I recently backed my car into a tree trunk and caused some damage to the bumper and surrounding area. I elected to take it to Carstar since it was one of the State Farm Select Service collision repair shops in the area and because of the outstanding customer reviews on Yelp. I was not disappointed. Grant, whose business card lists him as an Estimator, was with me every step of the process. He welcomed me to the business, examined my car, discussed repair issues with me, and arranged a time for drop off and pick up since I was going put of town on vacation. I dropped my car off, went on my trip, and picked the car up when I returned. The car looks good as new! The body work was done and the car was thoroughly washed and cleaned and ready to go. Grant texted me during the process to make sure I was informed of progress. He was excellent! I depend on Yelp reviews when having to deal with choosing between unfamiliar businesses. I was comfortable choosing Carstar due to the rave reviews from Yelpers. Add me to the list of customers who enthusiastically recommend this as a place to have auto body work done. read more

These people are scammers. I took my bmw here after a fender bender. Seems like a simple bumper repair right? Wrong. They give me my quote and I drop my car off they anticipate it taking about 2 weeks to finish cool. I call them asking for updates after it had been almost a month and they tell me that the OEM headlights that they ordered came in broken and were on back order until December. So they recommend after market headlights as this was in September when they told me. I don't get headlights on my car that came in for a broken bumper for 3 months! Then I get my car back and everything seems fine until i notice there's a water leak in my headlights and then one of my bulbs goes out. I go to change my bulbs and messed with the conversion kit and got the wrong bulbs so i go back to carstar for them to tell me which ones i need to get. They tell me and I order them mind you they are of no help at all getting this fixed they told me they would reach out if it gets approved to fix by insurance and they never reached out I had to call them 2 weeks later after not having headlights for a months and zero help from these people. So i ordered the kit and put it in the car myself very simple unlike what Mike was saying about how complicated it is. Fast forward to about a week ago one of my headlights goes out again and at this point Im convinced it's because they didn't put the headlights assembly in correctly. As the bulbs haven't even been in a month and my headlights fog up anytime the car gets washed or is in rain. I decided to look at my invoice from them and do some research turns out these people never ordered the OEM bmw headlights and still charged it to the invoice along with lying to me for months about what is going on with my car saying that the headlights came in broken and were on back order since my car is 'rare' when they never even ordered it in the first place. These headlights cost $900 per headlight. I called the bmw shop they said they it from on the invoice and they hadn't sold the part since 2022! At the very bottom of the invoice they charged me $165 for aftermarket headlights and conversion kit in the miscellaneous repairs. These people are scammers and idiots that don't know how to work on cars take your business elsewhere unless you want them to use you to commit fraud along with holding your vehicle for 3 months! Horrible service from these people and also since my car sat in their shop for 3 months on a lie my starter went out and that was a nice extra $500 for something that wouldn't have happened at a body shop that's going to charge an arm and a leg for a simple repair you can do in your garage had they actually done their job. read more

I stopped in without an appointment and met with estimator Brad B., who took the time to look at my car right away. Brad provided one of the best customer service experiences I've had at any shop. He was professional, knowledgeable, and immediately understood exactly what was needed. He gave an accurate estimate for both repair time and cost--and it ended up being spot on. His estimate was about half the price of another shop nearby that had added a lot of unnecessary extras. The repairs were completed on time, and the quality of the work was perfect. Highly recommend! ********** 10 Stars!! read more

I can't begin to tell you how much I love this place! They have been nothing but the best to me. I had some major auto repair done by Addison and his team two years ago and they did a terrific job. Went back in to get a quote for a small paint repair job. Addison quoted me but then told me he would take my car to the back and see if they could buff it out first. Wow! They were able to buff it almost out. Saved me a $450 paint job and didn't charge me for the buff out. These guys are really salt of the earth! I would highly recommend them for body repair. read more

The associates were super helpful and communicative during the whole entire process. I recently had a small fender and they were able to assist in replacing the parts. They notified us with an estimated price and completion date. Upon pickup, the car turned out perfect! Thank you CARSTAR! read more

I want to give a shout out to Jeff Krouse for his consumate professionalism in regards to handling the estimate and consultation for the damages to my truck. Although my insurance company decided to total my truck and Carstar was not allowed to repair my vehicle, I have to say Jeff is a real asset to Carstar for his capable service and honest empathy to my situation. I could tell from the start that Jeff knew his stuff and I want to say thank you, Jeff and wish to you good fortune. Carstar, give that man a raise!! read more

