I must say this has been the best experience ever working with Eduardo and his team! Exceptional service every time! Experts for sure! We have felt so great bringing our Mercedes here. The customer service was 10 and above! I recommend these experts for your needs! We trust them so much and are so happy!!!!!! read more

Eduardo and his team are amazing Mercedes mechanics. It's businesses like his that make me evaluate all my five stars and wonder if I should move a bunch to four, just to show how much of a 5-star biz these guys are... Been coming here for the greater part of a decade. He's one of those small business owners that cares about the craft and by extension your vehicle, and actively looks out to make the right decision to penny-pinch for you when needed! Thank you for the many years of Sprinter repairs, and the many more to come! read more

Three Points Star Motors - Ye olde shoppe! - Auto Repair Near Me - Sacramento, California

Great mechanics and I have relied on Eduardo to guide me in prioritizing repairs needed on my older MBZ. And way less expensive than the dealer. read more

I contacted the shop upon a referral of a family friend. I called Tuesday, spoke with Pedro, gave him the model number and advised I needed an off-track window repaired. He took my information and said he would provide me an estimate sometime after lunch. On Friday, I had not heard back from anyone at the shop, so I called and spoke with Eduardo. He dismissed the fact that there was no follow-up on their part and asked what I needed. I asked if follow-through would be an issue moving forward. He then replied that if I felt negatively about the shop, I did not have to take my car to them. I hung up after being spoken to so rudely. I would not recommend this shop. read more

I have used Three Points Star Motors for several years. Eduardo is great and so is is son. They know all about my Mercedes and are half the price, or maybe less, than a Mercedes dealer. I have no complaints. read more

A great team led by a father-son duo. We have an older sprinter van that had a number of issues and they walked us through the list with costs for parts and labor, which ones were essential and which could wait. Even let us order online for a hard-to-find part that was cheaper than the dealer. And then, for a couple of those issues we didn't have repaired, offered suggestions for how we might fix ourselves. Kind, good communication, and absolutely zero sales pressure. read more

Absolutely amazing! Best shop I've found for any European vehicles. I somehow got a crack in my oil pan this morning. I called and they helped me get a great price and compete list of what all I needed for the work order. They had me in and out within a few hours. Completed the car. Did a full inspection and everything g you could think of. I highly recommend this spot for any of your needs! Very clean very professional and very organized. read more

Three Points Star Motors - Busted the plastic oil pan - Auto Repair Near Me - Sacramento, California

See all

I went in for an oil change. They talked me into a brake fluid change which I was Good with. Told me I needed a few repairs which I was aware of. So after paying $360., I drove 20 feet my check engine light came on??? I returned they put on the diagnostic test. Then he said my car may have a timing problem. He cleared the check engine light. I drove another 20 feet light came on again. My car was fine prior to this service I will not return or recommend as I have been doing in the past. read more

Trust goes a LONG way! No one likes to deal with or believe anything is wrong with their car. The cost implications alone can make a grown person cry, but here at TPSM you never feel as if you need to question their recommendations or their work. They are akin to the Holy Grail of mechanics for luxury brands. I've only had the pleasure of working with Pedro for all my needs, but he's been nothing short of awesome. He responds quickly to my neurotic questions, text messages, and/or phone calls. His work has been through. Nothing feels better than feeling secure leaving the shop knowing the work was done correctly and at a fair price. They don't over suggest different services or things that aren't necessary at the moment. Pedro is honest in his assessment and suggested what was immediate and what could wait. He is honest. That is worth every star I've given him. Even when it is something I don't want to hear, he walks me through every step of the process he went through to get to the conclusion. He runs test and shows the results. He even triple-checks the tests after he makes the fix to your car. I appreciate the thoroughness and transparency from my mechanic. They make the ugly and stressful seem managemable! read more

My partner and I have been in the process of buying a vehicle and there are so many risks you take when buying used. Eduardo has been such a blessing to us, we have taken multiple vehicles to him for inspection and he has been nothing short of an ANGEL! He told us immediately what was wrong with each car and he takes his time to inspect thoroughly. Plus, his prices are really affordable. Without him, we probably would have bought a lemon with serious issues. He helped us dodge a few bullets. It's a family owned business and you can tell he takes pride in what he does and really cares about his customers. read more

