I cannot recommend this place enough! If I could give 10 stars I would. I took my corvette here that needed a major repair, and Dave walked me around the car on the lift and explained everything perfectly, showed me the broken parts and why they were broken, and showed me the new parts. My car was finished far before I anticipated with constant updates and I got a great deal! The last time I took my corvette there, Dave even gave me a ride home, and my car was fixed the very next day. This shop is amazing and I wouldn't take my cars anywhere else!.

David, owner of North Star, refused to provide us with a breakdown of labor done and prices. He listed $2,000 and 11 hours. That's it! I asked for him multiple times over 4 weeks and he refused. The bill ended up being twice as much as his original estimate, and since David won't explain why I don't know what work, or parts he provided. Also, David was extremely rude, and indignant. He actually said, "Can you read English?" when I was explaining his invoice lacked any specific information. DON'T GO TO NORTH STAR. Horrible service and a total Fraud!!!

First I want to say is " DON'T BRING YOUR CAR HERE"...Short /long story...All I wanted was a valve job....approx $9,000.00 later...Yes nine thousand dollars (AFTER THE 20% discount for cash) later ......1 week later it wouldn't pass smog...approx $500.00 dollars later and "fixed by Dave".. then it passed....the final insult was when I went to pick it up Dave said " oh,I smelled a little gas under the hood"...I found the problem...the connection from the gas tank,AT the carburetor ( which he had to be removed to do the valve job)...HAD BEEN STRIPPED AND SOME HORSE SH*T PUTTY had been used to seal it,...I think , to get it away from the garage long enough... causing a dangerous situation to develop. (luckily I was only a short distance from home)....He constantly was saying " I been doing this for 30 years.(every other sentence).what a beautiful corvette you have...constantly shaming me if I didn't fix every little problem he "found"..( lots of hoses that didn't leak before he saw them).bad mouthing the last mechanic I took it to..(Keven at corvette connection) ..see Jay J. and Steve a. and Mike N.'s reviews ...........DON"T BRING YOUR CAR HERE.....bring it to (Keven at Corvette Connection)

If I could give a 0 I would ! I have been in the automobile repair business for 45 years and pride myself on customer service and this Dave guy is the worst most disrespectful business man I ever ever come across . He talks a good game up front but is Rude and extremely disrespectful and not very smart . His shop has a bunch of junk cars everywhere and the office looks like a hoarder lives there pretty shady place . I should have done more homework on this guy but it was a simple brake job and he talked a good game so shame on me . Steer clear of this place !

I had a weird squeak coming from my clutch and some battery issues on my Corvette, so I called to see if these folks could help. They took my car in that day, and not only did they fix both issues (including getting me a new battery under warranty), they also fixed the air dam I'd broken years ago, changed my air filter, changed my front tires, and alerted me to a couple of things to keep an eye on that didn't need immediate fixing. The cost of this? LESS than I've spent for just a set of front tires from Wheel Works!! Very happy with these guys!!

The most honest repair garage I have been to in California. Also the most knowledgable. They know cars. Dave the owner although very busy is very friendly. I never have been taken advantage of as with other garages. I highly recommend this business.

Dave has worked on my 62 vette for thirty years. Everything he has done, which is a lot, is top notch. This includes over the years, new engine, blown rear end, clutches, brakes, leaf springs, shocks, etc. He stands behind his work.

I waited to review this place just to be fair and see how things went. About 18 months ago I let this shop work on my 1996 C4, charged me 11k to fix oil leaks, put weather stripping on doors various other fixes. In order to put door panels on they put sheet metal screws through the door panels. Many bolts missing in the engine bay. Alternator was held by one bolt. Plastic parts in engine bay cracked or broken. Just alot of small things done like a backyard mechanic worked on it. You will not get a quote until the car is torn apart. Lice and learn.

I'm having my old C3 restored. They are nearly finished. I wanted to attest to the craftmanship my car has bin given! Dave (The owner ) is an artist! His crew are very talented also! Dave is one of those guys who has forgotten more than most mechanics will ever know about Corvetts. I had no previous knowlege of this shop before . I sure wish I had. You love your car? You want it right the first time? This is your shop!

Refer to invoice 5778 2/17/2014 North Star was recommended by a neighbor. I took my Model A with a 1967 Corvette 327 to North Star to have a hesitation problem and a sloppy steering problem repaired. They replaced a tie rod end and did an alignment and supposedly checked the rest of the suspension. They said they found the timing off and that the hesitation was normal. They quoted $900 while the car was apart. That was pretty steep. They even charged me for the time to go get parts. When I got there they tried to charge me $1120. I paid the $900 just to the car get out of there. The tie rod end was not bad. It was the steering gear box, which was my first suspicion. All the lock nuts on the front suspension were left loose. All 4 hub caps were dented because they used a hammer to put them on. The carb float height was the hesitation problem. The owner talks a good game, but the diagnosis and work quality was bad. I could say more, but that's enough and I had to get this "off my chest". Mike
