Excellent auto service! I stopped in while my daughter's car was getting detailed at the nearby auto spa and inquired about having one of her back lights fixed... hoping it could be done that day, as I was pressed for time. The owner was so very kind and took care of it while I waited. Took no time at all and I was on my way. Quality care and good customer care is hit or miss these days, but I can guarantee you will find it here! read more

Once I week I drive from LA to Irvine for work, and I came in on July 11th because my car had a check engine light on and gave me a notice about over heating. I told them I had been told my thermostat was leaking from a previous examination, and to start with looking there. They called me back later that day confirming it was a thermostat leaking, and that they would need to order the part. I informed them I was only around once a week, so if they could at least top up the coolant before I left, I'd come back the following week for the repair. They had me pay ahead full price before leaving. I came back from LA and went into the office the following week on the 18th, and called Star Auto at 11:30am to see if I should come on over for the repair. The guy on the phone couldn't find the thermostat, so he said he'd call me right back. I called back 3 different times because he wasn't calling me back, but kept being told he couldn't find it anywhere and was waiting for someone else to call him back to figure out what was going on. Finally at 3:25pm, I get a call from them saying that a thermostat came but it was the wrong one so they would need to order a different one. The way this was said sounded like an excuse to cover the fact they forgot to order it.. I said fine, I had no choice, because I already paid $405.70 for it. I came back again on July 25th and called at 9:44am. Again, they could not find the thermostat and I had to wait for another call back from someone else who wasn't there, said I'd get a call back. I did not hear anything, so I called back again at 10:17am, was told to keep waiting. At 11:02am, I received a call that they did have it and to come by. At 1:30pm, I received a call that the car was ready to pick up. I finished up some work then began the walk over. I arrived about an hour later and was told my key was in the car. I walked over to my car which was by the car wash, and the windows were down, the keys were in the cup holder, and the car was left completely on. So for at least an hour after they finished, they left my car completely on and available for anyone to take. Fast forward to August 10th, and the same exact issues are happening to the car. I take it into a different place closer to me, and they quote me my O2 sensor, coolant sensor, and a hose connected that was leaking. So now I'm left wondering if I ever even had a problem with the actual thermostat leaking or if it was just this hose that these other people are solving. So I feel as if I paid $405 for a repair that took them essentially 3 weeks to order and repair, just for the same exact problems to continue happening. Very disappointment in the work and most importantly, the communication they all had with me. read more

This place is horrible They will price gauge you and say that you sign a contract for a different service to be done Prices are quoted triple the amount of anywhere else. Do not get your car serviced here My car needed both axels done "BOTH". Emergency service, I could not drive my car with my infant in the back seat, I knew If didn't get it fixed things can go extremely wrong While I was at work I dropped my car off I was quoted both axels to be done at over $$$ 600+ I got off work and received my car Only to find out 2 weeks later while I was getting my breaks done that only my right side axel was done/completed/fixed. Only to find that I am driving around with my baby in an unsafe vehicle . I called Star auto to make a complaint and was told that I knew only the right side would be done and that I signed a contract. I DId NOT I work very hard my my money to provide for my family I did not argue. I took my L gracefully. I am a woman a single mom and have been taken advantage of at this shop. My only concern is that shouldn't anymore women be taken advantage of. read more

Star Auto Services - A Picture of my extremely dangerous axel that was not fixed. - Auto Repair Near Me - Irvine, California

I am a super-friendly woman and--let's face it--going to a mechanic is often unfairly intimidating for women. But, listen up: these folks were so professional and their prices were so reasonable I felt *completely* comfortable. They are right across the street from a plaza with a Starbucks, a grocery, a Carl's Jr and a Rite Aid, so it was easy to wait there. And then when I walked back early they were great about giving me WiFi to use in their waiting room for the remaining time. This was the best experience I've had at a repair shop, hands down. Be kind, be genuine, be interested in their work (meaning, ask them what's up with your car and how the repair will work) and you will feel ready to decide what you need. Also?They will text if you're not a big phone person. Highly recommended. read more

Well I just had one of the absolute best surprise mechanic experiences ever. I was greeted over the phone with a wonderful "Good morning!!" A gentleman Wahid, and I mean gentleman, greeted me with a smile and great handshake and was ready to rock and roll on my Volvo. Little did I know he specialized 27 years in fixing old Volvos, and it was like a match made in Heaven for my old beast. Literally had a very tedious problem fixed that day, ready to pick up. Wahid you felt like family man and it was such a pleasure meeting you brother. Please keep in touch. Thank you for being a part of the cars history and making it that much closer to being done and enjoyed on the road. Couldn't have done it without you man. THANK YOU!!! You rock man. read more

Best in the area! Incredible customer service and most importantly they know what they're doing!

Before I came here, I went to another shop nearby to get two new tires installed. I already spent a few hundred on the tires and the installation, but later that day, my steering wheel became incredibly shaky as I was driving. I canceled all my plans that I had that day and drove to the nearest auto shop, which happened to be Star Auto Services. Immediately, I was greeted by a man named Wahid, who was extremely nice and personable. He checked out my car immediately, informed me of the problem, and did not charge me a dime. I am so grateful to have gone to this shop because their service was not only quick, but straightforward and no-nonsense. I truly appreciate how Wahid helped me in my time of need! read more

Raul and Joey the best read more

Avoid this place at all cost!! They say one word and when it's time to pay for their service, they say something else. Plain blatant lies: 1. Price dishonesty. 2. They claimed they provided service during the rain, while It wasn't raining when I got there until I left. 3. I loaded my own spare back in the trunk with ZERO help from them. 4. Totally racist for assuming I'm middle-eastern. 5. Simply they don't honor their word with shady practices. 6. Check other reviews with more or less the same complaints. You are better off taking your business else where. read more

Before coming here I was at a different location to get a simple headlight light bulb installment done and they couldn't service me after seeing my car because it's "complicated" so I ended up at Star Auto.
