Techstar European Car Masters - Cars - Auto Repair Near Me - Temecula, California

Looked up online various mechanics in this new to me area. I needed an oil service and complete inspection on my Porsche. While running errands, I saw the Techstar Euro Car Masters building. So, I stopped in for a meet and greet and to see the shop. Nice shop, easy to ask person (Amreek) about what my vehicle needed, get a ball park price on that service etc. A few days later I called and set up an appointment. All went great. The pictures of what my vehicle may need down the road, with no pressure or scare tactics and so on, also appreciated. I'll be back with this vehicle and several others in my mix as/when needed. read more

I had an appointment for some repairs on my car and I showed up on time. First, the office is a total dive and poorly maintained. I spoke with the man at the front desk regarding my appointment. He then had me fill out the customary forms that I expected and told me that the "diagnostic" fee would be $195. I agreed and sat in the customer lounge. I waited for some time and then I was told "I'm sorry, but we can't help you today as our technician called in sick". Why did you even have me fill all this paperwork out knowing your employee had called in sick? I then asked if I could come in the next day and I was told no. I was told that they wouldn't be able to assist me for a couple of weeks. Don't go there. read more

Amazing customer service and the owner is very straightforward and knowledgeable. They're not scared to answer any questions you have and will try their best to get you back on the road as soon as possible. read more

Hands down the best repair shop in town. My car needed an engine and Peter got me the best price. Installed the used engine and tested the car before returning it to me. Also fixed several other things that also needed fixed and now the car runs like new. Kept me informed thru out the whole process and let me know when things needed fixed. Highly recommend coming here for all your car needs, trustworthy, friendly and excellent customer service. P.S. Peter is also looking for a mechanic, if anyone is interested. read more

great service ,very nice people. This is the third time I've gone to them and they always do a very good job.

Very knowledgeable and gave me recommendations on my 240d that saved me money. Nice folks too.

I originally took the car in to get an oil change and check the thermostat It's too long to post but it's been a horrible process read more

Techstar is the place to bring your car for many automotive needs. Peter and Johana are such a great team. Peter took the time to explain in detail the necessary repairs for my Mercedes and quoted me a very fair price for the services I needed completed. I received a quick response on my initial inquiry, beautiful and clean office setting, and service was completed in a timely manner. I will definitely be returning and bringing my other vehicles in the future. Highly recommend. read more

Techstar European excellent service and mechanic. Peter the owner very knowledgeable about Porsche cars. Took great care of my Porsche Boxster which had several issues fixed, after sitting for over a year. Techstar's mechanic went above and beyond my expectations. Now it's repaired passed smog runs like a new Porsche Boxster thank you Techstar. read more

Peter is great and will go above and beyond for his customers. They do great work and communicate with you along the way. read more

See all

Came in for a reprogram and they take forever and when I call to see if it will be done by the end of the day they didn't pick up their phone I had to redial several times and when he finally picked up he dismissed me and said he doesn't have any estimated timeframe. And was very rude. Don't waste your time here - update: yes I came in under a different name. Peter was very rude and hung up on me multiple times read more

Honesty and Integrity are what you get here. Do yourself a favor and take your car to Peter and his team before you take it anywhere else. My son blew out his motor and Peter took the time find a used engine with low miles and all was good. Two months later the transmission failed and Peter took the car to the dealership and convinced them to have a new transmission put in under the warranty ( which had expired) for zero dollars out of pocket. Thank you Peter! read more

It's my very first time to try a car shop from taking my MB to the dealership and what a very pleasant experience it was! It was very easy to book an appointment over Yelp and Johana replied very promptly. Her husband, Peter is such an awesome and honest man to do business with. He told me himself that he's not the type who suggests unnecessary parts and repairs and proved that today on my first visit. I did not just save myself from spending too much but also gained a trusted shop that I'm confident in to take good care of my vehicle. I will definitely refer this shop to my friends and family. Thank you, Techstar European Car Masters! read more

