My rear bumper
Wb L.

I am a forever fan of Hugo and Jess! I went to Castle Body Shop about 2 years ago in 2022. I got rear ended a few weeks ago. I called Hugo and he asked me how's my car and remembered the model of my vehicle which impressed me. Hugo and Jess kept me updated and they were able to repair my vehicle perfectly. Thank you again!

Hugo really cares about you and the car. Great service , honest personality, and a great friend. Thanks Hugo and team.

Before: On the day of the collision.
Michael C.

After a collision that badly damaged the front end of my Smart Car, Hugo and Jess at Castle Auto Body went above and beyond to restore it. Despite the astronomical estimated expense(s) to do so, the insurance company did not total the car, and approved the lengthy list of necessary repairs. It was a six-week process (with a holiday in the middle) that involved a lot of back-and-forth with the insurance company and a third-party vendor for the steering components. And then there were back-ordered parts that weren't readily available. But the end result was worth the aggravation and wait time (with the outside entities). The car handles so much better than it did before the collision, from the steering to the suspension and the brakes. I highly recommend Castle. They are so professional and highly skilled at their work. And are really great guys personally.

This is a long over due review but better late than never right? To summarize a very long story Castle body shop did an absolutely amazing job fixing my poor car. My boyfriend and I were in a traumatic deer accident that completely messed up my beloved Subie. Without going into too much boring detail my insurance deemed the car totaled then decided after month that it was fixable after all(stupid insurance) with all the back and forth I wanted to make sure to find a body shop that really knew what they were doing and that I could trust. Jesse and Hugo took such amazing care of me and my car, it looks brand new. I couldn't recommend them enough! I've actually recommended them to many friends and family since and they all had the same wonderful experience! Oh and on a very random side note I had a glass bottle of soda that was left in the car that exploded after freezing in below zero Colorado winter. It made a terrible mess, I was so worried about how I was going to clean it up. They took care of it! You would've thought they just replaced the interior completely it was so nice inside. Jesse even said it was the hardest part of fixing my car Hahaha!

Car was hit by debris on the freeway.

I just got my car back from Hugo and the team at Castle Auto Body. I could not be more impressed with their quality of work, professionalism, care, coordination and management of my insurance claim. I really doubt it could've been handled better anywhere else. I plan to bring in all of my future auto work and insurance claims here. Wonderful people. Good companies are hard to find, I was blessed to be referred to this shop. They are pure gold.

Castle Auto Body and Porsche 911

The only place I'll be taking my Porsche 911 to. Castle Auto Body is the type of car shop your dad would speak highly of: locally owned and managed, run by a staff that is knowledgeable, highly skilled and honest, and with turnaround times that are practically nosebleed swift when you factor in locating parts and the usual German factory waitlists. I came to Jesse and Hugo per the recommendation of my good friend who runs a Porsche specialized shop, and I'm so glad I did. I rear ended someone at 5pm and by 10am the next day my car was in their shop being assessed. It didn't look so bad in photos but I couldn't open the driver side door at all, the front bumper was indented, the broken headlight is a complete part that moves independently to track to turns... It was a tricky repair that they did FLAWLESSLY. Castle Auto Body never made me lift a finger, Hugo and Jesse proactively handled every possible interaction they could with my insurance company. They located the required parts locally (saving me lots of time and rental car expenditures) when I was expecting a 6 week wait from factory. They went out of their way to accommodate my changing schedule and worked closely with the Enterprise rental car agency located directly next door to make this process incredibly smooth. When I got my car back, not only had they expertly repaired (with the EXACT required parts, they take no part in the usual insurance "close enough" BS) my baby but they also touched up small imperfections and had fully detailed it. WOW! I am so grateful and satisfied! Thank you gentlemen!

See all

My Tacoma which I've had since it was new 18 years ago started making some weird noise that I…read morecouldn't figure out what it was from. I took it in to a place AAA recommended in downtown LA and explain the issue. They told me I needed a new timing chain along with a whole bunch of other stuff and quotes me $4800 for it. This was preceded with a lot of scare tactics on what will happen if I don't have the work done, which came across as very used car salesman-ish. When I ran the quote through ChatGPT I was told they were charging me dealership pricing for an independent mechanic for that type of work in LA. So I brought the truck here to Speedway where I had Minor worked done before and had a good experience. They told me my bearings need to be replaced and did the work for lesson than a quarter of the price I was quoted at the other mechanic. Work was finished in a day and the truck has been running perfectly since then. Had I spent to 4800 at the place it wouldn't have even resolved the issue, which means I would've had to come out of the pocket even more after the initial work was done. Obviously a truck of this age is gonna have some problems and when they inevitably happen again I will be back here at Speedway to take care of them. Highly recommend this place for integrity, quality, efficiency and fair pricing.