CarStart assumed an insurance claim after my vehicle sat for 2.5 weeks awaiting repairs. They accelerated the repair so that I could pick up my vehicle in a very shirt period of time. The team was in constant communication with me, and spent considerable time explaining the issues around the damage and the specifics of the repair. I would recommend this shop for any collision or mechanical repairs and will be contacting them for any vehicle repairs in the future. Many thanks to Mike and the team!!!!!! read more

Was in a car accident and my jeep was brought here. The first time it was repaired. We noticed something wasn't done the right way. We called them and brought our car back in. It was fixed then the right time! I would like to shout out Mike! Thank you for taking great care of your customers and making it right! I find it hard to come by great customer service these days. read more

I took my mom's Lexus (if that matters) to have some front bumper work repaired and dealt with Steve Ordonez. I found CARSTAR through State Farm's select service list and am so glad I did, even though my mom paid out of pocket. Steve was the best!! He was super nice and very helpful! He came through with everything he said, from the time frame the car would be completed to the amount he quoted. The experience and the customer service was great! Their price was very reasonable too and less than I had expected. I would highly recommend taking your car to CARSTAR to get repaired. Update: I realized I accidentally gave a review for the Phoenix, CARSTAR, which I'm sure is great. However, I live in AZ and that's why the Phoenix one popped up. My mom's car was taken to the CARSTAR in Pasadena, CA, which is where she lives. read more

Our 2007 Lexus ES350 was in a fender bender. Thank goodness the damage was not significant enough to total the vehicle and this CarStar fixed it. It's honestly never looked better. We are so glad we brought our car to this collision center. Addison and all the front desk associates were kind and responsive. They did a thorough job. If we ever need this service again, god forbid, at least we know where to go. Thank you! read more

They didn't do the work that they claimed they would do and they then tried to return it with new damage. They ultimately returned the money that was paid to them but this was after I lost 4 day of using my car. I don't have the luxury of missing work nor do I have the money to pay for Ubers or taxis. I'm back at square 1. The manager was rude at best!!! There is NO room in the service industry for a manger who talks down to his customers and won't even let them voice their complaint. I took pictures and can verify everything written in this review. If you decide to use them 1. Take pictures of your car. 2. Make them write everything down on the estimate, do not take their word for anything. I will never use them again. I now have to get my car fixed the correct way. I'm sure there are good workers employed at this establishment , however my car did not get the checks and balances necessary to ensure success. I feel really screwed over! read more

My little Prius is a magnet for large pickup trucks. It's been hit twice this year -- and Addison, Patty, and the outstanding auto body crew made my part in the transaction incredibly easy. My elderly car looks like new again. Addison and everyone stayed in touch with me -- and went above and beyond in attending to the smallest details. Friendly, efficient, and quality work. They have my highest recommendation. read more

I mean one word......PATTY! She is amazing. Kind, understanding and it's clear she loves her job. She went above and beyond to ensure the job was done right. As a shop they even beat their expected time by almost two weeks. So a mechanic shop thats nice and fast? Unicorn! read more

Patty and Michael ( estimator) were FANTASTIC! They were beyond helpful and put my mind at ease throughout the whole process. VERY COMMUNICATIVE. This is my second time using them and I'm never disappointed. Thank you both so much for your hard work. I truly appreciate you both! read more

Best firm out there to perform Auto-Body work %. We are extremely pleased with both the office staff and the mechanical staff . Upon arrival we met Addison (Proprietor) Patti (office manager), Michael (chief estimator) and after a brief conversation, with all, we knew we were in the right place. From the time we dropped the car off and picked it up the entire project to include daily text message updates was seamless and transparent to both my wife and I, if you need any work done, that can be completed by car-star then hands-down you're most definitely in the right spot. Thank you all so much. Michael and Gay Cave Creek Arizona read more

Their service is great! They are easy to talk to, responsive, and fair. it was a joy working with them.

We wish we had the same experience as some of the other reviewers, unfortunately we did not. We brought our vehicle in for an estimate after recommendation from our insurance company, that should have been the first flag! We did receive the first estimate which was approved by the insurance company and after ordering parts, the work on the vehicle was supposedly being started. We were given a two week completion time. Midway into the repairs we reached out to Mike Koppien at CarStar to get status of the repairs and he informed us that there were preexisting conditions of which they informed the insurance company four days prior to our phone call. CarStar did not reach out to us at all to make us aware of their findings before calling the insurance company. At that time we requested a copy of the new estimate for repairs which they did not want to provide to us. We reached out to the inspector / adjuster and asked for a copy of the new estimate as he had received it days in advance. We agreed to meet at the shop and review the estimate together which he hand delivered to us. During the review of the estimate we noticed a $2500 charge to replace the complete exhaust system which he agreed at the time did not really need to be replaced as it was not damaged. We only learned after the insurance company totaled the vehicle that they reduced the cash value of the vehicle by $2500 and maybe more as some of the other items we could not distinguish. We did ask for a second opinion from a different adjuster to which the insurance company responded that the first individual was the sole adjuster for the area. In short, we feel that CarStar assisted the insurance company in cheating us out funds from the total loss of our vehicle and collaborated with them as they would not keep us in the loop at any stage of this incident. Please learn from our mistake and find yourself an auto collision shop, do not rely on your insurance company for suggestions as this collision shop and the insurer stole our vehicle from under our noses. It really is a shame! read more

