Used them for over 20 years. Great staff. Service.

Brought my 1994 Ranger in for some AC work thinking it would never blow cold air again in its life. They made a quick repair and now its back to original performance! Oh and their vehicle inspection through a text app is awesome too!

I have been taking my vehicles to Steve and his team since 2010.1997 Honda Accord2006 Ram 15002016 Hyundai Accent2017 Hyundai Elantra2011 Land Rover Range Rover SuperchargedHe has worked on all of the vehicles listed above and has always done a great job and communicates what is crucial and what we should monitor over time until needs repair.

Make Star has always treated me with honesty and respect. They are wonderful people and will tell you the truth about whats wrong with your car. Thank you MS. 👍😁

I really trust Steve and his crew. They are very honest and will not try to sell you something you dont need. They now do an inspection of your vehicle and you decide the issues you want fixed. No high pressure. Very friendly staff. I highly recommend this place!

Took my 06 Accord to these guys and they were able to diagnos and repair it. The dealership had been missing it for over a year.

Great Auto Repair Shop! I have been taking my cars here ever since I started driving. I have been driving for 10 years (legally) now and I havent found a better quality shop than Makestar. Everything from the knowledge they offer to the price of their work, all around I know I can count on them. Steve Sr. (and Jr.) are amazing to work with. Ever since I was a kid driving Sr. kind of taught me a little bit about cars (albeit because I had to bring my car in to learn :p). Honestly the best way to describe it is I feel like Im taking my car to another family member, not just a mechanic. I love this place and as long as Im in the area, I will always go here. Ive referred other friends here and they wont go anywhere else either. You wont be disappointed.

I have taken 2 of our vehicles to Make Star Automotive. I have been pleased with there service and above all the honesty. Several times they have helped me in the parking lot with warning sensors and sent me on my way without charge. Very helpful.

The Sauls family are great people to do business with. Always fair pricing, detailed explanation of the work which needs to be done and suggestions on best ways to get the repair done as inexpensively as possible. I will not take my cars anywhere else. They are the best! No hesitation to recommend them to anyone who is looking for a great repair shop.

Outstanding service, high integrity accompanied with extensive knowledge and practical know how.

Simply the best auto repair in town.. If your looking for an honest repair see the folks at Makestar Auto Ive been doing business with Steve 12+ after moving from San Diego. Its was difficult finding a great repair shop, well Im happy now!

I was in there yesterday for my starter motor to be replaced. I’ve also had an axle, clutch, alternator, water pump done over the years. My car has 267k miles and that is in huge part due to their repairs. Steve Sr. the owner, KNOWS how to run a business, and understands how cars work! It’s a family run business and I cannot say enough good things about them. In 10 years of dealing with them, they are by far my favorite in the Temecula Valley. The best part? They are honest, reviews speak for themselves.

First let me say Ive been bringing my vehicles to Makestar for a few years. I got their info from friends who bring their cars there. I never had a bad experience. They do decent work, for slightly less than the dealer. Last week I took my BMW there, and dropped over $1000. A couple months prior to that my Hyundai was there and I spent more money with them. All good. A couple weeks ago I called them and spoke with Steve on pricing for a roof rail install on my new Acura. Steve, called me back with a voicemail saying $700 out the door taxes paid, for an OEM rack. I called Steve back, got and appointment, and this morning took the car in to get the job done. When I went to pick the car up, they presented me with a bill for $1200. When I told them Steve had quoted me $700, they called him. Steve came in, called his parts dealer, and told me the part lists for $650 and out the door my cost is $860.00. I had Steves voicemail to me saved, and let them hear the quote he had given me for $700. Anyway, so now their price had gone from $1200 (still dont know why they wanted to overcharge me so much) to $890 ($190 higher than his original quote, and $90 higher than Acuras quote). Now my mistake was, in the morning when I signed the work docs, somewhere in there was the full price of the part. Yep, I signed for $1200. My bad. Early morning, Id left my readers in the car, had 2 kids with me, work on my mind, and could barely make out any fine print on the quote. So I signed. I also trusted them, as I really had no reason to think they would charge me anything different from what Steve had originally quoted me. At the end, I ended up paying them $860 and getting my car. Steve claimed he had made a mistake. I cant believe that. First, everyone knows they dont pay list for a part. If the part costs $650 list, he has plenty of room to accommodate me. Originally when I spoke with him I explained I could pickup the part for $440 on-line, he sharpened his pencil and quoted me $700 out the door. Then I made the mistake of signing for the higher price. Granted he did drop his final price from $1200 to $890 (I guess he couldve nailed me for the full price). But what a joke that he would even jack up a price that high to begin with. Is that really an honest price for this job? The worst part of this is I have 4 cars, each of which has been to Makestar for work. Each of my cars would have gone back to Makestar for more work, but now I wont be going there again. For $190 he loses a very nice amount of business for quite a few years to come, from a local customer. Bad business. Makestar loses.

I was referred to Makestar by a friend and am forever grateful! Great service, friendly mechanics and great fair pricing. I now consider them my mechanic!

Family owned and the nicest people! Honest and fair. Took my van in for overheating problems. Thought it would cost me around $255 dollars but was less than $200. 8 out of 10 times I have been ripped off (because I am a women) and they are one of the two who are honest. I recommend them to anyone needed their car repaired or serviced.

Quite possibly the best auto repair shop Ive ever seen! Im from out of town: I was on the road and my car was acting up. They squeezed me in last minute and diagnosed the problem I was having. Their customer service was top-notch. They were friendly and everything was explained in detail. Their prices were very reasonable. I highly recommend you give Makestar a try! They will save you time and money!

Not to often you find a mechanic that actually looks for less expensive ways to fix a problem. They are always honest, and very reasonable on pricing. Wouldnt go anywhere else.

These guys are really honest and are not pushy about what services you need done on your vehicle. They will let u take your time weighing your options before doing the work on your car and will only do the work you agree to. No more, no less. I got an entire used engine put into my car and it did take awhile but it was done right.

I took my car to Makestar Automotive to get a second quote for some work I needed done. They gave me a great deal, were honest with me, and even helped me with a ride home when they kept my car overnight. Ill definitely be returning!

This is my go to auto shop when I need any work done on one of my Honda vehicles. The owner is really nice, honest, and does good work.

Just got my Expedition back from Make star. Steve Sr. is the master mechanic who treats people well. Huge thanks to Mary, Kenney and Jake for being such a pleasure to deal with. Fair pricing, top notch customer service!

Its been years but they did a swap for me in my 93 Civic Hatch, came out flawless, drove the car for an additional 2 years and sold the car no prob, always passed smog and ran great, thanks guys!

Saved us tons over the dealer! Months later our mini van is still running perfect. A+

I feel so lucky to have found a mechanic I can trust. They are honest! I highly recommend them!!!!! Makestar is awesome!!

Family business. Fair, friendly knowledgeable.

Knowledgeable & fair pricing; no more dealerships for me!!

I recommend Makestar to my friends and family. I trust them.

Very dependable shop

Great service.
