Great experience and would definitely recommend. I had these guys install a new exhaust system on my truck and was very satisfied with the process. read more

I brought my Bronco Sport in to have a steel skid plate installed. I was extremely impressed with the quality and service I received. Upfront estimate of what the installation cost would be, and when there was a hiccup due to a design flaw--the shop reached out to both the manufacturer and me. As promised the plate was installed by end of day, and the quality of work was impeccable. I will bring my Bronco back to them for more upgrades and for regular maintenance. read more

Great customer service. Installed a hitch on my Subaru Outback. Would absolutely recommend this place. From start to finish the service was great. read more

Reached out to John's 4x4 while researching some upgrades for my RAV4. Kevin was friendly, professional, and quick to respond to all my questions. I had a great experience working with him and really appreciated the attention to detail and communication throughout the process. read more

I have taken my Tacoma to John's for most of my engine, steering and suspension work - in addition to cosmetic upgrades. I feel confident that the work being done is in expert hands. I can drive away with peace of mind. read more

I was charged $463 for a Starter on a 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee!!! I had them do the job only bc they carried a 3 year 36k warranty. Total with labor cost me $1179. I felt the part was way over priced!! read more

WAY, WAY, WAY OVERPRICED! They quoted $2615 to install airbags. What a joke... They also refused to install a hitch because there overpriced suppliers did not stock them and they will not let you purchase the part and have it delivered the shop. They recommended Trailer Source Longmont for the hitch so I called and they install the hitch and airbags. Trailer source quoted $1500 for parts and labor for the airbags. Over a $1000 less for the exact same work.... JOHNS 4X4 IS AN ABSOLUTE RIP OFF! BUYER BEWARE read more

I've taken my truck here for a couple of different projects. I've been very happy with their expertise and the quality of their work. I'll be coming back again when I need to increase my payload capacity. read more

Did a great job for me and got me scheduled quickly and serviced done timely. Great job done!

This place rocks, they got my 99 4Runner running great! They installed trd headers and exhaust for me and corrected some less than satisfactory work I had done by another shop. I will definitely be back for all of my 4x4 service needs. Thanks Kevin! read more

John's 4x4 & REV Outfitters - Auto Repair Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

These guys have been great to me and my '13 JKU. I find their prices reasonable and well quoted (no surprises). I have had them investigate warnings, replace parts and even recommend that I take my business somewhere else because their expertise lay somewhere other than cracking open my engine to get to the oil pump. Very knowledgeable, friendly, and respectful of my time and money. read more

I would avoid this place - Came in for an alignment on my 2010 Wrangler, told them my future plans to go hydraulic steering, have most of the parts in my garage, just wanted to get my caster/toe fixed before. They were fine with that when I scheduled it. Got it in the shop and they said I needed a new steering stabilizer (you don't even need to run one if your Jeep is set up properly), fix my shock mounts (move one rubber bushing to the top of the mount, which they wanted $111 for and would take all of 5 minutes, and I mounted them this way to gain downtravel), and a new steering box before they could give me an alignment. I told them none of this has an effect on an alignment (it absolutely doesn't, which I knew and confirmed with a few other 4x4 shops around here), they said they wouldn't do the alignment until that was done...Kevin was super snarky and not helpful at all. They also quoted me $985 for a new Mopar steering box...why would you not suggest a PSC big bore or an upgraded box, when it costs the same amount? Bottom line - They only charged me $75 but wasted 2 weeks for the appt and then a few hours of my time driving my Jeep home. I came to this shop because of the good reviews. I would not recommend and would absolutely not trust this shop with what they say you need done. read more

These guys are in the best in area. They've got it all. Selection service most importantly honest and fair. Been off-roading 45 years and this is it. Matt W. Bouider read more

Took my Jeep in to have them check alignment and to fix the emergency brake. I talked with Ken and told him the e brake cables have been adjusted all the way. They diagnosed the Jeep and sent a estimate to fix the E brake handle and said this is the issue and will fix the problem. The quoted me 370.62. The next day they sent another quote for $370 and said it wasn't the handle and I need cables to fix this. I talked with the owner and he admitted this was there fault and messed up. He then tells me he will do it for the parts cost and no labor. If someone has the vehicle for diagnostic and quotes you a price that should be the price. Not come back after you approve the deal and then come back for more money. This is how you get your customers to not trust you. I offered to pay them for the original quote to fix the problem they messed up. But they won't do that they will only do it if I pay for the parts. This is bad business. The principle is a price was quoted for work and approved for that work. The part did not fix the problem and now want to charge the customer for their mistakes.

