What Our Clients are Saying
Never before have I met mechanics who talk you out of doing work because you don't need it. Tony, Danny, Jimmy and the rest are characters who know their craft. I've brought my last three cars to them and find them to consistently be the best there is...honest, fair, and good at what they do. Not many mechanics you can say that about.
Got car problems? Do yourself a favor and call Five Star.

I had a good experience in December with a minor issue before a trip to the desert, and Five Star helped me out quickly when I was in a tight spot, so I came back for a different request on another vehicle. Their clientele shows they are a popular shop in Poway. I scheduled an air-bag assisted suspension install with Five Star: Daniel estimated my project, and Tony scheduled my appointment (they were swamped!). The work was completed on time, and Jim processed my invoice and answered any questions I had about the completed work. Inspection showed the work was done right to spec, with great fit and finish, andattention to detail in problem areas where motion or temperature may affect the performance. I got a fair book time for my project, and as a result, have chosen Five Star for other work on my family's automotive needs. OUTSTANDING!

I took my truck to Five Star for an alignment before heading up to Utah and they discovered a bad axle. Not only did they properly diagnose the issue but Jim the service manager used his contacts at GMC to research the warranty for me and get the work done at GMC the next day for free. These guys know how to take care of their customers!

I brought my 15 year old sons first car here a few months ago. 2002 Chevy camaro z28. The serpentine belt kept coming off and didn't know why. These guys figured it out fix the problem and did it cheaper than any other shop in a 10 mile radius! All in 1 day! Quick great work super nice guys! Hard to come by honest mechanics But these guys are definitely trustworthy with my wallet and my sons car.
Thanks fellas!