The next day, they called me saying they fixed the radiator, but there was an internal leaking issue that the mechanic couldn't figure out and that I should immediately go trade in the car before the engine fails. He gave me zero plausible or any technical explanation for what the origin of the issue was and added another 100 dollars to my service fee. I decided to take my car to a mechanic who is more accustomed to dealing with Subarus with the incredibly vague explanation I received from the mechanic rather than go sell or trade in the car because one person told me he can't fix it. The next day, I received an actual explanation of what the issue was, which was a cross contamination issue with the coolant and engine oil that can happen with the specific engine that Subarus are equipped with and he was able to give me an actual quote to fix the issue rather than telling me to trade in or sell the car. Furthermore, he said that changing the radiator should have only cost me a couple hundred dollars max and that the issue with the engine could have been prevented if I went to an experienced mechanic in the first place! I was overcharged by more than double the actual price of parts and service and literally told to go trade in the car after paying $880 dollars, which I had to haggle down from $900 after the price increased overnight. Please don't come here for any repairs as they are not qualified to provide proper service, yet will overcharge you without any agreement. The mechanic also demanded cash only or he would charge me even more with a credit card, which was extremely inconsiderate of the customer's financial situation in a tough economy. 차를 수리하러 왔다가 비싸봐야 3-400불 (다른곳에 350이면 충분하다고 하였습니다) 하는 서비스에 900 불 뜯어내면서 차를 고치지 못했고 무슨 이슈인지 전혀 모르겠으니까 임시적으로 굴러다닐때 빨리 다른 차로 바꾸라는 황당한 답변 받았습니다. 무책임 한 일처리가 더 화가 나는지 무능력한 수리이후 나몰라하는 태도가 더 화가 나는지 모르겠는데 엄청나게 큰 금액을 지불하고 또 다시 큰 금액내면서 다시 수리를 맞겨야하는 다른 피해자 생길까봐 리뷰를 남깁니다. 이것만 해도 너무 화가나는데 카드는 안된다고 현금 결재를 요구하였습니다. 다른 피해자 생기지 않도록 제 경험을 올리니 제발 다른곳을 알아보세요.

My engine light suddenly came on a few days ago and then the engine started to make a funny noise…read more Due to a combination of a crazy schedule and having been frustrated with my most recent experiences with local dealerships, I decided to try out Mobile Mechanic. It's one of the best decisions I have made this year. Will was able to come out with a day or so and run a diagnostics check, quickly locating the issue and showing me the results. He explained to me what the issue was, discussed options, gave me a full quote and a price - highly competitive. With me agreeing to what needed to be done, he ordered the part (Saturday) and came back the next day (Sunday) to install it. Incredibly helpful and so polite, he showed me the new part, walked me through what he was going to do and afterward even showed me the part he removed and explained the wear and why it was actually perfect timing. Within hours I was up and running again, good as new. I have NEVER had service like this from a dealership in all my years of being a car owner and driver (and that's several decades). Will also flagged other things that I needed to be aware of (including needing an oil change - which I will be getting him to come and do) but at no point pushed for me to do them there and then - zero pressure, just guidance. He repeatedly asked if I had any questions and was keen for me to understand what was happening and why - superb! He even cleared up the work area after he'd finished. Flawless. Aside from the convenience and Will just being an incredibly nice guy, his attention to detail and service are second to none. Friendly and knowledgable, he works hard to make sure you understand what he's doing, and is professional and polite at every step along the way. Will clearly cares and takes great pride in what he does. He's the only person I will be going to for my automotive service needs from now on. Highly recommended.

They did an awesome job, and when I got my car back, it looked as if nothing had ever happened. Fast forward 3 months later, and someone cut the catalytic converter off my car. Between that and everything from the previous accident, it became a really stressful financial burden, especially since I still hadn't even gotten my deductible back from the first accident. Both times, the crew at Western was so friendly, helpful, and patient with me. I had never experienced either of these situations before, especially with a brand-new car that I was financing, so I honestly had no idea what I was doing half the time. Chris was especially patient and explained all the terms and procedures very clearly so I could actually understand what was going on. They were also able to get my car fixed relatively quickly, so I wasn't without my car for too long. Because of work and traveling, I wasn't able to pick it up until a couple of days after they finished, and they were super accommodating and communicative about letting me leave my car there until I could get back. Having to deal with both situations within 3 months was honestly really stressful, so I'm really grateful that I had such a kind and helpful team helping me through it. Thank you to Chris and the entire Western crew for making a very stressful situation as smooth as possible. I really appreciate you guys!!
