Customer Reviews
Cannot say enough good things about Kevin who runs the shop. He personally attended to my 2002 Mustang GT's problem regarding long overdue replacement of the intake manifold which had been leaking into the coils, spark plugs and culinders for at least 2000 miles and more than a year. His rates are the best, he knows his stuff and he kept costs down while properly repairing the engine. He did thorough work without padding costs, even offsetting extra labor such as flushing out filthy, yellowish, rusty coolant that is supposed to be green. He is my permanent go-to guy now. Car runs like it should at 102,000 miles. My car and I are lucky to have you, Kevin. Thanks so much.
Claim to be STAR certified on the website but then when you take your car to them in person they send you off with a "find someone else" because they actually are not STAR certified. False advertising and bad customer service with a very passive aggressive way to tell a customer to leave. Went to an amazing place around the corner called Smog-It, took them 5 minutes to smog my car and I didn't even have an appointment. Save your money and time and pay an extra 20$ to get your services done from an honorable, real mechanic. Will not return for any services from here.
Needed a smog. Passed the smog no problems. Had a coupon. $48.25 out the door. Took about 15min. Fast, clean, professional, easy to find, easy to park. My first experience there. I'd go back. I'd recommend it.
I had a deep scratch along the length of my car and was just passing through, so I didn’t have much time. By chance, I came across StarTech Auto Repair, where I was welcomed by Kevin. Even though he and his team were busy working, he took the time to address the scratch. The result was far better than I expected. Truly excellent. Kevin is solution-oriented, helpful, friendly, professional, and reliable. Highly recommended!
I have been bringing fleet vehicles to Kevin at star tech for years for their smog tests, and receiving fast and great service. But also bring my personal cars and my families cars for any reason at all. My 1980 Datsun 280Z project car got a lot of assistance from Star Tech. I also have had my 1953 Dodge truck and my wife's Lexus, as well as my 2000 Mercedes that I had help getting out of salvage title status from Kevin. They have great knowledge and do excellent work. Cannot recommend enough!
