Don't bring your car here. I went in for a brake booster and the owner Sam looked for other things and ended up paying $1,700 for work I didn't need at the time. If you want an honest & reasonable mechanic go to Nacho's auto repair down the street on Los Nietos rd. read more

I highly recommend Star Auto Care to everyone in LA/OC county. I had some leaks in my rack and pinion that I wasn't aware of, and started to hear strange whining noise. I called Star Auto Care and spoke with Sam, who is an amazing small business owner and advised me to drop off my car same day in the morning. After dropping off my car for inspection, Sam was able to have his mechanics identify the issue, which was a leaking rack and pinion. Sam provided an honest feed back and recommendation while giving me fair quote. I was advised to pick up the car a day later once the job was completed. The entire process from the beginning until the end, Sam the owner takes care of you. he does not cut corners, overcharge, and makes sure your vehicle issues are repaired before leaving his shop. I'm thankful to find Star Auto Care, and looking forward to visiting again in the future for all my vehicle needs. Thank you Sam for your amazing customer service and work, I'm glad to find you in Yelp :) read more

Great service honest and dependable you can't go wrong here . They are a small owned business and are built on integrity and dependability I came here off a recommendation from my company and coworkers and am so glad I found this place to help me out , you won't regret bringing your vehicle here ! read more

Sam is a very cool and very knowledgeable guy, and above all he is honest! Combine that with very reasonable prices and so disappointed that I never found this place sooner. They are also able to accommodate early or late drop off. Since this place is old school I would definitely call to check their hours as they don't necessarily match up with Yelp. As a woman you can tend to feel uncomfortable talking to mechanics but I felt really respected even when I asked him to explain some things I didn't understand he was very kind and patient about it. They are very professional and friendly and I will absolutely be coming back here again. read more

Star Auto Care and their staff is phenomenal. They value their customers and the quality of work speaks for itself. I have been coming here for years and will continue to come for the unseen fortune. It's reassuring, knowing the customer comes first and everything else after. read more

These are some serious stand up, honest guys. I can't praise them enough! As a girl who knows nothing about cars, seeing a mechanic is a moment I dread. When my car started shutting down on me (while on the freeway obviously) I knew I was going to have to buck up and see a pro. I drove straight to Star Auto as they're across the street from my work and had 5 stars here on Yelp. As luck would have it my car burst back to life as I pulled in but these guys kept her for a day and half to run diagnostics and figure out what was wrong. They had an idea what it was but didn't want to work on it until they knew for sure. I really appreciated that. I did not want to get stung being charged for work my car didn't need while the real problem still lurked beneath the hood. All in all they figured it out, fixed my alternator, charged my warranty carrier, and even offered to replace a weak ground wire for FREE just because it was a crappy design flaw from Mazda. To top it all off, I got a really nice hand written thank you card in the mail a few days later! You'd never get that level of service from Pep Boys! read more

I bought a 2009 mini cooper recently, I knew it had some issues, and knew mini coopers are problematic to own and work on! Sam came through once again way way on my expectations! Also in a very timely manner! read more

If I could give this place 10 stars I would! My car overheated today during one of the few storms that pass through LA. After trying to add antifreeze (about 2 gallons worth) it continued to overheat when I attempted to drive it. I eventually realized that it was going right through the car, I had a leak! I found Star Auto Care on Yelp because I was less than a mile away. The owner was completed booked and super busy, but after I told him I live in LA (not in the area) and I was kinda stranded, he agreed to take me! I was able to drive the car in around 3pm and the owner found the part we needed and had it ready by 5:30pm. This 8 month preggo is so very thankful to the owners and workers of this location! You all saved the day! read more

Sam and his team at Star Auto have been taking care of my husband's family for almost three decades! And he takes such good care of us! He is the most honest mechanic I've ever met! He doesn't try to mickle and dime you. & he's actually only interested in fixing what is actually the problem. Our cars always run fantastically (like brand new) when we get them back, and we never have to wait too long! If you need ANYTHING (from smog to engine replacement) he's your guy! read more

I highly recommend you bring your car here. Since the moment I called the customer service was great! I brought in my fairly new chevy spark to get checked out because I was having issues starting my car.Since my mileage is high, I am no longer covered under warranty so I decided to look for a local mechanic instead of going to the dealer. Sam let me know that my battery needed to be replaced. I brought my own battery and Sam was very kind and installed it free of charge. I will definitely be coming back. read more

Sam was great. He explained all repairs in detail and car is running great. Will be returning to get my other car serviced here as well. Thanks Sam read more

Took great care of me. As a women there are very few places I can take my car and feel like I am being treated with respect. This is one of them. Star is honest and their prices are reasonable. Our experience with Star: My Prius broke down the other day. I had it towed to Star. They had to reset the computer and maintenance the intake manifold. I had my car back in 24 hours and under $300. My husbands work uses Star for the company cars/trucks and has nothing but good things to say. read more
