Mike and Jennifer were amazing! I wish I would have come to them sooner with my issue! I wasted time going to other repair shops.
They’re always friendly and willing to help you no matter what problems you’re having. I highly recommend taking a chance with them if you need any car assistance.
I have been here two times and both times I was taken very well care of! The staff is very friendly and have a family style type of environment that makes me feel at home. Not only was my vehicle taken care of but the mechanics are very honest people! I trust my vehicle with them 100%
I was driving on I35 to a meeting in Dallas when my car had a blowout. It was a scary thing but I was able to make my way to Texas Star Tire. They couldn’t have been nicer to me. They had to order new tires, but drove me over to a rental car place so that I could get back on the road to my meeting. When I came back through the following day they had my car, with the new tires, all ready to go. Super professional and patient, and they continue to reach out periodically to check on how the tires are holding up. Highly recommend!
The crew there is awesome! Super upfront, explaining everything in detail. They were thorough with my car and I felt safe and secure with the work that they did on my vehicle! Both Mikes ROCK!!

Strange sounds and warning lights don't just go away. Catching those small signs early can save you a lot of money and hassle down the road.
If you notice any of the following, don't wait; bring your car in before a minor issue turns into a major repair.
Illuminated dash lights usually mean something needs attention now, not later. If you see a check engine light or a brake system alert, these signals are often tied to early-stage problems. Ignoring them can lead to much bigger (and more expensive) repairs down the road.
If your steering wheel shakes or your car pulls to one side, it could be an alignment issue, suspension wear, or something deeper. These symptoms seem minor but often point to problems that affect safety and long-term performance.
Noises like squealing brakes or grinding when you stop are never normal. For example, a worn-out brake pad might start as a squeak, but if left too long, it can ruin your rotors and turn into a pricey repair. Catch it early, and it's a quick fix.
Soft brakes or strange smells, especially a burnt or chemical odor, are warning signs that shouldn't be ignored. These could point to overheating brakes, fluid leaks, or electrical issues, all of which can affect your safety if not handled quickly.