I have to say Eduardo and his son are fantastic. They know about BMWs they're going to give you the straight scoop they don't try to fluff anything and they give you lots of things to think about about maintenance and being ready for things and keeping your pocketbook in mind obviously they're out to make money but they're out to try to make sure you're not wasting your money either. I really appreciate their hard work and dedication to customer service and I'll continue to go there this is my first experience with them I did a pre-purchase inspection and now I'm getting some other work done that they're helping me with and I know that it's a competitive price and I'm comfortable with them. You should be too! read more

Eduardo and his team provide excellent customer service. They are very knowledgeable and passionate about caring for cars. They always find a way to go above and beyond the call of duty. Honest, thorough, quality care that deserves 6 stars. read more

Great Service. Eduardo is good at what he does. Reasonable prices. Cheaper than the dealer, and work is dealer quality.

Ed has run a wonderful business for 30+ years. He is dedicated, ethical and full of wisdom. I highly recommend 3Star notes for you vehicle needs read more

I have been taking my BMW here for service and minor repairs for about 6 months and they have a friendly atmosphere and courteous service every time I come in. Just now I busted my radiator and when I called their mechanic he suggested a great tow truck driver to help me to the shop. I trust these guys with my luxury vehicle and I see myself being a loyal customer for years to come. They get the best parts for my car and are very good at keeping me in the loop about my car. I think all shops should be as clean and organized as Three Points Star Motors. I never feel dissatisfied when I leave here and I am seriously considering purchasing one of the mechanic's old Mercedes Benz from him. I figure I will always have a great place to take it if anything should happen to it. read more

Three Points Star Motors - I'm in the office cause it's hot - Auto Repair Near Me - Sacramento, California

Three Point Star Motors is the best place on the planet if you want your late model Mercedes Benz or BMW vehicle taken care of. Eduardo and his crew will treat you and your vehicle right and you can trust him. I was there this morning picking up a car and remembered that I found out about him through Yelp years ago but had not written a review. I feel I owe him a " shout out". Thanks Eduardo! read more

I took my granddaughters 2006 BMW in to this shop because her check engine light was on. I spoke with Eduardo Avelar, he told me that they were booked up until the following week. I didn't tell him this, but I wasn't going to be able to wait that long to have her car looked at, so without him knowing any of that he asked if we minded pulling the car around in front of the shop & he would connect a machine for the codes on BMW's. We found out that it was just a loose cap on the oil tank, he cleared the codes & ordered a new oil cap. That being said, I want this review to show "Thank you" to Eduardo for going above & beyond with his kindness! There are still good people out there that don't charge you & are just nice! read more

Awesome service! All the guys were really nice, patient, and efficient. Went in with a broken heater core on my mini cooper...super freaking out...The fix and costs were explained to me immediately and my car was ready in a couple days. Would definitely recommend this shop to anyone with a European ride. These guys know their stuff!! My baby is purrin like a kitten... :) read more

I've been coming here since 2015. Yes for the last eight years they have serviced my car or I should say my baby. They are the most honest the most ethical the most reliable auto repair shop you will ever find! When I move to Roseville I still came here with my car I now live in the pocket area and yes I drive here for all of my repairs. They will never do a repair that is not needed. They always keep you informed and they have always followed through on everything they said they would do to my car with repairs. Been in the south area I was referred to another shop but I turned around and got my car back and drove it over here and I learn the hard way I should've never gone anywhere else. I strongly recommend this shop. Can you won't find a more at the cool repair shop anywhere! So yes I drive over 25 miles to come here but they are so worth it I even get my car smog at the shop they referred me to. I will always bring my car here until I don't have my little 330 CI anymore. I was referred here from the tow man over eight years ago and that was the best referral I ever received. He said this is a very honest shop you'll be happy and I am and I promise you will be too!! read more

Wow. A real SERVICE shop. I have a 1991 Mercedes 300SL that needed some "catch up" maintenance as the previous owner didn't care too much about this vehicle. On my first visit, Eduardo provided a little tour of the shop, showing me the different work areas, and storage room. He explained the products he uses and why they are used. I've never had that experience from any other shop. As Eduardo described it, they do everything except "body and paint". Definitely make an appointment here as this shop is full of Mercedes and BMWs, classic and new. Drop-ins may be possible for small jobs, like a brake fluid job, which I did on my second visit. read more

I love this spot. I bring my Mercedes work van because of the prices, customer service, and quick turn around.

