Hoshi Motors is my idea of an excellent, well-managed local business and I'm very grateful to have them for my auto maintenance. From routine maintenance to major repairs, along with occasional shuttling, they've been outstanding in all respects. I recently had some major work done on my 20+ year old Tacoma, and it was accomplished promptly according to schedule and cost estimates. On the other hand, I had a warning light come on a couple of years ago, so I just took it by and they quickly discovered a pinhole leak in the gas cap and had the part waiting for me at the Toyota dealership nearby - done. Outstanding auto repair business!

Impeccable service when dealing with a tough to diagnose issue. I really appreciated the manager going out of his way to look into my problem. I also appreciated David at the front desk for his kind service.Definitely will come back to Hoshi!

I've lived in Boulder for 35 years and have never heard one negative thing said about Hoshi Motors. I took my 200 4-Runner in for an electrical issue and they had it fixed and back to me the same day. They could have upsold me for another $500 at least but instead only charged me $145 to fixe the wiring harness. The owner Brandon and every other person I interacted with were super friendly and professional. They made me feel like a loyal customer of 35 years! Far and away one of the best experiences I've had out of many over the years at various shops. I will be going to Hoshi from now on!

We bought a new (to us) Honda Element, and took it to Hoshi to get checked out.This place and the techs in particular are just incredibly skilled and helpful. Our tech was Nick Schaller. After this tech finished with our Honda, it was like a completely different car. Money well spent at this place! If you have any issues with your car, do yourself a favor, don't waste time shopping around. Just take it to Hoshi, and if it's a Honda, see Nick!Thanks Hoshi for your help and for hiring good people!

Always extremely helpful, transparent, communicative, and friendly. They've helped fix up issues with my Pilot several other mechanics couldn't, at an ever cheaper price. They truly care to help you - not pull money from you. I won't go anywhere else

Great shop and staff. Appreciated that they provided pictures of work done. Easy to schedule and quick work.Dropped off my truck the night before services and the owner was there to make sure I parked in the best spot for security.CB

I can't recommend this place enough. I've been going to Hoshi for about 6 years now and I think it's special how strongly I feel about the team and the service they provide. They've always been honest, trustworthy and reliable. Brown has always helped me to think through repairs in my car and how to best tackle big financial investments. And most recently, the whole team went above and beyond in a recent car fiasco that really won be over even more than they already had. I thought my car was done for good and everyone at Hoshi including- Janelle, Brown and the owner, Brandon, helped me answer big questions about how to go about buying a new car (I've never bought a new car, I am a single woman and don't have a lot of men in my life that can help me think through this). But Hoshi made sure to make me feel like I have them to support me and guide me through such an endeavor like buying a new car! Thanks to the wise and sound advice from Brandon I was able to get my broken down car over to the team at Hoshi- and to my good fortune, she's up and running again! The last 2 weeks could have been super overwhelming and stressful for me, but they weren't and a huge part of that was because of this whole team and how kind, helpful and good they are to their customers. Yay Hoshi!

There was a strange rattling noise under the car and we brought it in for an inspection. After charging us for $180, they gave us no answer as to what the noise could have been. We don t think they ever drove it around the block to listen to the mystery noise. What a scam. Don t let the cute puppy fool you. For a basic oil change, they may be able to get it done. But for a mechanical diagnostic, they don t have what it takes. It was our first time and also the last time we ever wanna spend a single dime at this place. We re never gonna go back and we ll make sure none of our friends make the same mistake as we did by spending money here for nothing. P.S. I m not a bot!!!

In and out for an oil change in 45 min. Asked for a tire rotation, too. They measured the tread and told me the rotation wasn't needed. Most shops would've just done the rotation for the extra $50. Nice to see honest shops still exist.

I had a problem with some shielding coming loose under my car, I work night shift so you can imagine my relief when the worker took my car right away without hesitation. Didn't even charge me a penny, trust me, this is the honest mechanic shop you want to purchase services from.

Hoshi are the absolute best. I ve been taking my car here for more than a decade and the service is fantastic (customer and car). I went in for a headlight replacement today, turned out the bulb was just loose and when I asked what I owed they smiled and said why would we ever charge for that? That s definitely not the case everywhere and just one more reason in a long line of reasons to go here!Service: General repairs & maintenance

This place is awesome they serviced my dads car and always do a great job I came in and needed help to use a trickle charger and the mechanic took me to the back and showed me exactly what to do and made sure my trickle charger was working. Great place with good people.

