David runs his shop like a pro. We had a little miscommunication and he came right back and fixed everything perfectly no questions asked.! If you have any kind of bodywork, please take it to Star OC Auto body and get a quote from David. He's the real deal. read more

Brought in my son's car for front and rear bumper paint/minor repair. David was easy to work with and price was very competitive and work looked great. Would definitely use again. If someone is following you to give you a ride, I suggest having them park in the adjacent strip mall with donut shop and wait for you there. It'll be a lot easier getting in and out. read more

I had accidentally stripped the paint on my black Harley. Pretty bummed. I had hoped to take really good care of my motorcycle. Fortunately, David at Star OC Auto was very communicative in helping get my tail fender back to OEM. I appreciate the communication, flexibility, and work of Star OC Auto. I highly recommend! Especially if you have a motorcycle like myself. read more

Star OC Auto - Body Shops Near Me - Santa Ana, California

Originally, I received a great quote and response times to my questions through Yelp from Star OC Auto. David (owner) and his staff were very friendly, and efficient with the time it took to fix my car's AC. Soon after it was fixed, another issue came up with my AC. David was prompt with his response to my AC concerns, and did not push back, or blame me for the additional problems. He allowed me to take my car in again, and they fixed it the next day at no additional cost even though another part was needed! Thanks to David and the team at Star OC Auto. I would highly recommend them for auto servicing needs! read more

Dave at Star OC Auto was the best imaginable at both being highly responsive and incredibly accommodating as well as offering the best value out of anywhere else (and I did check at least a couple of other similar businesses that I thought might give the best shot at competition). Dave is super personable, professional, and passionately dedicated to actually making people's lives better through his auto repair services. My mom messed up the front bumper on her Prius Prime and the whole service took about 3-4 business days when others quoted even weeks and the cost was also sometimes half of what other places had quoted, but was still the most affordable among them all. Over a month later, the Prius is working perfectly fine with absolutely no complaints. Dave at Star OC Auto is our #1 go-to car repair shop!! read more

I reached out to a few shops before finding David, and he was the only one who responded quickly with a clear, fair quote. David gets it. I came in for a second opinion on my lower control arms on a Mazda 2020 (the dealership wanted to replace them, which felt a little suspicious given my car's mileage). David took the time to personally lift the car and show me what he was seeing before doing anything. He pointed out what looked normal, what didn't, and made sure I understood why. No pressure, no upselling. He even showed me the old parts once they were off so I could see the cracks for myself. You can tell he genuinely cares about what he does and the people who come in--not in that forced "customer service" kinda way. David's the type of mechanic I could send my grandma to and not worry she'd get talked into something she doesn't need. He even walked me through how he does a brake fluid flush, step by step, which was actually kind of fascinating. He said I could always reach out if I had car questions later on. It just feels good supporting someone who runs their business with that kind of integrity. Thanks again, David. Really appreciate the way you do things. read more

I requested a number of estimates for repair to a damaged front bumper. David was one of the first to respond, and his estimate seemed the most reasonable to me. The work was excellent, the communication courteous and professional, the shop staff friendly, the facility crowded but clean, the price more than fair, and the whole experience - which no one wants to endure - ended up being most satisfying. It's clearly a very busy shop, and I can understand why they do so much business. But even the turnaround time was good, and they were able to take my car right away. The office/waiting area was clean and comfortable The shop was not close to my house, but was well worth the effort to get there. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this body shop, and if I have any more car damages () I will absolutely give them my business. read more

Highly recommend! David got the job done at a very reasonable cost and in less than 3 days. Looks brand new again! Had to add that David also is very friendly, welcoming, prompt in responding to text messages and yelp messages, he answered all our questions, he explained each step of the way what he was going to do, and most importantly, he was honest. We had other body shops that told us we had to replace our bumper and were charging us over $1,500. read more

They were very kind and thorough. The owner made sure to give me multiple options and talked me through the process

Once again Dave proved to be excellent at customer service. When we previously took the Prius for repair, the front panel was slightly off. I contacted him and he told me I could come in anytime. I explained I was quite busy and it would likely be a month or so. Once my scheduled cleared up, I contacted him and he told me any day was fine. I brought in the car and less than an hour later drove it out. It is really rare to find such great service any more. read more

Excellent paint repair at a reasonable price and time frame. Owner kept me apprised of progress with text messages and photos.

Great work at a great price. David kept me informed the whole time. I highly recommend them.

So happy I went with David and Star OC. I got too close to the end of a parking lot island and damaged the rocker panel on our Tesla. I went to a repair shop on the recommended list of my insurance company. They wanted to cut out the damaged area. Seemed excessive. David walked through his approach assuring me he could repair it. He sent pictures as the work progressed giving me the confidence it was done right. The car looks perfect! And the price reasonable! read more

This is the first time ive gotten out of my way to write someone a review.. David from the start was extremely communicative. I had a fat dent on my Tesla and I had consulted many places before I found David and Star OC Auto. Not only did David give me a fair quote that was WAY better than other places, he did a fantastic job. Here's the thing...its not just the price/work that made me believe in giving David and Star OC Auto my business from here on out...it was his attitude towards business. - He texted me every step of the way, if there's any hiccups in timing, this was communicated ahead of time - He quoted me once and never changed the quote on me - He went out of his way to make sure the customer felt convenient. I had an electric vehicle and I did not have the foresight to charge it to full before leaving it. Naturally with a paint job and fixes the car had to be turned on/off multiple times. I was running out of battery and i wouldn't have enough to make it to a charging station and I texted my concern to David. He went out of his way to purchase a charger to make sure I was good to go before I picked up my car. Its small things like that that make me a lifelong customer. I'd give this place 10 stars if I could read more

