I had driven by HR Automotive many times on my way to another business for the last several years…read morebut never stopped in. When my Honda Pilot suddenly experienced rough running as it had in the last couple of years and I couldn't even get into the dealer service for a week and would have to leave the car for up to a week, I called HR. I talked to Chris on the phone and described my problem, he said to bring it right in and he would run a quick diagnostic check on it. I was very impressed by Chris' knowledge and trouble shooting capabilities when he solved the problem in a matter of 15 minutes. He turned out to be the new owner purchasing the business about 4 months ago after gaining years of experience and knowledge at a large local Honda dealer. He also changed the oil, topped up fluids, gave the car a quick once over and charged a very reasonable amount for his services. What a find! I highly recommend Chris to any Honda owner!!

I was up visiting in grants pass when all of a sudden, a terrible noise was coming from the front right of my engine bay. Not knowing the exact cause, had my suv towed into Tom's early on a Monday. By Monday afternoon they knew what was wrong, had the part is stock and could get me back on the road by end of the next day. They were even complete early and upon pickup, the tech showed me the broken fan from the radiator fan assembly that was basically wobbling away making quite the ruckus. I am so thankful that Tom's was helpful, knowledgeable and quick. They did come highly recommended by some friends so I'm glad I trusted them. If needed, will definitely take vehicles back to Tom's.

They were able to get my car in the next day diagnosed, and repaired while I waited. Tech did the repairs quickly,then took the car for a test drive and was quite concerned about a rear wheel bearing noise. He recommended a quick ck and decided bearing was finished. The owner Ken gave me a loaner for the night and the Tech had my car ready to go by 8:30am. :} In my opinion this is exceptional service and should be recognized as such. Thanks for the help.

My husband has followed Andrew through the years and all over Medford as he built his skills and reputation. I'm actually hesitant to tell too many people about him because I don't want him to not have time in his schedule when I need him. But I can't help bragging about him and the service at SOAC either. Speaking of service, (at the helm) Ken is also the best ever! Always helpful, efficient, knowledgeable and caring, I have never been let down by anyone at this business. I don't know why it's taken me this long to write a review, but I'm doing it now out of sincere appreciation for years of outstanding service and kindness.

I had such a great experience with Blueline Automotive! I called about my car and they were able to…read moreget me in the very next day, which I really appreciated. What started as one repair turned into several things needing to be fixed as they kept finding additional issues, but even with all of that, they had my car completely finished and back to me within a week! Maria was amazing throughout the entire process. She communicated with me every step of the way, kept me updated whenever they found something new, explained what needed to be done, and helped me find the best prices possible. I never felt like I was being left in the dark or just charged for things without knowing what was going on. They also have great financing options, which was a huge help with the unexpected repairs. Between how quickly they got me in, how fast they completed everything, the communication, and how much they worked with me on pricing, I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I would absolutely recommend Blueline Automotive to anyone looking for a trustworthy and efficient shop. Thank you Maria and the entire team for taking such good care of me and my car!

They charged me $155 for full diagnostic of the entire car, instead of just focusing on the window. Window motor was fine, electrical components fine. Just needed a new cable. Repair cost $472 and charged me the full diagnostic price(no folding it in or discount). Final cost $627. That's wild. Before going in, I thought: this might be my new go to mechanic and I wanted to keep business local. My window is fixed- so thank you. But, will not be going back.

Travis at Action Auto got back to me right away when I requested a call, and he was able to guide me thru what they can do to find the problem and also that they'll work with me as to repair priorities. After bringing in the car and having the mechanic go over the entire car, being able to have an honest conversation about what needs to be done....everything was explained to me in detail and my questions were answered with care and patience...helped me so much. I found their pricing fair and Travis detailed each item and went over what was involved in repairing each issue. I highly recommend Action Auto. They've been in business for over 40 years and their expertise and kindness, along with expert knowledge of vehicles, inspires confidence. This is my go to place to all things car related. Huge thanks to Travis and the crew.

