Fabulous work! What we thought was going to cost me 2000.00 to repair. The mechanic decided to look further into the car problem and it ended up costing me 400.00 to fix it. Wow very honest people. Im a woman they easily couldve took me for my money but their business matters. I will be taking all my vehicles to them.

Long story short, a squirrel chewed on my wire harness causing all sorts of bad symptoms. The head mechanic personally called prior to starting diagnostics and quickly determined from my ramblings what the problem was. I was quoted a price from Sean, and when the repair was successfully completed the final bill came out to be 20% less. 5 Star Auto is an outstanding value.

This business has really fair prices and the owner is very nice. I took my car there when it was overheating and the AC stopped working. He fixed it quickly. A few days later the AC did not work when the car was just in idle. I took it back and he fixed it the same day at no charge, but 3 days later it is now only working when driving. I hope he will fix this problem again because it is freaking hot where we live.

This place is great. I was so happy I read the reviews. Small little shop, very affordable with knowledge mechanics. I appreciate the work they did so much. I have a Volvo s6 and I knew the price would be hefty as I got quoted several different places for a new timing belt/water pump (over 1000) which is crazy BUT this place fixed my timing belt,water pump, camshaft, serpentine belt, air filter and checked my transmission fluids that other places wouldn’t even look at (because it requires special tools) all for $860. Such a blessing during these times. Shawn was so sweet and will be definitely be coming back here for any future repairs! My car drives so healthy again!

I called to ask for guidance over the phone, they provided answers to my questions and I felt comfortable enough to bring in my vehicle. They did the work necessary to repair my X5 and were very professional throughout the process. The best part of the experience was seeing them work together as a team and them following through with the numbers discussed prior to bringing in the vehicle. Great experience overall!

I was so happy with my experience here! I came in and told them my check engine light had come on and I needed my truck in driving condition. They went over everything that was wrong and what was necessary to fix now. They called me anytime there was either a hitch or when they found something else important to fix and worked so well with my limited budget! As soon as my next paycheck comes Im going straight back here to get my truck in for its final repairs, thank you all so much!

I called this shop after calling 5 other places in Fresno. Because of my lack in car knowledge they all tried to price gauge me. But not 5 star auto. They did not try to overcharge me at all. Don’t let the managers voice throw you off. He is very professional and friendly. My first visit here I had a broken window regulator and I didn’t even know what it was when I brought it in. The mechanic explained to me what I needed and the manager told me exactly how much it would cost for the part, repairs, and installment. My second time coming here my car was sounding weird when I tried to start it up. I brought it in and the mechanic immediately told me it was the battery. He also ran a full diagnostic just to be sure I didn’t need anything else. Again the manager looked up a new battery for me and within the hour I was on my way. I have been to 5 star auto twice now and I definitely won’t be going anywhere else in Fresno. Great speedy service, knowledgeable mechanics, and honest men.

I took my vehicle in for an oil leak and they were able to diagnose it and get the parts right away. I ended up having to have several things repaired, you know how one leads to another, but they took pictures and sent them to me and kept me informed the whole time. And, they are ASE certified. The manager even gave me a discount because it took 2 days to do all the work and he wants to ensure his customers are happy so they will return. I will take all my vehicles there from now on.

Review №17

The owner shawn lied to me 4 × times. Telling me one thing then denied saying it. I will never use this business. In the future. After a bad encounter over the phone. I decided to talk in person. The owner confronted me as I arrived. After a lengthy talk . He refunded all money I gave as a deposit $500. For a $1600. I give a 1 star for returning my money. But no star for over charging for things that didnt need replaced I took jeep to another repair shop to have him see whats wrong. He estimated half the cost that 5 star estimated.

This shop exceeded my expectations. They were very nice, both the boss and the mechanic helped me out and got me in and out in an hour! They explained to me everything that was wrong with my car and showed me what they did to fix it. I will definitely be going back to them if I ever need work done on my car.

This place is amazing! I thought it was going too be a huge expensive fix.. the mechanic looked under the hood and immediately found the issue! He replaced the blown motor mount, now my car purrs like a kitten! Thank you all so much. Also, they don’t mark up the prices on the parts! I’ll be back here for sure!

Friendly service. The service tech waited to have his break to diagnose my car. Took the time to show me visual signs of the cause of the problem. Having to order parts and wait for them to arrive, my car was still fixed before noon next day. Thank you 5 Star Automotive.

They were accommodating and quick to fix my issues. Their price is right in line with what I would expect the work to cost if not a little bit cheaper. These guys are probably my go to for most repairs I care not to do myself from here on out. Thank yall again, I appreciate your help.

I needed to service my transmission and they did the service. They replaced the filter and my truck feels great. I went there because a friend of mine took his van to them for some repairs and I went over the service invoice and felt that the prices and the time he was charged was fair and they didn’t tried to rip him off. When we picked up the van the auto technician came out and explained what he did to the vehicle. I highly recommend this automobile shop.

My wife and I went to this garage with a European, right hand drive Fiat Ducato panel van with suspension problems. Daniel and Sean worked tirelessly to source parts and find the right people to make what was not available. Great service done extra quickly and with no warning of us coming. A great team, we were very happy with everything that they did for us and strongly recommend them!!!

