Redline Automotive Electronics

My wife had a remote car starter put in. It worked for a while and then her car would start in the middle of the night, EVERY SINGLE NIGHT. Redline has TERRIBLE service and refused to fix it. STAY AWAY!!!

Ok, I read the reviews here and I’m not sure what everyone is talking about. I spoke to Ray last Monday, he ordered the remote start and installed it the next Tuesday after the parts came in. The transaction could not have gone smoother. Ray even went over and above by dropping the car off to me. Thanks Redline!

My name is Ryan and I had 2 12 inch sub woofers and a 3000 watt amp installed on Friday June 26^th and entered in a car audio competition over the weekend and won 2^nd place! Great installation, parts and customer service over at redline automotive. Thanks guys!-.+

Just saw the gentleman on roselle in front of redline picketing to get his deposit back. Came here to Unilocal to see what was up and was surprised at what I saw. Now I feel as though I need to chime in! I had brought my brand new car in there a decade ago to have an auto start put in. First time it rained after installation there was a bunch of water in the trunk. Took it back to Redline and they blamed it on manufacturing error and just blew it off. Turns out someone drilled a hole somewhere and that was causing the monsoon in my new trunk. Luckily I WORKED for the dealership that I bought the car from and one of the techs fixed it. Months later there was a wiring issue because of the aftermarket auto start. Totally installed by a hack. How these guys are still in biz is beyond me. Give the guy his deposit back!

Saw a guy standing outside with signs saying he wants his deposit back. rate on Unilocal and honk for something. anywaaays… I Hope you get it!

Noticed an unhappy customer in front of redline today with signs wanting his deposit back. Went in there 5 years ago to price a aux jack to be installed in my suburban. 600 bucks the rude arrogant little man told me, I laughed & he said either that or these cheap pieces of garbage for 80 bux. Very arrogant. I walked out went to best buy. Surprised they’re still in business. They must be doing good at ripping off people. You always see a nice SUV or boat in lot just saying. Hope the guy picketing his business gets his money back

no Stars! Terrible place… do NOT do business with this company.

Run by father and son delinquents! Out of 33 reviews, they have 33 «1stars“haha! What does that tell u about this place!

You guys should not go to there. The owner is extremely rude. I went to there to install the remote stater and my car was broken right away after that. That place don’t even deserve to have one start.

Wow what a mistake I made by purchasing anything from this place! I should have listened to the previous reviews. If you’re in the market for anything car starter related don’t pursue these people. If it’s not available somewhere else you really don’t need to buy it. Don’t do what I did think that these reviews are false the owner here, his name is Ray, is a dishonest man. I would’ve given just 0 stars or negative stars if I could. I purchased a remote car starter from these people because they said they could get what nobody else could. I want to pick up my car home all they had charge me for parts they were not installed and he told me they would not be available later that summer, this was the summer of 2013. Repeated trips or not with the same story that the parts were not available and they would call me when they were in. The correct parts are still not available now I have to go out and purchase a key for my car as they use it in the installation process that they told me they did not need to do. All that to say don’t buy from this place!

If only zero stars were an option.
They installed an antenna in my car that didn’t work and refused to refund me because policy states, ‘all sales are final.’ Even though their part didn’t work. The owner wouldn’t return my calls and anytime I did get him on the phone, he basically blew me off. I had to get Discover involved to finally get a refund almost a month later. And when next months credit statement came, it still wasn’t there so Discover had to go after them again. Rude, completely unprofessional, total scam artist. Nothing but negative reviews all over Unilocal,google, facebook… Buyer beware.

Rude, unprofessional and only focused on money. I have stopped in and called a few times over the past 10 years and nothing has changed. They will do whatever they have to, to force a sale. One incident that sticks out in my mind was when I asked for a quote to replace my stereo. The owner sat in my car, took out my stereo, without asking, and then quoted me. I asked him to put it back and his response is «we can’t take out and put back stereos and walked away».

Just like the other reviewers, we made the mistake of going to this place based on a neighbors recommendation. First of all, they broke one of the key fobs when they installed the remote starter. They did acknowledge that it was their fault and would pay for the replacement.
The second mistake was leaving the car with them so they can deal directly with Volvo to get the new fob. They told me it would take 24 hours. We went to pick up on Thursday and they told us the Volvo dealership did not finish the job yet, but will be done later in the evening and they will pick up from the Volvo dealer that night. They told us it will be ready Friday morning. My husband went there and they told him they were understaffed and was not able to pick up the car. Once again, they promised to pick it up later in the day and we should come back in the afternoon. My husband did that and got the same story. We went back Saturday morning and once again, same story. We eventually went to the Volvo dealer ourselves to pick up the car.
If they had been honest with us from the beginning instead of feeding us a bunch of excuses and lies, we would have not wasted our time going back and forth to their shop, and they would have avoided receiving another bad review.

Unilocal should really consider having a ZERO star for some businesses. I think giving them a one star is for pity.
I’m not sure what kind of world this guy thinks he’s living in, what a narcissistic bastard! He literally gives NO fuck about what you think and what you demand. What kind of business owner plays that kind of bullshit on their customers. I’m very verry surprise they are still open. It was my misfortune to even meet and had services done by this son of a bitch. He seriously gives Italians a bad name. He gives customers attitudes, rude service, and worst of all NO REFUND! Actually no, that’s not the worse, he’ll tell you the car will be done at a certain time when its not. If you plan on having your stuff on time, don’t count on this place. Please, take my advice and spend an extra Benjamin somewhere else for better service. Spread the word! Don’t let your friends and families go through hell.

boy, im a Unilocaler, and im not sure why i didnt read these reviews BEFORE i went to these scam artists.
i could write a novel, but let me just say this… my 199 remote starter ended up costing me about 3 grand in repairs to my car. my practically brand new car.
stay away from here, please…

How this Company even rates even 1 star is beyond me! Rip off Ray is a compliment for this guy! I tried to buy a new remote for a 2011 vehicle which I purchased used. I was told by Ray that I had to purchase 2 and that they would need to be ordered. I would need to pay up front for the remotes and a programming fee. I was a bit hesitant but agreed. He said it would take a week. Three weeks later after multiple unreturned phone I finally reached them and dropped off the vehicle for the day (yes for the day because they“are sobusy”) I was then told that the remotes that they ordered were wrong and they could do nothing for me but install a new system and credit the difference, NO REFUND! This place should be not be allowed to be in business! This my first post on Unilocal but I felt obligated. Hopefully this will prevent someone else from being ripped off!

Buyer beware! Avoid this place at all costs. They do not stand behind their work or the products they install. The owner refused to replace a defective Avital remote starter under warranty that they installed. He blamed the intermittent problem on radio interference. Wanted to charge me to reconnect wires that I was told were soldered when they installed the system.
I took he car to an authorized Directed Electronics dealer who recognized that the system was defective and gladly replaced it under warranty for a nominal charge. No B.S. remote programming fees, etc. like Redline wanted to charge me.

Stay Away from this business. There are others in the area that can do better quality work. Ironically after you go to them you hear all the horror stories that come from this shop. This is likely the only bad review i’ve given on Unilocal at this point. However it comes from years living in the area and a variety of people who have had run ins with this business and owner.
In my eyes its one thing if you have a bad employee causing a problem. Its another when the owner them self conducts business like so.

Minus one star if I could. These people are incompetent, incompetent, incompetent. I don’t even no where to begin. Stay away from here

Would have chosen No stars if possible — extremely rude owner and personnel. Did not want to perform work on malfunctioning unit they installed because it was out of warranty.
