Star Auto Authority was founded in Glenview, Il. as C&M Auto Service in 1984. After 15 successful years, the company opened a second, much larger (24,000 sq. ft.) mechanical repair facility in 2001 in Vernon Hills, Il. In 2007, the partners separated C&M into two companies and Mike Starovich took the reigns in Vernon Hills. In July, 2008, C&M debuted as Star Auto Authority, Inc. In August of 2011, we added our collision center business to our mechanical services offered, and the collision business has grown rapidly ever since. In 2016, 2000 square feet was added, and in 2017, a separate Star Auto Authority company was born--Star Auto Authority Collision, Inc.which is now about 30% of the total business (70% mechanical). We offer more than 30 loaners, digital inspections, and service and value second to none. Our friendly, experienced staff will treat you like our closest friends and relatives. That's because we hire nice, intelligent people that get things done right.

Ken did a wonderful job from start to finish taking care of my car. I got into a car accident on Wednesday had an estimate by Thursday and they started working on my car Friday and I got my car back in one week.. Ken was able to negotiate with the insurance company in order to get my car fixed the right way after they lowball it of course. The car looks great and I would highly recommend going to starAuthority for any of your auto needs.

The entire team was great to work with at Star Auto for collision repairs to my car, but Jake who I predominately communicated with was top notch. Amazing customer service and really provided me with the assurance that my car was in great hands with them. Consistent communication via phone and email and never had to hunt him down to find answers. If all companies modeled the same customer service experience you provide for your customers, they would be much better off. Thank you Jake and Star Auto!
