They were professional, honest and affordable. Kind and very nice to us considering we suffered a blowout on the turnpike. They stayed later to help me and that made all the difference. Will use them from now on. My new mechanics. Service: Tires

Wow! This business is fantastic. DJ was professional, honest and so thorough. He explained everything for this senior woman who knows very little about cars and now my old Toyota is running like a top. Prices are not cheap but fair and I've learned you get what you pay for. You can trust three star and that's saying a lot!

Charged me $335 for an estimate never heard of that before total rip-off, 100 at dealship is the most i payed. Their estimate was $700 higher than somebody else's had it towed there. Also took them 4 or 5 days just to get the estimate. It was going to take them another week to fix it, so they charge me storage fees because they were too slow to fix it and try to blame me. The other shop pick the car up fixed it the next day and I picked it up.
They knew I was out of state and took advantage of the situation knowing that I couldn't fight them over the $335 for an estimate. They said they had to push the car 15 ft, the car ran I know because I drove it into the parking space. I was down there at my grandmother's funeral and had to rush home to go to my sister's funeral in Boston. Which I explained to them so they couldn't get it fixed and I took a train home to my sister's funeral.
I totally understaand business first people second.so sad. Says storage right on my receipt I can send you a copy also you never towed my vehicle I can also send you the copy of the receipt with all the parts same exact parts i have quote that you gave me.

I moved here 3 years ago and this is the only place I go to. Dj knows a lot about tires and gives great suggestions. He even notices mistakes other tire shops makes. He is is very helpful and explains work very well. Lew the owner is a great master mechanic. He figures out the issues with cars other shops can't. I have even seen another local shop come to him for help. Chris and Tony are great mechanics that know what they are doing and get it done fast and right the first time. Three star auto is the best place to get your car serviced and checked