From the first phone call to set an estimate appointment to picking up my car post repair, I highly recommend CARSTAR! The timeline for completion was exactly as they said. Very responsive, helpful and keeps you up to date on job progress. read more

Great customer service. Thank you Addison for the diagnostic and sunroof repair, will be back.

Unfortunately I was rear ended in January, and the insurance provider for the other driver listed CARSTAR as one of their preferred repair services. I was a little hesitant to not choose my own collision repair, but CARSTAR and Patty proved me wrong. Start to finish, Patty and CARSTAR were wonderful about communication, professionalism, quality of work, time, and overall customer care. They basically took care of EVERYTHING, did exactly what they said they would do, and did it in about half the time. Customer Satisfaction and quality of work are clearly their priorities, and it was great knowing that my car was in such capable and qualified hands. I highly recommend CARSTAR, and while Patty was lovely, I hope that I don't need to visit them again. ;) read more

Terrific customer service and quality work. Highly recommend! Found them on Yelp for body repair and they lived up to their rating. Clean facility, courteous staff, car came out looking terrific in time frame promised read more

When it comes to collision repair there are a lot of places out there but let me save you some time if you want quality work at a great price I would highly recommend CARSTAR everyone there is polite and professional and the owner greets you and explains the process from beginning to the end he's very honest and trustworthy and knows how to treat his customers read more

They were absolutely fabulous. They arranged everything! My vehicle was even finished before anticipated. I would definitely use them again!

I came into this shop hoping to get my car repaired after unfortunate three car accident. I did not realize I would be speaking/working with the owner of the shop directly the moment I walked into the shop. I was hopeful that I would be able to walk into repair shop and receive same day service. I was greeted by the owner - Addison whom walked me outside to my car immediately and inspected the damages. I handled him my 3rd party estimate and the rest was off my plate literally. I left my car there same day for immediate start on repair but by the time I completed the paperwork the rental car company was there to pick me up! Talk about service! I was floored! I grabbed my stuff from my car that I would need for the next few days and now I am in rental car headed to my next appointment. Addison(shop owner) followed up me with multiple times to give me progress report on my car and any supplements going through the other insurance company. I always knew what was happening. I am picking up my car as expected and again Addison will take of getting the rental car back to company. I can not believe how seamless the process was to work with this amazing small business owner! I will come back to him again and again! Plus tell all my friends about this small gem in Tempe that provides such wide array of services. read more

My hood was keyed at my apartment. (Leaving soon thank goodness) but they keyed a fairly large portion so I needed new paint. Car star was super easy to book with and they drop off and pickup process was smooth. My hood looks amazing! Seriously great job. Thank you all for your hard work! read more

My vehicle got fixed and painted twice because the first time it came out a different color and I had them repaint but the car didn't go in as it came out I found stuff in my back seat that I would never carry in there also for example vinegar oil and also seems like my car was driven and my Manual mode switch no longer works read more

If you have any car issues come here! someone backed into my car and these guys fixed it right up. Addison is amazing to work with and got my car back to me quickly and looking like new. Will be back for other enhancements to my car!!! read more

Very friendly, customer oriented, highly recommend! I was in and out in 15 minutes, quote was emailed in a timely manner. read more

They recently repaired our vehicle. They handled all the State Farm interface, and took no effort on my part. They just got on with the work, and it was delivered way faster than I expected, and the car was like new. I'm just sad they have now moved up to Deer Valley and are no longer in Tempe, but of course hope I don't have to use them again read more

Unfortunately, I was involved in a hit and run in the beginning of November that caused damage to the rear end of my 2021 BMW. My insurance company referred me to CARSTAR and I'm so glad they did. From the initial call to the final repairs, the service was outstanding. The staff was very helpful and my car looks brand new again. If you're looking for a quality repair shop, I would high recommend this one! read more

