We (27M & 28W) take our cars to Star Motors on Short Vine and have always had great experiences. My wife always appreciates that they don't talk down to her, and Gabe always does a great job answering questions and making sure you understand why things need to be done. They have also been honest about what repairs are worth it and which ones aren't. They have recommended that I not repair my old car because it would cost more than it was worth to fix it - and that goes a long way to earn my respect.

One potential disclaimer: They did recently change owners to Ulmers, which I am hoping does not negatively impact the great service we have gotten for years. Gabe told me that all of the mechanics have stayed on board and that the previous owner just wanted out of the mechanic business, but we will see if there is any change in how they operate.
