Star Auto Sales

I was looking specifically for a Toyota Camry, and had been to other dealerships and just got a bad vibe at those places. Star Auto sales was different. I researched their reviews on the internet and knew a couple people who purchased their cars there and got them serviced there as well.
From start to finish, I had a great experience! I worked with Steve Zanetto, Gary, and Janine. They were all very friendly and genuine. I bought a used 2011 Camry Hybrid, which I love! The only thing I needed was an extra key for the keyless entry/​ignition, which they didn’t have at delivery. I wanted to see if they followed through, and they did not disappoint. Four days later, I have my new key.
The car is beautiful, and I would highly recommend Star Auto Sales to anyone who asks. It’s hard to find a good, honest dealership that puts the customer before the sale.

I have no complaints. I got a Living Social deal for a car detail. I was able to make my appointment via email (very convenient) for a couple of weeks out. I dropped the car off a little before 9:00 and they called around 2:00 to say it was ready. They did a great job– my car looks beautiful now.

My car’s interior and exterior was LONG overdue for some TLC. Let’s just say we adopted a puppy within the last year who sheds a lot, has thrown up in the car multiple times and he always happens to barf in those impossible to reach places like the crevice between the seat and door, etc. I was beyond happy when I found a Living Social deal for a reasonably priced detail. Although Meriden isn’t that close to my house, it was an awesome deal that I couldn’t pass up. An interior and exterior detail that is usually $ 179.00 (for an SUV) ran be under $ 100!
Making the appointment was easy, and since I don’t live very close, I just decided to their WiFi connection to work remotely until my car was done. I talked to Tina on the phone and she was so friendly and bubbly. Definitely had good vibes before going in which is always nice!
My detail took about 2 hours and I couldn’t be happier! My car smells like rainbows & sunshine and is so clean that I feel like I just drove it out of the dealership. I would highly recommend Star Auto Sales for their detailing services! I am sure everything else they do is great, but only had the detail done here.

My husband brought our large SUV in to have it detailed as a surprise for my birthday! It is beyond clean (and I am a super neat freak!). He also could not say enough nice things about Tina and how pleasant and easy she was to work with. Highly recommend! Worth every penny!

The detailing guys at Star Auto Sales are my knights in shining armor. I took in my car to get detailed because it smelled terrible. And I mean terrible. They discovered that someone had dropped food under a seat that had become infested with maggots, and the maggot waste was making that smell. They cleaned it all up for me with good humor, and now my car looks and smells like new! Also, when I was leaving, it was raining, so they gave me an umbrella! Great service, nice people, good quality work. Thanks Star Auto Sales!

As Tina, who is at the desk in the service department says, «We’re old school». Star Auto is the old-​school garage that you can trust to do things right.
I brought my car in for detailing and ended up leaving it to be repaired (two dashboard lights had come on). I didn’t realize they were also a repair facility and when I said it was going right from detailing to the dealer to be checked out, they asked if I wanted them to look at it.
I couldn’t be happier with the service I received or the price. First, my car is impeccable — the cleanest it’s ever been! Tina said that they’ve had the same person doing detailing for years and «he takes it personal». My 2000 VW Bug is shining, inside and out. Second, they diagnosed the problems and gave me a very reasonable quote for the work that needed to be done. Parts were ordered and I had my car back in less than 24 hours. I thought the price charged was very reasonable for the work done.
What I love about Star Auto is the people who work there. I’ve talked to the owner as well as Tina, and it’s clear it’s very much a comfortable, family-​type business. They are down to earth, easy to talk to, friendly and honest. I plan on using Star Auto exclusively now for my automotive repairs. After all, how often do you leave an auto repair shop with a huge grin on your face?

I returned to have my wife’s car detailed and the work was performed in the same (excellent) manner. The owner will give you a discounted price for a detailing if you call and ask.

I’ve been driving the same car since high school, so a few years back, it reached the point when it started needing a lot of repairs. I had gone to some of the big-​name chains that would charge me an arm and a leg and tell me I needed 1000 other things done, and I had gone to a smaller place that would charge me less than those big-​name guys but didn’t know how to fix my car, and then I found Star Auto. It was so refreshing to find nice, honest guys who do a great job at a fair price and don’t tell you to get something done when you don’t need it. When I have a problem with my car or want something checked, this is where I go. It’s also where I go for my regular oil changes because for the longest time, they’ve been charging $ 20 flat, including tax.
Most recently, I stopped in to check my brakes because it’s been a while since I’ve changed my brake pads, and because I needed an oil change anyway. They told me my brakes were fine, and I went on my way, thankful that I could hold off on that expense. On top of auto repairs, they also offer some great detailing packages. My parents surprised me with one for my birthday a few years back, and my car looked brand new, inside and out.
