Engine repair service near Topanga, CA

Nick the owner of this shop worked on my 1994 CAMRY very dissapointed with service. He said he replaced the rack and pinion and come to find out I took it to another mechanic and he said that this part was never replaced.In total he charged me over 2600.00 for a motor replacement and he had said it was from Japan and come to find out it was from a junk yard also what kind of mechanic does'nt replace the transmission gasket when they repalce a motor price for gasket and labor was $400.00. and my car is still parked in my drive way leaking for about a year and tree months. I've tried to contact him several times and still has not returned any of my calls. Truely upset Im looking to go to small claims.!..H.A.

Great work, they charged me hundreds less than the dealership! Nice showroom and friendly guys in the office.

This is one place on where I will be a FOREVER Customer and Loyal at that. Today I had the wrose most horrible day dealing with a set of bad companies that deal with tires. I was out and about for almost 8 hours trying to get my tires replaced due to one of them having a Bad Factory tear on the inside of the tire. I got here at 6:45pm, right before they closed and this AMAZING WONDERFUL Gentleman asked me how I was doing and was super sweet to hear what happened. He said he was sorry for what happened and that he would be happy to help. Within minutes of getting there, the guys out in the garage did the alignment, changed out all 4 tires and also told me that I had 2 other problems with the Tire area and helped me in every way to get my car back on the road safe for me to drive. It took these gentlemen 40 min.s to get it all done right. They helped me with everything, got me a warranty on the tires and more. I couldn't have been anymore happier, they made my day better. Thank you guys for the help and can't wait to come back to get more service done on my car. Krystel Carrilo

I'm not the most technical person when it comes to auto knowledge but the work was done quickly and part was ready when I got there. What Amenities...?

We went through 3 different mechanics including the Mercedes Service Department before going to Gold Star. Mike diagnosed the problem with no charge, and his findings were very accurate. We had spend close to $2000 fixing what wasn't even the issue, even Mercedes charging us 280 for diagnosis still couldn't fix the issue. I am so happy and grateful to Mike, he was so generous, professional, experienced, and courteous, we've finally found an honest and extremely experienced mechanic. I will recommend Gold Star to all my friends and family. I rate Gold Star a 10!!!!!!!
