Absolutely an unreal level of quality, not only in the install but the customer service.Alex knocked it out of the park from the first interaction to the last hand off of keysNick went above and beyond while running to home base! He even reach out with his professional opinion and suggestions and followed through with an even more astonishing install quality.I’d provide ten stars out of five if I could!

Nick is the greatest! This shop has done work on 4 of my vehicles. His pride and professionalism are unmatched. He always delivers a great product and goes to great lengths to ensure his customers are happy. I wish I could give him 10 stars, he is hands down the best in AK for your remote start, tint, ppf, and car audio needs!!!

Nick and his staff are the best! Very professional and competitive prices. Always a friendly environment. They took care of my truck in a few hours, walked me through the remote start and answered all my questions without bias. I am extremely happy, I’ll be returning!

Amazing service! Got my remote auto start many years ago when they were still off of Dowling and after a couple years passed, my remote lost signal. I found their new location here on E 5th, same owner, and he restored my signal in a matter of minutes, no charge. Definitely stands by his work. Today, I got my sound upgraded and holy face melt... hearing my dubstep collection in a whole new.. light? Haha.. or decibel? Lol. This bass is sexy AF!! Anyway, LOVE this place and their awesome service! #customerforlife👍👍👍👍👍Thank you!!

Nick and the crew are outstanding! If you are in the market for an autostart, stop looking and make the call. This is the only shop that the Alaska eBike Store will use for autostart and sound!

Update - its 12 below zero on a Saturday morning. My 17 year old vehicle is outside, not plugged in. It just started on the first try, and Im nice and comfy inside. Thank you! I bought two remote starts for Christmas, they had a great deal - one for me and one as a gift. The purchase process couldnt be easier - unlike some places they wont surprise you with additional charges. Very pleasant atmosphere, clean and inviting (ignore the surrounding neighborhood). Helpful, knowledgeable, professional staff - the young lady I worked with was wonderful. The remote starts were installed as scheduled and on time, and work perfectly. They are also the only such shop that I know of on this side of town where I live and work, and I appreciate that. Overall a great experience and product.

I live far, and this is still the only shop within a 200 mile radius I’ll take any of my vehicles too. Nick knows the product that he is selling, possibly better than the people who create and design it. Always the first to greet customers with a smile. One time I brought him my dirty car to get tinted. He told me to get it detailed. I did, and came back the next day and got an amazing tint job done as well as a remote start on my manual transmission VW. Nick is definitely someone who is not afraid of any challenge, and he certainly enjoys what he does. 10/10, will be back.

Have loved working with Nick as he is always professional and straightforward. Went to Nick for an auto-start install and to have my windows tinted. He made the process of dropping the car off convenient and had a fast turnaround with when it would be done.Might I add that the tinting on my windows looks amazing!!I would highly recommend going to Anchorage Start and Sound.

Nick was super nice and helpful when I came in to get my auto start looked at. He fixed it in a timely fashion (though I did have to make an appointment to come back another day) and ended up not charging me for the service. Highly recommend this place for any auto start issues or sound needs.

Nick helped me with my sub that I installed by myself. The only thing I bought from the store was amp wire, he didn’t hesitate to answer all questions I had about installing the sub. Haven’t done an install in years and never with a factory amp and radio. Even saved me money by giving me wires I could hook up to my amp instead of buying a head unit

Awesome customer service. He paired up an amp perfectly for my sub within my budget, price matched Amazon without having to ask, and even threw in some free speaker wire. I will definitely return in the future if I need anything audio related.

We’ve had multiple vehicles serviced here for remote start and audio installs as well as window tint. The owner is always straight forward with pricing and the results always beat our expectations. We have shops closer to us, but Nick makes it an easy decision to make the 40 mile drive to have the work done here.

Nick stopped what he was doing to go above and beyond helping me out. Very impressed with his customer service and thoughtfulness. You don’t come across too many reputable shops like this one these days! 5 stars from me

I just had a new auto start installed by the awesome guys at Anchorage Remote Start and Sound. They got me in right away, despite scheduling in the middle of the coldest month of the year! They talked me through my options and helped me choose the best remote start for my needs! The customer service was very friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. They had my car completed in just a couple hours! THE BEST PART was after returning to work, I tested my auto start from my desk. I work in a 13 floor office space and my desk is located on the opposite side of the building and campus from where I park! I used to have to walk to the window closest to the parking lot, and still not always get a successful start with my remote.I pushed the button without leaving my desk chair and it started IMMEDIATELY! I also have an app on my phone that can start my car from literally anywhere. I am so happy with the service and product! I cant thank Nick and Anchorage Remote Start and Sound for the awesome experience.