John's 4x4 Boulder CO Don't waste your time or money; not even worth wasting you breath making a call. They do not care for their customers or for quality. I travel a lot for work. I had a CB and lift kit installed at John's 4x4 on my 2013 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited. I specifically asked tater tech, Lance, to center my steering wheel. He told me he did. My steering was so off it was nearly 90 degrees to the right. Hitting bumps on the freeway made the stability control think I was sliding. This, "Tech" is the last person you want touching your vehicle. I ended up stopping at a rest stop to center my steering myself. Lance also did not re install the weather separator that goes in the tail gate of the Wrangler. When I brought this up to Jeffrey he told me it makes no sense for him to send it to me since I was now working in MT and that a Jeep dealer was in MT. When Lance initially installed my lift he installed the sway bar links on the wrong side of the brackets. I had to ask to have them correctly installed. Lance also did not re install the hand brake bracket so every time mg rear axle moved it squeaked because the line was be tugged from lack of a bracket. Lance also incorrectly installed my front brake line brackets. I even asked if it was correct when they botched my Jeep. They swore up and down it was. Lance also destroyed my center console installed my CB. He put a hole in re bottom late enough to fit a tennis ball and he did a sloppy job. My pistol magazines fall through the hole so now I will need to purchase a new console. Further more he stripped on of the U bolt bracket screws so the CB fell off the bracket. I was not given my CB mix bracket either. The work, or lack there of, was done September 12th, 2013. It is now October 5th, 2013 and nothing has been corrected. I was also told that Lance had a hard night of drinking which is why his work suffered. If he can't control how much he drinks he shouldn't be touching other peoples vehicles. I ended up taking my Wrangler to AEV in Missoula, MT where Dave got my rig straightened out. Jeffrey has said over and over he will make this right and now he is ignoring my contact. If you want excellent customer service go to AEV. If you want to have your vehicle destroyed and ignored when you ask them to correct the damage they did go to John's 4x4. Save your time, money, and energy. Avoid John's 4x4. read more

I had been working on dressing up my 2005 4Runner Sport for about a month at Johns 4x4, preparing for my Spring and Summer adventures. From the moment I called to have some questions answered with the new owner, Ross, I felt valued and that he and his guys wanted my business. They were the one stop shop I was looking for in town to upgrade my suspension with a Toytec Boss lift kit, TRD wheels, and new set of Goodyear Duratrac tires. A special thanks to Ross, Kevin, and Craig who worked together flawlessly with their professionalism, skills, and follow up to ensure I was satisfied. I highly recommend Johns 4x4 and entrusting them working on your vehicle for you. I plan on doing future business here again without a doubt. -Mike read more

Good service and good attitudes. You get what you pay for here and their service is efficient and transparent. I took a 1999 Ranger over there and they got it road worthy. Also good work on a 2008 1 ton GMC by adding a heavy duty bumper and winch. read more

Just bought my first Jeep and entering a very cool but expensive world. These guys are great for all levels of experience. They are everything you want out of an auto shop. Knowledgable, friendly, patient, honest... no other word but AWESOME!!! As I'm new, everyone I trusted pointed me to John's. The one knock I've heard, is they are a bit pricey. Their hourly rate was exactly what I paid at a few other shops. The big difference, they found the issue. If you are familiar with the Off-Road, 4x4, Overland community, you should already know about John's. If you are thinking or new, you should just put the phone down, and go talk to them. While I was getting things check out, Kevin let me talk his ear off about where I want to go with my build, future plans, and ideas I should consider. I've taken it into 2 other places, but that was a waste of money. Start here, they are the defacto standard. And truly, they are honest. Nobody is perfect, but they know what they know, and they won't BS about what they don't. You won't get steered wrong with John's. If just a bit interested in backcountry driving, you should go talk to these guys. read more

Not really happy with my experience today. Dropped off to have my second battery looked at as I believed it to be a bad ground. The tech Tim said hes unable to work on my car since the diagram he looked up suggested a relay and isolator. It would help if Tim looked up the correct redarc and found that my model doesn't need them. Never going back to these people out of touch with overlanding technology. read more

