They were able to get my car in the next day diagnosed, and repaired while I waited. Tech did the repairs quickly,then took the car for a test drive and was quite concerned about a rear wheel bearing noise. He recommended a quick ck and decided bearing was finished. The owner Ken gave me a loaner for the night and the Tech had my car ready to go by 8:30am. :} In my opinion this is exceptional service and should be recognized as such. Thanks for the help.

My husband has followed Andrew through the years and all over Medford as he built his skills and reputation. I'm actually hesitant to tell too many people about him because I don't want him to not have time in his schedule when I need him. But I can't help bragging about him and the service at SOAC either. Speaking of service, (at the helm) Ken is also the best ever! Always helpful, efficient, knowledgeable and caring, I have never been let down by anyone at this business. I don't know why it's taken me this long to write a review, but I'm doing it now out of sincere appreciation for years of outstanding service and kindness.

If I could give them ten stars, I would…read more Blueline was the towing company registered to operated on I-5 when I burned out my brakes coming down Siskiyou Pass. I wound up having to pull off at the second runaway truck ramp -- a very dangerous place to be, but unavoidable. After more than an hour of wrangling with my roadside assistance service, which was trying to wriggle out of its commitment to provide the services I pay a good deal for (beware, RVers -- Good Sam Roadside Assistance was ANYTHING but a good Samaritan in this case!), I got them to send a tow truck to take my travel trailer and truck down off that scary mountain. Good Sam told the tow truck operator, once he was there and had my vehicles hooked up, that they would not honor my claim and pay them. To his credit, Christian called Travis, his supervisor, to explain what was going on. Travis did the right thing, saying, "Get them off that dangerous spot, and we'll deal with their service later." I am hoping he was able to recoup his costs from Good Sam, because Blue Line is a great, very capable tow service with good human beings who did the decent thing. I will never forget my sense of relief coming down off that steep grade. Thank you, guys, for being the anti-jerks and renewing my faith in human nature!

I took my car in because my window stopped working. Seems pretty straight forward-please fix the…read morewindow. They charged me $155 for full diagnostic of the entire car, instead of just focusing on the window. Window motor was fine, electrical components fine. Just needed a new cable. Repair cost $472 and charged me the full diagnostic price(no folding it in or discount). Final cost $627. That's wild. Before going in, I thought: this might be my new go to mechanic and I wanted to keep business local. My window is fixed- so thank you. But, will not be going back.

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.

So I was in the area and needed to have a pair of shocks changed on my truck. I swung by City…read moreAutomotive service to see if there was any way they could change out my shocks for me. I knew it was a long shot that someone could squeeze me in that day but I decided to give them a shot after everyone else was all booked up. When I walked in and asked if they could change out my shocks the person behind the counter said he couldn't today, I told him I understood and started to walk out and be about my way. The guy behind the counter then decided to take a shot at me and said "Maybe next time try scheduling an appointment." I know slick talk when I hear it, so I turned around and explained that I was just in the area and needed to see if they could swap them out fast like. I wasn't even done explaining myself before the person behind the desk dodged his eyes from mine and continued to talk over/down to me while I was explaining myself. So I left and laughed it off but every time I'm in that area I can't help but remember the feeling I had when I left. Just felt unwelcome and like a bother. Not a very good first impression at all. I won't be coming back.

I was up visiting in grants pass when all of a sudden, a terrible noise was coming from the front right of my engine bay. Not knowing the exact cause, had my suv towed into Tom's early on a Monday. By Monday afternoon they knew what was wrong, had the part is stock and could get me back on the road by end of the next day. They were even complete early and upon pickup, the tech showed me the broken fan from the radiator fan assembly that was basically wobbling away making quite the ruckus. I am so thankful that Tom's was helpful, knowledgeable and quick. They did come highly recommended by some friends so I'm glad I trusted them. If needed, will definitely take vehicles back to Tom's.

OMG! This place saved me today. Shout out to Jared!!…read more I had just started my first leg of a solo two day trip from Oregon to San Diego. I need to also mention that I have never done a road trip before. I was only a couple hours into my drive when I got a "low engine coolant" warning from my car. Panic stricken, I pulled over and managed to find that this place was close. Jared let me know that they could rearrange their schedule and check my coolant levels quickly. Fortunately, they found no leaks and only needed to top off my coolant. I was there a total of two hours. Excellent service! While I waited some exceptional things I want to point out about this place besides the service and friendly staff. The place is very clean. From the front desk, coffee station, and waiting room to the bathroom. Very clean. In the restroom, there was a lovely small basket that contained various travel size items from combs to pads and tampons. If you were traveling, they were free to take. I helped myself to an Emery board. In the waiting room, they had an area with books that were free to take if you so wished too. This place is a gem and I feel it is very community oriented. If I ever have a problem in this area again, I know exactly where I'm bringing my car.
