Rising star motor is a 5-star mechanic shop! They've taken care of oil changes on all my vehicles, and even helped patch up some tires. Super professional and the people are really nice. Would definitely recommend. Thanks for keeping my rides running smoothly read more

I kept getting the run around from different shops, was told numerous different things by different mechanics without them actually taking a look at the car, they just asked whats wrong......idk, thats why Im bringing the car to you. Duh! This location was recommended by a friend who has a good relationship with this business. Idk the name of the man who attended to my vehicle, he already had cars lined up to get fixed at 9am. Asked me to park it and would give me a call by 12. He called in the afternoon about 2 when he finally diagnosed it, gave me a quote and let me know he can start the next day (tuesday) so he can get the parts and latest it would be ready is Wednesday. He showed us the old parts, we test drove the car and immediately felt the difference. I am happy and satisfied with the quality of work, the information provided and for the man showing the faulty parts removed. He charged a decent price for the amount of work that needed to be done. read more

service was quick and to the point, the place is a mom and pop style shop. they do not try to fleece you. would recommend coming here for a honest mechanic. read more

Staff is friendly and they are busy! People pull up like it's family and just talk to the owner. They speak English and Chinese. They have a small waiting area. However, there are a multitude of nearby shops to walk to. I had some plastic parts that fell on the underside of my car and they helped me zip tie it. It was fast and they did a great job! They also gave me tips on how to get a replacement part. read more

Reliable, fast and honest car repair shop in town. Price range is on a lower end compared to other shops.

A really great motor shop--skilled mechanics, professional service, and fair pricing. I always bring my car here because they do the job right. Highly recommended. read more

Great service and very fair pricing. I went in for an oil change and asked them to check the break and transmission fluid. Only needed to change the break fluid read more

I've been coming here for years and always recommend my friends to come here for any car maintenance or fixing. They have the best price and the best people. They give me honest opinion and doesnt try to market me to do anything more than is necessary. The owner and workers are friendly and easy to talk to and I know I can trust them with my car. Service is fast as long as it's a weekday. Plenty of shops within walking distance even if u have to wait! read more

Great family owned business. Have been getting my car maintenance needs done here. Budget friendly and here for the people. I don't see myself going anywhere else. read more

Honest with reasonable prices. They worked on my honda pilot and bmw. Usually I get premium prices for my bmw but these guys don't overcharge and thats why their customers become long term friends. read more

Overall. Very honest and reasonable owner. For that reason, a lot of customers keep coming to this place. shop is super busy and have to wait, sometimes have to leave your car there. Even for oil change, you have to go there very early to queue. Better to call them before you go. read more

We always fix our car in here. Aung is very friendly and knowledgeable. Price is also reasonable. Totally recommend this shop, if you get car trouble. :) read more

No price gouging compared to other shops. Seriously, call around and compare prices and you'll know. The best part is the quality of service is top notch. read more

I came here to get my brakes changed. My dad's been going here through friend's recommendation. I am very impressed by their quickness. I had walked in at 3pm to ask if they can replace it same day. They were able to replace it before they close at 6pm. I was so happy I didn't have to make apt to come back and drop off car. They also offer fair price for the replacement. Service was superb. I will be coming here for my future car problems. read more

Oil change cost $52 ish and took 30 minutes. I came here because the other autoshop down the street was closed (maybe because of Lunar New Year). As soon as I left, they had a long line. I would say come early in the morning. They speak English and some other dialect of Chinese that I couldn't recognize. read more

I will never never never spend a dime at this repair shop. I had a problem with starting my 2021 Toyota. A friend referred me there. When I first get there no one noticed that I there. I tried to get someone's attention and nothing. I finally got someone's attention. I think it was the owner. It told me it was nothing and just keep driving it and the problem will go away. The next took it to another shop and they found a huge problem. read more

My friend told me to come to Rising Star the next time I needed to see a mechanic. I am very glad I did. Go on a morning Monday - Thursday for shorter wait. I took my car in at 9am for a regular 5K mile inspection and waited 20 minutes to be seen, then another 30 minutes for the service to be done (oil change, brake pads, etc). Overall it is fast and reasonable experience. Thank you Rising Star! read more

