Super honest / referred some repairs to dealer because they were covered in warranty, did the rest including brakes etc thoroughly and a job well done read more

The owner told me I needed a new alternator. I just had it replaced 3 months ago. I took my car back to the automotive shop where I had it replaced and they verified I just needed a new battery. The owner was trying to take advantage of me. read more

Bought my car in for them to change my spark plugs. They broke my windshield while working on the car and gaslighted me insisting the windshield was broke when I brought it in. Totally dishonest management. Don't go here. read more

I'm writing this review because Emick's took down my review from Oct 2021. You will notice there are no recent reviews on yelp. Avoid this place. They are dishonest. That's the bottom line. I could go in to the details of what they did but I won't, it would take too much time and they are not worth it. read more

Avoid this place. Brought my husbands Chevelle here and it was a nightmare from the beginning. Husband drove car in to the shop(running). We knew it needed a lot of work done on it however we live about 1 hour away so driving back and fourth there is a real hassle. A very rude woman named Jess who does not belong in customer service at all(understatement) calls to tell my husband he needs to immediately come down to the shop for them to show him something. Saying"the car is not safe to drive". We get there and the alternator was broken into the motor. Saying we brought it in like that. Not possible since my husband drove it in working-now car can't even drive. My guess is they were wrenching on it-it's a old car things can break but be honest about it. Got into a argument about it and then decided we were trapped and had no choice but to have these liars fix it and fix more things. Shame on us! Now after leaving the shop(mind you 3 weeks later). Car drives worse then prior to bringing it there. We spent $4,000 and are extremely upset. Not sure how this guy-shop has good reviews. They took full advantage of us and lied!!!! Please do yourself a favor and avoid this place. This place caused me days of loss of sleep-I was and still am sick over this. I don't like writing bad reviews because people work hard for there business but when you LIE and blame people or have constant excuses YOU deserve for the public blast. read more

Great local family-owned business. I have been coming here for years and won't go anywhere else.

Best knowledgeable and honest! Highly recommend! I've been through it with other mechanics...Dave Emick is the best! I've been going there over 30 years and i totally trust him! read more

I would not go to this place again. All I needed was an oil change and he did some extra work on my car without calling me. The total increase was only $17 but I think it's important to call the customer and tell them when you're doing extra work on their vehicle and not surprise them with it. When I brought it up to him, he said I didn't have a choice and he never calls customers to tell them if their car needs extra work like that. I know it's a small amount, but times are tough and a lot of peoples budgets are small. I have friends that could've done the extra work as well. I had a nail in my tire and I am grateful he took it out, but I wish he would've called me first. read more

Always reliable and fairly priced professional service. I used to shop price and found Emick's Auto Service to always offer competitive prices and often the lowest prices. In depth knowledge of the cars I have had Dave and his staff take care of...Emick's gets my highest recommendation. read more

I've taken my 3 Honda's to Dave over the past 25 years. I had 1 oil change elsewhere, and they stripped the threads, on my oil pan. Dave was able to change the oil, thereafter, in a way that prevented leakage. Will never take my car anywhere else. read more

Dave is perfect and sweet and so cool. I'm so glad my car broke nearby or else I would've been stranded much longer than I was. My hero.

Nothing but good things to say about Emick's. I had a timing belt, water pump, tensioners, serpentine belt, spark plugs and a motor mount replaced and they did excellent work. That's one of the harder automotive efforts to do and the work came out perfectly. The best part is that his estimate was the most reasonable and they allowed me to bring my own parts- a key factor in helping me decide. Added bonus- you can text their land line and get an update on your car without having to call. Makes things very, very easy (especially when you are in a meeting). read more

My car's AC was acting up and I took it to Emick's Auto Service for repair. They were able to see us quickly, diagnose the issue, and fix it within the same day. Dave was very kind and direct with what the issues were. He has tons of experience and I felt confident with him on the job. Our AC is fixed and blowing consistent, COLD, air. Thanks Dave!! I highly recommend Emick's for your go-to mechanic. They are transparent, efficient, and affordable. Do yourself a favor and take your car here, you will not be disappointed. read more

After 3 visits to Emick's I'm left entirely unimpressed. I've had two bad experiences and one ok experience. I've averaged that out to 2 stars. 1st visit was for my wife's new Subaru... it's first oil change. The bill was just under $100 when the stealership charges $60. I learned from that mistake. Wife's Subaru hasn't been back. 2nd visit was about a month ago when I brought in my "new" Ford Ranger for an inspection plus a host of preventive maintenance. I was mostly happy with this service but had a bad taste in my mouth because of a $50 diagnostic fee for something I had already diagnosed myself - a flashing SRS (airbag) light. I felt pressured into their diagnosis because I'm new to DIY auto repair, but I learned my lesson - have confidence and don't succumb to sales pressure. I was also disappointed with the fee (30 minutes of labor) since I had properly diagnosed the problem in 3 minutes using Google. 3rd visit was about two weeks ago. After having my vehicle looked over, Andrew called me to say my SRS light was flashing and they could look into that for me no problem. Really disappointing. They couldn't have been more eager to charge me another $50 to re-diagnose a flashing airbag light. They got my $50 for the 1st "diagnosis", but they won't be seeing me again. read more

