Star Auto Glass

Good and fast service plus my 15 dollars discount reliable and good prices the guy is friendly and people that are doing bad reviews is because their are expecting 5 star quality service but they are not paying the 5 star cost so i think it was saving money by doing this and i might come back again

This place was the only tint shop in my area. He quoted me 160 $. By the time i left i played 220. At night time it looked decent. The next day. There are all kinds of air bubbles. There are parts on the back window that don’t even have the tint touching the glass. To make things even better. They burned a hole in my convertible fabric. Causing rain water to potentially come in. I read other similar reviews and i guess i just had to learn for myself to never go back here. Spend the money and go
somewhere better than this dump. Sloppy office area. Files and messy accounting all over the customer desk. This place gets 2 Stars just because the owner made me laugh a couple times probably because he burned the hole in the roof.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS!
I normally do not leave reviews, but this business left such a bad taste in my mouth that I feel the need to leave one.
I went in Friday afternoon to have my windshield replaced. When it was done, they drove my car to the side door to showcase what they had done. I saw a big gap on top of the windshield, but since I was in a hurry, I figured that I’ll take care of it later.
The next day, my dad, who is a mechanic in USPS, decided to pour water on my windshield since we were concerned about the gap. And yup, you guessed it! There’s a leak from the top portion of the windshield. We drove my car back to the shop and after an HOUR of trying to convince them to fix my car, they finally gave in. SUCH A PAIN.
They took roughly 2.5 hrs this time to adjust my windshield. Given that they had more time this time to correct their mistake, you would assume that they’d get it right the second time. BIG MISTAKE. It is now leaking from the TOP portion of my windshield, as well as the SIDE walls. What a waste of time and money.

My Audi’s back quarter window got broken into in San Francisco and needed a replacement. Called several shops in SF and the Peninsula for quotes as I live in SF. All were $ 280 or more!!!
I work in Hayward so I Unilocaled several shops in the east bay. By far, this was the cheapest and best customer service, over the phone. Fred was very helpful and even offered to have me bring my car in so they could vacuum the cracked glass and place a temporary cover while we wait for the new window in order, which took about a day.
Once the window came in the following day, Fred called me to bring in my car so they could replace it. I was greeted professionally by everyone in the store and it only took less than 15 minutes for them to replace the window. What a service! I hope not to come back again for a cracked auto glass, but if I do, I’ll only need to call one shop! Thanks Fred and crew!

This place is a joke. Dont come here. Gave me a window that has marks on it that won’t come off. They dont wanna change it or give me my money back. People are some shitt here. It took them 2 hours to put one window in on a Toyota Camry. A little update — I had to take my car back 3 different times. Three days I had to come back. Water started to go inside my car. Worst experience in my life. DONT COME HERE ! DONT COME HERE ! Shitty ass work done here. Its cheap here but so is there work. PAY FOR IT ONCE BY SOMEONE THAT KNOWS WHAT THEY ARE DOING ! LIKE I SAID DONT COME HERE !! Pay the extra 20 $ and get it done by a real business. I hope you guys dont go through what I did these last 3 days with this business. Dont wast your time here!!! &&& just to put it out there watch what they do. My radio got stolen well they had my car. Bullshitt place

Always get my cars tinted here, tints last long time great quality, i was offered a warranty to replace tint if it bubbles, i never had to use warranty. overall great staff very friendly, great customer service, very reasonable pricing and and best quality service. highly recommended

I came here on 6÷2÷15. This place is awesome the quote Fred gave me for a new window (the factory window) was $ 100 or so cheaper than his competitors and he had my window replaced in less than thirty minutes. He is a total sweetheart and was very patient with me as I it took me a few weeks longer than I had anticipated to come in to get my window replaced. I highly recommend this place for those looking to get quality window repair at a budget friendly price. I will definitely come here again should I need another window replaced. Use your debit card or pay cash. Don’t use your credit card because there is an eight percent charge taken away from any service provided by Fred to the company providing the credit card/​debit machine that’s not cool in these hard economic times. Fred does excellent work and deserves every dollar.

Super fast and friendly service. I’m hoping I don’t get another chip on my windshield, but if I do, I will come back here. I was there only 20 minutes, spent less $ than I expected to, and the man there was very nice. A very good experience.

OEM glass at the lowest quote I got and done the same day within an hour!!! What more can you ask for?!!

