I rolled into Brakes Plus sounding like a literal freight train on its last leg --I'm surprised pedestrians weren't diving out of the way. My brakes were SCREAMING for help. Then Andy hits me with, "Wait... I know you." Turns out he remembered me from renting his car four years ago?? Sir, what kind of customer service memory is that Not only did they fix my disaster of a car fast, they had it feeling smooth and quiet again like nothing ever happened. AND they casually threw in an oil change like it was no big deal?? 10/10 experience. Came in sounding like chaos, left feeling like a responsible adult with a functioning vehicle. Andy and the team are legends. read more

I had made an appointment for 2 pm. I arrived five minutes early and all the guys were in a meeting. They did not wait on me until five after two. There was one other lady with a 2 o'clock appointment and two walk-ins. For some reason, they took the two walk-ins ahead of us and I waited 40 minutes and they hadn't taking my car in yet to the bays. When I asked for my keys back, they just gave them to me and never even apologized or tried to rectify the situation. Very poor service in my opinion and I will never go back there or recommend to anyone else. read more

Went in for an oil change and tire rotation. They said they rotated the tires but we know they didn't because they didn't ask for the wheel lock key. Asked them twice and they lied twice. Now we wonder if they actually changed the oil. The filter was definitely changed but since they were dishonest about one thing it makes you wonder. The oil on the dip stick wasn't black but wasn't exactly new looking. No longer trust them. Taking our business elsewhere. read more

Have been back twice now spent over a grand and my check engine light is still coming on. Service was horrible.

had an appointment at 3pm and didn't leave the place until 5pm for a simple break check that is free. Nice people but wish I they didn't promise a 30min turnaround when it ended up being 2 hours read more

if you value your life, you may want to consider going elsewhere. I had my brakes and control arms replaced here on June 16th and yesterday (three weeks later) lost all braking and emergency braking with no warning on a downhill dirt back road up in the foothills. Luckily the hill had a decent runout so was barely able to coast to a stop. If it had happened two minutes later, the very next downhill was super-steep, ending in a sharp switchback/drop-off that I would not have recovered from. I discovered afterward that the bolt that holds the brake assembly bracket to the steering knuckle had been sheared off in the knuckle, so it had just been left hanging there, so the assembly was free to jostle around, putting huge strain on the little brake fluid line which subsequently failed. So, the tech either sheared off the bolt while removing or installing it, or it was sheared beforehand and they didn't mention it, both of which are pure negligence. read more

Went for a total brake job. Immediately after a rattle in the back started. and quit when applying brakes. Took in and Jacob put it on the rack and tried to tell my wife it was in the differental which didn't make any sense. Went to local shop and nothing wrong with differential ,it was loose heat shield and brake caliper which Brakes Plus didn't ev even bother checking their job. Piss poor company!!! read more

Best Service Ever! My brakes were screeching very badly. Per my daughter who had recently got new brakes, I called Brakes Plus on Wadsworth in Arvada Colorado. I left the car and was prepared to hear the bad news that I needed front and rear brakes. Instead, I received a call from Kory explaining that I did not need new brakes. They were able to fix a couple items and it is good as new. Kory explained what they did and if I should have any more issues to come back. Everyone in this place was honest, kind, patient, knowledgeable, and actually listened. They could have told me anything and I would not have known the difference. I have not had this type of service for many years. I will be referring them to everyone I know. Date of experience: September 18, 2024 read more

I had some repairs done recently at the Toyota dealership, and they had recommended replacing my rear brake pads as well as some additional maintenance, so I visited this Brakes Plus to hopefully have the brakes and fluid exchanges done at a more affordable rate. I was really pleased with my experience here. I brought my car in on a Wednesday just before 1pm (without an appointment, but I had called ahead) and it was finished the same day before they closed at 6pm. They replaced my spark plugs, did a fuel induction service, and exchanged the coolant, power steering fluid, and brake fluid. The total for all of this was about half as much as the estimate I had gotten at the dealership. They also confirmed that the rear brake pads still had a decent amount of life left and didn't need replacing at the time, and there was no additional cost for the brake inspection. There's also lots of coupons on their website that I was able to apply to the total. Everyone was pleasant and helpful, and I appreciated the honesty and quick turnaround. I will definitely use them again when I do end up needing brakes or other maintenance. read more

These folks here have done a great job taking care of me in the past. Quality service has always been completed on my vehicle and accommodations have always been to continue my business with this location. For future customers. I can tell you that the customer service has been fantastic at the front desk and they have never pushed anything on me without what I feel is an honest assessment of vehicle issues. In this day and age, I think we have all become accustomed to staffing shortages. What frustrates me is when you set an appointment, they usually cannot provide maintenance on the vehicle until 45 minutes to an hour after arrival. That has been my experience upon every visit. I'm unsure if it is a staffing issue or lack of prioritization for customers who set an appointment. read more

