Why drivers choose Star Tech
Specialist work. Without the specialist runaround.
01
Factory-trained, not template-trained
Fifteen years as shop foreman at the Mercedes-Benz / Porsche dealer in Vallejo. Mercedes-Benz Star Technician award. Porsche factory training. Audi/VW Quality Control award. Don brings all of that to every car that comes in.
02
Bosch-certified, independent pricing
Star Tech is a Bosch Service Center, run by a Mercedes-Benz Star Technician with Porsche factory training. The diagnostic skill is there. The dealer overhead isn't.
03
Small team. Same people every visit.
The person who explains your quote actually understands the work. There's no rotating cast of service writers, and no game of telephone between you and the tech. You'll know the team by name within two visits.

Customers keep coming back. Often from the dealer.
We see a lot of cars that left a dealership with a thousand-dollar quote and an unfixed problem. Most of them roll out of here a few hundred dollars later, actually fixed.
