Elk Plain sits on the same stretch of Meridian we do, so most customers here drop the car and walk home or get picked up in five minutes.
Auto Star, serving Elk Plain
Elk Plain is about 4 miles from our shop on Meridian E, roughly an 8-minute drive north to south depending on where you are. If you're near Elk Plain Elementary or over by the Meridian Habitat Park trailhead, you're on the same stretch of Meridian we're on, just further down it. That's worth knowing because it changes how you handle drop-off. A lot of Elk Plain customers just leave the car and walk home, or have someone swing by and grab them five minutes later. You don't need to plan your whole day around getting a ride back.
We also see cars from up and down the Kapowsin Highway corridor and off 224th St E. Nothing unusual about how those cars wear compared to the rest of our customers, but the drive is straightforward either way: Meridian E the whole way, no back roads or shortcuts needed.
We're an independent shop, family run, bought by the current owners in November 2022 — Jabarjeet Singh handles A/C and electrical work, Gurjivan Singh handles car sales. The front desk writes up service. Tony Sindhu is our lead mechanic for driveability, engine, transmission, and diagnostic work. He also covers brakes, oil changes, and light body work. We're small enough that the owners are usually on the floor, not in a back office somewhere.
We do routine maintenance, brakes, engine and transmission work, electrical diagnostics, heating and A/C, exhaust and emissions, battery work, check engine light diagnosis, and oil changes. If a repair is going to take a while, we'll tell you that up front rather than guess low and make you wait around.
We're open Monday through Friday, 9 to 5. If your week is tight, call ahead and we'll help you find a time that works. We also speak Punjabi if that's easier for you.
Google has us at 4.8 to 4.9 stars across around 110 reviews. Call us at (253) 375-7057, or just drive the eight minutes up Meridian and drop the car off.