Very disappointed with my experience at Brakes Plus Arvada. I had a 9:00 appointment for an alignment and didn't hear, so I called at3:30. They told me they had a few ahead of mine and that they would still try to get it done that day. I called the next morning and they said it was done. Obviously making an appointment doesn't matter. After driving it for a couple of days, it handled much worse then before. I took it to lakewood alignment they said it was way off. They realied it and now it is much better. read more

This breaks plus will be the only place that I take ANY of my cars too!! The staff is amazing the manager Nick is an amazing man and Mike is great as well. They are super friendly and helped me out in ways I could never imagine and that I haven't found any where else. They took their time on my car wich I appreciate and made sure that my car was safe before I left. I will recommend them to anyone and everyone that I know! If I could give them more then just 5 stars I would no doubt. read more

I made an appointment on line for 4pm for brake replacement. Arrived for appointment and they told me it was a que based system. So, even though I had a 4pm confirmed appointment, they said it would be about 2 hours before they could see me...note, they close at 6pm. Incredibly frustrating. I went to their competitor Midas and had a great experience, along with a much more comfortable waiting area. read more

*PLEASE READ* Before bringing your vehicle here. After working and being apart of this company I *HIGHLY* recommend taking your vehicle elsewhere. The new manager here is very unprofessional and argues with customers like a child. I have witnessed customers waiting all day just to be taken care of within a reasonable time. This business also treats their technicians poorly and will force you to do a lot of free labor so if you have any major responsibilities this isn't for you. I have seen a lot of technicians leave within the time I've been here. A lot of promises are made but cannot be met. I've seen customers come back with wheels that have fallen off their vehicle for not being torqued. If the shop was actually being managed instead of goofing around maybe customers would leave happy with their services. They would keep good quality techs if they weren't taking advantage of them. Management needs to step up and work instead of sitting in the back and watching everyone else work. read more

Came in on what seemed like an especially busy day. There was a line literally out the door. I was still serviced with what I needed. Helpful guys who work efficiently. read more

I brought them a rotor that needed to be turned. (O'Reilly doesn't have a big enough machine and Firestone's was broken). The minimum spec on the rotor is 32.4mm. They checked it and the deepest groove was 32.99, so there was plenty of material left. They refused to turn the rotor for me. I pointed out that they could turn it to the deepest groove and it still would not be down to the minimum spec but they said they would not turn it that thin. It cost me over $100 more to buy a new rotor because I was out of options and time. Bastards. read more

Easy to schedule. Staff helpful and friendly. Arvada brakes plus provided free Lyft ride from their business to my home and back to pick up my car. That's a nice touch! read more

disappointing "Unfortunately, my experience at Brakes Plus was highly disappointing. The customer service was lacking, and the quality of work on my vehicle's alligment was not even done I watched them pull it up for 5 minutes then call me and tell me that they couldn't align it. Not only did I have to wait longer than expected, but the issue i have is I had made an appointment week in advance dropped it off at 9AM to get it back at 2:30PM I would advise seeking alternative automotive services elsewhere." read more

I made a Yelp account to write this review. My experience with this particular Brakes Plus has been absolutely abhorrent. After installing front and rear brake pads, front rotors and a new front caliper, I've had nonstop issues with noise due to faulty installation. I went back twice to find they had accidentally BENT a rotor plate causing grinding. They fixed this. Great. But I continued to hear noise so I went back to find the rear shield of one of the brake pads had simply fallen off due to "bad adhesive". I continue to hear noise and squeaking to this day. I've been back to this location maybe 8 times in the past few months and dropped well over $1,000 at this point. I'm appalled that a shop specializing in brake installation drops the ball like this. Avoid this shop at all costs! read more

These guys are absolutely amazing! Markus was very helpful in getting my car up and going as he knew I had to be on the road soon and he was very kind! 100% recommend read more

Mark and Ruben helped me out got me in an out quick. Great service. Fast work and good quality! And super nice helpful people!

They put my brakes together wrong. I took it back for a fix but still had an issue. Took my car to a real mechanic and found out the brake assembly was put together wrong on both front tires. For people who do the same thing all day, they don't know what they are doing. Avoid this place. read more

Best place in town for service! They cleaned up a mess from another shop! Definitely recommend!