THIS PLACE IS HORRIBLE! STAY AWAY FROM IT! My Fiancé bought a brand new 2015 Accord Hybrid (The most expensive purchase of our lives btw) and we were looking for a shop to put tint on the back windows (Rear Doors and Rear Window) and this was the only place that we found open late enough for me to take it after work. We bought the car BRAND NEW on a Tuesday and Friday I brought it in to get the tint applied… I got it in a 4pm after agreeing to pay $ 285 to have it tinted and waited until 7pm and picked it up… by 7pm it was a little dark so i thought it looked good… BOY WAS I WRONG!!! My fiancé drove to work the next morning and because it was then daylight she called me saying the tiny looked HORRIBLE and that he burnt a piece of molding on the car! My fiancé came home with the car after work and it was HORRIBLE! Bubbles everywhere… lines all over the place… and the worst part being the burn (YES PEOPLE… A BURN!)…ill post a picture of it so you can see what he did to a 3 day old car! Obviously the guy was closed on Sunday so on Monday I had to call into work… take the car in and let this guy know he did a horrible job and even destroyed a small piece on the car! (Small or not its a BRAND NEW car) So i walk in the shop and tell him he needs to come speak with me… i bring him out to the car and start showing him the issues and then show him the burn… he says to not worry about the burn and that he’ll fix it! And i tell him that i want my money back and that he’ll never touch my car again! He then says dont worry keep the tint and ill give you $ 200 back… HELL NO… it looks horrible!!! Then he offers $ 250 and to fix the moulding… NO! YOURE NOT TOUCHING MY CAR EVER!!! He then says ok ok… u keep the tint and heres your $ 295 and takes me into the office to get it… I now have to pay to get the horrible tint removed… The rubber piece fixed… and new tint to be applied CORRECTLY! So I now will be paying $ 250 for the tint to be removed and $ 250 for new tint to be applied correctly down the street… look elsewhere for your tinting needs… this was a NIGHTMARE… please just stay away from this business!

Horrible service. I got my front 2 windows tinted and there was a hair left in the middle of the window, bubbles «that was supposed to go away in 3 weeks», and they cut the window seal on my drivers side in the process. Plus there’s no reasoning with the owner. Didn’t raise my voice once any of the 3 times I went to get the problems corrected but I can’t say the same for him. Stay away from this place. Save your money and a headache.

Got a window repaired here, decent price. The owner and his wife seem super nice and ready to help a needy customer. We were told many time to review on Unilocal,which isn’t a bad thing, but i don’t really like being told to, i do it for the most part anyways. The husband and wife both have heavy accents, but they are so kind, its really nice. when they replaced the window, the guy in the shop broke my driverside door lock! but before we left the parking lot we checked and went back to have them repair. and they did, although when the owner asked the worker if he found the problem he laughed, that made me feel like it was something simple and he wasn’t paying attention, he was really slow and seemed unconcerned that my door lock was broken. based on that guy alone i would have reviewed badly, but like i said the owner and his wife are very kind and helpful. Worth going here. Just make sure you watch through the open side shop door, don’t have to watch the owner, hes a good man and not going to cheat you.

I’m a little taken aback from all of these negative reviews. My review is based on my one-​time visit and the circumstances surrounding my visit. I came across this business while searching nearby auto-​glass repair shops after a horrendous morning. My car was broken into, and the scumbag burglar nearly ripped out my dashboard and stole my stereo and iPod. This happened in Oakland and my day was completely botched. The imbecile shattered my passenger side window, and ruined my wiring system, so none of my signals worked.
I called this place and he gave me a really reasonable rate, so I gave it a go. He asked what happened to my window over the phone and when I told him, he sounded pretty sympathetic and he told me to come on by. As crabby as my mood was, I had to get it fixed right away. As I entered, I was greeted with a smile and an upbeat welcoming. I was shocked since I was expecting a dry entrance, as I experienced with a lot of auto repair shops. I think he was the owner, Fred, and he made me feel at ease after my mishap. During my wait, I went to the phở shop next door and another shop to kill time.
The only thing that I didn’t expect was him adding on the «broken brackets» and charging my an additional $ 20 to my initial quote. It was OK though, since I was just glad that my window was being replaced. I had hanging fabric on my door panel, which he even sealed for me. One thing that made my visit even humorous was that he tried to sell me used stereos to replace my broken one, but I think he was just trying to be helpful.
After I paid for my invoice, he asked me to write a «good Unilocal review,» which led me to this. Overall, it was a pleasant visit for me, despite the location and the events leading to my drop-​in.

They did a really good job and their customer service is really good. Their price is really reasonable and as soon as I came they greet me and took care of me right away. I recommend all of my friends.

Please STAY AWAY from this place. They are a scamming no good company that will not honor what they say over the phone.
The TLDR version of my review:
I was promised a different brand tint and they installed the cheap brand. It took 6hours to finish the tint job and they only gave me a 1 year warranty.
Full length review:
I was shopping around for auto tint and Fred had the cheapest price around and were available right away. I was quoted $ 180 for the entire car which is the front and rear windows on my new dodge dart 2014 sxt sedan. When I arrived to the shop he said that it really costs $ 280 for his Suntek branded tint. He then goes on to tell me that the other tint he has available is $ 150 total but it will bubble and fade and purple in less than a year.
When I was about to leave because the price was ridiculous for tint, he caved in and said he’ll install the SunTek tint for me for $ 180 with 35% in the front and 5% in the back. He said he’ll call me when the tint is ready in about 4 hours.
5 hours passed by and he didn’t call me so I had to call him. He answered saying the car was ready without even apologizing that he didn’t call me back when he finished. When I arrived, I noticed right away that the front tint was 50% visibility which means it looks like there is NO TINT at all in the front and I specifically said I wanted 35% visibility. He argued with me that this is what I asked for and after I threatened to call the police was when he finally responded to fixing his mistake.
Note that the cheap no brand tint only comes in both 5% and 50% tint which is what is installed on my car.
He goes on to tell me that he’ll finish working on all the other cars in the garage until he is ready to work on mine which will take another 3 hours. At this point I was done with Fred’s shenanigans and argued that I was here at 9:30 and my car should be done first before all these other customers.
In the end I waited and watched them install the tint IN THE SUN. They didn’t even pull the garage cars out to install my tint. I am sure they installed the exact same tint all over again and switched the box to to Suntek while I wasn’t paying attention because the tint didn’t get any darker.
I was done wasting half of my day here so when he told me there was no warranty and refused to give me the Suntek warranty registration card because «We only have 1 piece of paper and it’s only a sample».
Please please please STAY AWAY FROM FRED and Star Auto Glass. Do not give them the business they do not deserve with their scamming ways. All these random 5 star ratings must be his friends and family who have Unilocal accounts.

