Great experience at Saul's Autotek! Hopped right on our issues we drove up with at 4:30 on a…read moreWednesday, gave us excellent customer service, spoke with us every time there was a update, and they stayed late to make sure we got it done and back to our Colorado Springs home we were staying at on our vacation. Coming from North Carolina and needing to get back in a few days, Mike the service manager really helped and made sure we were taken care of. Even speaking on their work if we have any issues when we get back home to give him a call. Highly recommend!

DO NOT TAKE YOUR VEHICLE HERE -- SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN…read more I paid approximately $2,400 to have my vehicle repaired at this mechanic shop, including work on the right control arm and other mechanical issues. As soon as I left the shop, I noticed a clanking noise coming from my vehicle. I immediately contacted the shop about the noise because I was concerned that something was not right with the repair. The problems continued, so I eventually took my vehicle to a Subaru specialist/dealership for a second opinion. I was shocked to be told that the shop that had performed the control-arm repair had failed to properly connect/secure the ball joint. Learning this was extremely alarming. A ball joint is a critical component of the vehicle's suspension and steering system, and I was told that the way it had been left could have put me in a very dangerous situation and potentially put my life at risk. After finding this out, I contacted the mechanic shop again. I called approximately 3-6 times trying to speak with someone about what had happened and to address my concerns. Despite my repeated calls, the owner did not return my calls. When I finally reached the owner, instead of apologizing or acknowledging the seriousness of what had happened, he gave me excuses about why he had not had time to call me back. Not once did he apologize for the situation, acknowledge that the repair had potentially put my safety at risk, or offer any accommodation or assistance. What makes this even more frustrating is that the shop had also recommended additional work costing approximately $1,600 for spark-plug-related repairs. I am very glad I decided to get a second opinion before allowing them to continue working on my vehicle. I paid $2,400 expecting my vehicle to be repaired correctly and safely. Instead, I had a clanking noise immediately after leaving the shop, had to repeatedly contact them about my concerns, and then learned from a Subaru specialist that a critical component related to the repair had not been properly connected. My experience with this shop was extremely disappointing and frightening. I would never take my vehicle back there, and I strongly recommend that anyone considering using this shop get a second opinion and have their vehicle thoroughly inspected by another qualified mechanic. When it comes to something as serious as a suspension component that could affect the safety and control of your vehicle, your life is not worth taking the risk.

I love the service. I always feel like they care about my car, more than me sometimes! I called to…read moreget an estimate, and they were very forthright and honest about what was needed first and what could wait. They seemed to understand my situation and walked me thru the repair and the estimate.

I have to start by saying, over many years and at least a dozen vehicles, we've been pretty happy…read morewith the service and honesty of this place... till now. After my daughter taking her car in for an oil change, they called her to say she needed multiple thousands of dollars of work - ok. She ask them to wait far a few minutes till she Spoke with me. within 15mins we chatted and listed what they recommended. I calls them back and talks to Tim (Nice guy), and said we would not be doing anything but the oil change for now. Later my daughter picked up her car and the bill was 530$~!! i found out later in the day and called to see why it was so high for an oil change (albeit full synthetic). They said they were performing a "special service" that was recommended and that I included a list of things not asked for and I'm my conversation with Tim - not mentioned. I expressly requested an oil change only for the time being, till we'd had time to explore what she would elect to do maybe sooner or later. The issue is this, they didn't communicate to me in the phone call, what all they would be doing (other than the oil change). They then do what i can only assume is taking advantage of a young woman's naivety (?) and do what I'd consider stuffing the bill to up the list of work. Needless to say, their practice in this matter is very unfortunate - and after so many years of good service I will no longer be using their services. Buyer beware.

This company's work reflects its values…read more An inspection revealed we had several major repairs needed on an old, old vehicle. They allowed us time to decide if it was worth fixing and were creative about getting the costs to something more affordable but ultimately I agreed to have all but one item fixed. Their willingness to work with me on it really sealed the deal. I never felt pressured one way or the other and researched the prices of each repair item and they were market value. I really appreciated that I wasn't given grief for wanting to fix this old beauty instead of calling it quits and also appreciated their confidence in doing this amount of work to make it like new. Most importantly, the repairs were done right without gimmick and they're under warranty! This Christian Brothers Automotive is thorough and the final cost was reasonable compared to the quote (slight increase from what looks like parts being a tad more than anticipated). The initial inspection was awesome too, they have pictures for everything and tell you what's good, not just bad. The whole process was really smooth and simple compared to how big of a decision the repairs really were. Very professional and quick. I'm very thankful and will come back/recommend to others.

