    They were able to determine the issue and fix it with minimal problems. Will be returning.

    Took my X5 in for a fluid dump and new filter. Reasonably priced and finished it in just an hour and a half. I'll be back!

    They did a great job on my transmission for a really good price, even getting it done early for me. Highly recommended.

    When Brent heard the description his first thought was probably a computer problem, not a transmission issue.

    Costa Mesa Transmission was unable to diagnose or repair my vehicle and consistently demonstrated…read morepoor communication throughout the process. I paid $333 for two hours of labor for a diagnosis and a relearn procedure that I was told would resolve the issue. At no point was I contacted to authorize any additional work beyond the diagnosis. I was later informed that the vehicle was fixed and paid the invoice, hoping the issue had been resolved. Unfortunately, the problem remained. When I returned, I received conflicting explanations. First, I was told there were no detectable issues. Later, I was told the transmission needed to be replaced. I was also repeatedly told that the repair I suspected would not fix the problem. Even so, I asked them to provide a quote for that repair since a transmission replacement was not financially practical. I was told they would call me with a quote and credit one hour of labor, but I never received a call. After nearly a month of poor communication and an unrepaired vehicle, I decided to purchase the part and perform the repair myself. More than 100 miles later, the vehicle is operating normally. The repair that I was repeatedly told would not solve the issue ended up resolving it completely. I am extremely disappointed with my experience and am out $332 with no resolution provided by the shop.

    I can't express how grateful I am for Performance Auto Repair in Costa Mesa. Even though I live all…read morethe way in Chino, something about their reviews made me feel like I could trust them -- and I was right. When my SUV overheated and the engine failed, I was overwhelmed. But the moment I spoke with them, it felt like a weight lifted. They understood exactly what was happening before they even saw the car. Instead of pushing a costly $6,000 engine replacement, Byron found a way to rebuild the engine through a machine shop, saving me thousands. That kind of honesty is rare. The repairs took time, but they never rushed. They kept us updated, checked every detail, and refused to release the vehicle until they were absolutely sure there were no leaks, no issues, no surprises. After dealing with another shop that returned our Honda Pilot with oil leaks, this level of care meant everything. What stood out most was their integrity. Their kindness. Their commitment to doing the right thing even when it takes longer or costs them more effort. If we lived closer to Costa Mesa, we'd bring every one of our vehicles here without hesitation. There truly aren't enough words to describe how thankful I am for Byron and his team. They didn't just fix my SUV -- they restored my trust in what an honest auto shop can be.

    We were referred to Star Werks Motors by Allen Tire next door after replacing all of our tires, and…read moreI'm so glad we were. Geoff and his team are exceptional. What really stood out was the level of transparency and care. He took the time to walk us through everything with video and photos of the car, clearly explaining what was done and what to keep an eye on down the road. No pressure, no upsell, just honest, thoughtful service. Our Mercedes is at about 80,000 miles now and it's running beautifully. You can tell they truly know these cars inside and out. We're based in Palm Springs and will absolutely continue to bring our car to Geoff for the bigger service needs and anything more complex. Worth the drive, and honestly the kind of shop you want in your corner long term.

    I first came across Star Motor Werks on Instagram while scrolling through car content. At the time,…read moreI had been saving up for a brake upgrade and decided to reach out via Instagram (as suggested on their page) back in 2024. I received an automated response, but unfortunately never heard back. Life got busy, and I eventually forgot about it. Fast forward to a several of weeks ago -- another Instagram ad for Star Motor Werks popped up while I was, once again, deep in car content. This time, I decided to look up their Yelp page. Since I was already there, I used the "Request a Quote" feature and included detailed information about my goals for the project. The very next day, I was contacted by Denise, who was incredibly helpful and responsive. She asked a few follow-up questions and let me know she'd gather details and pricing for me. When she mentioned, "Oh yeah, we've done brake upgrades before!" I was genuinely excited. Her professionalism and friendly attitude immediately gave me confidence that I was in good hands. Shortly after, Geoff made multiple attempts to connect with me and even carved time out of his busy schedule to walk through the specifics of the project. He patiently explained every detail and offered thoughtful, professional recommendations on equipment and pricing. It's clear he truly knows Mercedes-Benz inside and out -- his knowledge and passion really show. I brought my car in for a quick inspection, and we reviewed everything in person. With Geoff's guidance, I ultimately decided to move forward with OEM AMG brakes and parts. Every detail was thoroughly discussed, and we penciled in a date for the project. So far, the experience has been professional, informative, and genuinely pleasant. I truly appreciate the time, transparency, and care the Star Motor Werks team have shown throughout this process. I'll be sure to provide an update once the project is completed, but I'm feeling confident and excited about what's to come.