Management here keeps changing and it's gotten worse each time. These guys are exactly the type of shop that will tell everyone who comes in, they need to replace their transmission, not because anything is wrong with the transmission, that's just the sort of part they're getting incentive to sell this week. To add insult to injury, any work they do is so shoddy, IT WILL HAVE TO BE REDONE BY SOMEONE ELSE! I can't stop you from going here, but I WILL NEVER COME HERE AGAIN! read more

Very happy with my first service at John's 4x4 in Boulder. I've been looking for a place that specializes in Jeeps and John's does this. I recently bought my Jeep TJ and wanted to get all the fluids changed out. They gave me a good price. They also went with all the factory recommendations on the fluids, which I know some chains do not. When I arrived, I also had a couple other requests for them, which they performed at no charge. Although only my first visit, but based on my experience and all the recent comments, I will definitely be taking my TJ back here. read more

Highly recommend John's 4x4 in Boulder. I've been going for years with my redneck Dodge Ram 2005. Starting to have issues as it ages e.g. locks, windows, lights, tie rods, random clunks, 4wd won't engage, oil in funny places. Every time I go, Kevin is friendly, thorough, and communicates well. Every time Dean and crew do a great job finding what is wrong, and fixing just what is broken. Legit shop. read more

This review is based on many years of being taken great care of by a Jeep specialty shop in Austin, TX that celebrates jeepers. I brought my jeep in for an oil change, was told it would be 30-45 min if I waited, but it was 2 hours (missing work). I also advised my check engine light was on and to please look at it and otherwise let me know/inspect for winter conditions. After those 2 hours, they did none of that and told me I'd have to come back for a separate $120 (probably multi-hour again) appt just to take a look, even after all that wait. If you want to buy a lot of shiny things for your 4x4, this may be the place to do it, but not for reliable service or customer care. read more

This is a shout out to Kevin! What a pleasure to work with him over the phone, and have him order a cover for our new truck!! I contacted him to see if they had any pickup covers in stock, and of course, there was nothing in stock for our specific model. Kevin went over and above to make calls, find one, and have it shipped for next day pickup at the store. He was very customer oriented, and a true pleasure to work with. We are constructing a house in Boulder, and will be storing our beloved truck outside between trips to check on the construction. We needed the cover right away. The cover fit perfectly, and we are a delighted customer! read more

Over promised, overcharged and under delivered. I will never use them again.

Great guys. VERY helpful choosing products. Paid attention to what I was looking for and helped me get it. The FJ looks / functions perfectly. I'll be back for sure. read more

I took my F250 into Johns 4x4 for an oil change. Since my truck is a large engine diesel, oil changes are always expensive. Usually when I get my oil changed my mpg jumps a little bit. It is a heavy truck, so maybe from 15mpg to 17mpg (at the most), but it does jump up a bit. This time it did not. I was curious, so I poked around a bit underhood and saw MY old oil filter still in place!!!! I know it was mine because when I do my own changes I mark the date and mileage on the filter with a Sharpie, I don't have the windshield stickers to let me know so that is my way. Charging for a service you didn't do? Good job guys. You could have cost me $7,000 for a new engine so you could make a little more than $50! I wouldn't go to this place again if they PAID me! read more

I recently had an aftermarket leveling kit installed that I purchased elsewhere. They were kind, courteous and did a quick job getting this installed. They even had free wifi while I waited. read more

Im new to Boulder and was looking for trustworthy alternative to the dealer for my 02 tacoma trd. Dropped it off for checkup/oil change and mentioned a couple issues -specifically, rattle in front suspension and excessive belt noise. Oil change went as expected. Belt noise - nothing noted or documented in my paperwork. I asked about it again when I picked up truck but no mechanic spoke with me and they had no feedback (they didnt disagree with me that there was noise, but since they didnt document when I dropped off, they hadnt looked at this). Rattle noise - there is a definite noise in the front suspension which is getting louder. They charged me $33 dollars to diagnose and came up with nothing. Either dont charge me and dont find anything or charge me and tell me whats wrong! They didnt document the symptoms as I described, so Im not surprised they didnt find anything. Im extremely busy and it wasnt easy to get truck to them - other than oil, this service trip was pointless and Im out $33 bucks. They did offer to go ride with me but I would have had to come back and they didnt call to ask for more details - just charged me and said nothing was wrong. Nice guys and a clean shop but they didnt listen to me as a customer. I wont be going back...I have the impression that they are more of a 4x4/lift/aftermarket shop. Other than oil change, it was a waste of my time to leave it there. read more

