Sargon and 5 Star Auto Clinic is the best. I have taken all of my cars there for service over the last 25 years. Extremely trustworthy, quality work and a straight shooter. It's important to have a trustworthy and knowledgeable mechanic in life and this is the place. Can't say enough. read more

I'm from So Orange County & was driving north on the 5 on a Sunday. My car died north of Castaic and had to be towed. A local recommended 5 Star, so I left it there overnight. Sargon called first thing Monday and said they'd check it out. Unfortunately, my engine froze up and was beyond repair. Sargon kept the car overnight until I could have it towed home. He was very professional throughout. read more

It doesn't look like much from the outside, but the shop is excellent. Pricing is competitive. And he is very straightforward about what your issues are and what is worth fixing. My daughter has an old Santa Fe and he gave us a laundry list of issues with the car, many of which would be very expensive to repair. When I called him about what repairs I should prioritize, he was very upfront about what he thought was worth addressing on the car since it was so old. I appreciated the candor of his discussion. I also take my car to him and he always has my services done well ahead of when he estimates. read more

When our car broke down in the middle of the highway, we relied on our insurance company to tow it to Five Star Auto. However, despite explaining our circumstances to the owner and expressing our urgency, it was disheartening to receive a refusal for help. We emphasized that we were not locals and were unfamiliar with the area, and we were willing to give them ample time to work on the car. However, they were unable or unwilling to accommodate our needs. In times of distress, it's important to find service providers who are compassionate and understanding, especially when we are not familiar with the area. It's unfortunate that our experience with Five Star Auto fell short, but remember that there are many other professionals who are ready to provide the help and understanding you deserve in such situations. We gave 2 stars since the owner still answered his calls and let us know that he refused to take our van. read more

We don't take our cars anywhere else! Sargon is honest, does quality work, and always delivers on time. 10 stars!

Honest & good mechanic. Love supporting local small business also. I had a complete brake job on my ram truck & recently had our Honda in for some maintenance & we will be back when we need him again. read more

Very honest, ethical, and reliable auto repair business. The owner, Sargon, has performed maintenance and repairs for family members and myself for nearly twenty years. We appreciate having this local business in Castaic. read more

I was driving home from LA to the Bay Area when my car started overheating and blowing smoke from the hood. I was able to pull off the freeway and walk to this place where the owner said he was closing soon but would take a look for $150. when I brought the car over he went over the issue with us and showed us inside the car what the issue was. my radiator lid had come off and so all the fluid was gone and my car was overheating. he said he could fix it by noon the next day but many times it's more than the radiator and so even if he fixed that I might get down the road and have another issue. I appreciated his honesty. he could have taken the money and not been honest with us, but instead he advised us to tow the car back which was at no benefit to him. furthermore he waived the $150 inspection fee and allowed us to leave the car inside his facility while we figured out getting a U-Haul to tow the car back to the Bay Area. this is exactly the kind of customer service one hopes to get when visiting any mechanic but especially when you're in an unfamiliar place and in a compromised position. thank you so much. you have no idea how much your kindness meant to us! it honestly made the terrible situation feel like we had found a silver lining. read more

Knowledgeable and reliable! Will def use their service again in the future and will recommend to everyone I know in the area. We need more honest mechanics! read more

I moved to Castaic two years ago and after asking the locals where I should go, I got several responses for Sargon at Five Star Auto. He is by far the best mechanic I've dealt with. He's very honest, very fast, and very reasonable. His prices are always under what I expect, which is a great thing. I usually call the day I need help with my car and he'll give me a drop off time immediately. He looks at the problem and calls me with the cost first before proceeding. I usually only take my cars to the dealership for an oil change to keep up my warranty. I bring my cars to Sargon for everything else. He is the best and I don't think his prices can be beaten. Plus, he's very friendly. :) read more

Sargon is by far the only mechanic that tells me how it is. No nonsense service that my car doesn't need. He is super nice and friendly. My husband introduced me to him since 2012 and I've been going ever since. I take my parents' cars there as well. I don't trust any place else with my car. I see other people's review on how the owner is rude but that's only because they misinterpret his honesty and truth for rudeness. I highly recommend him. read more

Rude! I'm amazed at the high rating considering the bad attitude and the outrageous prices they charge for services!

You will find fancier places to spend money on your car in the SCV. You will find nicer store fronts in newly built stucco strip malls. You will be hard pressed to find honesty, sincerity and quality like this. The owner, Sargon, tells you what the situation is, gives you options and guides you in the right direction to fix the issues with your car and nothing more. He doesn't upsell, doesn't try to solve problems he can't (transmission rebuild, for example) and overall provides the kind of service you expect at the price you want to pay. I have frequented many other repair shops in the SCV, always underwhelmed by their lack of personal service. Combine that with the questionable diagnostics and incomplete information and you wonder if your car is really being repaired properly. Go to 5 Star and have no question. read more

Broken down car on the I5 leaving the LA Basin. Called friends to see where I should take it. They suggested Five Star Auto Clinic in Castaic. The tow truck dropped me off there and I was underwhelmed by the appearance. The sign was fading; the doors gated up. I awoke the next morning and gave a call. He said he'd have time to work on it. Sounded very genuine and sincere on the phone. I arrived and was greeted with "That's your Honda out front, right?" He looked at it and fixed stuff. I came back three hours later and he told me to take it for a local drive before heading back to the Bay Area. Good thing too--The emissions warning light reappeared. He's going to drive out somewhere to get the VTEC part for the engine and then have it ready for me by noon tomorrow. What's amazing is his honesty, and incredible customer service. He delivered another client to her home, and drove me ten miles away, before speeding off to get the part for the car. In short, If your car breaks down, go where all the locals in the know go--Five Star. read more

