Moe the owner is a very nice guy, works hard for his money and to put out a good service to his customers . He helped my girlfriend and I save money on our alignment and while talking about getting new tires he was able to provide better tires with a warranty for the same price as our best quoted price. Good guy, great service. Will definitely be returning and recommending his shop.

Moe was extremely helpful and more than willing to go the extra mile for my fiancé and I. It was fast and easy and very well worth the price of the alignment! He also is going to do a follow up on 2-3 weeks to make sure everything is still great! He even found tires and is going to install them for us on Monday at a better price than everyone else!

Road Star is my go-to place for auto repair. The owner is Moe and he is awesome. They have always done a great job on my vehicles. If you have work done and begin having the same type problems again, even several months after having repairs done there, they will let you bring it right back in and fix at a huge discount. All the employees are nice, courteous, and helpful. They will go out of their way to accommodate you. My experience there was great and I'm sure yours will be too. I highly recommend Road Star Auto to anyone looking to get a car or truck fixed.

Me and my family have been taking our cars to Moe for over 5 years and we see no one else BECAUSE we've been everywhere and not one other person/ place was as honest, quick, empathetic, or as reliable, as this place has been. He is honest about what work needs to be done, he provides photos of things if you need it for insurance and warranties. He provides itemized receipts and transparent prices BEFORE I pay. He doesn't beat around the bush. He has helped me with my kia soul 2016 for roughly 3 years straight each time it's had issues. Finally it needed a new engine entirely and he was able to get me the lowest prices, quickest service, and I had a my car like new in less than 2 weeks. He honors warranties and tells you when other shops have lied to you but he will provide proof. ANOTHER SHOP SCREWED ME OVER WITH MY CATALYTIC converter, and moe was able to find me the right part for less money and a better warranty from the manufacturers themselves. If you are from here or an out of towner needing help, either way, bring your car here if you want to not break the bank or lose your car. Plus the people who work here take the time to ask questions and make you feel listened too.

Moe is awesome. He took my car and fixed it the same day. He stayed past his closing time. His pricing was fair. Thanks so much Moe.

Writing as I’m waiting! Moe was so so kind over the phone setting up an appointment. Exchanging info was fast & easy as a first time customer, price was affordable for a last-minute job, and they have a nice waiting area if you don’t have a ride! I feel welcomed overall & will be sharing this shop with friends & family :)

Great customer service and was honest about the issues for my vehicle. I saw 2 bad reviews posted here. Ignore them, they fit statistically with that small percentage of people you can never make happy. Moe and his team is very professional.

Went in first thing in the morning to get a smog and oil change and was greeted by every person I saw. They took my car immediately and gave me a very short time estimate of 2 hours, which amazingly is how long it took! I have never had such a short wait time for any car maintenance. It usually takes a shop 2 hours to plug in the diag machine and tell you an error code. The price was also extremely fair, far less than any big chain shop even when using 'coupons'. If you are tired of being haggled and conned by the big auto shops and want good, friendly service with the family feel, this is the place to go!

Came here for a smog in 2018 , decent experience, however the last 2 times I’ve been here , it has been a bad experience. First bad experience I had here was when I came in for an alignment, I was told in order to do that , I needed to get axles and motor mounts, then the alignment which would cost me around $3,000 all together or else he won’t do the alignment without those parts being replaced. The last time I came here, was a few months ago , I wanted a smog, I called a different shop down the street thinking it was Road Star, so I explained to the guy up front behind the computer at Road Star that I was told 50$ for a smog over the phone, he said “nope wrong place we charge 65$” , so I told him I rather just go to the shop down the street and save 15$, instead of price matching , he said okay and said “we are the best in town”. Hahaha obviously they are not. If you want to save money for a star smog check station go to smog check Escondido , if you don’t want to get an upsell for your basic mechanic needs go somewhere else where the owner / employees are Genuine people.

I had my girl have her oil change done here and when i tried doing it myself and with another mechanic we both had trouble taling out the filter cause the roadstar mechanics thought it was a good idea to over tighten it and then this guy tried telling me idk what i was talking about he even went as far as to claim he would switch the oil filter for her for the trouble he caused yet here i am with the same oil filter i bought unchanged and still that filter is over tightened. To make matters worse this guy changed one of her belts and guess what he got the wrong one and just slapped it in her car i wouldn’t trust a toyota in their shop. Forgot to mention he also denies seeing the car yet he removed my maintenance required on my car and did nothing about the oil filter . the bar is definitely hearing about this one

Honestly there's no other shop i would trust. This place is amazing! The customer service is beyond grand and everyone is a delight to speak with. Even if it's bad news. They really are passionate about helping the customer and really go above and beyond. From refreshments, to explaining everything in terms a non-car person can understand and just trying to find as many solutions possible with caution not to break the bank. We will always choose this place because they take care of us and the car we drive our family in.

I had an issue with my ADAS and Mo was able to help me out and give me a great deal. After a problem with my insurance I was stressed out but Mo was consistent with his transparency and good customer service. I can tell by being in his shop that the community trusts this business. Thank you, Road Star!

Great service and honest people. I go there from oil, tire maintenance, brakes, overall car maintenance. Haven’t had a problem. Mo is a great guy. Going up and beyond for service like staying after hours so that I can use my truck for work the next day. I trust them with my family vehicle and my everyday work truck to have my vehicles running smooth.

Moe and his team were excellent! My bmw needed to be towed and it was taken to the nearest mechanic in another town. We were quoted a very large amount of things needing to be fixed and a very large amount of billable hours. I called Moe and he took a look at the quote and cut through the BS. We towed it to Road Star and only the items that needed to be done were done for 1/3 LESS! Honest, caring and great work. I will recommend this place to all my friends and family.
