Our story

About Star Tune

We are a small, hands-on auto shop on Abbott Street in Salinas, run by Jose and Yoshi with help from Trish in the office. Customers come to us for diagnostics, oil changes, brakes, alignments, tune-ups, radiator work, alternators, batteries, wiper blades, and engine rebuilds, the everyday repairs that keep a car on the road.

We tell customers what a repair actually costs before we start, and we do the work ourselves instead of handing it off. When a Tesla driver broke down passing through town, Jose got them back on the road the same day. When a customer broke down 150 miles from home, Yoshi found a cheap, same-day fix instead of the expensive one.

Every car that comes through our door gets treated the way we would want ours treated: fixed right, explained clearly, and priced fairly.

  • Owner-operated by Jose and Yoshi
  • Upfront, honest pricing
  • Same-day repairs when possible
  • Comfortable working on EVs like Tesla

What customers say

“Star Tune does miracles with a car! Best service in Salinas. I had a problem with my Tesla on my way back home and Jose didn't hesitate to help right away and I was ready to go on the road right away. Thanks a million.”

Fabian Waintal

“A must place to visit if you are ever in need of repairs to your vehicle. I really enjoy the honest quotes that are very reasonable in this economy. And it gets us back on the road for success. Thank you Jose, making time for me today.”
