Orting drivers deal with river-valley damp and a lot of gravel shoulder. We check underbody corrosion and suspension bushings closely on cars from the valley.
Auto Repair for Orting Drivers
Auto Star is in Graham, about 10 miles from Orting, usually around 17 minutes. The way over is east on 224th, then north on SR-162. Cars come in to us from Downtown Orting, Calistoga, Orting Valley, and Crystal Ridge, and we've gotten to know a few things about how vehicles from that area hold up.
Orting sits down in the river valley, and that means damp air a good part of the year, plus a lot of gravel shoulder along the roads out that way. We see it in the cars. Underbody corrosion shows up earlier on vehicles that live in that valley than it does on cars from the higher, drier parts of our service area. We also pay close attention to suspension bushings on Orting cars, since gravel shoulders and the driving that comes with them wear those out faster. If your car does a lot of miles on the roads near the Foothills Trail or out around the valley farms, it's worth having those checked even if nothing feels wrong yet — bushing wear is quiet until it isn't.
We're a small shop. Jabarjeet Singh handles A/C and electrical work, his brother Gurjivan handles car sales, and on the floor you'll usually see Tony Sindhu on diagnostics, engines, transmissions, brakes, oil changes, and light body work. Nobody here is hard to find or hard to talk to about what's actually wrong with your car.
We're open Monday through Friday, 9 to 5. If you work during the week, call ahead and we can plan the drop-off so you're not losing more of your day than you have to.
We opened in November 2022 after buying the shop from the previous owners, and we've built up a decent number of reviews since then — currently sitting around 4.8 to 4.9 stars on Google from about 110 people. If you're driving in from Orting for the first time, call ahead at (253) 375-7057 and we can tell you roughly what to expect for your particular issue.