Thanks again brakes plus! I'm back on the road! Wade has always been very knowledgeable and kind when I was getting routine work done on my car the last five or so years. I was especially impressed with the time and care he took with my transmission going out. He got my car done in a timely fashion so I could have my car back for work and it drives perfectly. They were fair priced and followed up on the work after I had left. Thank you for everything. read more

These guys are literally AMAZING. My car broke down as I was headed out of town for the weekend. I came to them in a panic (oops ‍) and they dropped everything to help and get me back on the road. This was all right before they were supposed to close. Very rarely do you find people so willing to help at the last hour. Thanks guys! read more

5465 Wadsworth Byp Arvada, CO 80002 This location has earned my loyalty for life! I will be taking my car for service to this location going forward. The Customer Service was five star! They were fast, efficient, and friendly. They blessed my day. -Adrianne Tafoya read more

These guys are great! Had to come from summit county on barely any brakes. We were able to get in and get them changed all before the morning soccer game. Highly recommended! read more

Extremely friendly, great customer service. My car was ready earlier then anticipated and everyone I spoke to was kind and helpful. They also have good coupons in their website and you can combine them. I will be bringing my other car in for service! read more

I've been here many times and always great service. Last time in I had oil change and tire rotation. I also had brakes inspected and given estimate of cost to repair my front brakes soon. Very professional guys. read more

Incredibly helpful and HONEST staff! I went in for a standard alignment, they did the standard bit and called back to communicate that if they continued with the alignment it would cost $300-$400 more. They then recommended that I was in safe enough proximity to being perfectly aligned they'd suggest I not spend the extra money. I also asked for feedback on my brakes because I'd been told I needed to get them replaced by the Audi dealership, and they checked them out and confirmed that I do NOT need new brakes yet. They have my business moving forward! read more

I really like this Brakes Plus, David Vigil was so super helpful and Ruben was very good at customer service, too. They are knowledgeable and kind. They go the extra mile for each customer that come into the shop. I felt safe with my new premium brakes!! They take care of you with an honest smile. read more

I was helped out by a guy named Mark today, and it was the best service I have received at an auto repair shop!! not to mention the quickest in & out service I've had, and great prices. Mark was very kind and knowledgeable, incredible customer service! Thank you Mark! you made my day smooth and my car happy. read more

Went in for my 5K mile service. It was quick and people very friendly. I was told that my car needed new struts since some oil was leaking. The entire cost incl. realignment of the tires was about 900$. But the guys were honest enough to tell me that it was NOT urgent, and that if I was planning on selling the car in about an year, they would NOT get it done. They also said my brakes were perfect, and didn't need any addnl. servicing. 48$ and I walked out smiling. Kudos to their HONESTY in a business where it is very valued! read more

This is one place I did not feel I was being taken advantage of as a girl. Discount Tires recommended me to get the threading for a bolt fixed here and I am so thankful I went. They were so friendly and updated me with great contact so I knew what was going on, while also giving me recommendations for upcoming services. Their price was a good $50 cheaper than Midas or other places I have felt that they just throw out a number to take whatever they can. This was a while back and I continue to go back there because the customer service is top notch and they don't try to throw random services or parts at you. Wade, the GM, and one of the technicians, Ruben, are my favorite, but everyone there is so friendly and they all show that they genuinely care and want to do what's best for you and your vehicle. I seriously will not go anywhere else! read more

I called this place after I originally was quoted for replacing my brake pads and rotors and I was quoted double what I was expecting. I called brakes plus literally because of how close they're located. I was very impressed they not only did a complete overhaul of my brakes and rotors, they were able to replace my hardware do a complete brake flush and still were way under budget of what I was expecting. They did a great job in a relatively short time and I was pleased to get exactly what I was paying for . The only reason for not giving them a 4 star rating is because I am a woman and I felt that when they called me to tell me my car was finished I felt rushed and pushed into giving a payment over the phone. I would never pay for the service until I have physically seen the work in person. read more

Both my spouse and I were targets of Wade's upselling. Two separate appointments, both vehicles needed repairs that 'shouldn't wait on'. $1,000 estimated total!! Our mechanic at an independent shop said we didn't need the work. Won't return here. read more

Service at this location is terrible. I scheduled an appointment to bring my car in at 9. 7 hours later and several excuses they still did not look at my car. What's the point of scheduling an appointment a week out if you won't even look at it. I've been going here for several years and the service used to be excellent they must have changed management. Unfortunately I won't be coming back. read more

This place is a rip off! My girlfriend took her car there for a brake inspection and they quoted her over $800! They said she needed a system flush, new pass and rotors for the front and rear, and hardware for the pads. If I wasn't around when they called with the estimate, she would have fallen for it. When we went to pick her car up, I explained that was way out of our budget, and he said that the hardware and flush weren't necessary and that would save money. I took her car to a different shop for a second opinion and it turns out that it only needed front rotors and pads, no hardware because it came with the new pads. In the end, she paid 1/4 of what Brakes Plus was trying to get away with. I wish there was a negative star option! I will NEVER go back or recommend anyone there! read more

Will never know how their work is as they can't manage there scheduled appointments. Called 3days prior to schedule, was told that they were busy and short handed, so I pushed the appointment back. Arrived onsite and was again told they were busy and short handed and it would be a while before they could get it in. WHY MAKE AN APPOINTMENT IF YOU CANT HANDLE THE BUSINESS. If you know you're short handed then take less appointments in order to be able to handle your business. read more

Ruben was wonderful. I walked in on a Monday morning without an appointment and they were able to replace my battery the same day. It was such a relief. Thank you so much! read more
