Charly WelchTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Super friendly and knowledgeable people here. When the first thing didn't work out as expected, Liam took care of it at no extra charge. I'm so grateful. Can't recommend these folks enough!! Stephanie StairTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Purchased a vehicle from them. Very kind and professional. Was happy I didn’t have to work with a dealership. Will be going back for oil changes and any repairs my car may need. Liam was great to work with! Jenna SteeleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The best mechanic service in the area! The staff are extremely honest, fast, and the prices are very fair. The owner, Liam, is super knowledgeable and polite. I walked in with a loud rattling noise and came in expecting to spend hundreds. Turns out, a few bolts had rusted off and needed to be replaced. Liam explained it all in detail before fixing it which felt really reassuring. I walked out in 30 minutes and spent under $50! It’s located right next to GB’s Pub & Grub and there is ample parking. I highly recommend!! Hannah SolwoldTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great service, great prices! Matt GerbTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I'm so glad I waited for the right garage to pull into I had waited two months to find the right mechanic and I did. I went for a A/C check and I left with a new center support bearing both outter tyroids sway bar links and of course my A/C condenser all for a price I couldn't think was imaginable! Not to mention it was all finished in 4 hours. You have a customer for life! #Northstar Tim LeahyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently took my car in for new brakes and rotors and the experience was excellent from start to finish during the inspection they also identified an oil leak that was missed during a previous visit to the dealership for service. The service was completed promptly and the owners were honest, professional and transparent throughout the process I would definitely recommend does service center. Deonna LaraTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Super professional. If you're looking for an honest mechanic that won't take advantage of your pockets and give you top quality work. This is the place... Alyssa HerreraTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I just brought my car in for a paint job on my bumper, a/c repair (completely out!), and a couple more little things. My car is finally all one color and my a/c is coming out nice and cool! I am so happy with the job that was done and the care that was taken by this locally owned shop! Matt BTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had some maintenance and work that needed to be done to my truck recently. Went to northdtar and spoke to Liam and after this experience….i have found “my guy” for mechanic needs. He was up front and knowledgeable about my vehicle and he figured the issues out before I even got back home to my house. He looked through the suspension and told me everything that was going to be an upcoming problem. The customer service and the speed he got my truck done in was amazing. If you’re looking for a good, solid, knowledgeable mechanic that is honest and trustworthy, take your vehicle to Northstar. You won’t be disappointed! LolaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My beloved 2008 Silverado (Lucy) was smelling hot, not overheating, but smelling hot. Before things got worse, I dropped her off to see what’s going on. They ran tests and no holes, no bad hoses, etc, but a valve cover gasket was blown out. She’s all better now. I took Lucy to Hoover for years and Northstar has stepped in (and up). But this is the 2nd time I’ve been there so I want to tell the story of my first visit. It was a few months ago. I had recently gotten an alternator (while still Hoover) and one morning a couple weeks later when I went to start Lucy, I lost all power. Backed the key up, all the power came in and she started - but my clock reset so I literally lost ALL power. I figured well, I will probably have to deal with this soon - whatever it is. I Googled it at work and got myself all freaked out. No troubles for a week or so. Then, I’m leaving work on a Monday afternoon and in the parking lot downtown, it happened again. Backed the key up again and she started. I’m traveling south on Grand Traverse, approaching Holy Redeemer in the lane to turn West on Bristol. I look at my dash - no power. I’m like… omg. I’m not going fast enough to make the corner and get into Holy Redeemer (even if I was with no power steering, it would have been hard - and the truck is way too big for me to push). So, I ended up in one lane on Bristol, no power, it is hailing, tons of traffic, I called my dad hysterical but I was wearing mittens and I turned the volume down on accident so I couldn’t hear him. I went to put on my hazards - lol I have NO POWER. I hop out and pop the hood so at least people know I’m immobile and not trying to turn into the stupid Speedway. The only thing I could think of was the battery. But the battery was really new. I popped the red plastic thing off a post, stared at it willing it to do something and with the hood open, I saw my wipers were working; I have power. I hop in, she starts, I close the hood and take off straight to Hoover. I get in there and it’s all different. They are redoing floors, there’s no upholstery stuff around, I probably looked like a complete lunatic but they were all VERY nice to me. Since that happened, I truly can’t remember the last time I broke down IN traffic like that. A calm fella stops what he’s doing and looks under the hood. The cable attached to the battery was loose, he tightened it up. He said all the things I said have been happening could be caused by that cable being loose. He tightened it and sent me on my way. No more power troubles. But it was very embarrassing and stressful. Anyway, having a reliable mechanic that’s geographically close by isn’t something I’ve always been so lucky to have. I’m so glad competent, knowledgeable people moved in. Thanks for taking care of Lucy. ❤️😊 Also, seeing Lucy’s name on the tag MADE MY WHOLE DAY.