I used John's 4x4 to provide my SmartStart breathalyzer, as required after a DUI conviction. Their lack of providing me with the correct information resulted in a 1 month delay in receiving the DMV approval to remove the device. After my 120 days of "calibration", (data upload to SmartStart), John's 4x4 never informed me that I would have to request SmartStart to submit my data to the DMV. It took countless phone calls and over 2 weeks to figure out where the break in the process was. The manager of John's 4x4 showed no concern when I informed them of the problem. I will be going to a different shop to have the device removed, and will never consider using John's 4x4 again. read more

Took my 1996 Fulls Size Bronco here about a month back as it was clunking when in 4WD, and the bumper was rusting apart. Turns out the frontU joints had to be replaced and some components had worn big time as a result. They also were able to find me a more cost effective solution to the bumper problem. Was it "cheap"? Nope, but expertise rarely is. Did they stay in contact with me, answer all my questions, fix the problem, the cause of the problem, work with me to find solutions and do it all in a timely matter? I'll be back. read more

I recently took my Toyota Tundra in to get some major work done. I can say that they are trustworthy, because they diagnosed the same problems that had been independently found at two other auto shops. Kevin was very professional and courteous right from the start, and made me feel at ease by providing clear answers to all of my questions. They did a great job, and completed the work on schedule. My truck is running like a dream! read more

Kevin is awesome,the mechanics are straightforward and I felt like I was taken care of. I highly recommend Johns 4x4 for anyone.

They just finished all the customizations on my truck and I am blown away with the level of service and quality I received. I had so many things done including engine work, cold air intake installation, after market bumpers, on board air compressor, after market wheels, off road lights, winch installation, and much more. With all these different facets, I thought there might be at last one aspect where their mechanics wouldn't excel. That wasn't the case at all. Everything was done perfectly. I can't say enough great things about this place. Top notch! read more

After playing around with a few options, I decided to go with a 5" lift and took my 2014 ram mega cab into John's 4x4. I couldn't be happier with the how it came out. It rides 100x better than it did stock. Their work is clean and flawless, leaving no stone unturned to make sure your ride is exactly the way you want it. Kevin was awesome to deal with and probably had the best customer service I have ever seen. Will be coming back to this place consistently. read more

John's 4x4 & REV Outfitters - 2014 Ram Mega Cab 5" Radius Arm and Coil Spring System Lift. - Auto Repair Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

Had some tools taken from my rig while in their care. They so have new management and hopefully things will get better for them. As for me I think I'll take my business elsewhere. read more

For the money that I spent on upgrading my Jeep they did not deliver as they should have. It took them about 5 months to deliver a product to me and it is still not complete. And this was both before and after their change of management issues. Constantly promising thing that they could not deliver, I simply do not trust their word. Though the work they did manage to complete has been good thus far, but for the money I paid I would have expected some quality service as well as parts. I will never be using any of their shops ever again and would not recumbent them to anyone. read more

They are the only place in boulder that actually knows how to fix a car. They are super helpful and will let you know everything about your car. Everyone is really nice and straight forward. The store is really nice. It's kind of hard to find though. read more

Johns 4x4 is one of the worst repair shops that I have ever been to. I took my vehicle in for an oil change. When I picked it up, grease stains were on the front seat, the headliner and the steering wheel. Their response was that those were there before, and not their responsibility. I had to spend an hour cleaning my car on Saturday. Avoid. read more

John's 4x4 is the only place that I will take my car! Even while we were living in Stanford, CA this past year, I didn't trust our car to anyone else. When we made a trip back to Colorado over the summer John's 4x4 took care of us! It's good to be back now and even though we live in Arvada, my wife and I will always make the trip into Boulder just to ensure that our car is in the right hands. As well as putting new tires on our car, John's 4x4 does all of the regular maintenance: oil change, tire rotations, alignments, etc. We are always satisfied with very good customer service and very affordable pricing! Thanks, John for making this family owned business the ONLY place for my family. read more
