    Wahid and Sam are THE BEST! Love these guys! EVERYONE here is great! My brother-in-law started coming here and now my entire massive family all come and bring their cars, and for good reason: they are honest, affordable, and conveniently located near the 405 freeway. Call them for any services you might need and you'll get fair prices. Pro tip: avoid the weekends if possible, because they get busyyyyy. Thank you, Wahid! I don't know what we would do without you.

    Repaired my car. Great job, great service! Using them not first time always quick, professionally and reasonable prices. Thank you.

    This is my car, all nice and happy thanks to Star Auto. Photo was not taken at the business location.

    As an engineer who loves working on cars, I am very particular about where I take my vehicles for service. Since I'm currently at school without my tools, I needed to find a reputable shop to handle my maintenance-heavy Dodge Charger. Like many, I initially went in with skepticism--auto repair shops often have a stigma of being dishonest. However, my experience at Star Auto was nothing but positive, with honest communication and high-quality work. I had the pleasure of meeting Sam, Wahid, and Joey--all of whom are incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely nice people. They took the time to listen to my concerns and thoroughly assess my car. My Charger had a complex coolant over-pressurization issue, and I trusted them to diagnose and fix it. After extensive troubleshooting, they couldn't definitively narrow the problem down to a single component. Since my issue wasn't critical, they recommended against expensive part replacements they couldn't guarantee would fix the issue. Instead of trying to upsell me unnecessary repairs, they were upfront about their findings--and even more impressively, they didn't charge me a dime for their time. That level of honesty is rare in this industry. On a separate visit, I went in with a more urgent problem--my brake pedal was sinking to the floor. They quickly diagnosed a failed master cylinder, completed the repair efficiently, and got me back on the road at a very reasonable price. Their expertise and fair pricing make them stand out among other shops. A quick note on wait times: Since Star Auto is a busy shop with a lot of cars in line for service, it may take a day or two before they can start working on your vehicle. However, once they begin, they are efficient--most jobs are completed the same day if they have the necessary parts. If parts need to be ordered, expect a slight delay, but that's simply the reality of auto repairs and not a reflection on the shop itself. Overall, I am extremely pleased with Star Auto and how they conduct business. They are reputable, capable, and prioritize honesty over profit. Lastly, I want to address the negative reviews here for those making an informed decision. Many of the 1-star reviews seem to be written by individuals who don't fully understand the logistics of auto repair. As someone with hands-on experience in mechanics, I can confidently say that Star Auto operates with integrity and transparency. They have no need or intention to deceive their customers. If you're looking for a trustworthy, skilled, and fairly priced auto shop, I highly recommend Star Auto. They've earned every bit of this 5-star review!

    Busy on a random Wednesday. Good thing they're fast.

    See all

Not only are they friendly, efficient & more cost effective than the dealerships, the level of care & service they provide is TOP NOTCH! Intune Motors is located near The District at Tustin Legacy, on Construction Circle. They offer a wide range of automotive services ~ ranging from oil changes, engine repairs, tune-ups, brakes, diagnostics, mechanical repairs, fluid services, and also factory internal services & aftermarket upgrades. They specialize in European vehicles and employ ASE-Certified Master Technicians, so you know you are in good hands. Intune Motors also offers a warranty on parts and services. My family has taken my son's 2015 Lexus IS 250 here for repair and most recently, my mom's 2016 BMW X5. I had called Thuc on a weekday, close to closing because my mom's SUV was leaking oil and he was kind enough to fit us in that day. His level of concern for her safety (similar to how he'd treat his own mom) really touched us. In the end, my mom had to leave her car there for a few days for repair and once completed, Thuc even followed-up with us (a few days later) to ensure no further problems occurred & no more oil leaks. From my personal experience, a lot of independent service places & even dealerships often just do the service, take your money and send you home without batting another eye..but not here! That shows the commitment and dedication to developing long-term relationships with each of their clients by practicing good, honest principles daily. This definitely creates trust & loyalty for ever-lasting customer satisfaction & client comeback. I can't rave enough about Thuc & his shop and will surely take our cars back in the future & recommend to all our friends & family, when needed!!!

If you need a pre-purchase inspection or any auto repair, whether it be european, american, japanese made, etc, and EVs, take your car here and don't think twice. We reached out to Arnold for a pre-purchase inspection. While six other places quoted us $250-$350 for a "comprehensive" inspection, we paid Arnold $100, which was a STEAL for what he did, even more than what the others promised. He spent at least two hours thoroughly checking the vehicle, test driving it and walking us through every detail so we truly understood its condition. We were looking at buying an Audi Q4 e-tron that had a damage report. A reputable dealership told us it was "minor" and offered to take it to the mechanic for our peace of mind. After browsing Yelp and reading the amazing reviews, we decided to come here instead and I'm so glad we did. I had already done my due diligence and familiarized myself with the vehicle and potential issues. I asked Arnold very specific, technical questions that I already knew the answers to. He answered every single one with clarity and confidence and everything I was expecting to hear. My husband stayed the entire time, and Arnold patiently explained everything while inspecting the car. You can tell he was that kid that made the auto shop his playground growing up. He's passionate, meticulous, and GENUINELY cares. What impressed me most is that Arnold will never pressure you. He won't tell you "don't buy it," but he will clearly explain what could go wrong and what it might cost to fix. When I pressed him for his honest opinion, he said he personally wouldn't buy it at the listed price but if we negotiated it lower, then it might be worth considering. That level of honesty is RARE. They are your small local auto shop but I would choose them over any flashy, grandiose service center any day. Their integrity and transparency make them stand out. Thank you so much, Arnold and your dad, for the amazing service. We ended up just buying a Tesla!