Dave was fantastic, he helped me identify what was wrong and got my repairs done in a timely manner. He doesn't over charge or look for things to be wrong. I will be taking my car to Emick's from now on. read more

Been going to Emick's Auto for over a decade. My last visit underscores why: I had taken my old Toyota to the dealer to get a new key . While there, they gave me a rundown of work the car needed. I brought that rundown and its estimates to Emick's, telling Dave if he could be in the same ballpark as the estimates, I'd rather give him the job. Well Dave and his crew checked everything in the dealer's rundown, explained why some of the work would not be necessary (either at all or for a while) and gave me estimates for the rest that were less than what the dealer had projected. Emick's did the work quickly. I saved time, money, and the car runs great. This is a great shop: fair, skilled, communicative. I've recommended it to my two sons, and they agree. read more

We were contemplating buying a used SUV and needed a quick inspection and Dave at Emick's was able to get the car in and up on the lift the following day. The price was reasonable and boy, was he thorough. Dave inspected every nook and cranny of the car and even got it up to speed (where he diagnosed a problem). Without Dave's thorough work we would have probably been stuck with a lemon. Thanks, Emick's! read more

Just needed to shout out to my new favorite Auto Service Company. Close to home. Reasonable prices. Quality communication. Done right the first time! Thanks Jess and Team. read more

Update: I've been taking my car for almost five years now, and guess what? They've yet to lie, mislead, sell me services I don't need, you know, all the issues many of us have to deal with at other mechanics services. Emick's is always honest, and I really do mean always. I've brought my car in thinking I needed new breaks, shocks, etc., and they have never tried to sell me something I don't need. And I have a 2001 SVU, so I do assume I need things fixed because of the age of the car. But Emick's has always told me when they think a part really needs to be replaced, rather than when it could be replaced so they could make more money. I would recommend Emick's to everyone I know, but then again I don't want to have to wait two weeks to get my car in! So I guess I shouldn't have written this update. read more

Exceptional service and going above and beyond COVID protocol! Everything was santized and done to the most professional level. So happy to be able to get my car serviced and leave knowing the techs did everything they could for my safety! Thanks!! read more

This is the best place to take your car in Denver. They tell you up front what they find and whether or not you actually need to spend the money. Top class people with top class service. Highly recommended read more

I would give Emick's Auto 0 stars if I could. I visited Emick's Auto because I had a broken lug nut on my car. I spoke to the lady at the front desk, the shop manager, and I requested that she or one of the technicians take a look at my car before we scheduled anything since I had visited about 4 other shops prior to going to Emick's and no one was able to help me out. I wanted to know if they would be able to help me take the broken lug nut off. She nor any of her technicians took a look at the car, per my request, because according to her they would be able to take it off. We scheduled an appointment and when I arrived to my appointment she forgot I was coming in that day at that time, however, she still took me in and asked for my keys. I then told her to let me know before they do anything how much I was going to be charged or if I was going to be charged. She told me that she would give me a call to let me know before anything was going to be done/charged. Half an hour passed and she called me to let me know that they cannot take off the lug nut and the only way they would be able to is if they drilled it out. She gave me a quote of around "$800 to $1000 or more". I told her to not do anything to it and that I was going to go pick up my car. I got to the shop where she then charged me $21. I had no clue why I was being charged, as she did not, I repeat: DID NOT tell me about this charge. I asked prior to scheduling and prior to dropping off my car if there was going to be any charge and all she would say is that she would call me back to let me know before they did anything. There should be no charge if they did not do anything to the car. Previous shops would not charge me at all to take a look at the car. I ended up paying her the $21 for her to do nothing with the car. I got inside my car and my dashboard features were changed. It seemed like they were looking around my dashboard features. I always have the turbo display on my dashboard, but when I got inside my car it had a different page displayed. I left Emick's Auto very disappointed and went to my local dealer. They were able to take off the lug nut by drilling it out with a total cost of under $400 and zero wheel damage. Emick's Auto wanted over $800 for the same job or their other solution was to break the wheel. Do not come here unless you want to pay double the price for unprofessionalism and untrustworthy people. read more

(Owner/operator) Dave Emick has been my family's mechanic for 20+ years. He is absolutely amazing, trustworthy, and (I just learned) organized and generous. We have taken all kind of strange problems to him, had him look over used cars we'd like to buy and done regular repairs here. I just recently called him with a question about my car (now in California) and he was happy to look up the previous work. He gave me a detailed breakdown of what we had done and the cost of parts and labor. He even gave me the part number of a warrantied part so that I could get it replaced. I highly recommend Emick's for any auto-related needs. read more

Until we got a new car, we always used this guy. Loved the upfront on the quotes and stuff. I never felt like I got gouged there.

