My husband took his Bentley to be serviced on January 28, 2021. After receiving a scan from Bentley Gold Coast 1100 North Clark, Chicago, IL 60610 on October 17, 2020. A complete diagnostic was performed providing findings inclusive of a vacuum leak that was causing multiple misfires which is notorious for this 2006 model. Upon sharing the written estimate and report from Bentley Gold Coast, Ronnie assured my husband he would be able to correct everything listed on the diagnostic report consisting of removing the engine and fixing the leak by the firewall. He was given $4K in cash to begin the repairs. After an entire month of the car being at Star Auto and when he was advised he could pick it up, all the problems began. Upon driving away from the shop and approaching Harlem Avenue and Southwest Highway due it not running properly, he immediately pulled in the BP gas station to put in fresh gas and the check engine light came on. Instantly, he headed back to Star Auto with the check engine light screaming in his face. He spoke to Ronnie when he went back to the shop and acknowledged him that the check engine light reappeared and the car was not repaired properly and to return the additional $4500 he paid when he picked up the car minutes ago. He refused for some twenty minutes to return the money with his brother screaming in his ear not to refund him his money. He then informed him if he knew he had to go through this for a difference of $4K with Bentley Gold Coast, he would have let them repair it. In addition, the car was damaged on the top of the roof by the passenger side pillar by the door, the seats were greasy and the door panels dirty on a very light color interior. This is a week later after he returned it from just picking it up. The check engine light is now back on again. He had to reverse the charges on his American Express card with knowledge of what it takes to repair the issues noted to his car. They have no knowledge and little to no experience at all fixing foreign cars such as a Bentley and shouldve informed him they were unable to repair it properly. PLEASE TAKE CAUTION and dont DO ANY BUSINESS with Star Auto at all. He has all the documents and videos to validate this unfortunate situation. The damaged has been reported to police and insurance company. *****PLEASE DONT modify or mask this post in no form. This review and all the contents attached are being closely monitored.*****

These guys are very professional and are the best at what they do. My 2010 BMW 550I had suspension issues. I took the BMW to two other Mechanics in the Chicago land area. Both finished the car and didnt do anything the car was still dropping due to the suspensions. It took Ronnie and the guys not even a day to fix the issue and the car is driving good as new.Thanks Star team! Great team!! Recommended.

I absolutely love Ronnie and his staff…I REFUSE to go anywhere else when it comes to repairs on my BMW X3. I literally pass 6-7 other foreign repair shops but MY LOYALTY IS WITH STAR! I’ll back soon to get rear brakes done!!!

I started coming here based off a recommendation from my chiropractor Sam Jaber. I have been there several times and the prices were responsible and never did I have to wait for hours or the the next day. My appointments were immediate and I was quoted the amount of service before I made the appointment. I just had my brakes repaired and I was in and out within two hours. My experiences have been great and I will continue to do business with them.Ken

This place is really good at what they do and their mechanics care about your vehicle. They come Highly Rated by PowerStop Brakes and do good work. I took my vehicle to Paisano auto shop and they didnt fix the problem. Star Auto fixed all the errors Paisano didnt correct and the errors they made.Labor rates are worth the work that they do. If you want your foreign or domestic vehicle repaired. Go too Star Auto Repair!

Ronnie is the MAN! I took two separate vehicles for an oil change and he took care of each in less then 15 minutes. I must have spent 35 minutes total for 2 oil changes and at a reasonable price. They use quality parts here because BOTH of my cars are running with fluidity and better then when I take my car to the dealership. As for Ronnie, no hoops, no bs, a diagnosis and then talk options. This is a good business and I see why they continue to be successful.

I have been coming here since my first car 2008, for all of my mechanical issues and maintenance. Truly the only people I trust with my repairs, because I know I’m getting genuine car parts and labor. I also love that my car gets done quickly! As that is huge for me, as I only know how to get around using my own vehicle.

Ronnie has made it easy for me to trust auto mechanics again. He never does anything that is unnecessary and always tries to find the best price and deals for me.

I have been going to Star Auto for almost 4 years now and I wholeheartedly recommend them. This is a family run business and they are truly honest and caring people. I have always had excellent customer service and my cars have never run better. Ive taken two foreign cars to them, my Range Rover and my Mini. Saved a lot of money too because they dont pad the bill. I trust them totally and thats saying a lot. They deserve every 5 star review on here.

Referred from a friend. Had a horrible experience with a dealership. Spoke to Ronnie and he was extremely professional and upfront. Set up a tow for me, kept me updated on the problem with my vehicle, and had it repaired in a few hours. All this and prices were a fraction of dealerships. You have a lifelong customer and I will definitely refer others!

I have been a customer of Star Auto since its inception and a customer of the head mechanic since 1998. They have been and still is the best provider of automotive repair services in my life. They have always been able to fix any problem I have had with any car, at the best rates. I have referred over 50 satisfied customers to this business. All of them continues to rave about their experiences with Star Auto.

