Straight quotes, real fixes, back on the road the same day
Our story
We are a small, hands-on auto shop on Abbott Street in Salinas, run by Jose and Yoshi with help from Trish in the office. Customers come to us for diagnostics, oil changes, brakes, alignments, tune-ups, radiator work, alternators, batteries, wiper blades, and engine rebuilds, the everyday repairs that keep a car on the road.
We tell customers what a repair actually costs before we start, and we do the work ourselves instead of handing it off. When a Tesla driver broke down passing through town, Jose got them back on the road the same day. When a customer broke down 150 miles from home, Yoshi found a cheap, same-day fix instead of the expensive one.
Every car that comes through our door gets treated the way we would want ours treated: fixed right, explained clearly, and priced fairly.
What customers say
“Star Tune does miracles with a car! Best service in Salinas. I had a problem with my Tesla on my way back home and Jose didn't hesitate to help right away and I was ready to go on the road right away. Thanks a million.”
“A must place to visit if you are ever in need of repairs to your vehicle. I really enjoy the honest quotes that are very reasonable in this economy. And it gets us back on the road for success. Thank you Jose, making time for me today.”
“This is where my bf and I take our cars when they need repairs. Yoshi and Jose have always done a great job and charged us fair prices. Trish in the office is really helpful as well. Highly recommended.”