Paid for professionals. Got the opposite, and now they won't return calls…read more We trusted Christian Brothers Arapahoe with a 2023 Chevy Traverse my co-owner drives full time for Uber. It's her livelihood, and their own repair order says they knew it. Over 29 visits in two years we paid them $12,519.39 at $175/hour, expecting professional service. From their own invoices: Transmission complaints patched, never fixed. She reported a clunk on shifting time and again and was told they couldn't replicate it. After her numerous complaints, in August 2025 they changed the transmission fluid, saying it was bad. Chevrolet's normal schedule doesn't call for that at all. It was a patch, not a diagnosis. Seven weeks later they pulled the transmission and wrote that the fluid they had just put in was "significantly degraded, suggesting potential damage." Twice in seven weeks they saw a fluid problem. They replaced only the torque converter and put the same transmission back in. It failed in August 2026; now they quote $14,440.98 to replace it. Engine underfilled. The engine takes 6 quarts. They billed 5 quarts on six visits, including the one where she came in with the oil light on and asked them to measure the oil. No measurement recorded, 5 quarts again. Additive the manufacturer says not to use. Chevrolet's manual says "Do not add anything to the oil." They added and charged for an oil additive on at least nine visits. Paid $90 to find a $124 repair, then told to pay $2,374.62. After a rear-end accident she paid $90 to diagnose a rear clunk. Their technician found one problem: "right side exhaust pipe hanger is damaged," something anyone could see in 5 minutes. GM's price for the hanger is $36.72. Even at $175/hour, a 15-30 minute install is $124.22 at most. They never priced it. They quoted a complete exhaust system for $2,374.62 instead. She declined, the hanger stayed broken, and three months later their own notes say the exhaust was "rattling against rear suspension." An independent mechanic confirmed it only ever needed the hanger. Colorado law makes it illegal for a repair shop to say repairs are necessary when they are not. Diagnostic fees that don't match the work. On her last visit they charged two "Level 1" diagnostic fees, $319.98, nearly two hours at their rate, for under an hour of work: a broken sway bar link and a transmission fluid sample. Our independent mechanic checked both in under 10 minutes each. The leaking shocks came from their free courtesy inspection; we never asked them to diagnose shocks. Prices all over the map. The same rear shock job was quoted six times, from $627 to $1,025. Parts jumped 79% in two months. Sold us their own warranty, then wouldn't stand behind it. They upsold us "Nice Difference Care+," run by Christian Brothers' own warranty company. When the transmission failed, it denied the claim and said any misdiagnosis "would need to be addressed directly with the shop." The shop is Christian Brothers. The warranty company is Christian Brothers. Each points at the other; nobody takes responsibility. Nobody answers. Calls to Christian Brothers corporate go unanswered. Dan West, who runs this location, never returned our voicemail. We were told they had videos of the transmission fluid; when we asked for them, we were ignored. We asked in writing for the complete service file with technician notes and photos and got a one-line summary. They were so busy upselling, they forgot they're in the customer service business. If your car is how you earn a living, get a second opinion before you authorize anything here, and ask for the technician's notes in writing.

Carter was the most professional honest repair I think we have ever had on ANY repair I have ever…read morehad done on a vehicle. Here is the review I gave on Mile High Honda the difference of price for repair ... $2,300!!! Carter you now have ALL my families automotive needs covered! Thanks for the savings! "We bought our Honda Odyssey at Mile High, did almost all maintenance there and we paid a lot of money for an extended 7 year bumper to bumper warranty. We never used the warranty and when we had maintenance there they never turned of a tire pressure light that just needed to be reset. We had an issue with a couple months left on the warranty. We took the van in and were informed we had to pay I think it was $65 for diagnostics. The guy that was helping us was smug and just rolled his eyes when I asked about my warranty. When the "diagnostics" were done they came back with a quote of $2400 for the issue which was a wiring harness damaged "do to rodents" so nothing would be covered. The smug employee pissed of my wife so bad we had our van towed to another mechanic. The total for the repairs at the other mechanic ... $180 including an oil change! I used to love going to Mile High and previous repair guys were awesome. This last experience I will never give them another dollar. I still have a month on my warranty. If anything goes wrong at all I will bring them the van and cause a scene if I get any push back. They are happy to take your money when you buy the vehicle and regular maintenance if you love Hondas try the dealer on Arapaho Rd."

Car was fixed in one AFTERNOON- not all day and no overnights. Unheard of! I can always count on…read morethe work completed to be done properly and on time. Fair prices too.