I wish I could give Peter 10 stars. I had taken it to Temecula European Auto Shop and they wanted to charge me 10k for vacuum pipes. I had a bad felling about that guy so I called a certified Bentley dealer. They referred me to Peter so I brought it here. Well guess what? Nothing was wrong with it, it just needed to be reset. I'm so happy that Peter saved me 10k. Such a nice guy, great customer service and family owned. I highly recommend this auto shop. Thank you so much Peter! read more

always a great experience. CUSTOMER SERVICE and the quality of work is outstanding. I bring my Mercedes-Benz to them whenever I need any work. An amazing company. read more

Peter and his team of seasoned, real mechanics are simply the best in the Valley for your European car, or any brand really. He is old school, promises on a handshake and very competent and fair with pricing. I would not consider going anywhere else in the Temecula Valley. Thanks Peter and Johana, your customer and friend, Matt (: read more

Do not waste your time here. Called one week prior to bringing my car in and they gave me an estimate on the repairs that needed to be done. I brought the car in, I had to tow it in because it was overheating. Upon arrival the owner was very rude, we checked the car and he said he did not want to be involved in fixing the car. He questioned me about who I spoke to unfortunately I did not get the name (my fault), but he proceeded to bring his two employees over to check the car out. The two employees had burritos in their hands eating while checking my car. He told me to leave with my car and next time make an appointment when the person on the phone had told me to come in and they'd have it done in two days with the quote and everything. The owner then proceeds to saying "we will not work on this car" he walks away from me as he says take it somewhere else I don't want that car here. I told him how sad it was that he could not even get his customer service skills down which he responds to by saying "yeah, we are shit." As he said that another customer comes in and tells me "well he's upset" I talked to the customer and asked him if he had an appointment. He said "no, they told me just to come in" hmmm sounds familiar doesn't it. I wished the guy good luck, but don't come here. No customer service skills at all. read more

Honest work. Honest assessment of the car and would trust don to do the work but it's not worth saving my car because repairs exceed value of the car. Thanks again for the honesty and multiple times he contacted me too keep me in the loop while it was in the shop. read more

Peter and Johanna are such warm people. From my first phone inquiry to meeting them in person, my experience with them was absolutely positive. When I first purchased my used car two years ago, I got a quote from the dealership about all the things that might need work. My starter and battery were two of the things on the list, which they said would need replacing soon. I hadn't experienced anything wrong with the car, and when I took my car to other places for maintenance (oil change, etc), many people would tell me that my battery was in great shape. Still, I'm new to this, and I thought the dealership is where you went you wanted things done right, and they wouldn't have said something was wrong with my car if it wasn't true. (How wrong I was) My car wouldn't start a few days ago, so my first thought was it was the starter or my battery since it was on the to-fix list from the dealership. It wasn't either of those things, it was just a chip in my key that was creating interference, I had a big metal key charm on it from the previous owner. These are very honest people who will not make you pay for something you do not need. When my car was ready on Tuesday, I wanted to get it smogged as my vehicle registration was due on Friday. Peter did a few checks to make sure my car wouldn't fail beforehand and suggested that I drive my car for at least 100 miles to make sure as is well. As I mentioned, I'm new to this, and I didn't understand why but Peter assured me it was in my best interest (he explained why in detail) and that he doesn't do work like that. He didn't want to take a chance of my car failing the smog and having to pay for a re-smog. I waited, came back today, and it passed (just in time). Thank you both for the wonderful experience, I am so happy I found your place of business. They surpassed my expectations, and I'm most definitely keeping my business here. Sincerely, Nina & Shea read more

