Driving up 285 to Buena Vista for the holiday we had a belt on our motor break 4 miles outside Conifer. We contacted the only 2 shops open in town & Landmark Automotive was 1 of them. We limped the car up the road to the shop. Wiley & his staff got us in immediately to check everything over & ordered a new belt. Considering the damages could have been waaaay worse they were able to get us in & out in the time it took to go up the street, have lunch & a strong cocktail to take off the edge from a "great" holiday start. I own a automotive business in Denver & have very strong opinions about customer service & shop service in this industry. It is greatly appreciated to see other shops trying to make difference & truly stepping up to go above & beyond with customer service. Thank you again fellas!

I can't say enough good things about this shop. It was recommended to me by a friend and I will never go anywhere else. Thank you soooo much Coloradoland team.

When the car was ready, I got in to find that the clock in the car was now inaccurate, suggesting the battery had been disconnected. Several of the plastic pegs that hold the front grill in place were missing. Today I had an oil change at the competition who completed the service in 20min. They pointed out that My brake fluid was dark, possibly dirty. My rear brake pads were thin, and my oil pan had a leak. I know that it is unreasonable to blame all these things on deliberate sabotage, but still I wonder WHAT was going on for 3 hours in an empty shop. IF YOU VALUE YOUR CAR, TAKE IT ANYWHERE ELSE.

Beyond the technical side, they're just good people--friendly, respectful, and genuinely committed to doing right by their customers.

Initially positive, my experience with Arvada German Garage turned negative after they failed to…read morediagnose a severe oil leak that triggered my check engine light. Their poor communication and vague recommendations led me to another mechanic, who identified the issue. I don't trust them and wouldn't recommend their services. I've been taking my car to Arvada German Garage for the last six months since moving to Colorado. My first couple of visits for oil changes went smoothly, and I was impressed with the owner, who seemed very nice and informative. I was optimistic that I'd found a reliable shop. However, after my most recent experiences, I've completely changed my mind. After my second visit, I noticed a rattling noise coming from my engine. When I brought the car in for inspection, they informed me that it was the timing chain and gave me a quote for the repair. However, they didn't explain how serious this issue could be or that it had the potential to ruin my engine if left unchecked. They also mentioned I would need new rear brakes soon, but since I couldn't afford both at the time, I put off the repairs and went on my way. Last week, I returned for another routine oil change and finally had the rear brakes replaced. I dropped the car off on a Friday and picked it up just before closing. While the brakes were fine, I immediately noticed the check engine light was on, which was not the case when I dropped the car off. I turned around and went back to the shop, where the technician admitted he thought he had "cleared the code" earlier. He cleared it again, but after driving for 10 minutes, the light came back on. Unfortunately, the shop is closed on weekends, so I had to wait until Monday to return. When I brought it in, I explained the issue again, but they said they would have to keep my car all day to look at it, but I had work so was unable to leave it. I was told to come back Thursday. Already feeling frustrated, I dropped the car off first thing Thursday morning, hoping they would finally resolve the issue. By late afternoon, I hadn't heard anything, so I called them. The response I got was vague, they weren't sure what the problem was, but they suggested changing the oil filter or possibly replacing the sensors, which would cost $530. But even they admitted they weren't sure if that would fix the problem and that it could be an underlying issue. At this point, I was confused and annoyed, so I took my car back without agreeing to further repairs. The next day, I took my car to a different mechanic, paid $150 for a diagnostic, and within an hour, they told me I had a severe oil leak around the timing chain and gaskets. This was apparently the cause of the check engine light, and they were shocked that Arvada German Garage had not caught or mentioned this issue. It was a serious problem that I was completely unaware of. I'm thankful I took my car to another shop before more damage occurred, but I'm extremely disappointed with the service and lack of communication from Arvada German Garage What started as a positive experience has turned into one of frustration and mistrust. I won't be returning to this shop, and based on my experience, I wouldn't recommend them to others.