Excellent work! My car looks brand new again. The attention to detail and quality of the paint job were top-notch. Highly recommend this shop! read more

David is amazing! A rare, one-of-a- kind car shop owner!, super honest, authentic, caring, transparent, and the list goes on! I mainly came here for second opinion regarding my lower control arm. I had been told by a national franchise, when I went in for oil change, that I urgently needed to replace LCA, even though I replaced it by another location from same franchise only 13K miles ago. Since there was such a push for me to do the work, I questioned if it was simply an upsell. David and I had already exchanged quite a few messages through Yelp about my concern. When I came to his shop, he spent so much time with me to explain why he recommended LCA be replaced and to have it checked at my next oil change. While I don't know cars, I know people. I know how to read person's body language, pay attention to their communications and can even pinpoint the values of a business and owner just through interactions. David blew me away as his character, deep concern for his customer's safety first, being direct, super quick in his responses, super honest in his business transactions and beyond fair in his pricing shines through everything he does. I am deeply grateful I found him/his shop to return to when I do replace LCA!! My majority prior to David with car shops has been pressure tactics, upsells and poor poor expensive work that I had to get redone a year or so later. I will be back! Again many many thanks to David for being true to your values and total commitment to the customer! Try Star OC Auto out for yourself. read more

David was a great communicator and very nice. The job was done nicely and also he was very accommodating. I'm glad I found this place and for sure will bring business in the future. read more

David and his group did a great job painting my FRS. Only had a couple panels that needed to be repainted and due to the small job wasn't getting a good quote from other shops.

I recently took my car in for body work. I agree with previous reviews that David is honest and this shop provides quality and value. Among all the quotes I got, this place was the lowest. The work they did on my car was excellent read more

I recommend star OC auto 10/10. David the owner and the rest of the crew exceed my expectations today on some body work I needed done with my front bumper. David responded quick and communicated great. I was able to talk with David and could really see this is an honest company that takes great pride in their work. If you need any sort of work done, this is your one stop shop. "B" is the one who took care of my car and he did a great job on it. Props to these guys running a great spot. I will be back with any future work. read more

I thought that there was no such thing as an auto body shop that was fair, reasonably priced, skilled, communicative, and quick. I'm so grateful to have been proven wrong! When I came in for an estimate, this was the 3rd shop I had gone to. I thought the quote was more than fair, so I gave them the business. I appreciated that the shop kept me in the loop with pictures and explanations on the process while it was getting worked on. Then when I came in to pick her up not only was my car good as new, but the total ended up being less than originally quoted. I couldn't believe they didn't take the opportunity to pocket the difference. I enthusiastically referred others to them. I even took my car back there for a small job of installing a dash cam. I'm in awe that they didn't make me feel like I was unconvincing them with it. They even took the time to show me how it worked in while standing in the rain! This is a beautiful example of why I prefer working with small businesses. Thank you! read more

My experience from start to finish with David was so smooth-sailing. I contacted him through Yelp for a quote and he replied very quickly and was very kind from the beginning. I needed to fix my bumper and side panel because it was dented. I called to confirm an appointment and when I brought in my car, he took a closer look and explained what the process was going to entail. Super genuine and I felt more at ease that my car would be fixed since he was so welcoming and open to explaining each step--the logic behind getting to the finished product. He consistently texted me updates with pictures and replies very quickly to questions. I asked him to add on a few more repairs--like my brakes--and he gave me his recommendation on how I should go about fixing it; I didn't feel pressured into paying extra or agreeing to fix new "issues." His prices are very reasonable for the quality of work. Can't emphasize how kind and genuine David is. You can trust him and his team with your car repairs! read more

They did an amazing job on my BMW. The paint on the hood and roof was fading from the sun exposure. They refinished and repainted both. They also fixed some dents and scratches on the back bumper and refinished the front bumper. The pain quality was excellent and they did an amazing job matching and blending the paint. The car looks 10 years newer now! David and his team were amazing. Great value and honest work. read more

Excellent work by Star OC Auto on '24 GMC Canyon. David got it done, looks like new. It was done quick and at a very reasonable price.

I highly recommend Star Auto. It looks a little janky from the outside, but I can assure you that these guys are constantly packed. Their lot is full cars that need to be repaired - and I think that's a good indicator to measure quality and success. I brought in my sister's old toyota prius to repair. Her front bumper was damaged it was coming off, and she was missing both the left and right fender liners. David kept it real with me, he peeled back the bumper, looked at the existing structure, and he immediately knew that this car was previously in an accident. He told me what it was going to take to repair it and said he doesn't have all the answers today, but as he does more repairs, if he finds more, he'll let me know. He also hooked me up with a good deal. I brought it to like 3 other shops previously, and they were quoting me at about $200 more than what David charged. Great price AND quality repairs. Can't go wrong. read more

couldn't be happier with the paint job. Thanks guys! I'll be back whenever I need service again read more
