“Brian, Ivan and the team at Blu Automotive have always been incredibly welcoming, honest, and willing to go above and beyond. I really appreciate how they work with your schedule and make the entire process as easy as possible.
My most recent visit was unexpected, but the team kept me updated throughout the entire process. The mechanics even sent me videos showing what they found, contacted my warranty company directly, and were able to get everything taken care of and get me back on the road within a day.
That level of communication, honesty, and customer service is hard to find. I highly recommend Blu Automotive to anyone looking for a shop they can trust!”
“After returning from a cross-country trip to the East Coast and back I decided my 2005 car needed new struts and shocks. Especially in the East Coast with all the bumpy roads there it was banging like crazy. Not so bad out here in the west coast where the roads don't get as bumpy and potholed ( because we don't have the cold weather,) but I still wanted to do new struts for preventive maintenance.
So I checked around different places to see how much they would charge me just for labor and Ray came out with a VERY LOW OFFER of $240. I wasn't going to argue with that, so after receiving the struts via eBay I brought them to Ray, and he did them very quickly. He knows all the expert shortcuts.
However, I wonder if he has a memory issue or if this was just something he decided to circumvent. Cuz when I went to pay, the price was now $340. Even at $340 that would still be the lowest price offer. I was actually planning on giving him a nice tip but since he jacked it up $100 I decided to pay that price without arguing.
I also asked him to let me know if he saw anything underneath that I should be concerned about. He didn't have any suggestions after the job was done and after taking it for a test drive. It was actually Ray's grandson who gave me a subtle tip about changing my tires. The grandson must have noticed my two tires on the passenger side were getting bad. I had not noticed it because the wear and tear was on the inside that you wouldn't see unless you got underneath a little bit.
I had noticed the weird wonkiness and vibrations & wasn't sure what that was all about. The new struts and shocks helped it a little bit, but it was still vibrating & getting worse. So after leaving there a few days later I had other things checked out elsewhere and then I noticed how bad the two tires were. I appreciate the grandson's advice.
But why didn't Ray give me a STRAIGHT HEADS-UP about that ? He must have felt it when he took a test drive as well. When I saw the tires especially after they had been taken off, anybody would know these were REALLY BAD. And since he was underneath, I would assume he would have noticed that, especially if the grandson had as well.
I'm not too proud to admit I need all the help I can get when it comes to auto repair. I'm the first one to admit that I learned a lot in college that has NO PRACTICAL VALUE for everyday life. And my dad being of the same ilk, was NEVER able to teach me anything practical. I was never taught anything about anything practical growing up, and I just keep learning little by little as I as I go.
Otherwise, mostly good experiences with Ray ?”
“My mom had just bought a used Porsche Macan S and took her car here to get a full blown service. Some shops in this case would take advantage of somebody who does not know what would or wouldn’t be wrong with their car. everyone’s garage is different. They genuinely care about every customer and explain to them what’s needed why it’s needed and why what is not needed what’s recommended and more if you have a Porsche/euro car you value take it here. Do yourself a favor and take it to a place that’s family owned, transparent, and one that will make sure your car is going to run as long as it can.”
“Hands down the best shop for getting any work for tires! My first time there was a night where I got a flat tire at almost midnight and this place was able to get my in and sent me on my way with a new tire tire that night. Came back the next day and purchased 4 new tires for a great price. Any time, including yesterday, that I've needed anything for my car, I COME HERE!!”
“I had a great experience at Silver Star. James and Jesse were incredibly friendly and helpful. The soft top on my 2018 E400 was stuck, and within a few minutes they were able to diagnose the problem. I'm very glad I found these guys and plan to take my and my wife's cars to Silver Star from now on.”
“I had a really great experience with this car service. I was running late, but Paul was incredibly helpful and made sure I was taken care of right away without making me feel like I was inconveniencing them. They went out of their way to help me, quickly figured out the issue I was having, and got it fixed much faster than I expected. I really appreciated how friendly, professional, and willing they were to help from the moment I walked in. I left feeling relieved and genuinely impressed with the quality of service I received. It’s not often you come across a business that makes you feel like they truly care about helping you, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for honest, reliable, and exceptional car service.”
“I sent in my 2007 zo6 in for an engine head rework as well as a Dewitt’s radiator/fan setup installation, and the results are flawless, Kohle and his staffs are professional and informative. They are the guys to go to if you need any work done on your corvettes. 11/10 service 👍”

“Great place to have your car serviced. Gene is very knowledgeable and helpful! He exclusively uses only the real original parts. No cheap aftermarket stuff here.
I had my car completly serviced there. He did a great job! Runs like a brand new car.
While I was there I watched Gene rebuild a 5.0 Ford engine and
I would highly recommend him!”

“I have had the most amazing experience with H-1 they fixed my transmission with my Dodge Journey and even offered service discounts for other services. I’m so happy and grateful for their services. Thank you!”
“Took my truck here for an alignment, previous alignment shop said “ that’s the best we can do” and my truck still pulled right and the steering wheel was not centered. Gabe put it on the rack, did his adjustments and it was driving straight and the steering wheel was centered again. Very professional, great service. I will be recommending his shop to anyone who needs an alignment.”
“We highly recommend Ted and the entire team at this location. My husband is a stage 4 cancer patient and our transmission on our Hyundai Tuscon needed to be replaced. Their repair estimate was free and their quote was very fair. He even helped us with financing. He treated us with respect and compassion and dignity. Their professional integrity shines through from start to finish.”

“I appreciate Adam and his team! I just purchased a 2008 Toyota 4Runner with older tires in the front while the back had 20K miles remaining. Adam found the same Falken Wildpeak tires that were close to new. Saved over $125 per tire and now all 4 match.
Also got our brakes replaced at an extremely competitive price per axle. None of the BS about paying for labor and resurfacing. These days a full rotor and pad kit plus installation is less expensive and gives you longer life.
So nice to have a high quality local business that gives excellent service and straightforward advice. I highly recommend Rolling Tires & Wheels.”
“I bought a 2013 Volkswagen CC that wasn’t running. Took it Eric it ended up being the timing chain. Eric gave me a great price and was always very responsive. But I also bought the car not knowing the other issues it might have. Eric was recommended some other repairs. I took his advice. He did a great job. When I got the car back Eric told me drive it around and if there were any issues just give him a ring and he would take care of it. 4 stars cause it took a little longer than expected. But Eric was very responsive. Not once did he dodge one of my texts or phone calls.”
“I was referred to Ramiro through a family friends who’s been doing business with them for years. First I took my Ford Econoliner and Ramiro worked it very quick because I needed the car but he told me to bring it back to do major work on it. Second, I took my 2015 Accord to him and he had me on the road within in 25 minutes with minor fix the car. I recently brought my Accord for check engine light and oil change. He replaced the oxygen sensor and oil change within 1.5 hours. Ramiro and his team are extremely professional and honest. He is not one of those mechanics that runs the bills on diagnostics and then fix them. I would definitely recommend his shop for all your car problems.”
