Two trashed rims, thanks  to Denver potholes.
D W.

TJ the manager really saved my b*tt this time around. Auto repair is really all about diagnostics, most competent mechanics can fix a problem once they know what the problem is but, that's the easy part. I ran my '03 vette into a baaaad pothole at night recently, really hammered the front right wheel. I was able to drive it the short distance home and waited to see the damage the next day. Not pretty - the wheel rim was really torn up and the 'nose' torn and trashed. Not safe to drive with that wheel. Short version, I got a new front right rim, had a tire shop mount/balance it then took the car to TJ and Brakes Plus for a 4 wheel alignment. TJ pointed out the rear right rim had a chunk out of it too, I'd not even seen. Ouch. So another new rim and tire balancing. The car was still making a bad road related noise, and pulling a bit too. All my Corvette 'expert' friends said, the tires have hidden damage, the steel belt has come loose inside, etc, and/or the wheel bearings got whacked. But both wheels balanced fine on the new rims, damaged tires didn't make sense really. Bearings, maybe. Back to TJ, asked him to give it a good look. Well again, he found a problem I had no idea of - the rear left rim is also bent! You could not notice the problem looking at it standing still, I didn't at least. That would explain a lot, and he recommended a good local shop that could straighten the rim. I had no idea that could even be done or certainly not locally; in my head I was checking off buying another $400 rim. TJ did suspect the front bearings a bit, his guys said they heard a bit of noise from them but at 110K miles, no surprise that they might be iffy. Once I get these urgent problems fixed, I'll be back for that work plus maybe new brakes. AND, he didn't charge me a dime, even after I kind of insisted I pay some kind of diag fee. You just don't find that kind of expert service and treatment often these days.

This place is so great. I was worried I would have a huge bill- needing new brakes- but they assured me they're fine and I'm good to go.

Honestly. They fixed my car a year ago for a water pump and over heating issue and then my car…read moreoverheated almost exactly a year later. I came in to see what happened and they said that the little plastic coolant pipes that go to the water pump were dissolving. I'm honestly quite annoyed because I feel like this is something that should have been noticed a year ago and I highly doubt this wear and tear appeared in a year on a car that already had 170,000 miles. I ended up going to another guy that actually cares about older cars (mine's a 2006) and he figured out it was another gasket in my engine, not a head gasket like they were claiming. Applewood wanted to charge me $4800 in total for a car I paid $3000 for. My mechanic was able to do it for $560 because he just replaced the radiator cap and plastic gasket that gets worn down at almost 170,000 miles each time. I also am a woman so when I called them they used a very sarcastic tone with me and kept gaslighting me on the issue. Sure a head gasket repair may have fixed the problem but I would have wildly overpaid. I added my inspection report that was wildly overstated and would have costed me $4800 for something that they should have already replaced or told me about considering they had replaced my entire water pump and the hose connecting to it.

Do not recommend. They did not recognize a vehicle and work they did previously and attempted to…read morecharge for the same issue. They misquoted me as saying "just get the car running" instead of getting it drivable. The. They contrived a bogus recall story and passed us off to a dealership when there was no recall just cause they didn't want to own up to their bs.