I won a remote start from KWHL, went in set up an appointment for installation and talk about a smooth process and great customer service. Installation went quicker than expecte. Went over how to use my new remote start, will definitely be bringing any future vehicles to them.

Excellent service and exceptional workmanship. We bring all our vehicles to Anchorage Remote Start & Sound, especially for my tinting needs! Not once have I had bubbles, contaminates on the glass, tears; nothing but perfectly applied tint! The team here knows what they’re doing and does it well. I’d recommend their services to anyone looking to make improvements to their vehicle!

I had a remote starter installed by them a few years ago and when I had a problem with it they saw me and fixed it for free! Not a lot of places do that. They guarantee y’all get a lifetime use out of their products and they meant it. I recommend this company and they are extremely friendly. Nick is an amazing guy and super helpful!

Anchorage Remote Start and Sound just tinted the windows of my new SUV and in the past they installed a back up camera for my family. I can always trust them to take care of our vehicles. Nick took the time to explain different options and made sure I understood everything before and after. My window tint looks perfect and is exactly how I wanted!

If youre into really bad installs this is the place for you! Solder? Who needs solder when you can just twist wires together and tape over them, no one will actually check. The best part? in a few years when the connections break down your car will start doing wacky things to entertain you.No hood pin ether so when youre working on it and the thing decides to crank you better be ready for a good time. Hopefully you wont loose a finger or two.Really wish I could post pictures so people can see what high school quality looks like.

Nick helped me out, listened to my needs and expectations, made a few recommendations, and helped me pick out the best unit for my needs. I didnt feel like he was trying to push the most expensive / gee-whiz featured product, but instead listed the pros and cons of different units, and the phone call was done in less than 10 minutes (about 7 minutes 30 seconds).

About two years ago I had my 02 forester tinted and it came out wonderful. About two weeks later my front window had began to peel, so I called the shop and the same day they changed out the tint and my windows have been looking as good as new since. I recently drop off my new Subaru and again, window tinting to perfection. Excellent work and amazing customer service, highly recommended. I also did some shopping around and nobody beat their price around the anchorage area.

Made an appointment there and drove all the way there only to hear that it was too cold to tint the windows and that all of the tinting appointments had been cancelled, but no one from the shop had notified me. I went elsewhere, same day and got it done cheaper. Im so happy there is competition in this town and people actually work to earn business.

Wow! These guys are awesome. They know exactly what theyre doing. I have a push start car and they charged me $250 for the basic install where other places want over 400 for the same work.I highly recommend this place. Nick, the owner, is a great technician and is very knowledgeable.Thanks for the great work!

I recieved poor customer service upon my first visit. I was informed that products were not for sale without install then practically ushered out after declaring I was not interested in an install. Disrespectful behavior without warrant.

We were provided with exceptional customer service and quality workmanship from Anchorage Remote Start and Sound. The owner was incredible and willing to help us work through a tight time frame - the process could not have been more easy and efficient. Wonderful team, wonderful business!

Review №42

We had a quote to install an auto start for $200. When I came in to pay for the auto start, they said that it actually costed more than $200, but they still honored the $200 quote. I thought that was really honest of them. They also did a good job on the install and a good job explaining how the auto start worked.

Review №43

Took my car there to get tinted, dropped it off and 1 hour later the guy tells me he cant do the tint because the window sill has a little bit of pollen or that cotton that falls from the tree.. That the weirdest thing I have ever heard,it is like a mechanic saying he cant work on your car because it has oil in it. Part of window tinting is prep work like cleaning the window sill so the adhesive will stick. Wasted my time, I feel like he needs to put this disclaimer on the website or on the paperwork before people go there. Unless he was just using that as an excuse not to tint the window. Update Aug 30 2018, I took my car to Shades of Competition and they knocked out the tint in 30 min!! as opposed to dropping my car off all day like this place, and no mention of cotton or any other nonsense on the windowsill.

Was immediately greeted by the gentlemen there. I told them I needed a new remote, they just happened to have it in stock, they got it linked with my truck and fully operational in 5 minutes. Expensive replacement remote (but further research showed my remote was expensive in the first place) but it was great service.

Brought a remote starter from here. When checking out I had questions about how it operated. The seemed annoyed. No one took me out to my vehicle to go over how to start it.
