I can't say enough good things about Star Auto and Jerry. I originally brought my 2018 BMW X2 in because my two front tires were completely worn down, and after getting a flat on the way home Friday, I knew I had to get them replaced immediately. 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. read more

Bought a used 2000 Chevy Astro van, and needed AC work done to it. First took it to the Chevy dealership in Burbank just to see what they would charge. $380 just to diagnose the problem, not even fix anything, and would be about 5 days before I could get a free technician. I remembered Star Auto center because they did a good job on resurfacing my breaks on my Subaru Forester. Took it to them, and the next day, they overhauled the entire ac system in one day. All new OEM parts, which it legit needed. It wasn't cheap, but was done well for a fair price with good parts. Bonus they seem to be experts on the Astro van as well. They went above and beyond, cause I was on a timeline for a camping trip the next day. Very happy with their service. Will be back when next problem in my old car hits. read more

If I could leave 6 stars I would! This shop is amazing and Jerry is an excellent repairman. I am beyond happy with my swrvice today. My poor car has been making a terrible scraping sound from the front drivers side wheel, and my regular mechanic found no problem and sajd it was safe to drive. Hearing this noise was driving me crazy so I gave Star Auto Center a try due to their amazing reviews and close walk to work. Lets say there WAS a problem and Jerry diagnosed it right away! He gave me a very fair price and he confirmed that gut feeling I had that my not-regular-anymore mechanic was being incredibly sloppy. Jerry was very good at explaining the problem and had my car ready before I left work for the day. Let me tell you, SHE DRIVES LIKE NEW! I am over them moon! Jerry also showed me that he cleaned out my engine because rodents were making a mess in there, ew ew ew!! Thank you so much Jerry! I'm stuck in traffic tonight with a big smile thanks to your honesty and hard work. I can't reccommend this place enough! read more

Jerry is great! Honest, affordable and always goes above and beyond! It's a rare thing to find a a great mechanic and Jerry is awesome!

A ONE-STOP AUTO REPAIR SHOP, STAR AUTO CENTER IN BURBANK WILL ALWAYS "STEER" YOU RIGHT! Jerry of Star Auto is everything you could want in your auto mechanic. He is knowledgeable, thorough, pleasant, and you know he has your best interests in mind. After researching more than a dozen nearby Mercedes mechanics online via nextdoor, yelp, and google, I knew Jerry was my best choice after one phone conversation. He asked the right questions without any hard selling. As Jerry looked over my 4-door 2009 Mercedes with 100k miles to provide a repair and tune-up estimate, I happened to mention another 2009 Mercedes, a convertible with 72k miles that had been sitting for years that I was planning to sell, preferring the comfort of the 4-door. He suggested I bring him the convertible, a much more valuable car, to compare the repair and tune-up costs. Because of Jerry, I made one of the best decisions of my life: To put my money into the car I was planning to sell and to sell the car I was planning to keep. The convertible, well, it's a convertible #1, and with Jerry's magic, it runs like a top. It operates flawlessly and smoothly with excellent handling, responsiveness and power, and is actually much more comfortable than I remember because of its smaller size and solid build quality. read more

truly the best! My bumper had damage which resulted in my AC not working as well. Dropped by without an appointment and was immediately given an estimate by Jerry. Brought my car in for the repairs and received it fixed and ready the same day. Super smooth communication AND he is so kind! Would definitely recommend to anyone read more

Jerry saved my life by taking some air from my Tesla tires because it was exceeding the tire pressure

Based on the high Yelp ratings, I called Jerry for a 60k service estimate on my 2016 Lexus RX 450h. The first question Jerry asked was "What's wrong with the car?". I left my car for a couple of hours when a detailed quote was emailed to me. Jerry has a degree in mechanical engineering and only does what needs to be done. This was the first time I've serviced my car outside a dealer. I'm so pleased, the cost was 40% less expensive! read more

Jerry was so wonderful..service was excellent! Check here before you go to dealer .SAVE MONEY...thanks Jerry and Vic

