Star Motors
Luxury Auto Service
QUALITY • INTEGRITY • VALUE
By Veronica Badzey
There’s a reason Star Motors luxury auto service has won the Orange County Register’s People’s Choice Award for ten years running, and it goes far beyond an ability to deliver exceptional car repair and maintenance. For every technician and service advisor at Star Motors, the relationship with the client comes first. Chris Knuth and his wife, Emma, have co-owned Star Motors since 2008. “The company’s success has been fueled by our belief that we specialize in people and fix cars for fun,” shares Chris.
Chris is an ASE-certified technician who spent 15 years as a mechanic before he became the owner-operator of Star Motors. His motivation for purchasing and managing his own auto shop was simple, “We thought we could do it better,” he relates with a grin.
Star Motors specializes in providing the highest quality auto repair and maintenance services for European luxury vehicles, including Mercedes Benz, BMW, Jaguar, Land Rover, Porsche, Audi, Volkswagen, Rolls Royce, and Bentley. All of Star Motors’ mechanics are certified by the National Association of Automotive Excellence (ASE), and have over 100 years of combined industry experience. Many of them are also factory-trained with years of dealership experience and they remain current with the latest industry trends and technology by attending 40 hours of required continuing education each year.
As a member of the National Automotive Service Task Force (NASTF), Star Motors has access to all OEM security and diagnostic information for major European luxury brands and uses the latest tools and advanced diagnostic equipment to complete dealership-level repairs for all makes and models. Yet this award-winning, independently-owned auto shop is just as happy to work on a Ford or Honda as on a Rolls Royce, and commonly provides car repair and maintenance services for entire families.
“Once a car owner realizes they can trust us with their vehicle,” says Chris, “they want the same high level of service for their kid’s cars. They also frequently recommend us to their extended family, friends, and neighbors.”
Star Motors goes out of its way to make caring for your car as simple and hassle-free as possible. In addition to same-day repairs, it also offers complimentary loaner cars to every customer, as well as free shuttle service to anywhere in South Orange County. If repairs take longer than a day, customers can take advantage of a $25/day discounted rental rate with neighboring Enterprise Rent-A-Car. And for true red-carpet treatment, ask about Star Motors’ door-to-door concierge service where a courteous team member will come to your home or workplace to pick up your car, drive it to the dealership to be serviced, and return it to you at your preferred location – all free of charge.
Star Motors also offers a VIP Savings Club that delivers exceptional discounts on the most frequently-needed auto maintenance services, such as brake repair, oil changes, A/C recharges, and power steering fluid renewal. The VIP Discount Card provides a $619.96 value for only $139.96, covers multiple vehicles, and can be shared amongst family and friends. Together with an industry-leading, 3-year, 36,000-mile parts and labor warranty, this makes Star Motors the best value for luxury auto service maintenance in Orange County.
For complete peace of mind, every visit also includes a comprehensive 59-point digital vehicle inspection that checks all major systems, including fluid levels, tire pressure, belts, hoses, and more.
Star Motors never pressures its customers to make unnecessary repairs. Instead, service advisors spend extra time explaining their findings in detail and assist car owners with recommended maintenance and repairs to suit their schedules and budgets.
With clients returning from as far away as Arizona, Nevada, and Texas, it comes as no surprise that Star Motors has some of the most loyal customers in Orange County. “At the end of the day,” Chris reminds his staff, “We’re not just repairing cars, we’re keeping families safe.”
Star Motors is proud to be a AAA Approved Auto Repair Shop, a Bosch Certified Service Station, and a Certified California Green Station.