I brought my car in because my highest priority was diagnosing and repairing the check engine light…read moreso I could complete my emissions test and finally renew my expired registration. I made that very clear when I scheduled the appointment, dropped the car off around 8:30 a.m., and again explained that I needed the vehicle back by 2:00 p.m. because I work a night shift. I specifically asked that this be prioritized. Around 11:30 a.m., I received a call that my car was ready. I was then told that the check engine light--the primary reason for my appointment--had not been repaired. After reading the code, they determined the required part would need to be ordered, and I would need to bring the car back on Thursday or Friday. My frustration isn't that the part had to be ordered. I understand that no one can know exactly what's needed until the vehicle is diagnosed. My frustration is the lack of communication. If I had been told when I dropped the car off that there were six vehicles ahead of me and that my priority repair likely couldn't be completed that day, I could have made an informed decision to either leave the car or take it somewhere else. Instead, I lost most of my day and still left without resolving the one issue that brought me in. To Jeff's credit, he reduced my bill by about $30 for the oil change and diagnostic, which I appreciated. However, clear communication at the beginning would have been far more valuable than a discount afterward. Another issue during checkout genuinely concerned me. When I signed electronically to pay for the oil change and diagnostic that had been completed, the system automatically applied my signature to a separate estimate for the future check engine repair. I had not approved that repair. The part still needed to be ordered, and I hadn't even decided whether I would return to have the work done. What made me uncomfortable was that the estimate already contained authorization language stating, "I hereby authorize the repair work..." even though I had never authorized those repairs. In my opinion, signing for completed work should not automatically place a customer's signature on a separate estimate for work that has not yet been approved. An estimate is not the same thing as authorizing repairs. I raised this concern directly with Jeff because he is the owner. Instead of acknowledging why a customer might question seeing their signature on an unapproved estimate containing authorization language, I felt my concern was dismissed. Whether this is a software issue or an internal process, I believe it should be corrected. A customer's signature should only appear on an estimate after that customer has actually approved the proposed repairs. Because I had not authorized that repair, I asked that the estimate be marked "Canceled" before I left. I simply was not comfortable leaving with my signature attached to an estimate I had not accepted. I also learned that Jamie is no longer with the company. She was organized, detailed, proactive, and customer-focused. Looking back, I now realize how much she contributed to the overall customer experience. Since her departure, the communication and coordination no longer feel like they once did. Jeff has always done quality mechanical work on my vehicle, and I still believe the shop is fairly priced and doesn't try to sell unnecessary repairs. However, today's experience showed me that good mechanical work alone isn't enough. Communication, appointment management, and administrative processes matter just as much. Unfortunately, I no longer have the same confidence in the customer experience. UPDATE: Long-time customer correcting factual inaccuracies in the owner's response. Due to character limits, my complete response, call log, Uber timeline, voicemail, and supporting documentation are attached as screenshots. I also encourage readers to review the owner's responses to other critical reviews before forming their own opinion. Summary: Owner states I was "45 minutes late." My attached call log and Uber timeline document the actual timeline. At 8:08 AM, I called, explained my emergency, and asked whether I should reschedule. I was told, "No, go ahead and come in." My review was never about parts availability. It was about communication and concerning administrative practices. An estimate is not an authorization. Automatically transferring a customer's signature onto an estimate does not resolve my concern--it explains it. After my review, I received a voicemail stating the shop would no longer repair my vehicle. I respected that decision. Technical ability was never my concern. Communication, administration, and handling of customer feedback were. Please read the attached screenshots for the complete timeline and supporting documentation.

They had the opportunity to sell me thousand-dollar fixes that I was ready to pay for, but they're the kind of people who say "let's try an oil change first." Recently, I had a personal issue and had to leave my car there for quite a few days, and they were communicative and accommodating while I figured out a way to come get it. They even gave me advice about the DMV that saved me some major hassle. Their prices are competitive too, and I would still come to Dave's if they weren't. I can't speak highly enough of this place.