There's a reason why this place has almost 5 stars. I was buying a used car, and I needed a pre-purchase inspection while I was at work. Jerry helped me out over the phone, he was extremely kind, very helpful, and he did a great job. I honestly feel like he undercharged me for his services. The least I can do is give him a wonderful review. I'm very grateful for his help. He took my credit card information over the phone and let me do everything remotely. Truly a wonderful and kind person. read more

This is a shop that you can trust. I recently took my vehicle in to have an inspection for the buyer to inspect a vehicle. Jerry is a professional technician that has experience and knows what he's looking for I really trust the shop my vehicle was a 2006 Lexus Is350. Thank you Jerry read more

Was given a quote of $450 to get my car lock fixed somewhere else, called this shop and was able to get it done same day and wasn't even charged for labor since it was such an easy fix! Very grateful for their kindness and integrity, highly recommend! read more

Jerry is such a wonderful guy! Even cleaned my engine bay out of no where. Good the thing about this place is that they're down the street and close by to where I work. Never have to deal with dealership and dealership prices again. I can just drop my car off to Jerry and his brother and not have to worry about anything. Prices are absolutely reasonable! read more

Jerry, the owner, knows cars. He is honest and works quickly. I inherited my aunt's 20 year old Lexus LS and decided to keep it and invest in some repairs. Jerry agreed it's a great car and worth keeping. He showed me the worn out parts and what needed to be done. Ladies, fear not. I know we're vulnerable with auto mechanics. You're in good hands with Jerry. read more

Good guys who spend time with you diagnosing the problem. Good communication and knowledgeable.

Can't say enough good things about the fantastic service done by Jerry and his team. I had complications on my car from a prior repair. He worked beautifully with my insurance company to get all of the repairs included from my original claim. You're in very good hands with this shop. I have a Prius and they seem to be experts with these cars. read more

I appreciate the workmanship, knowledge, and value. I've taken my 2008 BMW to them a few times over the years and the result is a fixed, well running vehicle, and an end-cost that is actually well within the estimated quote. They take the time to explain what the issue is and how they will go about fixing it so it's not a mystery cost. I feel like they are looking out for me/my car. Knowledgeable, trained mechanics. And friendly, too. read more

Star Auto Center - Jerry and his co- worker - Auto Repair Near Me - Burbank, California

Jerry was quick to respond, professional and incredibly pleasant. Most shops don't think of the human being behind the wheel, so it was refreshing to see the extra effort and care he and his colleague put in to make sure repairs were done right. Took my car in to get two major issues fixed and they saw and repaired several more issues they stumbled upon (old wires that were sticking together!!) at NO additional cost simply because it would be dangerous to ignore. I made a follow up check up a few days later also at no additional cost. I can't thank him enough. read more

Came here because of the good reviews but I'm honestly a little annoyed. I called asking about having my battery replaced and he said it would take 30 minutes for the battery to come. He asked If i was coming for sure so I said YES and came an HOUR later. (That gives plenty of time for the battery to arrive at the shop). Came to shop and I was the only customer here. He took my battery out and said my new one is on the way would be here soon... So we just sat in the car WAITING on a battery that I thought would be here before I even drove here! 50 minutes later and it finally arrived. I'm even more annoyed he took my old battery out so i couldn't even leave and come back!!! We were just stuck sitting there forever waiting... read more

Y'all, this is the place to get your car repaired. Jerry was excellent in all aspects. I had an a/c problem and dash lights coming on. He found the problem and totally let me make the decision on what I wanted to do without any pressure. I had him repair the problem and go ahead and replace my entire 23 year old system. He kept the parts to show me the problems and sure enough I'm glad I had him do the entire job. It works great and dash lights are not on anymore either. He cleaned my engine and entire car after the repairs were done. Star Auto in Burbank is definitely my new go to for auto repairs. Thanks again Jerry! read more

Car problems. Go here Friendly, reliable, affordable, gets the job done correctly first time read more

So happy to have found Star Auto Center! Jerry, the owner, saved me $800. I had a faulty circuit on the rear taillight of my Audi. It wasn't possible to purchase just a new circuit. The dealer's service center said I had to purchase a whole new housing. Parts and labor would be $800. I stopped by Star Auto Center to see if they could replace the housing for less. After seeing that the housing could only be purchased from the dealer, Jerry went online to see if he could find a housing second hand. He couldn't find one and suggested a work around with the wiring. After a half hour, the light worked and Jerry didn't charge me a thing. He wouldn't even take a tip. I didn't think kindness and service like this still existed. I'd give ten stars if I could. read more