Out of all the auto shops in this area, 5 start auto repair & smog had the cheapest diagnostic and the money used for the diagnostic also went towards repairs saving me extra money.I had excellent service. I received calls updating me on the progress of the repairs. I got my car back within a few hours fixed.This place is great and would recommend it to anyone who is having car troubles.

I had a water pump failure and a bunch of dry rotted hoses. 5 star smog and repair took care of everything and did it quick. Didn’t cost me a fortune and even cleaned up the engine bay a bit. Would definitely recommend them and will be back if I need any repairs in the future! Thanks guys!

Great Service! After pretty much getting scammed at another mechanic I gave this place a try and I was really impressed by the service we received. They gave us an honest evaluation on our car and the final price was less than the initial estimate which my wallet enjoyed.

This is one of the few places that can charge you a flat rate for diagnostics. They took the time to throughly inspect my ac and left great notes on what is needed for repairs. This is one of the most honest auto shops in town. You definitely should come here if you need something done.

I was so happy that I was accommodated so professionally and they took my car in so quickly. My AC went out during 105F temps just before my 87 yr old mother would visit and they took care of it for much less than another local chain quoted me! I bragged about the care and service I received to my coworkers and friends and have been giving out business cards. I’m so thankful someone told me about 5 Star!

I called Five Star Auto Repair at 3:00pm on a Friday afternoon with an issue related to my vehicle’s charging system. After being disappointed in the local GMC service dept (they said they couldn’t help me until Monday),Shaun and his team were quick to provide service and quickly diagnose the problem as a battery issue. They replaced the battery quickly and we were back on the road by 4:30!!! Thank you to 5 Star Auto for saving the day!!! They provide fair, reliable and competent service with a great attitude!!!

I highly recommend this place! Sean was extremely friendly and helpful and the pricing was more than fair. They were able to take care of my car within a few hours and even knocked a little off the labor cost. I brought it back in the very next day to complete the smog check and that took all of about 20 minutes and was $10 cheaper than the place next door. I will be coming here from now on.

Review №59

Did not feel welcomed, felt like the transaction as rushed, I was called 20 mins before closing telling me if I dont get my car it will have to stay all weekend, was told that I needed a hub assembly and catalytic converter when both tested positive days before and hours after going to this shop. The $85 I was charged technically is fraud based off the false information I was provided, now I still have the same issues but now with less money to feed my kids.

I do a lot of websites for shops around California, and even though Shawn decided he didnt want to use my service at this time, he was a complete professional about it and was a pleasure to work with. I cannot comment on his automotive repair work because Ive never had my car serviced here, but from what Ive read from these reviews he seems to be great at his job.

Very nice people!!! I went to other places to get my brakes checked because my car would start rolling, with my foot on the brakes, at a red light or stop sign.

The owner is an honest man. When Ive had to make decisions about my car and how to fix it he and the head mechanic have always laid my options out clearly and worked with me.The guys in the shop are knowledgeable and have always done a good job getting my car back on the road.

Best place in town hands down. They really try to help you with your personal situation. Sean worked with me and got me a price I was able to afford to get me back on the road. They did a real solid job and even did some extra work for free on my bumper. I really appreciate the guys at 5 star.

Wonderful experience! I have a classic honda that needed a lot of major work to revive back to its original luster. Given the limited parts available to fix my car, they did an amazing job sourcing the right parts. Even when certain parts were faulty, they went out of their way to fix it, free of charge! Thank you!

My wifes Suburban was overheating on our way out of Yosemite and was leaking coolent. It was clear we werent going to make it back to L.A. without help. I called 5 Star Repair, explained our situation, and told them I was 5 miles away. When we arrived, they stopped working on another vehicle to work on ours. They showed me a big crack in the radiator and had a new one delivered, installed, and tested all within about 2 hours. They were even going to drive my family to a hotel nearby if the new radiator didnt arrive quickly. They treated us like gold. I will never forget the outstanding care and customer service we received. Thank you for keeping my family safe. We made it home the same night at 9 pm thanks to their attention and efforts.

Replaced the ac compressor with freon recharge for a lot less than what the firestone asked for!! The ac has been working great since the replacement.

I took my car in for oil change and hissing break pedal. They told me that my break booster is bad, but instead of charging me $500+, they gave me information from Ford saying that they have called break booster out on my model of car as a campaign and should fix it for me at no cost. I called local Ford service and they are resisting, so Ill call Monday to their corporate office. If they dont honor the campaign, Ill let the honest guys at Five Star repair it! These are people you can trust to not rob you blind.

I was wanting to take the car in to have the ac compressor replaced. They want to charge an extra $120 to check it apart from the replacing of compressor. If they are going to do the work why should have to pay an extra $120? That is ridiculous

Review №92

Took my 2012 Chevy Equinox because the engine light had came on. The service was friendly and I did not feel like I was being taken advantage of when it came to pricing ( as sometimes I do walking into a mechanic alone and being a girl) . After researching how much it should be to fix the problem they were on the lower end of the price range for both the diagnostic check and fixing the problem! They took their time to explain everything to me and didnt mind questions. The mechanic even brought me a water! Which was very thoughtful! Me being 9 months pregnant! Overall excellent service and I will be going back!