I really appreciate Eduardo and his team, including his sons, who have a lot of integrity. Eduardo is very knowledgeable and will take the time to explain what's needed and why and save costs when possible. My only mistake was taking my 335d somewhere closer to home to avoid that drive to his shop. After getting nowhere chasing emissions equipment failures at other highly rated and decent shops, it is back at TPS. I honestly don't think you will find a more knowledgeable team to work on your MBZ or BMW. read more

I have a 1973 MB 450SL that needs tender loving care & I finally found the shop that provides this type of service. Took me many years of trying in the greater Sacramento area. Eduardo is now a good friend & provides all types of service to my vintage car. He's always able to find parts all over the world or locally. Always a delight working with him on regular maintenance or replacement of old parts. read more

I had been having my 2002 BMW MINI serviced in Palo Alto. When it started to make a squeaking sound from the back wheels I was scared. It is a high mileage commuter car so it's vital to have it running well. I brought it to Three Point Star Motors after a recommendation from a friend who'd had their BMW serviced there. It was everything I was looking for and more. They diagnosed the problem that day. Ordered the parts and scheduled a time for the service, making sure that they minimized the time I didn't have my car. Best part, they did little things I didn't notice till I got the car back. My drivers door had been creaking forever, I noticed as soon as I opened it up. They go above and beyond. I won't be taking my car anywhere else. read more

If you want edwardo or what ever the fuck his name is to lie to you go head and take your car to his shop he had me when he showed me something small with my car but not big. Lied to me about the voltage my alternator was giving to my car. Took it to auto zone and orielys right after alternator was more then what he told me. said my car won't pass smog without him fixing the alternator it passed a week later. he told me 900 for a new alternator when I just had my alternator replaced for 120 labor +300 for the part. Go head and waste ur money read more

The first time I went there I was referred by a friend. Eduardo is not only the nicest person to talk to he is very honest fair and thorough. Excellent customer service. They did a transmission service on my BMW and now it drives like a dream I thought it was fine but Eduardo suggested it and I am glad I did it. read more

Thanks to fellow yelpers for recommending this shop. I was amazed by Eduardo and his team. I came in the shop after hitting a middle island on the road causing alignment issues as well as lights to go off on my dash. TPSM fixed the issue within a day and even washed my car in the process. There's a reason they've been in business for decades. Highly recommend checking them out. read more

I had them do a last minute pre purchase inspection for a 2008 bmw m5 I was buying. They did an unbelievable thorough job, undoing undertrays, opening up the engine, measured calipers, rotors... they were going through the car over an hour. They came up with diagnostics and reset the computer, then we ran the car for 25 miles to see if the codes came back. The whole process took over 3 hours and they only charged $120 for such a thorough job . Highly recommended. They seem trustworthy to do repairs as well just based on how meticulous they were to make sure they didn't leave any potential problem undiscovered. read more

If I could give 100 stars, I would. Eduardo and his team are honest, trustworthy, and provide good old-fashioned customer service. I used to take my old C240 wagon to the Von Housen dealerships for service and always felt ripped off going there with their tactics of upselling services that aren't really needed. Then I found Three Points Star Motors a few years ago and kicked myself for not having found them earlier. I have since bought a Mercedes E350 wagon and Eduardo, et al service it when needed. Super happy with the service they provide! read more

I found a great mechanic. His name is Eduardo. His shop's name is Three Point Star Motors. Eduardo is thorough and shows you everything that needs to be corrected on your car. He is fair priced and gives you all your old parts if you want. Three Point Star Motors is located at 5656 Auburn Blvd. #6. Sacramento, CA 95841 (916) 339-2374 I highly recommend Three Point Star Motors!!!!! read more