They did an excellent job with my 2018 BMW and the service was great too. Patty help us a lot with the rental and I dont have to do anything. She got everything set up for us. I strongly Recomend it read more

My car had a pretty sizable dent on the back rear door on the drivers side, taking it to CARSTAR was the best decision, not only did they make things simple with my insurance and getting a rental, but I got updates on the status and progress of the work on my car. My door looks as good as new and I'm extremely impressed with the work. Five star customer service! read more

I was in an accident and was recommended to go to carstar for repair and it was great service! Super fast and friendly great communication throughout the process. read more

Amazing service straight to the point went above and beyond what was originally planned ( cleaning my car and basically doing a headlight restoration on my very foggy lights and adding a little racing stripe *kachow* so thank you again !) got me the rental when needed. Hassle free experience 5 star service so definitely Will be returning and do recommend to anybody that needs professional body work done read more

I could not be happier with the collision repair on my Audi. From the moment I first spoke with Grant (Service Advisor), I knew I would be taken care of like I took care of my auto repair shop's customers for 20 years. Grant was born into that job: Super-pro, polite, genuinely concerned, and on point with details and updates. And even though the job was through Christmas and New Year's, he managed to get it done ahead of his predicted schedule. And the actual work done is absolutely top-notch! The paint match is perfect, and all (the 130) replacement parts fit perfectly. Thanks to everyone involved in that job. FIVE STARS! read more

These folks are the best! I went to them in Tempe and they're so good that they're worth the drive up North. Fast, honest, and always put the customer first. read more

I had an amazing experience at this Carstar for a car repair after my accident. The customer service was great and they kept me updated the whole way! They even accommodated me by staying after hours so I could pick up my car when I got off of work after they had closed. Make sure to speak to the manager Addison if you have any questions he was great, as well as his whole team. Completely recommend them for any of your car needs! My car looks fantastic now read more

My car had a small fender bender and in Sept 2019 I had the right rear bumper and fender fixed/painted by Carstar in Sunrise Florida. Since the rest of my 2013 Camaro had superficial scratches, I decided to pay out of pocket to get the rest of the car clear coated so everything looked the same. Gotta love having OCD right ? Since then the clear coat is peeling off. The Carstar shop that did the work is permanently closed . I have called Carstar corporate 18 times in two weeks but they don't answer and the voicemail is full. I found another Carstar shop locally and they said they can't help me without a receipt. I said I have the receipt. they made an appt for me to see it this week (5/2022). They looked at it and told me that I probably didn't pay for the clearcoat on the hood since it had stripes. I told them the stripes were taken off Heard- ago. Then they said that since I didn't have pics this might not be approved. I called Allstate who provided me the pics from 2019. Now they are saying that I can't prove that Carstar is the one the did the clearcoat on those two parts of my car that are peeling. I have the receipt and photos from 2019. they said the invoice doesn't show those two parts (hood and trunk). The guy was honest and said whoever did the clear coat didn't prep the surface of old pinstripe adhesive. I know Carstar did the hood and trunk clearcoat because Amber at the body shop called me when they were doing it in 2019 and said the paint underneath would look ghosted because I had prior racing stripes that were taken off years before due to sun damage (Florida sun is intense). The paint under the stripes was less sun faded. I told her that was fine and do the clear coat anyway. Now it looks like shit and Carstar can't be bothered. Sad part is , it's a $700 job.... It's not about the money. It's the principle. It's a 3 yr old clearcoat garage kept car and it's peeling off. read more

I had a dent in my trunk and visited several shops in the area. I chose Carstar because the men were so helpful and accommodating. I was kept informed of the progress and the work was completed in just a few days, as opposed to many days estimated by other shops. I've had no problems with the repair in the time that has passed. If I have any other issues that need repair, I will very definitely return to Carstar!! read more

Worst experience I've ever had with a bodyshop. Didn't put the truck bed cover on correctly, only noticed when I picked it up and had to wait for them to fix it. Lost my cover knob that holds it up. At the kicker, they failed THREE TIMES at the simple task of putting my RAM badge on. The 1st time the decal guy couldn't install because they put it in wrong spot so had to wait to get another then had to go out of my way to have them attempt 2nd time and didn't even measure where it should go and misplaced it again by an inch and and half (even after I gave them a template the decal guy said for them to use) , then cut badge into 3 letters and used too thick tape so wasn't sealed against paint like one on other side, AND missed measurements again, so finally had to order a THIRD badge and pro decal guy came out and installed perfectly in 5 minutes. If your looking for a shop that is professional, pays attention to detail, uses measurements when needed and does not waste your time (took well over 2 months), this is not the shop for you. read more
