I have to say the experience I had with Star Tech was the best I've ever had with any kind of car shop. I was on my way back to Boise to get ready for the college year and my S40 Volvo had a severe radiator leak. I was able to get it towed to them and they were amazingly pleasant the minute I stepped in the door. They were able to look at it first thing though they were busy and find out the problem quite easily. (Partially because I had work done the day before, replacing the oil cooler hose, which turned out to be the problem.) The good news was that it was easy to fix, the hose had rubbed against a part in the drive line and caused a hole. The bad news was that the part, though just a tube, was a special order part. Claire Westhaver, the owner and office manager, called a supplier in Sacramento and had them bring out the hose. My mother and I had a long wait, but I have never felt so welcome. They gave us the hospitality that a family member would offer, and I couldn't have been happier. It was the most positive experience of such a negative day. I would recommend Star Tech to everyone. read more

I had an exceptional experience with Star Tech European. I brought in my Honda, which is not European-made, for a brake inspection. Prior to my visit, I had heard great things about their reputation for honesty and fairness. Joe accommodated me a day earlier than my scheduled appointment and efficiently resolved the issue within a few hours. He diagnosed that a brake fluid flush was necessary to resolve the problem, without any attempt to upsell unnecessary services, demonstrating commendable transparency. Their pricing is very reasonable. Additionally, I requested an assessment of my air conditioning system due to ongoing issues. They provided a detailed estimate and generously refilled my Freon at no additional cost. I am thoroughly impressed with their service and intend to return for future automotive needs. Joe's assistance was invaluable, and I wholeheartedly recommend them for professional and trustworthy automotive service. read more

I just went to Star Tech European for a problem with my 2000 ML 430. I must say that they exceeded my expectations. From the moment I walked in, Claire greeted me and my two girls and made us feel at home. The staff then completed the work (new battery was bad...it was not the alternator). The best part was that they told me that they would be able to work on my car while I waited and they had pre-ordered the part. In the end, they were professional, nice, CLEAN and went above and beyond what was expected. I must say that I used to go to Motoring Specialist in Vacaville for my BMW and Mercedes needs up until recently. Just a thought, they quoted me a service fee to just check the battery and then the quote was 80.00 dollars more than Star Tech European. I normally don't write reviews, just read them and say I will. This time, I thought they should be commended and recognized for their service. read more

I've had a terrific relationship with Star Tech and its owners for a while now, and it's because they know what they're doing, are honest, friendly people and have earned my trust many times over. I've had my wife's Mini Cooper, my Chevy Suburban, and most recently an early 70's 911 worked there and all repairs have been great, fairly priced and offered with more detailed explanations and advice than I could have asked for. Don and Claire are wonderfully friendly and knowledgable owners and Don will gladly get into the weeds with you on the most obscure details of your Porsche. As any Porsche owner will confess, having a mechanic you can trust is a huge asset in owning one of these fun cars. My wife and I gladly recommend Star Tech for care, maintenance and repair of your European or any make of automobile. read more

