He called about an hour before I needed it saying they were wrapping up and shared the final price which ended up being a few dollars less than the original estimate.

I was introduced to Blue Star Auto Care by my cousin who like me is very particular about his cars. Zareh the owner of Blue Star Auto Care is very knowledgeable about Mercedes cars, so much so I would say he is Master technician, better than the Jokers at the dealers who are supposed to be Experts and trained by Mercedes. After various visits to the dealer complaining of gearbox problems and being told their is absolutely nothing wrong with the car, I believed them and continued driving the car.At the regular service A I took the car to Blue Star and upon starting the car and driving it into the service bay Zareh informed me that the Gear box mount has gone on my car which I found it hard to believe as the Jokers at the Dealers could not find any problem after various visit. He actually showed me the damaged part and proceeded to replace the Gear Box mount. Problem that Mercedes Dealer could not find resolved in less than 10 minutes and at very reasonable prices. I have two Mercedes SL500 and and ML350, the only person allowed to work on them is Zareh. He only uses Genuine Mercedes parts, very clean and professional service. read more

This workshop is efficient and trustworthy. Craftsmanship and customer service is priority for this guy who runs the shop. His name is Zareh and he is a super fabulous guy. Finding a trustworthy mechanic is very hard but Zareh has proven that he is sincere with great service, great attitude and great customer service. Fast and great in every sense is what you will be experiencing in this place. Have been his customer for long time and I have taken my cars to him and the fact that he is knowledgeable about every aspect of Mercedes is very impressive. Good job and fantastic service records.

My girlfriend has taken her '05 Mercedes to a shop close to where she lives when it needed repair, but after a few questionable $1k+ jobs I decided to take it to Blue Star when the check engine light came back on since it's close to where I work. Couldn't ask for a much better experience. Zareh was refreshingly honest, upfront, responsive, and turned around what I needed fast. Throughout the process he communicated everything very well and didn't pressure me into anything. Exactly what you need when it comes to car repair. This is the place to go. read more

I've read on other reviews that "Z is the man". After taking my 2006 CLK here last week, I have to say Z IS THE MAN! Very reasonable prices and great customer service.

I had front and rear brake pads replaced, new rotors installed, an ESP sensor replaced, a Service A, and a fuel filter leak repaired. All completed in a day and at the right price. My CLK drives like a dream :-) And, the shop is clean, organized and actually smelled really good?! I highly recommend Z !!! read more

Jerry ordered the tires over the weekend and was ready to install them Monday at a great price. While replacing the tires, Jerry noticed my front struts were completely worn out, which was causing the uneven tire wear. He explained that if we only replaced the tires, the new ones would wear out quickly too. On top of that, my car had been making a loud airplane-like noise while accelerating for the last couple of years, and Jerry diagnosed it as all four wheel bearings. Originally, the repairs were going to cost around $4,100 between the tires, struts, wheel bearings, and labor. My wife and I were overwhelmed because it was completely out of our budget. After my wife spoke with Jerry and explained our situation, he showed us something rare these days: genuine compassion. He worked with us, cut costs wherever he could, and barely charged us for labor just to help us out. He brought the total down to about $3,600. That kind of honesty and heart is hard to find in the auto industry. Jerry treated us like people, not just another paycheck. The work was excellent, the communication was honest, and he truly went above and beyond for our family. If you need an honest mechanic who genuinely cares about helping people, take your car to Jerry at Star Auto in Burbank. I highly recommend them.

Stuart did an amazing job diagnosing a few issues with my Corrado, and also with my 2004 Jetta GLI. He's probably the most knowledgeable and ethical mechanic I had in LA, and there isn't another place I'd take my VWs if I still lived there.