Finding an honest mechanic is just as important as your barber/stylist. Rising Star Motors in Temple City is no exception to honesty and reliability. Their work and craftsmanship is on par with some of the best dealers, budget friendly and always reliable. Do prepare to drop off your car as this place gets busy. No, you'll not find a marble floor waiting room, no big screen tvs, no espresso machines, but a big fat yes to getting the job done right. Place is rather hard to find, minimal signage and rather a hole in the wall with great people. Oil change, break service, engine overhaul, just about any car service they'll do. Pro tip: for you car folks out there, they do have premium oils such as Motul, Mobile One, etc. TLDR: drop off your car, go explore the center of boba tea land as lots of businesses are just a few blocks away. Summer Roll in Temple City is a 5min walk and serves beer with outdoor seating (you're welcome). read more

This is truly a family shop run by the owner (Aung) for many years. I've taken multiple cars to him to fix and he's literally saved me thousands of dollars. He simply does a great job at an unbelievably reasonable price. His shop does get very busy, so I recommend going early in the morning and on weekdays if you can. Also, this is a place where you may have to wait a bit longer than usual or come back at a better time. But I promise you, the end result is worth it. Thank you Rising Star Motor!! read more

I had a misfire and ck engine light on and went to Longo Service, quoted $450 for diagnostic, and was advised to replace intake manifold , egr valve, egr pipe and wanted to do another compression test for $1150 more. I refused, paid the 450, then went rising star to another auto shop 15 minutes away. They found only a coil problem. gave me a tune-up, replaced 2 coils, and reset my engine light. I would have spent at over 3000 at the dealership, not including tune-up and possibly engine problems. After all that was advised and boasting quality of work dealership performance, coils were never recommended. With the amount they charged and how advisor boasted quality at longo, their techs should be held to higher standards. read more

Rising Star Motors is great! Aung is very honest and reliable as a mechanic, and my family has been seeing him for years. I actually have my current car because of a connection from Aung! I came in to Rising Star because my dad said my Prius had transmission issues, and Aung made sure that my car was driving fine despite the issues ultimately being a flat tire that needed patching up and a blown out headlight. I was charged $36 including tax for the fixes, and I was on my way! I felt very confident and safe on my driving trip to Las Vegas thanks to him and his associates. Thanks Rising Star and Aung! read more

I had a situation that came up where a vehicle I was related to needed to be repaired from an incident. Aung was a wonderful human and worked out a deal with me. He did beautiful work, and made the car good as new. He's fair and honest. I would recommend him for any vehicle work. He has good people working for him. Thank you for helping me out. I appreciate good people like you. I promise to pass the good along. Aung thank you again. I appreciate all you did to help me out. read more

Needed a transmission fluid change for my caddy. the dealer refused to do it for me for whatever reason. Went to Rising Star Motor and they did it within an hour. Now the shudder is gone, transmission is smooth like butter. thank you read more

I only had to pay $50 for an oil change on my 2019 Mazda CX-5. I heard of this shop a lot from my parents since the owner, Aung is ethnic Burmese-Chinese. Him, and two other mechanics who also knew my parents are also Burmese and are very honest in their work. They also have fixed my mom's BMW 528i sedan due to an engine issue and the price for the repair and work is also reasonable. If anyone who is looking to get their vehicles serviced, please visit this shop in Temple City. They are very reasonable with their pricing, and honest with their work. For anyone experiencing a language barrier, Aung and I believe one other mechanic, they can speak Burmese and Mandarin-Chinese. read more

Great service and honest guys! They saved me a lot of money when someone told me that I needed all new brakes and rotors on all four tires! I knew I didn't need all that, and the guys at Rising Star confirmed that I did not! read more

Will not come to this place anymore. Change the pair of Lower Control Arms here. 1st time, the guy forgot to put one side of the arm and give me back my car. Come back right on the site and finish the left over work . Those guys seem like they work in a rush. Work done but not properly. My car shakes a lot while driving. Now I need to get another place to fix the issue. $$ is decent in this place but what you got from what you paid . read more

This is my go to spot for regular car maintenance. The guy is very thorough and reliable. They are closed first Saturday every month and is always busy. I would recommend go when they open at 9am. The price is very reasonable as well. read more

