Facing a STAR Program Action by the Bureau of Automotive Repair?

For most STAR rated shops that is 60% to 70% of their business gone, virtually overnight.

Getting a letter in the mail is exciting, or it might be. Itโ€™s more likely to be an email now. But a letter might be grandpa or grandma sending you a birthday gift. Maybe there’s money inside! It could be a bill (not so exciting), or it could be junk mail.
