Looking for some opinions on the two. Currently I deal with Astro, but was thinking of maybe switching to Auto, or maybe both. Any comments would be much appreciated.

Thanx

You already have a history with a superior product, I cannot imagine wanting to switch. Stick with "both" if you need to have a choice!

Just a thought

I have done autostart for 2 years, no problems yet. No bad brains. Price point is really good, they are not as well known so a lot of times you get people comming into your shop and ask for an astrostart, you need to say what brand, not what model. Or simply explain the difference between the 2 to see whats better for each customer.

To me it seems like astrostarts are all installed by dealerships and placed that only do seasonal installs, where as the other brands are done by shops that deal with the aftermarket.

Thanks for the replies guys. I think I'll try to offer the choice and see how that works out.
