Star Tech Auto Repair - Santa Barbara (CA)

5 /5 kathren almaguer: Needed a smog. Passed the smog no problems. Had a coupon. $48.25 out the door. Took about 15min. Fast, clean, professional, easy to find, easy to park. My first experience there. Id go back. Id recommend it.

1 /5 Sambhav Jain: Claim to be STAR certified on the website but then when you take your car to them in person they send you off with a "find someone else" because they actually are not STAR certified. False advertising and bad customer service with a very passive aggressive way to tell a customer to leave. Went to an amazing place around the corner called Smog-It, took them 5 minutes to smog my car and I didnt even have an appointment. Save your money and time and pay an extra 20$ to get your services done from an honorable, real mechanic. Will not return for any services from here.

5 /5 Pieter Kuijpers: I had a deep scratch along the length of my car and was just passing through, so I didn’t have much time. By chance, I came across StarTech Auto Repair, where I was welcomed by Kevin. Even though he and his team were busy working, he took the time to address the scratch. The result was far better than I expected. Truly excellent. Kevin is solution-oriented, helpful, friendly, professional, and reliable. Highly recommended!

5 /5 scott sanderfer: I have been bringing fleet vehicles to Kevin at star tech for years for their smog tests, and receiving fast and great service. But also bring my personal cars and my families cars for any reason at all. My 1980 Datsun 280Z project car got a lot of assistance from Star Tech. I also have had my 1953 Dodge truck and my wifes Lexus, as well as my 2000 Mercedes that I had help getting out of salvage title status from Kevin. They have great knowledge and do excellent work. Cannot recommend enough!

5 /5 Jean Ballantyne: I have been very pleased with my experiences with Star Tech, both for the maintenance and old-age repairs for my 19-year-old car, as well as for the repairs consequent to my struggle to keep rats from destroying any area of the car they could get into . The last straw occurred when a rat died deep in the innards of the car and made it impossible to drive without gagging. Kevin, the owner of Star Tech, spelunked into the depths of the stink, found and removed the dead animal, and then disinfected the whole system. It was a disgusting job that he performed efficiently and thoroughly. Kevin is skilled, experienced, reliable, accountable, accessible, reasonable, flexible, helpful, and kind. In addition to maintenance, he has repaired damage, given me useful information about caring for and preserving my car, resolved its idiosyncratic phenomena (suddenly wouldnt turn off one day...?), and retained an easy-going attitude throughout. I highly recommend Kevin, his assistant, Patricio, and Star Tech in general to anyone seeking a reliable mechanic and auto care.
