    Transparent and fast...knowledgeable in the fact that he had an idea what was going on before the diagnosis.

    Walt was able to fix the issue with my 2004 Chevy Silverado 2500HD very quickly and for a very reasonable price.

    These guys saved me in a pinch just a few hours before every shop in town shut down for the…read moreChristmas holiday. I was traveling down I-5 when my instrument cluster went haywire and my check engine light came on. After that my engine was running super rough and I coasted into Star Automotive to see what the heck happened. After some tests they figured out the problem (cylinder specific ignition coil failure on Chevy Silverado) and worked fast to get parts picked up and installed before they closed up shop that night. If it wasn't for them I would have spent Christmas alone in a hotel room in Grants Pass, OR. Thanks to these guys I made it 500 miles to my destination and spent Christmas with my family instead. They were friendly, did their best to get my job done up against the clock, and charged fair labor rates. I can't thank them enough and definitely recommend them to locals and travelers alike.

    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.

    This review gives me no pleasure to write given that in the past I have written an excellent one…read more I have spent many thousands of dollars at Aaron's Autowerks repair shop over the years, and my last few visits were financially damaging. Things changed after Doah left the company as manager. He used to make sure that everything was completed well and properly as promised. My Range Rover is hard to adjust. Some are. That is not my fault. I have repeatedly had to bring it back because of quirks not corrected or, more commonly, because certain final adjustments were forgotten by the mechanics time and time again (resetting things such as the idle speed). Usually they took care of such things immediately but I had to get rides for some things or take extra time to deliver the car and wait. That was frustrating. It happened repeatedly. A year ago I spent great deal of money to fix a fair number of problems, most of which were handled well (faulty electric windows, etc). However, I had to bring my car in several times to fix a power assist vacuum brake problem that made the 3 ton SUV dangerous to drive. Multiple times I had to have Aaron's fix an air suspension valve problem ( see below), and, strangely an expensive Xenon headlight bulb that supposedly went out while in their care with the new one seemingly less bright than the old. Within a number of months it too went out. It is still out. Only rarely were there apologies, usually from the ex-manager or the mechanic both of whom are very nice. I was made to feel like a 'problem' customer at times despite always being polite correct in finding their errors. I did not appreciate that either. Where the suspension issue was concerned, Aaron, the owner, knowing how much I had spent on other repairs kindly found me a used air suspension valve at the car facility next door, taken off an old Range Rover that had sat outside unused for years, and he put it in without asking me first or making clear to me any warrantee issues. His motivation for that, however, was good: he was trying to save me $400. However, it immediately went wrong and after at least five failed electronic resettings and a refitting, he would not stand by the product or work and told me that a new one was the only way to fix it and that it would exceed $1,200 (installed) after I had already spent $800-$900! He then steadfastly refused to look up or find out from others if my car was still safe to drive given that I had a permanent dashboard computer warning regarding the suspension fault. It affects handling, gas mileage and towing. It has yet to be fixed. Several attempts were also made to find a persistent drain on my battery. Eventually, a fuse was removed to a faulty headlight wiper motor. That did not fix the drain. So, between the multiple visits for failed brake assist vacuum line work, air suspension repair, and the battery drainage problem, not to mention the years-long lasting Xenon headlight bulb being replaced which subsequently went out again within a few months, I have been unable to drive my car at night, unable to tow my trailer, have had to drive slowly by day not knowing if my suspension is safe, and I was dismissed rudely from the store without any support at all for the clearly faulty air suspension valve that had been put in in good faith but without my prior permission and which had never worked! I have been a customer of Aaron's Autowerks for years, spending thousands of dollars there. We had never before had a disagreement nor has there ever been a rude word spoken in either direction. I was and remain extremely disappointed in the way that I have been treated. And I have held off this review because I genuinely like them as people. I have since been directed to other high end mechanics, although I have not yet been able to double pay on these still persistent malfunction issues that have already been paid for. Needless to say I am very disappointed in the quality of work and their attitude although I do like everyone who works there, including the owner. Jeremy Goodwin, MS, MD

They replaced my breaks, and a broken light but they also made a point to tell me my suspension was on its last legs. I was worried about the time commitment, but they had it ready in a days time.
