I have had a couple recent repairs here including the catalytic converter and brake booster on my ‘98 Tacoma. I’ve been impressed by how responsive, timely, knowledgeable and professional the shop owners are! Thank you for all the high quality work you guys have done! It is much appreciated even though the issues have been unanticipated. It’s been a pricey last six months for me with all the vehicle repairs, but I’m trying to keep it running well for at least another 100K miles. 👍🏻 I hope I don’t have to come in anytime soon… :)Posted on Google![]()

My first experience was great! Ken was professional and fast. I needed a new catalytic converter in my 2014 Kia so it could pass the smog test - Ken was communicative and friendly. I love that they have a company Uber account so I could be taken home after I dropped my car off.Posted on Google![]()

I needed to have my Exotic car's DMV exhaust certification renewed. The car is an 1988. I have quite a bit of angst when every two years the certification has to be renewed. I took the car to TRISTAR. They were WONDERFUL!! They felt my concern. The car passed with flying colors, twice at this time! The people who own/work at Tristar are master mechanics! They were kind enough to give me a referral for an excellent Exotic car repair shop. Since moving to Sonoma County eight years ago I have been in convulsions on where to take my car for engine repairs. Tristar's recommendation was another star on their rating. They should receive 10 stars!!!Posted on Google![]()

I was searching for mobile mechanics to help me inspect a vehicle that I was purchasing out of state. The quotes were high, and the reviews were mixed, And I really wanted to get the vehicle up on a lift. The shop was right down from the dealership, and the dealership offered to drive it for the inspection. Boy did everything work out great. Tristar was very easy to work with. They were fair priced, and even stuck with a miss quote That was advantageous to me. The vehicle got dropped off late, and they were still able to accommodate once the inspection was done, we got on the phone and talked about the vehicle. Everything went as we had hoped. I wish this shop was in state for me. Highly recommend themPosted on Google![]()

Pat Pointer18 September 2026
Had a great experience and felt well informed about my F-150 EcoBoost repair options for a coolant leak that caused the engine to overheat. I wasn’t feeling my best while facing the consequences of my truck requiring major repairs. The detailed estimate broke down every cost, from clips and hoses to labor, so there were no surprises. My questions were welcomed, and they took the time to explain what to expect. The staff and management were friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful. I especially appreciated the straightforward, low-pressure approach compared with some of my past dealership experiences. Highly recommend!Posted on Google![]()

I had to tow my vehicle into Tristar at 4pm the Friday before a holiday weekend. I was stranded in the side of the road and didn’t know who to call so, after a brief google search, I called Tristar. They let me know I’d could have my car towed over and it could stay over the long weekend but that they’d get back to me with an update as quickly as possible upon return from the holiday. As promised they did get back to me and let me know that the situation with my car was something that was actually covered by the maker of my vehicle via a class action lawsuit / extended warranty fix (my car is 1.5 yrs out of manufacture warranty). They told me to go ahead and make an appt with a local dealership and let me know exactly what to ask for re: this extended warranty. Additionally, they didn’t charge me for the diagnostic time it took them to identify the situation. I’m incredibly appreciative of their responsiveness and honesty in a moment that was very unexpected and stressful. They absolutely have my business from here out!Posted on Google![]()