My family and I have been coming to Rising Star Motor for servicing and oil changes for 10 years now. We have entrusted everything from Corollas to Lexus vehicles into their care and have been more than happy with the excellent service and competitive prices we've received. The owner, Aung, is an honest and very kind man, one of the very few people I've met in this business who I never feel has an ulterior motive. There was one instance where I was thinking about changing all the shock absorbers for my car because it had been very squeaky and unsteady but Aung checked my car and told me I would be fine with just changing two because the others were fine. He could have earned more money for telling me to change the other shocks and I wouldn't have known the difference but he cared enough to give me the exact solution I needed. If you want to service a car here or come here for an oil change, go ahead and park the car out in the front on Las Tunas and they will move the car when they are about to service it. I highly recommend Rising Star Motor for their efficiency, excellence, competitive prices, and honesty. read more

Been taking my car and my mom's car here for years. Aung, the owner, has to be one of the most honest human beings I know. He gets the job done, does it for a fair price FAR BELOW OTHERS, and takes care of your parents. Took my 2015 Honda Accord for a simple throttle body housing cleaning due to built up carbon and charged me $45! The Honda Dealerships were charging $200 and another independent mechanic was charging $125. This includes flashing the idle so your car doesn't rev all crazy. When my mom used to drive, I would tell her to take her car there for everything. There were times he would give my mom a ride home so she didn't have to wait at the shop. Truly lucky to have this place in my local town and proud to give them this review. read more

Best auto shop in the San Gabriel valley !!! Very friendly and professional!! Excellent prices !!!! I go to them for all my automotive needs!!! read more

BEST!!!!! They take such good care of my PRIUS. There's a reason I drive 45 minutes to see them. I get ripped off audio shops in Culver City LA. These guys are so honest. They know what they're doing and they make sure not to overcharge me ever. I will only go to them from here on out. THANK YOU THANK YOU read more

This was a pretty good place to go to. I came here for an oil change and they opened at 9am and didn't acknowledge me until 9:15. At 9:30am they asked me what kind of oil I used and at 10am they were done. The waiting part was annoying but over all, but I think I would come back for my car needs since it is local and convenient! read more

Great owner and great prices. One of those places you feel good about the workmanship and the price.

Aung helped me replace my corroded positive (+) battery terminal.... but later found out that wasn't the only problem.... Battery was faulty too. Sears charged and tested my battery a week ago and told me it was good. After a week went by and got my battery terminal replaced, the battery dies and Sears now tells me that the battery is bad. This is what Aung told me from the start.... Sears sucks!! Thank you Aung for your help. For those of you coming in for service or repair, get there early in the morning. He opens at 9am so be there at 9... otherwise he gets very busy very early. read more

Always reliable and provides a fair price every time. I don't know much about cars but I feel safe bringing my car here whenever something goes wrong for a fair price. read more

Great service! Reasonably priced! Fixed and checked a few things for me without no charge.

I brought my car in to have my driver's side window looked at because something had happened that did not allow it to go down or go up anymore. I was nearby the dealership Toyota, and I took it to them first because I was close by and they wanted to charge me $200 just for a diagnostic and I would have had to wait 3 hours for them to tell me what was wrong. I left the dealership... i immediately took my car to Rising Star Motor in Temple City. They took my car right in and discovered that all there was was a bolt that had fallen out they fixed my window for free... I've left positive reviews before for Rising Star Motor and I will never ever take my car to anyone else as long as this shop is open. The owner and the employees are so nice and helpful. They even brought my car to my house for me. Thank you Rising Star! You have a customer for life! Thank you Aung ! read more

My fender was broken so I got it replaced here. Aung helped me replace my fender for 1/3 of the price that was offered at another repair shop. They went above and beyond. They even cleaned the interior and exterior of my car. read more

Mr. Aung Huang and his team of mechanics are the best in the San Gabriel valley. Honest and reasonable pricing are just the beginning of this small repair shop. They took good care of my 2012 Prius and won't sell you any unnecessary repairs. I plan to take our other cars to Rising Star Motors for future services. read more

They are so nice and reliable. My aunt recommended it so I went to get my oil changed and tire rotation. They did it for half the price compare to honda show room. They are very fast and will try to find solutions to ur problems. read more
