My three-year-old LG flatscreen TV suddenly would not turn on no matter what I tried, although the…read morered light was on and steady indicating it was getting power. I Googled local TV repair, and found Sam's. He guessed over the phone that it was a mainboard problem and would be about $140 to fix, to which he would apply the $40 diagnostic fee. I was able to take my TV in to him because it's only about 36". Sam called me later that day and said the TV was working fine and he could not replicate the problem. He kept it overnight to make sure, called LG (they said a connector was likely loose) and then went ahead and replaced the connector just in case. When I came to pick my TV up he was only going to charge me the $40 diagnostic fee. I asked how much the connector was and insisted on paying him the $20 for the part. He tried to refuse. My son said, "Seriously, just take it, dude, she gets what she wants." LOL. When have you EVER had to insist a repairman take payment for a part he installed?? I mean, he opened up my TV, tested the components, and replaced a part that was likely the problem! This guy is so honest. MY TV is now working perfectly. I highly recommend Sam's.

I sent them my 1976 Harman-Kardon 630 stereo receiver on December 28, 2018 for repair service so I could give the unit to my son for his 50th birthday. I approved the estimate and repair was done, but the unit failed during final testing and couldn't be restored to proper operation. Ordinary service centers would probably refund my original shipping and estimate costs and call it a day. But not Audiosonic Service! They offered me a replacement unit (in this case an upgrade Harman-Kardon 730), fully restored at THEIR expense! It took a lot of time and effort on their part to accomplish this, I received the 730 on August 10, 2019, but it has been worth the wait. Thank you so much, Evan and Mark!

I have been going to Starr for my service for about 18 months now. I used to dread taking cars in…read moreto get worked on but not since I started coming here. I make the drive from out in the suburbs and arrange rides to and from the shop when I need things done because the service and honesty is worth every bit of logistical hastle. I won't take my car anywhere else for repairs. Recently, I had an oil change done at another shop for convenience. They informed me that two of the CV boots had "blown out" and needed to be replaced. I scheduled a drop off to Starr, and sure enough the other shop was lying. Nothing wrong with the boots. The boots are $150 and surely even with Starr's reasonable labor prices I'd have been looking at least $200-250 in total to replace them. This shop is friendly, quick, and most of all honest. Their work is excellent, and they never recommend anything to be done if it doesn't need fixing. If it ain't broken, don't fix it.... and they don't! They won't try to get you to do things early, they won't hoodwink you, but they WILL meet you with a smile and an accurate timeline of when your car will be fixed and at least for me, the estimates have always ended up being accurate or the actual work being less. This shop is worth every bit of the drive to get your work done. I'll never go anywhere else.

I brought my 2008 Jeep Wrangler to Starr Auto because it wouldn't start unless I shifted between…read morePark and Neutral several times. I explained that I believed the issue was caused by the neutral safety switch, which is a known and common issue for this model. Instead of inspecting that part, the shop replaced my starter and battery terminal posts, charging me $966. The problem was never fixed -- the Jeep still has the exact same starting issue. When I returned, Starr Auto admitted it might actually be the neutral safety switch and said they could repair it for another $200. That clearly shows the first repair was misdiagnosed and unnecessary. I'm a disabled veteran with VA disabled license plates, and I rely on my vehicle for daily mobility. I trusted this shop to treat me fairly, but instead I feel taken advantage of and disappointed by their lack of professionalism and integrity. I've since filed a credit card dispute for the $966 charge and would strongly caution other customers -- especially veterans -- to avoid this business.

He recently did a job on a boat he clearly wasn't terribly interested in. He didn't put the boat back together, screws out, put a huge scratch in a custom paint job, left stuff everywhere, made zero effort to clean up. And worst of all didn't latch hatches he opened. It poured rain and flooded the interior of the boat. Caused 10 grand in damage at least, didn't even have the courtesy or apologizing.
