Auto repair costs - ChevroletWe understand that every dollar counts, and that's why we want to prove to you that Star Auto Authority is the smartest value in auto repair—not only for our quality and convenience but also for our pricing.

We surveyed more than 40 auto dealers about their auto repair costs, as well as loaner and shuttle ride offerings, and we were pleased with the results. We think you will be, too.

* Among the dealers we surveyed, none offer pick up and delivery service. Loaners were often limited to individuals who bought their car at the dealer or to clients spending a minimum on service. Others will drive you home but not provide a trip back.
A transmission fluid flush is often needed at 30,000 miles. This would cost $138 additional.
