Smitty's Garage in Clifton, Co. Best service I've had in…read moreages. June 25, 2010 - I was headed cross country from WA to CO - PPIHC. Traveling in an '87 Grand Wagoneer pullin' a 15' Aladdin trailer when I died at the Utah/Colorado border, looking at the "Welcome to Colorado" sign. I called AAA and, after some negotiation on jurisdiction, got towed into Grand Junction, Co (30+miles). The driver, whom I never met, suggested Smitty's as the place to go for an 'honest repair job'. I'm broke down - not sure what's wrong - no clue what a place named "Smitty's" is going to say or do. It's hot - gotta' go for it. The head mechanic took me in, let me park my trailer in the yard, ran an extension cord so I'd have power, let me use the facilities (shower, etc.). We (they let me be involved in all aspects of the work) worked on the Jeep (on-n-off for two(2) days) in between other jobs that came in - more poor broke-down folks from the hwy. They were knowledgeable mechanics - good troubleshooters. Not sure how many actual hours we worked on the Jeep - fuel delivery problem - but the bill didn't reflect it at all - very, very reasonable considering what we went through. I took off and finished my trip - 8500 miles. Next time I'm through Grand Junction I'll stop by to say Hi, and thanks for everything.

Highly recommend Here or There Automotive and the owner James…read more Excellent communication, excellent work and follow up at a reasonable price. We were traveling from 3 hours away on some noisy wheel bearings for our 2009 Prius. The owner James went out of his way to be available in our restrictive timeframe. Communication was excellent: He called us when the parts were delayed by UPS, rescheduled for the next morning. I hung around and watched and appreciated the attention to detail and the quality of the work. When I was in the waiting room a couple of other customers came in and highly praised James. I wished we lived closer....James would be my full time mechanic! Highly recommended.

James is the best mechanic out there! He's worked on a couple of my vehicles now, Highly recommend!read more

This is the most dysfunctional business I have ever encountered!…read more Chris is the owner. I Called at 3:10. Shanna the office help said the part would be at the shop in 30 minutes and the truck would be done by 5. I Drove from Montrose to GJ arriving 15 minutes before they closed and the door was locked, lights were off. I heard the side gate closing so I went to the side and met one of the guys. He said shanna left and wasn't sure where the truck was but said the part didn't come in. He called Shawna and I could hear her telling him to tell me truck wasn't ready. My wife and I took off work early and drove 3 hrs round trip to have the truck not ready after Shawna said it would. Pissed off would be an understatement. One of the workers said it was his last week there. When I picked the truck up Shawna made no mention of her gross error, I really want to use some other select words to describe how I really feel... when I brought it up she shook it off as no big deal until I started reading her all the events that took place that day. She ended up giving me $300 off of a $2,300 bill. When I spoke to the mechanic who did the work I mentioned Chris said he would be there. The mechanic said he didn't know why he would say that since he was in court all day. I asked if his business was getting sued and answered yes. Driving home I was on the verge of over heating and my pyro reading was 12k. I ended up taking it to another shop in Montrose and after another 2k it was fixed and adjusted correctly. The only advice I can give is to shop around and do your homework before considering this shop. I will never use or recommend this sorry excuse for a shop.

He then told me I needed a completely new transmission. I went to Shrum's for a second opinion. The Mechanic there plugged in the computer and we took it for a ride. It turned out one of the spark plug leads had failed. That was it. I had Shrum's replaced the lead and spark plugs and that completely fixed it. I've taken my truck back to Shrum's for other issues and I've always been impressed by their service and their fairness in pricing.

Got it home, next day it wouldn't go backwards or forward. Had it towed at my expense (warranty doesn't cover towing). Again, the long wait. It worked okay for awhile, now it doesn't want to accelerate right away. DO NOT TRUST SHRUM'S.

The crew is very knowledgeable...it doesn't matter what problem we have with which vehicle, they know what to do. I appreciate that if they can't handle a particular issue (like allignment or tires) they will send me to a reputable business that I can trust. I have come back from a diagnosis and quote at other mechanics, only to have Mike explain why their opinion was wrong and how he can address it for much cheaper. My vehicles are safe and reliable because of their commitment. I can't say enough about how much I appreciate Coe's Automotive.
