Ordinarily this is probably a decent shop to go to. I never thought this would be a bad thing but they are a little too loyal to their old customers. I was looking at a car from a guy who lived down the street, took it here to have them do an all over check on it, and they said minor things like it needs a new radiator cap. I was being young and stupid. I bought the car and all of these men lied (including the owner of the car who claimed to be a mechanic) and fooled a 20 yr old girl. This car broke down with serious issues not even 3 months later. I was told by a family friend and mechanic that this car was "rigged" to work temporarily. The mechanics at Starr should have noticed this since it pertained to the radiator hence it needing a new cap. It's a Cadillac with head gasket issues. When I found out I'd have to pay 2000 to fix it I almost flipped out. I tried any cheap fix, bottle of concoction from autozone (this must be what the guy did because it lasted for around the same time before it would overheat again) which I found out that certain ones you put in you will need to replace the radiator cap, funny how I was told I would need to do that.... Long story short, 1 yr and 3 months later I have the car fixed, I'm out 5500 for a car worth 3000 all because these men lied to me. 1. Don't EVER buy a car from the "mechanic" that lives down the street from this shop. 2. If you do buy a car from him, don't bring it to this shop to have them look at it.
Lesson learned the hard way. read more