Review №44

I was referred to this place from people who are loyal customers, but after my experience they will no longer patronize this place. My truck has an aftermarket warranty and needed to have the Hub bearings replaced on the front driver side, I had it diagnosed elsewhere but they were quoting me 2-3 weeks turnaround time because they had so much work. I walked in and spoke to a tall slim guy who was on the phone on hold. He mistook me for another customer and almost gave me the keys to that persons car. After I refused the the keys, a driver from W&W salvage yard came in with a part that theyd request, he had this guy waiting around for 15-20 minutes and then told him that the person it was intended for had left, the W&W driver was extremely upset about this and I can understand why. Finally I was given a chance to explain what I needed, I just wanted to know what the turn around time was and if they worked with aftermarket warranty companies. He told me yes he did but he would have to see the car in order to determine if they deal with the company I have. This left me perplexed as I was unclear why you would have to see the truck in order to determine if you deal with the company and I have all of the information to the company, the warranty itself and a description of what it covers. He wanted me pay for an additional diagnostic fee for them to look at it even after i explained it was diagnosed. I wasnt given an opportunity to have them service my vehicle and I am glad I wasnt this review is based upon the customer service I received and the way the particular person handled himself and represented this business.

Review №46

They don’t even deserve the one star rating! Liars, they messed my car up and kept charging me for things I never needed! Trials and errors!! Charged me for a part that was never replaced, when I went back told them I took it to the dealer and that part was never replaced, Save your money and spare yourselves the headache, take your business elsewhere! When I picked my car up, it was in much worse shape than when I Dropped it off, had to take it to the dealer and that’s how I found out about the part they lied about! Their famous reply to bad reviews are “We werent able to find your name any where in our databas”!

I was told on Thursday I needed a transmission on my Nissan by Nissan in South Holland. I was quoted at 4600.00 but the assessor stated he can get it for me for 3900.00 I left the shop in hopes of calling around. One of my co workers gave me the number to star Auto. I spoke with the gentleman over the phone and he asked did I have a warranty on my car. I told him I did not know. He asked for my VIN number called another Nissan called me back and told me my car is under warranty..I called Nissan back and asked why I was not given this information the assesor couldnt answer but confirmed my Transmission will be free. I want to thank the gentleman I spoke with he was very honest and helpful to me in getting the best deal possible. he could have took advantage of situation but he didnt. I have never been to star Auto repair but I will tell you this his good spirit just gained them a customer😊😊 once again thank you # new customer#star Auto #greatcustomerservice....

I dont have a reason. Just nothing more than I dont like dealing with people more arrogant than myself. Im thinking of opening up my own place Just to to bring these people back down to earth. For your information I left today and your scanner that you said was worth $10,000 I just bought online for 3,200.00 ... if I can afford the car we can afford the scanner. Lmfao.Also everyone if a code trips most auto zones can run the code and reset basics. Dont pay 80.00 for a general scan.

Frank, sounds like you forgot where you might have taken your vehicle for repair ;-) - I have had over 15 cars serviced at Star Auto Repair over the last 2 decades (probably over 200 service records on file) and NEVER had a problem with either the repairs that were done OR the time frame the repairs were promised. It would be good for you to have accurate information before posting and negatively blasting a company online. The mere fact Star Auto doesnt have any record of you or your repairs (I can request my records be pulled from 10 years ago and they have them!) - I would have to question the reliability or accuracy of your complaint. Please be more careful in the future of placing your accusations in writing - it appears you are the one who is not credible here!Drew, it is unfortunate that someone like yourself has taken to hiding behind a computer screen and keyboard utilizing the English language to spew your negative experience with Star Auto online for all to see. Shame on you, you are a coward, a disgrace, and based on your tone, a racist as well. I have been bringing my foreign cars to Star Auto for over 15 years. My entire family has been bringing their foreign cars to Star Auto for 15 years.I have friends who live north of Ohare airport and on the north side of the city who will not trust anyone except Star Auto with their automobiles. Star Auto, a family owned business, has lived here in America for decades. There is something to be said for a family who comes here to America, works hard day in and day out, builds a business and a phenomenal reputation in an industry full of liars and cheats and actually earns their money unlike so many immigrants who come to America and free load off our government.It sounds to me like there is more to your complaint then you are letting on. Why would a company with an impeccable record put their business on the line to cheat one person when they have done right by thousands of customers? Star Auto feeds its family from a business based solely on reputation - seems strange they would put that on the line for you Drew.I would be very interested in knowing more detail behind your accusations. I would expect you could easily respond to my inquiry seeing you find comfort behind a computer screen and a keyboard.I am not a review writer, I dont search the internet finding places where I can leave my mark or my 2 cents but seeing the slander you have sent the world of internet users made my blood boil.I hope your negativity creates an onslaught of positive experiences from real people, people like me who are curious what the real meaning behind your defamation really is.

HORRIBLE,HORRIBLE,HORRIBLE. I RECEIVED REPEATED PROMISES FOR WHEN MY CAR WILL BE COMPLETE, UNFORTUNATELY, ONE WEEK AFTER IT WAS PROMISED IS WHEN I RECEIVED MY CAR. AFTER PICKING UP MY CAR, I STILL HAD AN OVERHEATING ISSUE. WHEN I CALLED THE NEXT MORNING, IT WAS AS IF THEY WERE BLAMING THE ISSUE ON ME FOR THE IMPROPER WORK THAT THEY PERFORMED. I WILL NEVER TAKE MY CAR BACK TO THIS PLACE AS THEY ARE TRULY UNETHICAL, IMMORAL, AND NOT TRUSTWORTHY.
