This auto repair shop is aptly named. This week I brought my son's 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee in for…read moreneeded brake repairs and fluid replacement as well as brake light repair. The car had gotten to the point where the brakes were squealing, with completely worn pads, so there was metal pressing on metal. The car is old, and I figured it probably needed additional repairs to make it safe. The staff drew up an invoice of items that needed to be fixed, sorted by priority. I wasn't certain about one top item, so a staff member showed me on the car what was wrong and explained the dire consequences that could result if it were not repaired. They were able to complete all of the requested repairs the same day. (I noticed that they asked their parts distributor to make a speedy delivery.) The staff members seemed honest and knowledgeable, and they were friendly and pleasant. I would take my car here, and I recommend it to others. I recommended it to my son.

This past month (Sept 2025) during an inspection of my wife's 4Runner it was found that the head gasket was badly compromised allowing coolant to leak into a cylinder. Jess gave frank, professional advice on costs of repairs, time frame requirements or any unexpected issues to provide me with the information for me to make informed decision. This major engine problem could have been a nightmare but the crew of ATLR went above and beyond to get the repairs done well, rapidly and correctly. I have had ATLR maintain and repair my family's vehicles exclusively for over 20 years and have not once been disappointed with the quality of work, pricing or courtesy. I highly recommend ATLR for vehicle repairs and normal periodic maintenance in the Denver area. A well deserved 5 star rating

I was told that if I could make it in before closing in one hour that he could run a diagnostic check.

He was kind to ease my mind, at the last minute, that I could address the issue next week.

Honest, Reliable, Thorough - A Rare Find…read more I've been bringing my Toyota, Jeep, and Acura here for everything from new tires and snow tire swaps to suspension work, tune-ups, and brakes. They handle it all--and they do it right. What sets this shop apart is their upfront honesty and thorough service. No upselling, no surprises--just clear explanations and solid work. They take the time to walk through what's needed and why, and I always leave feeling confident in the repairs. Beyond the technical side, they're just good people--friendly, respectful, and genuinely committed to doing right by their customers. It's rare to find a mechanic you can trust across multiple vehicles and services, but this team delivers every time. Highly recommend if you value reliability, transparency, and great service from bumper to bumper.

I'm very familiar with how service writers push items the customer really doesn't need. You will never experience that with Arvada automotive. Zack one of the owners runs the business with intense integrity. You won't find a more honest repair shop with fair pricing and quality workmanship. They won't try to sell you something you don't need which corporate owned dealerships often will. When I dropped my car off Cameron helped me I told him if they found anything related to the problem I was having just go ahead and replace it. When he called me that the car was ready he said the other part was fine. That saved me a little over $300.00. A lot of other places may have just replaced it. I would recommend this shop to anyone looking for honesty and integrity in a automotive repair shop.

Then on top of all this nonsense the Mercedes Shop stated the shop evacuated the line so there is no Freon.

This all started when i dropped my car off for an oil change and found three days later that the oil cap was left off. There was a mess of engine oil throughout my engine bay. The customer service was rather appalling. I will say they gave me my money back for my oil change and $50 additional to cover the cost of the oil I had to beg my client to take me to get just so I could make it home safely. They did also state that they would clean the engine bay for me, but after the missing oil cap and the horrible customer service there was no way they were touching my car again. Now when I showed them the picture of my car yes, they saw what was missing. However, I was told that accidents happen and it was shrugged off. I spoke with the owner later in the day and he was saying everything under the sun about their personal life to make it seem that their mistake was okay. I in my industry can't make mistakes, that's the same with the auto industry. A mistake could mean life or death. Granted an oil cap won't really kill me, but for someone that works very hard for their vehicle I expect to get my car back in if not better than when I dropped it off. All in all I would never recommend this place to anyone one. If you're in Lakewood and looking for a great automotive shop head up to Simply Auto on Union.