If TEN STARS were an option, Family Auto Center would earn every one of them…read more I initially brought my vehicle to Family Auto Center in Vacaville for a specialized installation that only certified mechanics can perform. Although it's a 45-minute drive from my home, it quickly became clear that the distance was irrelevant -- the quality of service was worth far more than the convenience of proximity. From the first interaction, the professionalism, transparency, and efficiency of Sean, Nicole, and their team stood out. The installation was completed flawlessly, pricing was fair and clearly explained, and my vehicle was serviced promptly without compromising attention to detail. What began as a one-time visit has turned into a long-term relationship. Family Auto Center is now the only place I will take my 2024 Ford Explorer -- whether for routine maintenance or more complex repairs. My husband's experience further confirmed what I already believed. He owns a 2007 Nissan Titan that he's deeply attached to and has been carefully researching where to invest in significant restoration work. He is not someone who makes quick decisions -- he studies reviews, checks BBB ratings, gathers multiple estimates, and asks thorough questions. Yet after meeting Sean, observing how the team interacted with customers, and hearing the clarity and depth with which repairs were explained, he didn't need any of that. As we left, he simply said, "That's the guy I want fixing my truck." That statement speaks volumes. What impressed us most wasn't just technical expertise -- it was integrity. In an industry where customers can sometimes feel uninformed or vulnerable, particularly women with limited mechanical knowledge, Sean and his team operate with refreshing honesty. There is no upselling, no inflated urgency, no vague explanations -- only straightforward communication and well-documented recommendations. I've had experiences with dealerships and quick oil-change chains that left me questioning both pricing and necessity of suggested repairs. At Family Auto Center, I feel informed, respected, and confident in every decision made regarding my vehicle. The name "Family Auto Center" is fitting. Not only is it family-owned and operated, but the culture reflects accountability, cooperation, and shared standards of excellence. You don't feel like a transaction -- you feel valued. It's rare to encounter a business that combines deep mechanical knowledge -- from vintage vehicles to today's complex computer-driven models -- with genuine warmth and ethical consistency. Even conversations with other customers in the waiting area reflect the same theme: long-term loyalty built on trust. I rarely take the time to write reviews. But when a business consistently demonstrates integrity, competence, and respect, it deserves recognition. Thank you, Sean and Nicole, for running your business with authenticity and expertise. You've earned not only our trust, but our continued loyalty.

Very unfriendly, not pleasant, not helpful, seemed like he woke up on the wrong side of the bed. I had a coupon that expires on March 31 (date of service was February 7). He wouldn't take it 'cause he said the system wouldn't take it. If I'm a manager running the joint, as a courtesy, I still would've given the $10 discount. Also, asked if a couple more things could be checked out, he said 'no tech available' so that was the end of that. Very stark difference from my Jiffy Lube experience last year where the guys couldn't have been nicer. Friendliest business I had been to in a while. These guys could learn a thing or two from them.

I decided to get a second opinion and brought my car to Vacaville Autopro. Vishan and his team did an excellent job diagnosing the real issue and fixed only what was necessary. They replaced the right side cylinder head instead of recommending unnecessary work. The car is now running smooth and strong. I truly appreciate their honesty, professionalism, and skill. They saved me thousands of dollars. It's hard to find a trustworthy shop these days, but this is definitely one of them. Highly recommended!

I knew they were trying to take advantage of me, so I decided to get a second opinion. I'm so glad I did. The team at Vacaville Auto Pro was honest, friendly, and never tried to sell me anything I didn't need. They took the time to explain what actually needed to be repaired and reassured me that many of the repairs the dealership recommended weren't necessary. They saved me 4000.00 in unnecessary repairs. It's hard to find a mechanic you can truly trust, but I feel I found one here. I'll be coming back for all of my future maintenance and repairs, and I highly recommend Vacaville Auto Pro to anyone looking for honest, dependable service.

I was looking to buy a newer used car and wanted to get it checked out before I made the purchase…read more I called Nestor and he said they could check it out to make sure it was a good buy. After they looked over it, they gave me the green light and I bought a used reliable car but I definitely felt peace of mind having Vaca Valley Auto Care look at it in depth. I have been driving this car for a year now and it's still running great! Recently, this car's dashboard lights were on so I brought it in to be serviced for an oil change, new spark plugs and a tire rotation. I had a couple hours before I needed to be at work and when I told them my time frame, they had it done early! I was impressed and they had my car running great again! I sat in the waiting room and watched customers come in that new the shop employees by name and they held conversations like they were old friends catching up. I watched a guy bring in his car because he was going on a road trip and they made sure his car was running good before he took it across the states. Vaca valley auto care will point out services that are needed if they find them but they always give their customers an option to do the service or not and they will tell you how long you can go if you are not ready to fix the problem yet. I have always found them to be honest, hard working men that live up to their name of caring for their customers. This is the kind of place you want your money to go to! A local shop and a local family!
