I've gone through plenty of mechanics through the years but Hi Star Auto has become my go to place when my car starts to act up.
They're honest and fair with their prices. They don't round up their labor hours and they don't try to nickel and dime you by telling you that you need something done when you in fact don't. They also greet you by name when you walk through the doors and make you feel welcome by offering you a beverage while you wait.
When my car was constantly leaking transmission fluid, I had gone to four different places, including Cottman - a TRANSMISSION specialist. I was told the same thing over and over again. You just have too much fluid. After paying for a complete flush I was beyond irritated to see that my car was still leaking fluid.
I took my car to Hi Star and they told me that I needed a new dipstick because the seal had corroded. I was skeptical that something as simple as that was the cause of my leak. But lo and behold, replacing that $15 part stopped my leak. They could have easily made it out to be a bigger job but they didn't. They just wanted to keep me fix my issue. And because of that I will always take my car to them first.
