eddie was very helpful in determining which product to use and helped me get the rebates that were offered and took his time helping me determine where to install the transmitters, and even though I chose a very difficult locations for the transmitters, they was installed very professionally and carefully. The cars were returned promptly and in excellent condition. The service was courteous and professional. I would confidently recommend Eddie and Startronics to anyone looking for quality service and products. You won't find anyone better on the Westside. Another company scratched my dashboard installing some hands free devices, and the differences in quality and service are immeasurable.

Pros: Fast, professional service and excellent products

It's clear that Eddie and Startronics know the auto business and especially tinting windows. He did a great job. He tinted my BMW 335i sedan and it looks much slicker and sportier than before. The job was quick and done the same day-I picked up my car just over an hour later. I'm very happy with the window treatment-it looks like it came with the car straight from the factory. I'm so happy that I've decided to return to have him install my XM radio! This place is highly recommended!

Pros: thumbs up

Cons: none

I went to get my windows tinted and tail lights smoked in my BMW by Eddie two days ago. The car looks awsome. You can tell that the job was done with quality. I recommend anyone checkout Startronics to get their car tinted. It's inexpensive and quick. A+ job!

Pros: Fast Service and Knowledgeable Staff

What happens when you mix an Italian, Mexican, Indian and an American? You get STARTRONICS!!! The Startronics staff are the most integral and helpful people in the buisness. It's extreamly difficult to find a legitimate automotive shop anywhere you go. Once I walked into the shop, I felt as though I were among friends. I visited Eddie to have a car alarm system installed. They did such a fast and quality-oriented job, I came back for more. I recently had a complete entertainment system installed which included a 7" TV mounted in the dash, new speakers all around, great looking amplifiers and a custom mounted subwoofer enclosure in the trunk. I have to say, I was a little skeptical at first to have a sound system of this magnitude installed. But, my skeptisism was notheless useless. The entire system had more sound quality than an movie theater! Not only is their service beyond average, the quality of the installations are phenomenal! The custom mounted subwoofers and amplifiers in the trunk look as though they were ment to be there. Simply amazing. I highly recommend Startronics to anyone. Not only are they involved in car sound systems, they tint car windows, install GPS systems, iPods, Bluetooth, and much more. I was recently informed by Eddie that they perform full car detailing (Detail? I asked the same thing. Detailing a car is a full paint restoration upon a thorough cleaning of the interior.). Check this shop out. It will be well worth your time and money to check out Eddie's shop before you go anywhere else.

Pros: Sound System, Friendly Staff and PRICE!