These guys have earned my business. The shop is clean and organized, Andrew in the front office is very friendly, courteous and helpful. David is the one that worked on my jeep and he looked at everything around where he was working and found a couple small issues that were quick to remedy and really added no cost to the repair. I am very impressed all the way around and will not hesitate to take my vehicles there and also to recommend them to friends and family. read more

My 4Runner broke down yesterday and I'm already driving it today, fully repaired. Solid customer service, great communication too- once they received the vehicle they scheduled me in for the next opening. I was told precisely what was wrong and the solutions were all affordable. There were many parts replaced within a reasonable time frame. Thanks guys! You've been my go to for 2 years! read more

I've brought my trade van here 3 times. Each time they've been very up front about what they can accomplish, and what it will cost. The work they've done has been high quality, and twice they've charged less than the original estimate (rare, in my experience)! I'm very happy, and will continue to return. read more

Affordable and honest auto repair. Is there anything else needed in auto repair?

Hand's down THE BEST mechanic in Denver. Dave is extremely knowledgeable about all things car related. He always takes great care of our cars, and quickly fixes whatever ails them. His prices are fair, and you'll be treated with the utmost respect. I simply will not take my cars anywhere else. read more

I've only been here once, but I have zero complaints about my experience with Emick's. I was having a car issue for about two months that no one seemed to know how to fix. I was told that I'd have to wait a week for my car to be looked at, but I figured it was worth it because of all the good reviews. I left my car here for one day, and when I picked it up, it was all good. The following day, I left for a 2,000 mile road trip (going all around the Rocky Mountains), and the car ran great! Thank you for the excellent service; I'll definitely be recommending and coming here for any car trouble in the future. read more

Nothing but great experiences at Emick's. I've had a number of cars repaired there and the estimates are accurate, the work is done quickly and correctly, and they don't try to get me to do repairs I don't need. Highly recommend. read more

This was by far the best and easiest experience I have ever had with a car repair shop. The man I worked with was honest, helpful and good at his job. Thank you!! This was my first time going to Emicks and from here forward, we'll be loyal customers! read more

I'm not sure I could say enough good thing about Emick's. From the timely reply, to them working around my crazy work schedule, and the professionalism and knowledge of Dave - this place is going to be my new mechanic. As a woman, I usually get nervous about taking my car in somewhere and them taking advantage of me - and Emick's was the exact opposite. Dave took my car for a drive and told me everything that would need to be done, by order of importance, and gave me price quotes. read more

My Mazda 626 overheated on the freeway, I found Emick's in Yelp and based on their 5 star rating, decided to give them a try. They replaced the serpentine belt for a very reasonable price in less than a day. But what most impresses me is they could have claimed it needed a water pump and charged me 3 times as much! I will be taking my car there for as long as I can. read more

The owner was extremely rude twice! I took my husband's car there. He charged me 100 to tell me that the car needed basically everything done and would be best to get rid of it because it would only last a few months. I took it somewhere else, spent 300 in repairs and 18 months later the car is still running great. read more

This place is terrible. I sent my wife in to get a quote and they charged her $70 and didn't even provide her a quote. When I went in to ask why they treated my wife that way they said they wanted to charge her more , $250-300 just for the quote. I went over to BrakesPlus and got a free quote and the work done on 3 hours for $430. $70 I will never get back. read more

Great service. My older nissan altima needed a quick repair and we got in right away for a quick inspection. Our car was fixed in the most economical way and within hours. Super helpful and explained everything that was done. read more

If you are looking for an honest and dependable repair shop, this is it! I have brought 2 cars there to be looked over and serviced, I was in and out in record time with all issues FIXED! Both times they layed it on the line with me about the repairs and fixed it right the first time. Thanks Dave! read more

My husband and I have been customers of Emick's for several years, with usually great service. Until this last visit. Back in November of 2016, I had left my vehicle in their care for a repair. About one month later I received a past due parking ticket for $100 in the mail, to my surprise, because I knew nothing of an original ticket. So I called Emick's, and spoke with the lady in their office, she tells me they usually take care of any tickets that are issued on their property while in their care and that they hadn't seen an original ticket either. She said she was going to leave word with the owner to call me back to get it straightened out. No call. I call the next day, she sounded surprised that the owner hadn't called me back, and said she would leave another message for him to call me. Nothing. A couple of days go by, I GO IN to Emick's to talk with them, the lady in the office still is surprised he hasn't contacted me, she goes to get him, she can't find him, and his personal vehicle is gone... ok. She tells me she will let him know I was there and that I should contest the ticket. Fine. The holidays pass, I've disputed the ticket, only to have the late fee taken off so only the original $50 fine is due. I call again, goes to voicemail, leave message stating the above, guess what, no call. 2 days later I call one last time, voicemail, and let them know what loyal customers we have been, even referring them to friends, etc. and how disheartening it is to not be even given a phone call back to even discuss the ticket. Not a civil conversation was initiated by them. Needless to say, Emick's has lost our business and referrals. Something so small could have been settled so easily. Sad. read more

I moved to Denver in 1995 with an old Honda civic. My car would suddenly die in the middle of driving it down the road. I took it to numerous mechanics but no one could fix it. Dave fixed it and kept it running for several years. I feel I can trust him and believe he is the best there is. read more
