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.

As a WOMAN who KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT CARS, this was my worst literal NIGHTMARE…read more I brought in my 2017 Subaru Outback (only worth about $6,000) with a clear complaint: a persistent oil/exhaust smell inside the cabin. I was told the issue was a failing head gasket and approved a $3,700 repair in good faith, trusting their expertise. Once work began, I was told there was an additional $2,300 in "necessary" repairs, bringing the total to about $6,000. I approved it, believing it would fix the issue. At no point was I told that this might not resolve my original complaint. When I picked up my car, the smell was STILL there. I brought it back in and I was told that I now needed an additional $4,000 exhaust/front pipe/gasket repair. So after spending $6,000 (the value of the entire car per multiple sources), the original issue was not fixed--and I was being asked to spend thousands more. 10K total. When I raised concerns, I was told I didn't properly distinguish between an oil smell and an exhaust smell. I am not a mechanic. It is not reasonable to expect a customer to diagnose the issue. I clearly reported a smell inside the cabin and relied on them to properly investigate and fix it. Additionally, I was then told that this can be a multi-faceted process. This would have been nice to know before I dropped $6K. I requested the diagnostic test results (ie. compression test, leak-down test, etc.) from which they used to initially diagnose the head gasket as the main problem, but I have yet to see anything. I was also charged a $140 "complimentary inspection" fee that was supposed to be credited toward repairs--but it was not removed from my bill and wouldn't have been discovered had I not taken a fine toothed comb to the invoice. On top of that, it took weeks for this to be refunded to me. In an attempt to "resolve" things, they later offered to install a USED catalytic converter--an item they had not even diagnosed as the problem in the first place--"at or below cost," which is prohibited under Colorado emissions law. When I discovered this and brought it to their attention, they immediately tried to backtrack and say that it was "actually aftermarket" and not USED. I have zero trust in this company. They will never touch my car again. I paid $6,000 trying to extend the life of my car and left with the same unresolved issue, new problems, and zero confidence in their integrity or workmanship. Proceed with extreme caution. One Pro: I now know way more about cars than I ever wished to know.

They did my head gaskets, they did a great job. Car is still running super well! Would recommend.read more
