Came in to get an inspection. No one addressed me to help. Guy in office just talking on the phone. I said, "Hello" and no response. Had to walk into the shop area to get another worker. He was just as rude read more

High quality service and very honest to customer. I recommend Abe to all my people as I see the difference.

This guy is a P.O.S. I parked in his lot mistakenly because there were no signs posted in the parking space I chose, nor anywhere in the near vicinity (I checked) that indicated you couldn't park there. He watched me get out of my car and could have easily came out and asked me to move, I would have obliged. Instead, within the span of 30 minutes that I was gone, he called and had my car towed. When I went in to the shop to ask he was a complete a-hole with no regard for human decency. He said there are plenty of signs posted in the parking lot, I went out to check and there is one sign on the side of the building not facing the street and a couple on the complete opposite side of the parking lot. I informed him that if you pull into the parking lot, you can't see those signs, and he admitted that I was right. Even if he is a good mechanic, I wouldn't trust him to change a headlight simply based off his character. There are better place to get your car fixed on Shrewsbury street. -5 stars. read more

I have fixed my card many times there is always reliable good price I love going there And I highly recommend it I recommended to my family and my friends as well. read more

Came here for a flat tire and was fully prepared to require getting it replaced. The guys here evaluated things and just pulled some metal out of my tire, pumped air back in, and basically fixed the whole issue. They said I didn't even need new tires. The whole thing only cost $20. As a young female who clearly doesn't know much about cars, I could have easily been ripped off in this situation but the guys who run this place proved to be extremely honest. Could not recommend highly enough! read more

This is where I usually get my car inspected every year but never again! Despite the state mandates, none of the employees were wearing masks even when they were closer than 6 feet from other employees and staff. One of the employees smoked a cigarette inside while I was there, and also made racist comments about a black patron after he left. read more

Best of the best , honest and does a great job. Also, Straightforward and no games !!

Excellent service. Very honest. First time but definitely not the last. They took the time to find the problem with my sons gti. Turned out to be a third party throttle body he purchased. We would have never known. read more

When I moved to Worcester a number of years back, I knew no one, and, pretty soon after I got here, my car got slammed into by one of the locals. My insurance adjuster could not recommend any body shop, but he could tell me where he takes his. So, I went to that place, and they recommended Star-Tech for the non-body repairs. Abe is pretty much the whole show at this place, and he is honest as they come. If this Turd was charged for the repairs, it is because Abe probably heard this guy tell him over the phone that he approved the charges. Now maybe this Turd couldn't string together a clear sentence and meant to express to Abe ambivalence, but I don't think for a minute that Abe would purposely put through a fix without authorization. Also, it seems that Turd uses Yelp just to vent his anger, except in the case of Niko's Pizza? Niko's Pizza is the hole that I looked to for assistance when I first drove to the Worcester area. I was lost. The guy behind the counter wouldn't even give me directions unless I bought something. I got a slice of pizza, and it was less than good. Abe cares very much about his customers. When we were on the hunt for a new car, my wife mentioned it to Abe, just in passing, and he took time out, without her asking or dropping hints or expecting anything, to discuss with her what would be best to ensure the safety of our three young girls. He also isn't out to rip you off. When an exhaust clamp and the surrounding exhaust parts were damaged, Abe explained that, if he fixed it, he would replace all three parts, costing us significantly, but, if I took it to Lou's Custom Exhaust, they could probably just weld together a solid fix without replacing the parts, for much less. His prices are very reasonable, and he is generally very prompt. We've gone to numerous mechanics in our time, and most of them are out to make a quick buck at your expense. One guy even tried writing in additional "fails" into my wife's inspection that weren't required testing. I've seen a lot of crooked mechanics in my time, and so I know the difference between the good ones and the bad ones. I only trust my car repairs to Abe and Star-Tech. His fixes are always timely and well-done, and he is just a good person. I wholly recommend his shop. read more

If you're a young female like myself (19yrs) don't go here. I took my car here after getting scammed 300 and some dollars at another shop in Worcester, to get my front bearings and axles replaced because my car was making a humming noise and clicking noise. I brought the car at 8am didn't get it back until 7pm. The guy told me he didn't find anything wrong but he replaced the back bearing. He said it was going to be $307 for the piece & labor. (As long as he fixed it I don't care paying) I asked him before I paid if he was sure he fixed it and he said yes. Not even a minute on the road and the car was still making the same noise. The car still runs the same if not worse. Did I get scammed again? Ugh. read more

I recently moved here from California and had to register my vehicle and not knowing the area I went to one place for safety inspection and was told both lower ball joints had to be replaced and they gave me a quote over $500. I asked my banker and he told me to go see Abe at Star Tech. I am really glad I did as he replaced them and a new inspection for a lot less. He told me that everything else was in great shape. It's nice to find someone honest. I will definitely go back whenever I need anything. Great staff. read more

Abe is the most honest mechanic we've ever been to. Many times I've gone to him for a second opinion and he's told me I don't need repairs other mechanics have said I needed. The repairs he has made have been much more affordable and timely than when I've gone to other mechanics. I'd highly recommend anyone go to this mechanic. read more

I have been taking our cars to Abe for several years. He maintained my wife's 2007 Honda Pilot since it was new and has kept my 2001 VW GTi running as I piled up the mileage. He and his employees are excellent mechanics, honest, and friendly. But the best thing about Abe is that he discusses what is wrong and how to fix it, whether to fix it then or later, what different things might be done to keep an old car running while keeping the repair bills to a minimum. This is the best garage I have ever used in my life. read more

The best and most decent/honest/honorable mechanics around. I've known them for almost 10 years!

