It is truly unfortunate that after 3 cars, and 19 years of great service while Star was under…read moreprevious ownership I am now writing this 1 Star review. I had triple A tow my car to Star on 10/27/25. I gave them a call in advance and let them know I would be sending it there and stated what had happened. For full context, I was exiting the free way in central point there was a small box in the middle of the road and I had not choice but to slow down and go over it. My car being an Alfa Romeo Giulia sits low and something was pulled out of the bottom of my car and it immediately lost all power steering. I was able to pull to the side at the very end of the ramp. No body damage at all, car was still drivable but no power steering. The tow truck drivers were able to drive it into the flatbed themselves. Zach from Star automotive s initial quote 10/27/25 totaled $10,054.53. See pic and note Quote 1. (This quote will dramatically change once insurance adjuster is involved) 4 quotes later, 2 subcontracted dealerships, a broken fuel module that made my car completely underivable, and no answers from Zach or Austin about what happened. The insurance claims adjuster, the service manager in Portland and the technicians all agree in writing that my car was not drivable when it was brought in and that someone clearly damaged the fuel module brought the car in with zero fuel, and then tried to cover it up ...the technician stated "it was hanging off when I saw it". Zach blamed this entire incident on a recall. Once again in writing the alfa Romeo dealership states this was not possible. I did not accuse Zach or Star right away when I was presented with all the evidence and facts...I called Zach and sent him the email from the service manager who he spoke with and checked my car in with. I simply wanted an answer, and a solution to this issue. It's Friday 4:47pm 2/27/26 my car is 246 miles away one way. The additional cost is $1113.31. I just wanted my car back. When I went down to Star after my phone call with Zach to simply discuss this in person...they said Paul is on vacation and that there was nothing they could do for me. I said I wanted to believe Zach wouldn't take advantage of me knowing how hard things were already finically ....Austin and Zach made many excuses that were not only unreasonable and impractical explanations for this incident but Austin then proceeded to yell at me and threatened to call the police on me. To the owner Paul...I know you are not aware of any of this, and from one business owner to another I am truly sorry this is what your employees are doing behind your back representing your business. I could have chosen a statefarm preferred shop, but due to my past experiences with Star, Dave specifically when he was there I chose your shop. Paul please contact me regarding this matter. I do have more documents and a video of my encounter with Zach and Austin this evening if you'd like to see to give you a full perspective. I will not upload all the documents, videos I have at the moment I will leave a thorough review in full after this claim has been closed out. I look forward to our conversation Paul and I have high hopes that you will make this disappointing situation right. Thank you Hi Paul I appreciate your quick response even with you being out of town. My car is ready to be picked up in Portland and both the shop and insurance claims department need to be notified as to what the plan is. I can not wait until March 20th. The car has been gone since October and I have to have this closed out and picked up no later than Tuesday 3/3/26. I can email you all documents, videos, emails and correspondence I have from the shop. I'm sure Zach has Alfas phone number as well. Just ask for Katherine she is the Service manager. Again, appreciate your fast response and attention to this situation.

No pressure, no BS, just real, trustworthy service. They took great care of my 2016 Toyota Tacoma and made the whole process stress-free. Huge shoutout to Jake for being super helpful and understanding -- especially in moments of frustration. His patience and kindness didn't go unnoticed.

Youtube Reivew: https://bit.ly/3Q3UpLR…read more Point #1: Excessive Markup on Fuel Pump A 22-year-old customer brought her car in after the check engine light turned on. She was advised to replace the valve gasket and fuel pump, with a total estimate of approximately $3,000. Because she relies on her car to commute to Grants Pass, she felt pressured and agreed to the repair. The receipt shows she was charged $2,000 for the fuel pump alone. -Typical fuel pump cost: ~$500 -Amount charged: $2,000 -Markup: 300% When questioned, the shop stated that this level of markup is "typical" for their business. Point #2: Failure to Disclose Critical Repair After completing the initial repairs, the customer received a message stating that an additional $3,000 timing chain repair was required for the vehicle to be drivable. This information was not disclosed upfront. When asked why this critical issue was not communicated earlier, the explanation given was that it "may not have been noticed until later." -This explanation is highly questionable. -The timing chain is located in an area that would reasonably be inspected during related engine work. -It is unlikely that such a major issue would only be discovered after completing the initial repairs. It is reasonable to conclude that this information was withheld, as the customer may not have approved the initial repair had she known the full scope of required work. Point #3: Inflated Labor Charges for Timing Chain The shop quoted $2,252 in labor for the timing chain replacement. -Claimed labor time: 8.5 hours -Implied hourly rate: ~$265/hour -This is significantly higher than industry norms: -Typical labor rates: $120-$160/hour The shop stated this was due to "tiered labor pricing" based on job complexity. However: -This pricing structure was not clearly communicated -The effective hourly rate is well above standard ranges -This results in approximately $1,000+ in additional labor cost compared to typical pricing. Conclusion The pattern of behavior raises serious concerns: Excessive part markup Delayed disclosure of critical repairs Significantly inflated labor charges Taken together, these actions suggest a lack of transparency and raise questions about whether the customer was treated fairly.