Hoshi Motors is the best mechanic I've ever taken my car. Seriously. They charge a fair rate; they have good customer service; and I've never had a problem develop with my engine after they went under the hood.

Mike was very helpful at getting me in quickly to look at a problem with my windshield wiper reservoir and filled my tires all for free! I trust this place and they have great customer service. The place is light filled, and adorned with beautiful flowers and plants. And it s a bonus that it s right next to a coffee shop- I will definitely be using these guys for all future care for my Subaru.

I am so glad that I found Hoshi Motors! I am a 20-something which often makes it hard to find shops that will be honest with me about what my car needs and not charge me for extraneous repairs. I love that everyone at Hoshi is always very transparent about my options (often showing me pictures of issues on my car so I can understand exactly what is being referenced). I do my best to stay educated on matters with my car, but it's nice to know that I go to great shop that has my back. Not to mention, everyone that works here is so friendly (even once helping me clear snow off my car when I picked it up). You rock!Services: General repairs & maintenance, Brakes, Oil change

I had such a positive experience! They found out that my car was covered under an extended warranty and did not charge me for the inspection. Excellent shuttle service as well. Highly recommend!Service: Auto engine diagnosticService: Auto engine diagnostic

When your brakes start screeching at 3pm on Friday, on your way to a road trip, where can you go to get your car checked out and repaired? Brown and the good folks (and Louie) at HOSHI MOTORS got me fixed up and on the road in no time flat, and it didn t unravel the budget for my trip either. Granted, I am a longtime loyal customer of HOSHI , but I believe YOU would get the same incredible customer service if you needed Urgent Care for your vehicle . THANK YOU Brown & the mechanics who helped get me back on track on my vacation! You are all Rock Stars!

I love Hoshi so much. They are always so kind and accommodating and totally willing to be honest about whether a service is truly needed yet or not, which is great since i have definitely experienced sexism at other car repair shops in the past, but I never feel like that happens here. they've also waived labor charge once when something went wrong the day after the car was in the shop and it had to go back in (it was actually an unrelated issue). The woman working today remembered my name when i returned and i think Brown also remembered me based on when I'd been in nearly a year ago and from the recent phone conversation. Also, a friendly dog is also often around, and there is a rocket ship model in the lobby for some reason which is cute. So glad these guys upgraded to a bigger location to accommodate their growing business. Thank you Hoshi team!!

Holy smokes, were these reviews right!!! I've always been skeptical of mechanics because I've been upcharged ridiculously before. Got some recommendations for Hoshi off my NextDoor, read the reviews here, so I booked an appointment to take my Honda in for an oil change and door handle replacement.Professional and friendly staff that quoted me a good price, fixed my problems, and also fixed a key and my back wiper for me!! Amazing! Just found where I'm taking my car from now on. Thank you for such wonderful service and a terrific experience! :)

Definitely recommend these guys. They've been servicing my Honda CR-V for more than 10 years now. They offer honest, great service and help with prioritizing repairs. The owner goes above & beyond with customer service.

This shop is unbelievably helpful. I have a high mileage Outback XT, and I have lost count of the number of times Hoshi and their mechanics have gone above and beyond to either diagnose or fix a problem. They have always stood by their work and by their word. Repair costs have been reasonable, and they always provide options where possible, e.g. rebuilt parts or alternative solutions. I highly recommend.Services: General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine diagnostic, Auto maintenance

Good service at a fair price. Their staff are very friendly and communicate well. My car was stalling, so I dropped it off at Hoshi without an appointment and they were still able to see to it in a reasonable time frame.

I buy my cars based on whether Hoshi can service them. Friendly, knowledgeable, patient and honest, this is the rare breed of car service everyone should get. Been a loyal customer for almost 25 years.

Hoshi Motors is amazing. The mechanics are professional, kind and explain everything to you (the issues with the car, tests they re running, different options for fixing the car.) They make you feel super in the loop about what s going on with your vehicle.

Brandon listened to my description, asked questions, made a concession to a request that he didn't need to. Hoshi provided detailed description of my issue(s) and executed quickly to correct them. They even got me a couple used replacement parts to save me some money. Great service!
