Starfire Auto

Big thanks to Abe, Kay and the team at StarFire Auto. We have a son at college in Santa Clarita who was in need of a safe reliable car. He had encountered a few problems with another car dealer who basically acted dishonestly (don’t get me started) and others who didn’t seem that interested or helpful. So we were desperately looking for someone who could just help us. Solely on the strength of the reviews Starfire Auto have across the Internet and especially Unilocal we made an appointment to look at 2 cars. We met Kay and Abe and explained our situation and described what we were looking for and whilst we were test driving the 2 cars Abe had arranged for us to drive 4 more cars that each perfectly fitted our requirements. In all honesty we could have bought any of the 6 cars we tested but we decided on one of the 4 cars that Abe suggested. It is a great car with low mileage and our son is pretty happy with it. As parents who live overseas, we are happy that he is in a safe reliable car and if anything goes wrong we have people we trust to help.
My advice is if you are looking for a good second hand car in Santa Clarita and people you can trust, don’t go anywhere else.

Very efficient and professional. I scheduled my appointment a day before and the car was waiting for me the next day all nice and shiny. Financing was easy and fast, paperwork took Abe 10 mins!!! wow!!! Thank you, STARFIRE!!!

We just purchased a 2003 Acura from starfire Motors. When the three cars that we had requested did not meet our needs we ask for any other options. He showed us a car that was perfect for us and was actually in the price range that we asked for. He was not trying to constantly upsell us which we appreciated. A very painless car buying experience, & I hate car buying.

Seriously, the best possible car buying experience I could ever imagine, new or used. I read other raving A+++ Unilocal reviews of Starfire before contacting them and I was thinking, «No way, this can’t be true, who feels this way about a car salesman?“And then I met Abe and Kay at Starfire, and… it was all true. From sale to service to inside knowledge of my particular model (especially if you’re looking for a Toyota!), Abe was all aces. I would recommend Starfire so strongly that even if you’re from outside California, it’s worth coming in and getting a car from them and driving it back home. They’re that good. They’re that trustworthy. And this is the very first Unilocal review I’ve ever felt compelled to write.

Couldn’t be happier to buy a car from these guys, first time I bought from a dealer rather then private party. The entire process was really smooth and replies to my emails, even after I bought the car, were/​are very quick. There was no push when I came to check out the car, they let me look extensively through the car and just told me to come in and ask if I had any questions. Although the price was firm, which is stated on the website and no surprise, but researching the car and others like it the price was good regardless. Upon a detailed inspection by my mechanic the car came with a clean bill of health. If you’re searching for a used car, I highly recommend!

It was a wonderful experience at Starfire Auto! I am so happy with my Nissan I bought from here. Abe was very friendly, honest and knew everything about the car– its strengths AND weaknesses. After a long and sometimes very unnerving search for a cheap and reliable car, I am so happy I finally found this place. If you are fed up with the many crappy cars offered in central LA areas, take a look at this place and make an appointment to take a look at one or up to three of Abe’s cars. It is definitely worth it!

Excellent experience with Abe at Starfire Auto. Fair and reasonable price for the car I bought July 30^th (2002 Honda Civic.) I would not hesitate to buy from him again. Hondas will last a very long time as long as you maintain them. This car was very well maintained. I had the car serviced on Saturday ⁸⁄₁. Detailed on Monday ⁸⁄₃. Had new headlights put on (thanks Abe for showing me where to get them cheaper online) and car alarm/​keyless entry put on Tuesday ⁸⁄₄. Gave the car to my mother on Wed ⁸⁄₅. All went very smoothly! and my mother LOVES her new (to her) car. Thanks Starfire Auto! :)
and best of all… I left Starfire Auto with a full tank of gas! Excellent customer service!

I had a car shipped all the way to the east coast as I couldn’t find what I was looking for in decent condition locally. Abe was very helpful throughout the process, and they even made it where I don’t have to do anything to get the car registered. Everything was handled professionally and I am very impressed with the level of care that I received. The car was just as described and there were no surprises. Thanks again guys!

If you don’t like to haggle and you like to over pay for a car then buy here. They say to shop them last because they don’t want any window shoppers and prices are firm (that should be your first warning) we went to look at an Acura TSX that they said was «Clean» lol, I know it had a lot of miles on it but a broken grill, cracked windshield and rust on the carpet under the passenger seat wouldn’t qualify as clean to me and tells me more about where it’s been.
Roger was super duper nice and answered all our questions but as soon as I told him I wasn’t interested in the car, he was suddenly not interested in talking to me and said thank you have a nice day!
Like I said. If you like giving your hard earned money away because you don’t like dealing on a car, then buy one from Roger. In fact if you don’t like haggling I’ll find you a car and you can pay me. I like a good deal. Oh yeah, we found the same color car in way better condition and 30,000 less miles for less then he was asking.
Happy car shopping!

