    BG brake quote
    Russ R.

    Brought my truck in to get brake rotors and pads replaced. They charged me $95.71to diagnose that the brakes and rotors needed to be replaced. Diagnostic fee NOT applied to work. Unbelievable! They then quoted a price of nearly $2,350 for the front and rear brakes $850 MORE than the dealership's inflated quote. I found another shop that did front & rear rotors and pads for $685. NEVER again BG!!

    Here is their photo of the itemized estimate

    I had my brakes go out while visiting a friend in Fort Collins. I brought my vehicle here because I saw how many great reviews I had. The salesman Brandon was extremely pushy, and having just checked all my fluid he said they had to recommend those changes anyway saying the fluid was dirty, which was absolutely 100% FALSE. Note the 'brake fluid twice on the estimate, and 'parts cleaner' twice as well as having a pretty high cost for the rotors and brake pads (definitely top end) I can get those for almost half that price without a discount at the store, same for the brake pads. Also note the 'Core charges' on there. Those are from the auto parts store and will be returned to them when they bring the old cores back in. I had a lot of hope but was extremely disappointed in the lack of honesty in this company. UPDATE The owner Mike called and was very apologetic, agreed that he would certainly discuss the extra charges with the sales team and make sure his business was on par with his specific ideals and standards with all his team members. The owner Mike does get 5 stars for his handling of the unprofessional experience I had. Will post further if I do get my vehicle serviced.

    These lady's and gentlemen are top notch. My car broke down outside of FOCO. Matt helped arrange a tow truck to come get my car and the team treated me like royalty. Frank was my point of contact and kept me apprise of my cars repair needs, etc. We are from Kansas and that posed many challenges to which this team bent over backwards to accommodate us. Thank you for your help, kindness and support.

    I love this mechanic shop a lot. They have the best service so far that I have experienced. I know this automotive thru my auto body repair shop due to my car accident 2yrs ago. They have me replaced my car engine. The moment I was here, I feel that everyone is friendly. I do get a text message about my car condition with pictures of my service advisor, the tech, part that need to be repair, etc. Mike was my service advisor. He did help me keep down the cost. I will definitely bring my car here for the maintenance service.

    Hi there. I am happy to give BG Automotive a 5 star rating. I recently had some major work done on my Lexus GX470 and am very happy with the results. They are very professional in their work and charge an honest price. I will be back for sure. They also have a great warranty. Thanks so much! Kevin G.

They were very thorough with the inspection and recommendations over the years. The repair work they did on his car was excellent. Fast forward to this August and now I have my daughter's car (Toyota Highlander) in Fort Collins and we have just completed an inspection of the car. A shout out to the service writers. Marty saw us initially Wed. at 8:00 and we realized with my appointment at a glass shop, that the inspection couldn't be completed in a timely manner. He then proceeded to work us in the next day. Brendan was the service writer that took us in for our Thurs. appointment and after inspection, explained everything that was recommended based on the mileage of the car. Being just enough of a gearhead to get me in trouble but know what is needed and what is not, I was very impressed with the quality and thoroughness of the inspection. I never felt pressured to buy any parts, products, or services. I cannot speak highly enough of the service I received. Brendan and Marty were very friendly, engaging, and professional. I also got a ride back to the place where I was staying and the driver (Kevin) was very easy to talk with. Just like an uber driver. I trust my daughter's car will be in good hands. repair order 67731

    Mr. Caputo (owner/operator) was absolutely wonderful to work with. After having repeated poor…read moreexperiences with automotive outfits all over Fort Collins, this was the proverbial pause that refreshes. He thoroughly explained to me what work needed doing. Even showed me precisely what he was talking about on the vehicle, gave me all of my options every step of the way and most importantly- did great work. His shop is considerably Spartan in comparison to most auto shops, there's not much to write home about. But this is done purposefully to keep his costs down both for himself and his customers. Where it counts, honesty, integrity and quality- there is an abundance! I have no qualms about recommending Angelo Caputo at OTS Automotive and I will be returning to him in the future.

I brought it there less than 3 months ago to have them check out the whole car to see if there were any issues. They, of course, found some issues and charged me about $2000 to fix them (ball joints, tie rods, spark plugs etc.) This was after they were supposed to have fully checked the car. I had them do all their recommended fixes, which included fixing issues with the radiator that they said were needed. Well, that is where the issues started! About 1.5 weeks later, my clutch fails without any warning. My clutch has been fully reliable and solid up to that point, no signs of wearing out. So I go back and pay them about $1500 to fix that issue. Or course, maybe a coincidence that they did not find it during their checks. The car also had some issues with the gear going into reverse that were not fixed by the clutch replacement (they claimed they did not even find it after fixing the clutch), and their response was "well, that's just a jeep". (This was their first point not standing behind their repairs). A few weeks later I go to have the oil changed and they tell me that my car is a couple quarts low on oil. Shouldn't they found this on their review of the car? (I would think so, but when I brought this up with Angelo, he said "well, we didn't check the oil".) I brought it in for a full review and they did not check the oil!?! They had done almost $3500 of work including a work-up of the car and did not EVER check the oil? OK, I let that one go too, and then a some weeks later the radiator fails - cracks and fails completely! They had just worked on the radiator and did not see any issue that would lead to a total failure? And when I brought it to them, their answer was "radiators fail all the time... when it rains, it pours". Really? Maybe it should be better stated, when you bring your car to On the Side Automotive it pours. That was the last straw. I have had good and bad mechanics in the past. Good mechanics stand behind their work and never seem to generate new issues on the car after they work on it. Bad mechanics never stand behind their work and seem to, as if by magic, generate consistent repairs on a car. Angelo seems like a nice enough guy, but based on my experience, I would not trust him with an oil change unless you want a major repair in the near future. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. I feel a lot of shame...
