Steve is a straight up guy, very honest! We sent my son's SUV in for a noise we thought was a CV joint, but turned out to be a serious engine issue. My son is a college student in Gainesville and does not have the funds for big repairs. Steve informed us of what was going on which was not worth fixing, did not charge us for his diagnosis and even offered free oil to help get the vehicle along, which lasted him a other couple of months. After that, we purchased an new vehicle for our son and Steve refered us to a great VW shop to handle that car's service needs. Can't say how much we appreciate Steve's time & honesty. Thank you!

Great auto repair shop—honest, skilled, and fairly priced. I highly recommend getting your automotive repair done here. They were very thorough, explaining what was needed immediately and what to plan for down the road. Unlike many other shops I've visited, I never felt talked down to or mansplained to as a female customer. The staff here is very respectful and will clearly answer all your questions in as much detail as you want.

I've been going here for the last few years and its always been a wonderful experience. Steve and George are always so friendly and knowledgeable and return my car quickly and efficiently. However, after my most recent visit, I learned that they got rid of their student discount and I was met with a higher labor fee charge than what I remember. Its unfortunate but I think I need to reconsider my go-to for the future.

Got a “tune up,” after which a series of things started to fail in my car. Causation? Correlation? Who knows, but it is striking. Some things, like a cap left untightened, were clearly their mistake. The engine oil nastily dirty and low just a few months after the change? That also raises a red flag. It’s strange because all the other reviews are so positive.

I went in because one of the terminal ends of my car was really oxidized and I couldn’t fix it myself. The person that helped me was really attentive and took care of the issue in less than 10 minutes. Service, efficiency and quality. 100% recommended!

Steve at All Star Automotive was able to resolve and help fix the issue regarding my 2014 CRV door lock actuators. He was even able to recommend me to another local company who could help regarding different issues in my car. I’m very grateful for his help!

Steve is great, so are his guys George and JD. I trust them over everyone else with my wife’s and my Toyotas.
Lots of knowledge here, and they don’t try and empty your pockets for no reason.
They use high quality parts and fluids only, and are very reasonably priced.
10/10 recommend

Steve turned off my check engine light, and since there was no real problem, he didn't charge me. He was also very quick, he got back to me about an hour after I dropped off the car.
I'm very grateful and would recommend to anyone in Gainesville, especially people living near campus!

My sister went here during her college years and highly recommended it, and after one visit I decided to do the same. Steve always was honest with me and I felt like I had options and could think through things before they got done. When I moved to a different state he told me I could always call him if I had questions about repairs. Very caring people here. Thank you for years of help, Steve!

I needed a serious transmission rebuild and they did a great job. I was told that it would take about a week, and they stayed late the night before to get it programmed and make the deadline. That was a huge help since it's my only car to get to and from work. I put 100 miles on the car the day I got it back from them and it worked perfectly. I do most of my own work, but a job like this was way out of my league, so I had to trust them. I wasn't disappointed.

Was having trouble with opening the hood of my car (it's old) for oil change. They took it in right away - even though they were busy -and fixed it for free with a bit of love (Tire plus was 'offering' 450 $ for it). All star is now my mechanic

My husband and I moved from the Midwest to Gainesville while I was in grad school, both with hand-me-down vehicles, and we were so lucky to have found Steve while we lived there. It always felt like I was taking my car to my dad - knowing he would give it to me straight, wouldn’t try to upsell me, and have it fixed and ready to go within the day. We left Florida over 5 years ago, but we randomly thought of Steve the other day and I figured I would leave a review to share our great experience. Thanks Steve!