Scammers, plain and simple. They worked on my girlfriend's rear wheel bearings. After fixing one side, they called and said that the other side needed fixing as well. I said I'd come down and look at the car. When I got there, they had already done the work on the other wheel and charged me for it! They apologized for the "mixup" but refused to give me any kind of discount. read more

Beware of star tech auto !!!!! They are frauds and have cost me money on tows from forgetting they made an appointment with me causing me to have to bring my car back 3 times paying for each tow and they are the whole reason my car is not working in the first place from them "Fixing" the problem TWICE !!!!! read more

Horrible service. Very misleading and the owner was very rude towards me and my pregnant wife. They gave me my car worst than it was before, then they didn't take responsibility. I WILL NEVER take my car there again, and I won't recommend nobody to do the same. read more

I went to Star-tech on a tip from a friend who had been given repair options based on cost of the project versus the projected longevity of his car. Generally speaking, garages are notorious for automatically giving you the "option" that is most monetarily convenient and/or efficient for them. Needless to say, I was intrigued. Abe is the most trustworthy mechanic I have ever used. I do not say that simply because he is honest, as I've had honest mechanics before. At each stage of the repair, he tested parts to absolve them from the equation. Where most mechanics would have simply replaced a battery and sent you on your way, he tested the alternator for an entire day. Where most would have replaced the alternator, he replaced the serpentine belt. Before moving on to the three big ones, (electrical problem, alternator, fuel pump), he consulted me. My car had nearly 200,000 miles on it and multiple previous owners who worked it to unknown conditions. I trust him, and will entrust all of my future repairs to him, because he was honest, considerate, thorough, and explicative. read more

This place is run by a truly honest Abe! After being burned by a couple of places, it was nice to finally get some honest and reliable service. We first came here to get our car inspected after getting scammed by BP on Rt.9. We used to get our cars inspected at Power Test but when they got bought by BP, we found out how shady their service was. I guess it was a blessing in disguise, because it brought us to Star Tech. For whatever reason, we took our car to get repaired at Monro on Rt 9 instead of bringing it to Star Tech - I think we forgot about them (oops). Anyway, we had a terrible experience at Monro - they should've just been upfront and admitted that the repair was out of their league. After 3 repeat visits to fix the SAME problem, it dawned on us to take it to Star-Tech. The difference in competence was like night and day. We did have to pay for diagnostic service before any repairs were done, but at that point, we just wanted our car to be fixed, so we could pass inspection. They correctly diagnosed the problem, fixed it the first time, priced it very reasonably, and explained what the other guys did wrong. On another occasion, the muffler needed to be re-secured due to rusted bolts breaking off. Abe said they could do it, but it would probably cost more, so he referred us to another place (can't remember the name at the moment!) which did the repair for really cheap (under $50). The Mr. and I were so impressed by this - who does this anymore?? It's not the nicest looking shop - the interior is pretty dated and bare bones. But don't let this steer you away! If you haven't found a reliable mechanic yet, you should give Star Tech a try. If you're weary, at the very least you could test it out by getting an inspection. read more

Can't add much beyond what all the other positive reviews had to say. A dealership said I needed a new power steering pump and a new power steering rack and gave me an estimate of $1,600. Abe asked if the power steering was working, it was. Then he said only the power steering rack needed to be replaced and gave me an estimate $300 cheaper than three other garages I went to. At the end of the day it cost only $600 to fix something the dealership and everyone else said would cost $1,500-$1,600. Truly an honest Abe. My only complaint, and it's a selfish one, is that he isn't open on Saturdays. Makes it a little inconvenient but it's worth it. read more

Moved to Worcester 2 years ago, and was nervous about finding a new mechanic. Abe is wonderful, and he takes care of my car... i have an old car, and he takes the time to explain to me what needs to be done before hand... and never goes on to do any work without calling to check. Very respectful and friendly, and Abe is not out to rip anyone off... it is hard to come by an honest mechanic these days, I wouldn't go anywhere else! read more

Abe and his employees are honest, caring and the only Auto shop who will give you free advice, free quick fix and never do work that is not really needed. They do what is necessary to make your car safe to drive. I have been to dozens of mechanics in Worcester county and by far Abe's service is the Best! read more

Abe and Star Tech are the BEST. Very honest people. His charges are reasonable.I would not bring my car to anyone else. He also fixes our company vehicles. read more

I went there first time when I moved to the US in 2007. My car back then (very old mazda) just wouldn't start up every now and then. Before going to Star-Tech I had already tried out two other places and spent about 400 bucks on tune-ups and starter replacements which did not fix anything. The Star-Tech guys figured that it was an issue with the car alarm which apparently interrupts the ignition randomly from time to time. They told me that they could replace the car alarm but that it would be expansive OR they could just cut the cable. The car alarm would still work, just not be able to interrupt the ignition any more. Since my mazda was a very old car and I had already spent a lot of money on it, I went for the latter. They didn't even charge me for the labor. And the car worked like a charm. Ever since I have them take care of all my oil changes and car repairs. Very honest, friendly and knowledgable people. They actually know cars and their issues, not just error codes. read more
