Where do I start? Peak Auto Service is not only the best auto shop I've ever experienced in the…read more20+ years since I began driving, but Mike (who runs the place) might just be the fairest, kindest, and most caring person I've ever met in my entire life. My boyfriend & I were just beginning a cross-country journey from Austin, Texas through New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, and Nevada when our van suddenly died not ten miles after crossing over the New Mexico border. After being towed to a completely unhelpful auto shop in Raton, NM, a couple days later we were able to get towed to Peak Auto Service just after 5pm on a Sunday. I found Mike helping someone else in the parking lot, (though the shop was supposed be closed) and Mike agreed to take a look at our car on Monday, although there is a typical wait of up to 3 days. We knew the problem with the van was very likely related to the fuel pump assembly & electrical and that the tank would have to be dropped to assess the situation, so it was no small task to squeeze us in. Mike & his crew assessed the situation and installed a new fuel pump assembly that we'd purchased (which, they don't normally do), but soon discovered the fuel pump harness was likely a larger part of the issue, so they spent hours calling junkyards in town, trying to find a fuel pump harness for our make/model. A fuel pump harness in perfect condition couldn't be found in the short time we were hoping to fix the van, so they found one that they ended up splicing with the one we had. They had us on the road at the end of our second day there and definitely didn't charge us anywhere near where I expected the bill to be. Before we left, Mike also made sure our fluids & tires were all filled up for our long trip, at no extra cost, as well as taking extra care to point out exactly where all the important components were that we should be reviewing & maintaining before a long journey. Once on the road, Mike sent a message to me checking in to see if we & the van had made it safely to our destination. This is where the review would end for most mechanics (and, even there is pretty amazing), but on our way back, we had more issues with the van to which Mike helped us troubleshoot enough to get us back to his shop in Colorado Springs. Once there, he checked what was going on, along with fluids & tires, again, and found that the shop who'd recently repaired a blowout we had on our way home hadn't properly replaced the valve and we were lucky not to have another blowout. They fixed everything up and, again, barely charged us a dime. While we were waiting for the van to be fixed, I overheard Mike on the phone with a customer telling him how they'd found a way to repair something in their car instead of buying a new component and were saving them ~$150... With this kind of service, I can understand why there is a 3-day wait for Peak Auto Service. I'm certain that if we'd stayed in Raton, NM, our van would have never been fixed and we would not have made it to our destination. Within the next year, my boyfriend & I plan to move to Denver and the drive from there to Colorado Springs will be a small price to pay to have the best mechanic in the world work on our van. TL;DR - Best auto shop ever - Fair prices - Creative, competent, & kindest mechanics on the planet

We couldn't be happier with the results...the vehicle looks good as new, absolutely flawless repairs and paint job. Body panels are aligned well and look original. Paint matches perfectly. Everything is functioning as it should and we haven't had any issues since getting the vehicle back. The process took longer than we were quoted and that we had hoped, but Chris and the team did an excellent job keeping us updated throughout the process and setting expectations about timeline even when it took longer than expected. It seems one just needs to expect that auto body work is going to take a long time. The team is friendly and knowledgable, and it seems like they genuinely want to do an excellent job and provide great customer service. If you are trying to decide where to go for major auto body work, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Karle!

You would never know my car had damage. They even hand painted the stripe down the side and it is identical to the original. They were very easy to work with and did a phenomenal job.

After they tried to charge me $500 more for a job they quoted and I paid, they tried to swindle me into paying another $500 in addition to the $550 they originally quoted me. MINEKE, I'm assuming, made sure my A/C wasn't working at all, even though when I dropped it off, my A/C was blowing out cold air when moving, just not when it was idling. MINEKE claimed they fixed it. But, when I came to get it, the A/C was constantly blowing warm air now AND took it back to them the same day. After they said there was another issue with A/C they "missed", I lost my trust with them immediately! I then took it to my go to mechanics and they told me there was nothing wrong with my A/C. They apparently disconnected something in my A/C in their attempt to bring it back in to them where they reconnected my A/C in an attempt to cover their asses. when I then took it to my go to mechanic shop, they ran a test on my A/C and found nothing! I could have believed them, like many people probably have, but thankfully i didnt! DONT TRUST THIS PLACE!!! THEY ARE ONLY INTERESTED IN TAKING YOUR HARD EARNED CASH!! BUYERS BEWARE!
