After mixed experiences in the past with chain body shops such as Gerber, Caliber Collision, and…read moreKaizen, I searched high and low for an independently owned shop that lives up to the highest standards for quality and professionalism. In the process, I found several that are run out of barns and residences, but I finally came upon Avanti in Fort Lupton, and saw the 5-Star reviews. My initial suspicions were that this was someone with a couple of good friends - because nobody can live up to a 5-star rating. If you want to save yourself the time of reading any further, here is your spoiler alert: Grant and Avanti deserve every perfect review you'll find here. It is rare to find a small business owner who communicates as well and as diligently as Grant does. He kept in touch every step of the way, and handled my insurance carrier with ease. On this basis alone, I can say that it was a pleasure to deal with him. The quality of work was exceptional. I brought my Ford F150 to Avanti after someone vandalized the hood, scratching it badly and denting it with a rock, as well as chipping the windshield. It had a plasticoat bonnet that was scratched as well. When I picked up the truck, it looked perfectly new - and I mean perfect. Not only that, but I was astonished (and a bit embarrassed, since I spend so much time in the field hunting and fishing) to find that Grant practically detailed the truck inside and out. It hasn't been this clean or polished in months! I have dealt with many body shops over the years, and I can honestly say that Grant takes far more pride in his work and his company than anyone else you will find in his industry, short of the specialty restoration shops that charge five times the money. I cannot recommend him highly enough, and I would say that it is worth the drive to come from just about anywhere on the Front Range to bring him your vehicle if you want the very best work you could possibly find, from an honest and hard working small business.

Based on the recommendation from my insurance company, I immediately contacted a repair shop the same day as the hailstorm. I went to see them and was put on a waiting list for repairs. I waited until January of 2018, and after not having heard from them, I contacted the repair shop. I was informed that they had made the decision it wasn't in their best financial interest to do hail damage repairs. So I contacted my insurance company again to see where I could take my car. They gave me the numbers of 3 Mahnke Auto Body shops. I called Mahnke in Fort Lupton in March and was told I could bring my car in any time that was convenient for me for the repairs. Over the phone, I felt that this was the place I wanted to bring my car, even though it was not close to where I lived. I took my car there on the 29th of March. The front office staff was very friendly and informative. It took about a month for the repairs to be completed, which was less time than I expected. When I picked up my car, it looked like new. The repair staff when over the repairs that were done, the office staff checked me out quickly and efficiently, and I was on my way home with a beautifully repaired car. I would not hesitate to return there to have work done on my vehicle, and I would highly recommend this repair shop. Thank you to all who work there and did such a fantastic job on my vehicle.

We've been passively looking at used camper vans online for years, because the cost of a new one…read morefelt out of reach and the timing to purchase one wasn't right. Once our situation better aligned with moving forward with a purchase, just for grins, I searched "new" camper vans instead of searching used and I landed on a new 2025 Thor Twist at Mericle that was priced competitively with used models I'd seen. It had 1,200 miles from being driven from the factory in Indiana and was taken to a trade show, but everything Thor was unused and still under warranty. We reached out via their contact us form and was out in touch with Brandon. This is a small, mom and pop dealership-and we love supporting small businesses. Brandon was upfront and very fair. It was up there with the best "car-buying" experiences I've ever had. We corresponded by phone, FaceTime for a video walkthrough of the van and checked everything on the van to make sure everything was in order. They specialize in tow behind trailers, so the van wasn't for their primary audience. After we did our due diligence, we made arrangements to drive from Texas to Colorado to see it in person and to purchase it if everything checked out. And it did. Brandon, DJ and Mike took great care of us, getting us acquainted with all of the systems, researching and fixing a noise on the roof that ended up being some cables for the awning that had broken free of their zip tie before we headed back to Texas. No sales pressure, just genuine, nice people that went above and beyond for even out of state buyers! lol. If you're looking for a place that remembers how to give great service, reach out to them. Thank you Brandon, DJ and Mike Mericle for your patience and attention to all the details.