I just purchased a 2001 BMW Z3 and needed a brake job, oil change, and some minor body work done. I read the reviews on Yelp of some shops in the Temecula area and noticed the Techstar stood out with rave reviews for great service, and customers lauding owners Peter and Johanna for being like Family to them. Upon arriving to Techstar, I first met Neil, who was very friendly and helpful in discussing with me the items I wanted done to my car. I also noticed how organized, professionally run, and clean the shop was. I left my car to be worked on and the next day I got a phone call asking me to give them permission to order parts and do the work. Upon returning to Techstar to pick up my car a few days later, I had the pleasure of meeting Owners Peter and Johanna who are absolutely delightful! While paying my bill (which was very fair for this type of work on a BMW and they gave me a 10% discount for first time customer) Peter and Johanna shared with me how they had come from Lebanon 30 years ago and had made a wonderful life here in the U.S. Their story was very inspirational and a model for immigrants from all over the World. During the conversation, I let them know that my Wife was waiting out in her car for me, so they both came out to the parking lot to meet her and thank her for our business. At this time they proceeded to give both of us a pocket flashlight (for first time customers), AND, even though it was closing time for the shop, they asked their car wash man to grab my car and give it a free wash! I feel very lucky to have taken my car to Techstar. Not only do I now have a great and trustworthy mechanic, I have some new Friends in Peter, Johanna, and Neil! I highly recommend them to anyone and will definitely go back the next time my car needs servicing! read more

We've been coming here for the past couple of years and have never been disappointed. Owner Peter is personable and very helpful as well as the rest of the staff we have interacted with. Service is outstanding. Always easy to get the car in and the turnaround time is quick. Very glad to have this specialized car repair/service biz in town. read more

I just called to ask questions about Volvo - cost to own. And let me tell you, I have never been told such honesty over the phone. Both the lady and gentleman that answered was polite and patient. Thanks for your honesty. read more

Most honest and professional place I have ever taken my BMW. My BMW 550I had very serious running and driving issues, major vacuum leaks and transmission issues. When Micheal and Peter were done, it ran better than when I purchased it. Could not be happier. Will not take my car anywhere else. Thanks for making me feel like family. Karl read more

Best Mercedes repair shop in Temecula...treated like a family each time I been there. Peter is very knowledeable and honest owner...the best team of mechanics. Finally a place I can trust to fix my Mercedes ML350. I don't even have to go to the dealership anymore. read more

I was having a hard time finding someone I could trust to actually complete work on my VW Passat waggon. They were upfront, honest and even told me how I could save myself money by handling some things rather than pay for the labor. Friendly, prompt and backed their work up. I'll be back read more

I was amazed at the service Peter and the guys provided at Techstar. I was having issues filling up the car with gas and after receiving an estimate of $3300 to get it fixed was ecstatic to be told that it would a third of the estimate. They took the time to diagnose what the real problem was and charge me accordingly. If I ever need anything, these are the guys I'm going to. Thanks for the great service, honest quote and incredible experience. read more

I was new in town. Had no recommendations or anyone to tell me where to go. I looked online and found TechStar to have great reviews, so I went. Mr. Peter (Owner) met me and assured me they would diagnose my car as soon as possible. I was concerned with the cost and he could tell. He ran the machine on my car, told me exactly what was wrong and did not charge me! I was so blessed by his generous heart. I took my car back the next week to have it fixed and they did a fantastic job. 9 months later I had a bad axle on my mini-van and was leaving for Idaho in 4 days. They took my car in and fixed everything just in time for my trip. Mr Peter and his wife and ALL the staff are amazing people! It's a family business and you can tell they take pride in their customer service! I am so thankful I have found Techstar and will use them every time I need! Please go to them! You will not be sorry! read more

All I can say is WOW! An absolute god-send this place is. Like others have said, Peter the owner, really has a "father figure" presence about him. MOST HONEST MECHANIC IN TOWN! YOU WONT BELIEVE IT UNTIL YOU SEE FOR YOURSELF! We will be bringing all of our cars here from now on without hesitation. My family has been through a few different "Mercedes specialist" mechanics in the area and TECHSTAR IS THE BEST BY FAR! We have 2 MB's and were tired of the "pressure-up-sell" we were getting at other places. After this last visit to our old shop, we wanted a second opinion to see if our suspicions about another business were correct. After reading all of the great reviews here we decided to give this place a try. Sure enough, Peter greeted us with a smile and treated us like a friend/family member right away. After looking at the car he had us come in and showed us what was going on with car SAVED US MINIMUM $1200!!! I love that he showed us what is going on with the car and had awesome ideas on how we can confirm what is going on before we spend any money on the repairs. Weve never had a mechanic treat us this well, EVER! No pressure at all, super caring, really feel like hes a hard working man who believes in treating others with care, honesty, and respect. After we got in the car we all said "I absolutely love him". Really, this is where you bring you car to get great work, and honest work. read more

