See what's actually wrong

Every repair gets a photo inspection. We can text or email you photos of the leak, the worn part, the problem — so you see it, not just hear about it.

Estimate first, approval always

You get an estimate before we start, and nothing happens without your OK. No surprise bills.

Sometimes the fix is no fix

If you don't need the work, we'll tell you. We'd rather keep you as a customer than sell you a repair you don't need.

Real people you can reach

A small family shop where you can talk to the owners and the mechanic who worked on your car.

How we work

What honest repair looks like here

Before we start

You see the problem and the price first.

Free inspection · Photos of what we find · Written estimate · Your approval before any work

While we work

We fix what you approved — nothing more.

No unnecessary repairs · No surprise bills · Questions always welcome · Safety-critical vs. can-wait, explained

Watching the bill

We look for the sensible option.

Less expensive fixes when they exist · Price matching · If it's not worth fixing, we say so

A real example

Sometimes the honest repair is no repair

A customer came to us after having a check-engine code read at O'Reilly, expecting to spend around $700 on a part. We checked it ourselves, found the part didn't actually need replacing, cleared the code, and the light stayed off. So instead of doing the $700 job, we told them they didn't need it — and to come back if it returned.

That's the whole idea: we'd rather tell you that you don't need a repair than sell you one you don't. Not every check-engine light works out this way, but every one gets checked properly before anyone spends money.

Fair pricing

Affordable because we run a lean independent shop

Lower overhead

We're an independent shop, not a dealership, so it costs less to run — and we pass that on.

The right part at the right price

We source from several suppliers — O'Reilly, AutoZone, NAPA, Seattle Automotive, and sometimes the dealer — and we price match.

No surprises, and options

You get an estimate to approve first, we look for the less expensive fix, and financing is available through a third party.

Back on the road

We work to get you back on the road quickly

When the repair is straightforward and the parts are on hand, we move fast. Our suppliers can get parts to the shop quickly — O'Reilly sometimes within about ten minutes — and many common repairs are done in about a day. If it's going to take longer, we keep you posted. And if the car can't come to us, we can arrange a tow.

Repair and used cars

We don't just sell cars — we run the shop that checks them

Because we have our own repair facility, we understand a vehicle mechanically before we ever sell it. Our used cars get a multipoint inspection, diagnostics, and any repairs or maintenance they need first. You can talk to the mechanic who inspected the car, see the inspection, or bring your own mechanic. We won't knowingly sell an unsafe vehicle — and financing, a warranty, and trade-ins are available, with servicing after you buy.

Straight answers

If your car's worth fixing, we'll help. If it isn't, we'll tell you.

Sometimes a repair costs more than the car is worth. When that happens we'll explain why, help you separate what's actually necessary from what can wait, and — only if you want — talk through your options, including trading in or finding another vehicle through us. The point isn't to sell you a car. It's to give you an honest recommendation so you can decide.

Why Auto Star

Started by someone who actually loves cars

Before Auto Star, Jabarjeet Singh was a car enthusiast — working on his own cars and helping friends and family with theirs. When he saw the shop come up for sale, he reached out to the owner, Jamey, and bought it. That hands-on, do-it-right approach is still how the shop runs. And because it's a small family business, when you call you can actually reach the people running it.

Our services

Complete auto repair & maintenance

Everything from routine factory maintenance to complex engine and transmission work, and we will arrange recovery if the car will not come to us.

Auto Diagnostics

Warning lights, no-starts, and faults that only happen sometimes. We find out what is actually wrong before anyone spends money on parts.

Learn more

Engine Repair

Oil leaks, misfires, timing components and head gaskets. The work that keeps an engine going, and the honest conversation when it is not worth it.

Learn more

Transmission Repair

Heating & A/C

Blows cool but not cold? Windows fogging in November? Both are the same system, and both are fixable.