I brought my car in to have the door lock actuators replaced and am very happy with my experience. Jerry was knowledgable and went above and beyond to resolve the lock issues quickly and within my budget. I will definitely be using Star Auto Center for any future auto needs! read more

This is my all time favorite, number 1 auto shop I have come across. I have been going here for many many years and the service just keeps getting better !!!! The customer service is so friendly and personable, the service is extremely fast, and the prices are unbeatable!!! I am a young woman who WILL get taken advantage of when trying to get my car fixed, men will overcharge me on things I do not fully have all the education on and I get scammed but this place IS NOT THAT PLACE. As a young woman who's appearance might scream "scam me i'm stupid!" and i'm well aware of that but the Men working here at star Auto center continue to treat me with respect and kindness, like any other customer!!! I have had horrible experiences at other places but this place is A+ every time! I am more than happy to recommend everyone I know in the area to this auto center !!!!!!!!!

I Needed a new alternator on my Xterra that wasn't running. I looked at the reviews and decided to tow my car here. Best decision ever! Fast. Honest , reliable and well priced!

Back in November 2021, my 2006 Acura TL was was on its last legs at around 235,000 miles. As I happened to be driving by Star Auto the car pretty much gave out but I was able to pull into the driveway of the shop. Once I got there Jerry found the issues and suggested to let him find a replacement motor instead of putting money into a new car. And almost a year later I am still grateful I went with his suggestion. He spent about a week looking for a new motor for me and even turned a few of them away because they were not up to his standard. Jerry ended up finding a great engine that only had about 80,000 miles on it, which in Honda terms is like a brand new engine. In the past year I have not had any issues at all with the work Jerry did. The car now runs like it's brand new! I thank Jerry and his team for doing such an incredible job and for a very great price! read more

I've passed this shop for years and I finally decided to give it a try. Boy am I glad I did. Jerry, the owner, is extremely knowledgeable, honest and fair. He doesn't sugarcoat things, so if you don't want to hear the truth, this isn't the shop for you. He's conveniently located on the corner of W. Olive and N. Fairview, across from Chick-fil-A. He has his own parking which is nice so that you don't have to maneuver through other shops crammed into one complex. (That drives me crazy.) His lot is well lit and there are cameras, so I've felt safe having my car towed and leaving it on a Sunday so that he can work on it Monday. He stands behind his work 100% which provides me with added comfort as I have the worst luck with cars. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that he handles all extended warranties after a horrible experience I had at the Infiniti dealership. This is a huge plus as I no longer have to be taken advantage of at the dealership and have my car "held hostage" for days as they work through their overcrowded que of cars just to learn that not all of the problems were actually fixed. He's upfront with his pricing and communicates along the way to ensure that there are no surprises. He provides a line items of repairs so that you know exactly what you've paid for. He's even waived labor costs when additional repairs for needed. (Very generous.) His goal is to ensure that you're driving off in a safe vehicle. This is now the only shop that we use for all of our cars, modern and vintage. Give him a try! read more

Really nice guy that helped me with my car for very good price! Took me in last minute.. was so kind. I will Definitely be going to them for all my future car needs! read more

Car was misfiring. Gave them a call and they were able to get me in the next day, diagnose the problem, get the parts, and fix everything I needed in that same day. Gave a more reasonable price and better service than surrounding providers. read more

I failed my smog check and needed to get the check engine light off in my car to pass, so I came to Star Auto Center and was happy with my experience. They had to order a part that would only take 30 minutes to arrive (crazy fast), but I decided to come back a couple of days later. I stayed in my car and it only took 5-10 minutes for them to swap the part out and I passed my smog check after. The same thing at the dealership was going to be 3x the cost and I'm glad I used Star Auto! read more

Jerry extremely professional... My client was driving my vehicle when the engine blew up. Jerry expedited the service and found me a new-used engine installed the engine and my vehicle was back on the road within 48 hours. You did an amazing job thank you Jerry Buddies for life Claude read more