Frank is a life-​saver. My poor cars got a broken window & windshield, and he had the proper pieces in stock to fix it with no appointment needed. He’s competent and experienced and even helped me go through my insurance to see if they would cover the repair for me. He was very patient explaining everything to me, and even took me to the back to see the two kinds of glass I could choose from. He replaced the window & windshield and vacuumed out the broken glass from the inside of my car in less then an hour.

THIS PLACE SHOULD NOT EVEN BE ONE STAR. THEY ARE A VERY SHADY SHOP!!! I took my Chevy HHR to have my windshield replaced because it was cracked. I should have read the reviews before I went. My bad I guess. Anyway on with my story. I picked up my car and the car had no seal around the window and my rearview mirror was crooked. That’s just to start off with. After going back and forth about the price witch he changed without telling me. $ 100.00 more for FACTORY glass. Ok so now I have my car and I am on my way home and all I hear is wind noise. So I call them when I get home and the jack off that owned the shop said that was normal. I called around ITS NOT!!! And to think it don’t stop there. I wake up the next morning to find that my windshield has a crack from the top and I had water in my car from the rain the night before. So now I am livid. I go back there and all that crook could say is no warranty!!! So I just left I will handle it other ways. lol. And just as a side note DONT GET YOUR WINDOWS TINTED HERE!!! I just called to get a price just to compare to other shops. (I WOULD NEVER TAKE MY CAR BACK I WAS JUST CURIOUS) and I had already called about 10 other shops. When I called here and asked about the brand the jack off said «OH YOU REALLY NEED TO KNOW THAT?» Then I said you don’t know the brand of your window film? He said if I want to know the brand that I would have to come in. I think its because HE DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO READ THE BOX!!! IF ANYBODY READS THIS PGO TO AUTOHAUS AUTOMOTIVE ACROSS THE STREET. THEY ARE REAL GOOD AND HAVE BEEN THERE FOR 40 YEARS. THEY TOOK CARE OF ME.

I called for an estimate on windshield replacement. The person who answered the phone asked all the proper questions, year, make, model. He quoted me $ 250,we agreed I would bring in the car. When I went inside, the same guy told me the cost would be $ 750.I angrily left. He calls me approx.1hr. lator and gives me some B.S.about the windshield costing $ 300 but he will install it for the $ 250 that we originally agreed on. I would not go back to this business if it was free. What a waste of time. This guy should not be in business. I do hope people read this and heed my warning «Do not patronize this business»

Went to auto haus across the street and they quoted me 1500 to do my sunroof. so I pass this place by mistake and luckily he had the part and did my sunroof glass roof top for only 495.00 did an excellent job I saved lots of money and would go there again.

The owner is a psychopath. End of story.
Brought my new car here with my friend and was quoted $ 280 to get all of my windows tinted. We said we’d think about it and left. We went to a place down the street and they quoted us $ 200. The owner calls a couple hours later and asks where we are… we say we found another place could do it for $ 200 so we were going to take it there. He said he would do it for $ 180.
We take the car back and he says that they close in an hour and a half, so to come back then. While we are driving back to pick up the car, he calls and says the car is ready so to come pick it up. When we arrive, he takes us into the garage and says that, because the sun is going down, they couldn’t do the front windows. So, they only did the back windows and rear windshield. Odd.
This was on a Saturday. He says to bring it back on Monday and he will do the rest of the windows — but I was visiting so I told him I wouldn’t be there on Monday. My friend offers him $ 100 for the work he did, at which point he starts yelling «NO, NO, NO» at us, and saying that the back windows are $ 140. My friend said that $ 120 seemed fair, given that theres no way I could get the front windows done for $ 40.
The owner proceeded to throw the money at us, yelling «You wanna steal from me? Just take it for free! Just go!» My friend got in the car and started to pull out of the garage. As this is happening, the owner runs over to the garage door and starts to close it on my car. My friend clears the door and the owner runs out and starts banging on the hood of the car. My friend throws $ 120 out the window and speeds off. I run to my car and get in and lock the door. The owner runs over and starts trying to open the door. Luckily I was able to drive away without being hurt — but, one of the scariest experiences of my life!