Sargon is probably the most honest and reliable mechanic I've ever used. He does great work, is no nonsense and absolutely trustworthy. I've turned my whole family onto him and we've all used him many times now. Everyone had been very pleased. How many times have you been able to say that about an auto mechanic? I'm a bit embarrassed to admit how much I've spend at dealerships through the years. I know what I've paid for simple work, like brake jobs, window motors, etc at dealerships and now seeing what Sargon has charged me, I feel like a fool. Thankfully we found this valuable resource in our little Castaic community. I cannot recommend him enough. read more

I have been taking my truck to Sargon for along time, he is an excellent mechanic and does great work at a reasonable price. I wouldn't go to any one else. read more

Called 6 times before anyone answered. Asked for a quote on replacing an alternator. First thing he said was "Im booked for four days." All i wanted was a quote. After giving him the car info I told him that I had the part and only needed labor. He sounded pissed and fired back with "I only supply my own parts!" I guess he was upset that he couldnt overcharge me for the part. Thats some great customer service. read more

Sargan is trustworthy, knowledgable and affordable! My car was shaking when ever I drove on the freeway and my AC made my car shake even when stopped. I took my car to 2 other places before I decided that I would go with 5 Star Auto Clinic. The first place told me one thing, the 2nd place told me a completely different/unrelated thing. When Sargan checked out my car, without me telling him about the other inspections, he found both issues that were previously brought to my attention from the other repair shops. This assured me that he was detailed in his inspection. He told me what I could wait to do in the future and what I should do immediately. He quoted me a price less than the other two repair shops. When I got my car back, I wanted to twirl around and sing with joy! I don't remember the last time my car was so quiet and didn't sound like a diesel truck, especially when the AC was on. Most importantly, I feel safe driving my car again! Sargan is a good guy. read more

Five Star Auto Clinic - Auto Repair Near Me - Castaic, California

Sargon is honest, ethical, reasonable and a great mechanic. Hard to find that these days. He even spoke to my son about the importance of staying in college. He's a really good down to earth guy. Thank you Sargon!! And thank you Darryl Everts for the referral! read more

The young man that owns this shop is frank and honest, no nonsense, professional and great at his job. His fees are very reasonable, but one of the best things about him is you can trust him to do right by you. Our cars go to Sargon and have for many years, and we would not consider going any where else. Our neighbors do too. Probably Santa Clarita's best mechanic-definately the best in the Castaic area. read more

5 Star is officially our family mechanic. They are honest, do great work, and do it in good time. My alternator went out in my Excursion recently and they took it that very morning and had it back to me by 4. Great experience overall. read more

The owner, Sargon, is the best there is and everything you will ever want from a mechanic and an auto repair shop! My mom and I have gone to his shop since we moved to Castaic and since I started driving 7 years ago. We love him because he is a great guy! He is honest, professional, patient, direct and he will go out of his way to make sure everything is taken care of for your car. When you go in he will ask you to see what the issue is with your car, if you don't know he'll do a diagnostic and he will advise you what is priority. Unlike other car repair shops, he really cares about his customers and makes sure that they aren't overpaying for parts and labor. Always pleased with the service! Highly recommend! Support small businesses! read more

We just randomly took our car to this shop because it happened to be the closest one to where we broke down- but it happens to be the best experience we've ever had with a mechanic. Sargon is the nicest and most honorable and trustworthy mechanic! We definitely will recommend him to anyone we know in the area! I've never written a review on yelp before but we had such a great experience that we had to put up a review!!! read more

Five stars for Five Star Auto Clinic! My family has been coming here to get our cars serviced for years. Sargon takes care of his clients and is just an all-around nice guy. I still bring my car to him even though I live in LA now. read more

Broke a belt and coolent hose in our 1990 VW vanagon. The shop dealt with the issues quickly and even learned how to bleed the system. We were on our way in two hours.good guys. read more

I moved from Castaic to Lancaster many years ago, but I still take our cars to Sargon at 5-Star because of his honesty and integrity, combined with his professional knowledge, skills and tools. The shop is not fancy, but if you want the right work done at the right price, and done right the first time - 5-Star is the right place. I recommend this shop without hesitation or any reservations. It is a pleasure to do business with someone you can trust. read more

5 stars is a very generous name for a place that treats you like they do here. I would avoid this place and find a different mechanic.

The 5 star rating is aptly justified for Five Star Auto Clinic. I have lived in the Castaic area for 16 years now, and I will only take my car to the mechanic, Sargon. He is the most trustworthy mechanic in all of the Santa Clarita Valley. I am not looking for an an established franchise auto repair, or a repair shop in a modern strip mall. I am looking for a professional and honest mechanic who's work is dependable at very reasonable rates. Sargon is MY MECHANIC. If you need your car fixed, this is the place. My first Yelp review that I had to do. read more

We moved to the Castaic area 13 years ago and we asked our neighbors who they used for an auto mechanic. Almost everyone said Sargon from 5 Star is the best. It is a very small shop that you might miss if you were driving by and not looking for it. We have taken our car to him ever since and referred many family and friends. He is extremely honest and very ethical. I can with pride continue to recommend Sargon and his shop. read more

Due to the Yelp reviews describing the owner of Five Star as an honest guy, doing great work, I chose to have my car repaired at his location. In a nutshell, he quoted me $650-700 for repairs. Final bill came to over $800 without notifying me of the increase until I picked up the car. Also failed to fix other issues with the car or advise me they needed to be done until after I picked vehicle. Car still has same problems I needed repaired. Found the owner to be lacking in ethics or customer service. read more