very honest owner, straight forward and the technicians are experienced...plus he wont charge an arm and a leg on labor. i would recommend this place to anyone that owns european vehicle. Again thank you Techstar read more

I took my car to Techstar after reading their great reviews and was not disappointed. They are some of the nicest and most helpful people I have ever taken my car to. They are fast, very fairly priced, and I have had no problems either of the times I have gotten my car serviced here. I would definitely recommend this place to friends/family and will return here for future services read more

Best shop I've been to. Mechanic and owner are all very smart. Had a problem that BMW's mechanics could not figure out. They had it figured out with a solution within 5 minutes. I will only take my Bmw here. And very fair prices. Would give this shop 10 stars if I could. read more

Your search for a honest and dependable auto shop starts, and stops right here. I found myself in a panic after purchasing a lease return Mercedes with a small oil leak. Peter was quick to diagnose the problem and ( for the first time in my life ) brought me into the shop to actually show me what was wrong and the parts needed to correct it. Then through no fault of Peter's another engine problem arose and Peter demanded I bring my car back in so he could fix it. And sure enough.... He performed another miracle in completing that repair for an unbelievable price. Ive been to other mechanics and never been treated this fairly. He is honest, hard working and caring and superseded every expectation. If youve been worried that you are at the mercy of your mechanic, worry no more !!! Peter and his crew are the BEST !!!! I am a lifetime customer. read more

Peter was the 4th mechanic I had look at my 2004 BMW. Initially I called him to change my engine out based on what the other 3 mechanics had discovered. One of the previous mechanics I took the car to was the BMW dealership it cost me over $400 to get half a diagnosis. When I called Peter he diagnosed the car with 1/4 of the cost and had the correct diagnosis. The engine was good it actually needed other repairs. I had Peter repair my vehicle, a vehicle I was ready to throw in the towel on. I picked up the car yesterday and it is running like a BMW should run, fast and smooth. In my first conversation with Peter I could just tell he was a cut above all the other mechanics. Thank you Peter for your Professional and Honest business. Not to many of those around. read more

I am new to the area and typically do all of my own car work. I had an issue that I had thought I fixed, but turned out to make it worse (oil drip). Brought it in after talking to Peter on the phone and he assured me they'll take a look and get it fixed. Talked to Neil who I think was one of the head mechanics for about 20 minutes waiting for my car to be dropped off. He was able to diagnose the problem before the car was even there. He called me an hour after drop off telling me the problem. Told him to fix it. He had it done the same day by close. He personally tore the car apart then went to the bmw dealership to pick up my new valve cover and gaskets. All in all I will be going back there for as long as I own any european vehicles! Everyone is extremely friendly and welcoming and Peter definitely understands how to run a business. read more

I have been coming to techstar for over a year now. I can honestly say, i wont go to any other repair shop for my car. The staff is the best. They are honest about their work. The price for their work is fair. Not overpriced. They provide you with the best work. They know me by name, treat me as if i am family. I recommend this shop to everyone. Neil is the best mechanic! Shout out to him! Thank you Techstar, ill see you next time! read more

Have you ever wished you had a mechanic in the family? If you arent lucky enough to have one then having peter and his team at Techstar are the next best thing. You can tell peter and his wife genuinely have your best interests at heart and treat you as if you were a family member. They give you straight up honest information and then give you the best service at an amazing rate. I have always left here feeling happy and lucky to have found such a great shop. Last time I was in i was in such a rush I dropped my car off on empty and i noticed it was filled up halfway when i picked it up. Sweetest people, honest, excellent service, I wont take my car anywhere else! read more
