The cashier, Claudia, was extremely pleasant and very helpful. Sadly, the rest of the AutoStar service experience on this occasion rated no stars. I arrived with my towed vehicle late Friday afternoon helpful. Sadly, the rest of the AutoStar service experience on this occasion rated no stars. I arrived with my towed vehicle late Friday afternoon and the service rep immediately made me feel unwelcome. I explained that the SKIM warning light was showing steady on the dashboard and that the car was stalling as soon as it was started (typical of a SKIM failure). The rep took my details and said he’d try to get to it Monday. I asked about a loaner, a rental, or a ride home (the AutoStar website offers car rental) but the rep dismissed those ideas in short order and I set about walking the four miles to my home, carrying my two heavy bags and under a blazing sun (no Ubers or taxis out this way for Friday happy hour). Late Monday the rep called to say that the problem was not the SKIM but the idle air control and the fix would be “$750 out the door,” as he put it (plus a three-day wait for parts). This didn’t sound right to me – there had been no signs of any idler problem prior to the SKIM light coming on and, after checking with a couple of my mechanic pals, I decided to tow the car to another shop. The car arrived Tuesday evening and was fixed by Wednesday afternoon. When the second shop plugged in the DRB-III scanner, only one fault code came up: P1685, which is a SKIM fault. A new SKIM and new keys and the car is working perfectly (with, of course, zero idle problems). I don’t know what kind of special diagnostics AutoStar uses but they really shouldn’t be charging $109 for the mis-diagnosis in this case; and a little CRM training for the service rep might not be a bad idea. I haven’t mentioned the rep’s name intentionally: I sincerely hope that his reflection on this issue helps him to become a better and more considerate agent for AutoStar. More