Wow, what an amazing experience. I brought a BMW Z4 in for pre-purchase inspection (ppi) and Eduardo did a thorough job. "Delighting customers" is over-used but that is exactly what he did! He was incredibly honest and direct. He not only found the issues, but he also pointed them out and explained them in detail. He did an extremely professional job. I know I'm gushing, but to be fair, he definitely deserves it! There aren't many top-notch people like this, so I want to be absolutely sure that I've conveyed that feeling. He is the best. Thank you other Yelp reviewers for recommending him to me. read more

I scheduled an appointment with Eduardo (the owner) for a pre-purchase inspection of a used Mercedes. When we arrived with the car, he could immediately tell there were issues with the rear differential. At that point, we knew we didn't want the car, so I told Eduardo we didn't need the full inspection, and tried to compensate him for his time up to that point (it had been about 15 minutes). He refused to take our money, and said he was just happy to help. Such integrity! I highly recommend Three Points Star Motors. read more

Hello Everyone, I was planning to purchase a Mercedes E320 from Craigslist.org so I decided to to conduct a preown purchase inspection before buying in which they've quoted me way less then the Mercedes Dealership near by. 5mins into the inspection the mechanic told me that the car had been in an accident and it just got a fresh coat of paint. Then I had to give the seller the bad news that I wasn't going to buy the car and he was a bit shocked and didn't know what to do, but drive back to where he came from. Eduardo Jr. & Senior are such nice people father & Son didn't even charge me anything for the inspection and they just wanted to see me happy making the right decision and advised me not to buy a used Mercedes unless it's safe and mechanically sound. I give this shop 5 Stars because of their honesty and it's a family business that sees the true value of helping others while being passionate about services cars. Thanks again Three Points Start Motor! I hope this review helps ya'll! read more

Brought in my C230 because of a coolant take and broken hose. Eduardo, the owner was able to have me in and out within the hour so o could make it in for work. Great work and reasonable prices. So hard to find an honest mechanic. Looks like I found one. read more

These guys take great care of my baby, and their prices are way less than the dealership. Love them!

Can't say enough good things about this place. Eduardo went above and beyond to assist me with a pre-purchase inspection on a BMW from a local lemon lot. These guys checked every inch of the car, and even made sure they checked with BMW HQ on codes they weren't sure about. What would have cost me $500+ at a local BMW dealership (and N-i-e-l-l-o was their name-o), only cost me $120 here; and I know they did a MUCH more thorough job. You'd be hard-pressed to find a more honest family-owned BMW / Mercedes mechanic for miles. Looks like I found my permanent BMW mechanic. read more

Super friendly staff. Didn't try selling anything I didn't need. Even started working on it right away because of my time crunch and had me out before class started. Even asked me to come back in a few days to make sure it's fixed. Super friendly. Fair pricing. read more

These guys really know their stiff. Very professional and knowledgeable. I highly recommend them.

Great place for work. Brought my C Class here a few times back in 2014 and he takes care of cars like no other. Beats everyone out there! Will definitely come back when another Merc gets in my garage. read more

My neighbor referred me to this Auto Repair Shop. Eduardo owner of this business, was highly respected in San Francisco and moved to Sacramento to open his own automotive repair shop. I trust Eduardo and believe that he will always tell me the truth no matter what. I live in Elk Grove and prefer to drive over to this shop to have Eduardo repair my car. Everyone loves to bring their car to this shop because no one wants to get ripped off. Eduardo has a huge following and I watch Eduardo with all of his customers and he is the real deal! I always refer other customers to Eduardo. I feel like he is family and will make sure that my car is road worthy, safe, and reliable. Thank you Eduardo for being you! I would drive to San Francisco if you relocated back to the Bay. But thank goodness I don't have to do that! So happy that you have a bigger workshop and a wonderful TV room for me to work in while I am waiting for my car to be repaired. Blessed for sure! Thank you a million times for taking care of my BMW 330CI! read more