The quality just wasn't there--uneven finish, visible flaws, and overall not what I expected given the price. What made the situation even worse is that the reviews I relied on don't match what I experienced. After dealing with him, it really feels like some of the glowing reviews may not reflect genuine customer experiences, which is frustrating when you're trying to make an informed decision. I rarely leave negative reviews, but I wish someone had warned me. Save your money and go with a reputable, established shop instead.

I was quoted $700 for a dent repair, but once the job was finished, he told me he "would've charged…read more$1,000 for this kind of repair" and raised the price to $900. The pricing communication only came after the work was done, which felt unclear and frustrating. The repair quality was not what I expected: the wheel well body line is crooked, the dent area is wavy, and the paint doesn't match -- it looks matte, almost like there's no clear coat. When I pointed this out, he insisted it looked like the other side (it didn't) and told me I "couldn't expect perfection," which isn't acceptable for "professional" body work. To make things worse, when I picked up my car, the window had been left open during the repair and the interior was covered in toxic dust and debris, so l spent an hour cleaning it out so it was drivable. I paid $800 in cash, but overall the experience was disappointing. I wouldn't have problem paying the $800 if the repair looked acceptable. Now it's going to ultimately cost me more money to have my car repaired correctly. There are better, more reliable options out there with reviews that reflect the quality of work you can expect.

I did not fully understand that this shop was going to do a counter quote. After dropping off my car and getting my insurance info over (which I should have never done) I get notified two weeks later that my vehicle is totaled because the shop sent a counter quote back to my insurance and stripped a lot of the vehicle down and said it was going to cost upwards of 10,000 to fix in which my insurance totaled the vehicle. Because my insurance totaled the vehicle this shop would not let me have my vehicle back unless my insurance paid them over $3,000 for the "work" that was "performed" and the "daily vehicle storage fee". The car was never repaired, and I was left with a now "totaled" vehicle that only had cosmetic issues and a bent door frame... Beyond the worst experience at any shop I've ever had. Do not take your vehicle here as this shop tries to squeeze money out of insurance and will hold your vehicle hostage. Edit after shop reply 10/30/25: My first mistake was dropping the vehicle off. My second mistake was sending my insurance info over. All I wanted was the door bent back straight and a basic repair. When I dropped my vehicle off I don't remember it being clear that you were going to do a tear down and then charge a storage fee towards insurance. After I finally Received my vehicle back from your shop I put my own vehicle back together after I got it back and it took me about 2hrs. Charging my insurance $3000 for no actual repair work is insane. I remember quote for quote what you said to insurance since they hadn't paid you yet and they were only willing to pay you around $1200 for vehicle storage and the "work" preformed.. you said "that's not good enough." because you wanted over $3000 from my insurance for this "work" that was preformed and storage fees... aka just a tear down of the inner fender, the outer fender flair the front bumper and grill taken off and lights off. (The only reason I brought this vehicle in is because wind pulled the driver door open and bent the hinges and slightly cracked where the hinges are welded to the A pillar. A simple fix is all I asked for not a full a pillar replacement...." you bent the front fender while getting the door open (which I could have done myself but wanted to try and not bend anything more which is why I took this to a shop in the first place...) and then did a full tear down of the driver side door including taking the glass out.. I don't even care about that Jeep anymore and was willing to just give it away at that point in this process because of how pissed off I was and still am about this whole thing. You should have called me before sending any "supplement" to my insurance. Moral of the story for anyone who is considering this shop: don't involve insurance with this shop or you will be sitting between a shop feud with your insurance as the shop is trying to squeeze money out of the insurance company. They might like to do repair work but all this shop sees when you have insurance involved is dollar signs.

He removed the dent so it's flawless. The paint is a tri-coat process; he made sure that, too, was perfect. The best, though, is that René and his wife, Jolene, are a team whose family-owned business, Epic Dent Pros, is dedicated to delivering the highest quality work product at a more than reasonable price. Their ethics are above reproach. Jolene's communication throughout the process was second to none, after René provided a detailed bid, she advised me of his progress until completion.