I've been taking both my cars to Ken Scales for the past 12 years, but since Ken retired and his…read moreson Jeff stepped back from the business things have gone downhill, which is usually what happens when there's no owner presence on-site. When I took my Subaru in for an oil change, the tech didn't tighten the oil cap which popped off and blew oil all over my engine. Then, two weeks ago my Corvette wouldn't start, made a loud noise when I pushed the start button. AAA was not able to start it. Had to call a flat bed. Ken Scales did nothing for 2 days. On the third day they called and said the battery was dead. I told them I suspected something else was wrong because a dead battery makes no sound at all when you push the start button. I asked them to check everything having to do with starting the car that might have caused that noise. When they called to say they replaced the battery, I asked if they found what was causing the noise when pushing the start button. They said it was just a dead battery that's all, couldn't find anything else. This week, I drove the Corvette to Brookings, turned the engine off, but when I tried to start it again it made the same noise as before the new battery was installed. Worse yet, AAA said there were no AAA approved automotive service places within 30 miles, and they will only tow for 3 miles. I was terrified - 2 1/2 hours from home and no way to get there. After hitting the gas pedal a couple of times, I managed to get the car started, decided to try to make it home to Jacksonville. Took the car to Bob Thomas Automotive (BBB approved). They took the car right in, called me to say they hadn't found the problem yet, but assured me they would keep looking. Next morning their best technician called to say it took him 2 1/2 hours, but he finally found the problem. The grey wire to the fuel pump was loose. I will NEVER take my cars to Ken Scales again.

It is truly unfortunate that after 3 cars, and 19 years of great service while Star was under…read moreprevious ownership I am now writing this 1 Star review. I had triple A tow my car to Star on 10/27/25. I gave them a call in advance and let them know I would be sending it there and stated what had happened. For full context, I was exiting the free way in central point there was a small box in the middle of the road and I had not choice but to slow down and go over it. My car being an Alfa Romeo Giulia sits low and something was pulled out of the bottom of my car and it immediately lost all power steering. I was able to pull to the side at the very end of the ramp. No body damage at all, car was still drivable but no power steering. The tow truck drivers were able to drive it into the flatbed themselves. Zach from Star automotive s initial quote 10/27/25 totaled $10,054.53. See pic and note Quote 1. (This quote will dramatically change once insurance adjuster is involved) 4 quotes later, 2 subcontracted dealerships, a broken fuel module that made my car completely underivable, and no answers from Zach or Austin about what happened. The insurance claims adjuster, the service manager in Portland and the technicians all agree in writing that my car was not drivable when it was brought in and that someone clearly damaged the fuel module brought the car in with zero fuel, and then tried to cover it up ...the technician stated "it was hanging off when I saw it". Zach blamed this entire incident on a recall. Once again in writing the alfa Romeo dealership states this was not possible. I did not accuse Zach or Star right away when I was presented with all the evidence and facts...I called Zach and sent him the email from the service manager who he spoke with and checked my car in with. I simply wanted an answer, and a solution to this issue. It's Friday 4:47pm 2/27/26 my car is 246 miles away one way. The additional cost is $1113.31. I just wanted my car back. When I went down to Star after my phone call with Zach to simply discuss this in person...they said Paul is on vacation and that there was nothing they could do for me. I said I wanted to believe Zach wouldn't take advantage of me knowing how hard things were already finically ....Austin and Zach made many excuses that were not only unreasonable and impractical explanations for this incident but Austin then proceeded to yell at me and threatened to call the police on me. To the owner Paul...I know you are not aware of any of this, and from one business owner to another I am truly sorry this is what your employees are doing behind your back representing your business. I could have chosen a statefarm preferred shop, but due to my past experiences with Star, Dave specifically when he was there I chose your shop. Paul please contact me regarding this matter. I do have more documents and a video of my encounter with Zach and Austin this evening if you'd like to see to give you a full perspective. I will not upload all the documents, videos I have at the moment I will leave a thorough review in full after this claim has been closed out. I look forward to our conversation Paul and I have high hopes that you will make this disappointing situation right. Thank you Hi Paul I appreciate your quick response even with you being out of town. My car is ready to be picked up in Portland and both the shop and insurance claims department need to be notified as to what the plan is. I can not wait until March 20th. The car has been gone since October and I have to have this closed out and picked up no later than Tuesday 3/3/26. I can email you all documents, videos, emails and correspondence I have from the shop. I'm sure Zach has Alfas phone number as well. Just ask for Katherine she is the Service manager. Again, appreciate your fast response and attention to this situation.
