(Shopped 06/23/26 TU Between 12:00pm-3:00pm): Third time was a charm while buying auto parts all in…read moreone day! I was introduced to TriStar Auto Parts by my family's longtime maintenance man when I was trying to get some repairs done on my 2005 Honda Element aka "The Toaster". He's been here several times before since his mechanic friend has recently been doing some work on his vehicles, one of them coincidentally the same exact model as mine. I wasn't a car guy at all although I appreciated them. However, I never took auto shop in high school, and I've personally only done the bare minimum when it came to maintenance and repairs for any vehicles I've owned. Otherwise, I always took my cars to the dealership or private mechanic and hoped for the best. Now that I had access to a mechanic someone could vouch for, I was ready to give him a shot. But in his case, the client had to supply all of the materials while he provided all of the labor. Would this neighborhood auto parts store be a shining star in my search for items to fix my Toaster!? PURCHASE(S) Rear Brake Lightbulbs ($3.99 x2): Cheap enough and very easy to replace myself! Pre-Mixed Coolant ($15.00): The main reason behind the need for a mechanic to access my vehicle had to do with issues I was having with the thermostat and possibly the radiator. So, I bought this just in case the radiator needed to be topped off or flushed out. I loved that it was pre-mixed versus the non-mixed version I was used to. Coolant Sensor ($28.95): Thankfully, the thermostat wasn't the issue with my vehicle, so we returned that part and got this instead. I guess once you approach 200k miles, this original part has to give out eventually. Basically, the temperature gauge would suddenly shoot to a critically-hot red level while I idled at a stop light or stuck in traffic. This new part fixed that uneasy feeling. Replacement Air Filter ($14.56): Mine was somewhat filthy, so since the mechanic was already under the hood and working in that area of my vehicle, it just made sense to replace it. SERVICE We were immediately greeted by a couple of the workers behind the order counter. Since my maintenance man knew the people, he took over and requested the parts for me each time we were here. Thankfully, they had the parts we needed at seemingly very affordable prices. And when we had to return something because we didn't need it, it wasn't an issue. Everything was straightforward (honestly, everyone's primary attention was glued to the TV while the 2026 FIFA World Cup matches were one - lol) - thank you! PARKING (FREE): They shared a smallish lot with a few other businesses. Otherwise, there appeared to be spots (potentially metered and/or timed so read all posted signs carefully) along the main drag of Sunset Blvd. - 'nuff said. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A somewhat cluttered purely functional and practical warehouse of multiple auto parts organized in aisles, rows, and shelves all behind the front order counter which you couldn't pass. Don't let the aesthetics bother you; it's what kept the rent and prices down. Decent natural lighting entered through the large front door while soul-sucking fluorescent electric ceiling lights covered the rest. There was one TV while Spanish music quietly played in the background. ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL I was very thankful for TriStar Auto Parts being around and nearby for my vehicle repair needs. They carried both original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and similar parts depending on your budget. If I were to have taken the Toaster to the dealership, I could only imagine what they would've charged me! Now, I knew I had a cheaper option both with their prices and my maintenance man's mechanic as my car is over 20 years old. In addition, they seemed to have or, if necessary, could order any part you needed, and the service was friendly, informative, and straightforward. And, I always preferred to support any small mom & pop business. I found total value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $73.00 BEFORE any discounts, points usage, and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 5.0 STARS

Thankfully Tri Star is here! They also have almost any parts you need at a pretty competitive price. The staff have always been easy to work with and most importantly get you the parts you need. The inside is pretty straight forward as far as a counter to ask for parts and one to process your payments. Don't expect your typical Autozone with isles of car care products, this is a no frills pick up your parts and go to work. I always check here before going to the chain auto parts stores. This is a secret gem in East Hollywood for all you DIY mechanics out there!

Testing it was pretty quick and they let me know that it was not in the best shape. Unfortunately, they said they can't change it for me as it needs registration but I'm happy they were able to tell me the status and let me know that I should probably change it within the next 1-3 months. Staff is friendly, bilingual, and do what they can to help you. It's a high-traffic location with lots of people coming in and out on a Saturday at 11am. Store is on a street corner and there's ample parking spaces with entrances on both Sunset and Normandie.

Upside: this one has a much larger parking lot which comes in handy, especially for what I had to return for. This place was busy! I never thought AutoZone would be the place to be, but they had a steady line of customers, with only two employees working at the counter. I had done my research on the proper headlight for my vehicle, and I was pretty sure I had the right one. Once I got to the front, I asked if I had the right one, they took my car information and confirmed. I can't believe bulbs are over $20 now but I don't need to buy them too often thankfully. Well, I stupidly thought I could install this myself but I was 100% incorrect. Even after youtube instructions, I gave up and returned on a Friday night where there was a taco truck outside so this place was still popping. Once I made it to the front, the nice guy said he would be willing to help me but he had to take the line first which is completely understandable. This only took about five minutes, and he was ready to help. Boy am I glad I returned here; this required the removal of the battery (like I'm going to know how to do that). He had all the right tools in his hoodie pocket, so he came prepared. I held my phone light to help the best I could, and once he asked me to start my car, it was a success! I wish I had the guys name, but I know I'll be back since I think they sell batteries for keyfobs, and mine just died... Sure enough, I returned to get the batteries replaced, and Giovanni assisted with this. Found out one of my keys is definitely not functioning properly, but the other is so I only needed one battery. There was no charge, but please tip them for helping if you need this done as well. Super helpful staff here, thank you so much!

I purchased a SubZero product yesterday and was told at this same store that I could return it with the receipt as long as the lock had not been broken. After realizing that I needed to replace my cabin air filter instead, I brought the unused SubZero product back. The lock was still intact, and I had my receipt. Unfortunately, Malvin made the return process unnecessarily difficult. Despite my explanation, he insisted that the product had been used and refused to process the return. I then took it to another AutoZone location, where the staff inspected it and completed the return without any problem. I am disappointed by how Malvin handled the situation, especially since another AutoZone store confirmed that the product was eligible for return.

I didn't want to risk shorting out the lights or anything else so decided to look for headlight replacement. I had no idea that they were so expensive. I shopped around for used ones. I went to a guy who was selling them for 1/2 of what Factory Express was selling them for. But after seeing them in person, did not have a good feeling about the seller or the headlights. So decided that I'll bite the bullet and buy from Factory Express since the guy over the phone sounded like he knew what he was talking about. Upon arrival, the person I spoke with turns out to be the owner Edwin. One look at his shop and I knew that this guy knows what he's doing. He asked if I was looking for just one or a set. I told him that I wanted a set because I wanted them to match since the other one is pretty dull. He said he can buff out the other one to match the replacement. After taking a look at the wiring, he said he can save the headlight. Edwin is honest and I would recommend him to anyone looking for parts. He's passionate about cars and knows his stuff. He'll try to save you money where he can. I definitely would recommend him!
