My experience with All Star was amazing! I called, scheduled an appointment, and brought my car in within a couple days of it acting up. When I arrived the guys were all super polite and understanding!! Special shoutout to George, he was able to give me an estimate just a couple hours after I brought the car in (even though there were a few cars ahead of mine) and then got all the parts for my repair and had it done a couple hours later. Having an automotive service that is quick, easy, and affordable is hard to find!! 10/10 recommend All-Star Automotive!!

So a little good comes out of some strange times. My son's 06 Honda Accord started having a cooling issue. UF parents group recommended this place, very glad I took the advice. Steve was nice to deal with on the phone, he explained that he only likes to work on Toyota, Honda and I think Acura so he'd definitely be able to help. His tech figured out that the only thing wrong was a faulty radiator cap. He put a new one on and filled the system and said he didn't even need to charge us anything, that he doesn't sweat the small stuff. I was shocked, he was more worried about me getting my son some new tires because they were so bald and worried for his safety. From my experience Steve is a class act human being, its just not everyday that a person would be so generous or willing to help and even care about other things. If you have a Honda, Toyota or Acura and need some auto work done, its worth your time to talk to Steve. Ps went same day and got my son some new tires, thanks Steve

One of the most honest and stand-up mechanics I have ever met. This is the first place I'll take my car when anything goes wrong. They specialize in Honda/Acura and Toyota/Lexus, but will do most of your typical maintenance on a variety of brands. They don't do everything, but will always refer you to a reputable and honest place in town when you need something they don't do. I have recommended them to a bunch of other people and I have not heard anything but good things about the experiences others have had.Services: Air & cabin filter replacement

Easily the best mechanic in town. Had to get my car towed over here - Steve didn't charge me to take a look at the car, found the issue, and had me out and running the next day. Excellent service, great people. Won't use anyone else in Gainesville.

Customer service here is great! Unfortunately they were not able to resolve my issue but ran a free test and gave great recommendations for where to go to get it fixed. Thanks Steve!Service: Auto engine diagnostic

Came in with a battery issue without calling ahead, left 30 minutes later with a completely fixed car. Huge shoutout to Steve and George for being so kind, helpful, and not charging me due to the simplicity of the repair. I can’t recommend All Star Automotive enough!Service: Electrical repair

Had a great experience bringing my 2002 Miata here. I was in the area for a month for work and needed to take my car somewhere for a quick oil change and inspection since I had a long drive ahead of me.Not only was the service amazing (and very reasonably priced), Steve is amazing! We had a great time talking about different cars and Gainesville in general. While this isn’t a Miata-specific shop, I would highly recommend. These guys know what they’re doing. It also helps that one of the guys who works there has his own Mazdaspeed. If I was ever in Gainesville again, I would absolutely bring my car back here.

I purchased a car that needed some motor mounts. Not to mention some other problems that were poorly fixed. All Star Automotive was quick straight forward and too the point. Mounts were replaced and they even tighten and secured some other parts the previous owner had done. Price was reasonable compared to dealers and chain shops. He even noted some other issues that will need repair soon. It's nice to know there are still good auto shops out there. I will be back for sure.

Left my car at this shop to fix the back breaks. Found out later that the break rotors weren't changed; the rotors are worn out and rusty. I mentioned my concern about the breaks before I left the car at the shop. Now, I have to change the rotors. I was disappointed with them that I fully trusted this auto shop. But the outcome was bad.

It is nearly impossible to find a decent mechanic these days, let alone a great one, but All-Star Automotive has never once let me or my fiancé down. We had an older car the needed a repair almost twice a month! I am so happy that we had him and his team close by every time we needed him! They have hooked us up more than once and always give us a very fair deal and great customer service. I don’t ever feel like I am being taken advantage of. My fiancé took his car to another repair shop in Orlando, but we wanted a second opinion. Steve told us that the other mechanic was definitely trying to take advantage of us. What would have cost $1200 only cost about $200 with Steve, and the car is running great! The only service he doesn’t provide is tire repair/ replacement. He even recommended going to Discount Tires on 3003 SW 34th street which worked out perfectly! 10/10 service all around. Please give him a call the next time you need a car repair!

Very honest and affordable mechanics. I've been coming here for 8 years and have always had good experiences. They don't try to take advantage of people who know nothing about cars (me) and are very kind and reasonably priced.

On a roadtrip, our alternator died in the evening and a friend recommended All Star. I called first thing in the morning (a Friday) and brought the car in. Steve had to order the alternator from Jacksonville, and had it installed by 2pm the same day. Incredible same-day service in an emergency! Honest about the timeline and costs. Highly recommended service.Service: Electrical repair

I come from a family with a mechanical background and do a lot of mid-level work myself. But with our daughter away at school, it just made sense for her to get her car fixed before riding home. Based on reviews, I told her to go to All-Star Automotive and see how it goes. My dad ran his own repair shop for 45 years and gained a reputation of being fair with integrity.Steve helped my daughter with her Mazda last week and quickly diagnosed a problem with her front bearing. After a few days, she was on her way with what I thought was a fair price. A few days later, she found additional problems and feared that the other bearing might be going out as well. I told her to take the car back and explain what she is seeing.It turned out that there was a problem with the repair and they replaced any damaged parts and fixed the problem at no charge. I told my daughter that is exactly how her grandpa would have handled the situation.Service: Auto maintenance

They helped me jumpstart my car that was across the street so I wouldn't have to tow it to the shop. Their cables were much higher quality and they were able to even get me a replacement battery the same day. Very lovely locals who were very helpful and quick to communicate with!