Do Not Go Here! We initially believed Starfire had gone the «extra mile» for us by offering to help my mom out (she also lives in Valencia) if she had any problems. This car was a lemon! 3 mechanics have told us that the dealership deceived us. The transmission was replaced and a «leak» had been clearly covered up according to more than one mechanics. The «new“battery was the wrong size for the car. We tried contacting Starfire for months with no returned calls– ever. The owner knew this car was for my mother and that she would rice our 3 children in it but that didn’t stop him from deceiving us by covering up the issues with the car. No wonder he refused to let the Dealership look at the care before purchase and made us go to a mechanic he knows. We will file a complaint with the better business bureau.

Will definitely recommend starfire auto. I spent a few months browsing the Internet, drive by local dealer and craigslist. Starfire came up several times and I dismissed them because it said to make an appointment. So towards the end of my search a couple of cars I liked were featured on the site. Had lots of pics, info and I decided to go for it. Called and the owner, Abe was extremely nice and knowledgeable. Test drove the car, which was an 04 civic, and it was just as advertised. Obviously for a used car that’s 11 years old it is what it is. The Internet based car dealership threw me for a minute but it’s a great little setup he has going and would go back if looking for a used car again.

I live quite a distance from Starfire, but was willing to make the trek based on previous reviews. I was not disappointed.
Their process is a little unique (by appointment only, most stuff done online), but the instructions were easy enough. When I arrived, Abe and Kay greeted me immediately (there was no wait). They had the car washed and ready for me to test drive.
The vehicle was exactly as described, except a lot cleaner than I expected a car of that age to be. I had the financing set before I arrived and Abe helped me deal with the financing company on the spot (we were on speakerphone together.)
I was in and out in an hour with my new car, and a knowledge of exactly the services I should perform on it and at what times. I’ll be back for my next car for sure.

Abe & Kay were wonderful never have I had such a great experience buying a used car! Will recommend them to family and friends. Love my car.

We got a CL65 from these guys. Abe and Kay are awesome, professional, honest, and just good people:) Everything was delivered as promised will all the disclosed imperfections. No surprises, apart from how easy the whole transaction was held. 2 thumbs up! Keep it up Starfire!

I just had a great experience with Abe and Kay. They were every bit as professional and straight-​shooting as I had been led to believe. I don’t Unilocal often, but in a market full of questionable characters these folk deserve a shout. My intuition told me these were the kind of people I would want to buy from and it was absolutely correct. I highly recommend Abe and Kay for the no-​nonsense car buying experience most of us are looking for.

I recently purchased a used but extremely well kept vehicle from Abe and Kay, By far the best car buying experience I’ve ever came across. To start there is absolutely no pressure to buy as you would normally be bothered by selfish annoying salesman, Abe and Kay genuinely care about your needs as a consumer and have an abundance of car knowledge due to Abe’s years as a Toyota tech. Long story short, I’d recommend Starfire motors to anyone looking to get a great vehicle at a fair price with wonderful customer care. Matter a fact my brother just bought his car from Abe not two days ago and my father is going to look to Abe first when going to trade in his vehicle. Thanks guys! –Wes

So where to begin… If I could give 100 stars I would. Abe and his wife are a prime example of legendary customer service. My brother recently got a super clean Lexus GS 300 from them. I was looking to upgrade but had a passat paid off at the time. Then two days after my bro buys the car my car gets totaled. I went to a few other dealers with a infinity g35 in mind or an Audi A4. Had the complete worst experiences ever looking for an nice and reliable car then my bro told me to check out Abe’s cars and see what he had to offer. He found me a few great cars to choose from and I fell in love with an almost mint condition volvo. A great car @ a great price! The whole experience was so painless and just a pleasure to do business with. Will highly recommend to friends and family. Thanks Abe.

I recently had a great experience purchasing a car from Abe and his wife Kay! The car I bought was in great condition, not to mention a great deal! The AD was an accurate representation of the condition of the vehicle. It was a simple and easy transaction. Probably the best customer’s service I’ve experienced at a car dealership. Simply a pleasure to deal with! Thank you!

Yesterday I went and test drove a 2005 mini cooper s convertible. the car is a fun car to drive. When I pulled out of the parking spot the rear tire touch the curb. When I got back from the test drive the owner told me I got myself a new car or I needed to give him a $ 100 for the repair. When I looked at the tire their was no damage I did not give him a $ 100. He asked me for my insurance info and I gave it to him. I really liked that car and I was considering buying it but when he came out of his office with a camera and taking picture of everything and my fiancée I told him that he lost a car sale. He seemed to know about his cars but he doesn’t know how to treat a customer. I was still considering the car even after the disagreement but my honey told me to wait one week. this morning he filed a claim against my insurance that does not seat well with me. HE DEFINITELLY LOST A SELL.

I traded in my jeep and purchased a car from Starfire and let me tell you the entire experience was a pleasure. Abe and his wife are personable and professional. I would definitely use them again for my car needs and I’m happy to give my business to an honest local small business than a massive corporation that couldn’t care less about me… and to get a great car and good price to boot!
