Boulder Auto Repair

Jason's mechanical knowledge and experience is obvious from the get go. He is trustworthy and not under any pressure to meet certain work/profit goals like many repair shops, and because of this he won't "fix" the unbroken. The mechanic that serviced my car several months ago strongly encouraged I service my breaks, he said I probably only have a couple hundred more miles on them. I finally got around to following his advice this week, and 5000 miles later, and asked Jason to replace the rotors. Jason could have made a good amount of money for this ~$800 repair, instead he gave me a call and pointed out that my brakes were in fine condition and did not need replaced. Great evidence of his attention to detail and his honesty. He also offers a great pickup/drop off service which makes everything even more convenient.

Jason was upfront, detailed yet concise, and took great care of my vehicle as if it were his own. As a small business owner myself, I appreciated his attention to detail and thorough approach, honest communication, and timeliness. His price match was a great bonus - always happy to pay for quality work. I'll be returning for my vehicle's next service.

I've had John work on my Ford F-250 a few times, first on the hubs and then he addressed an injector issue. He's a great mechanic...very organized, clean, calculated and above all honest. I would not hesitate to bring any of my vehicles back to him for servicing.

I recently got the head gasket on my Subaru fixed at The Shop and it was an awesome experience - can't say enough good things! Jason was really efficient, which is important to me. The service was really reliable, and I know I can trust the work that was done on my vehicle. I will definitely be referring all my friends here.

I've trusted John and his team to keep my cars running smoothly for several years. He has always been reliable and has gone out of his way to provide great service. No matter if it was my old suburban or newer subaru, they get the job done quickly and at a reasonable price. Highly recommended.

Jason is a very intuitive mechanic that takes extreme pride in his work. The Shop is has fair pricing and excellent customer service. I have an older car that constantly needs work and newer. There is no other place I would trust my transportation to and would recommend him to anyone.

John and Jason are both great. They're very honest, easy to talk to, and good at explaining your best options for keeping your vehicle running at its best for a reasonable cost. I thought I needed my clutch replaced, but they convinced me it was totally unnecessary. Their work is high-quality, timely and professional. Despite his advanced training in European vehicles, I have been bringing my old Tacoma to John for years, and he's kept it running as good as new for a very fair price, especially compared to other local shops. I can't recommend The Shop enough!

Great work. John and Jason were able to diagnose an unusual problem quickly and get me back on the road. The service was fast and for a fair price. I used to believe that it was important to take your vehicle back to the dealer since the technology and electronics are so complex now. After my experience with The Shop, I believe these guys are capable of direct competition with the dealerships.

I have been completely satisfied with the work and prices at The Shop. Jason is very friendly, flexible, and easy to get a hold of. In my experience, he has gotten repairs done extremely quickly, and his work has been excellent. He will happily talk you through any problems you're having with your car. When I first took my car to him, in addition to the necessary repair, he did a thorough inspection of the car and warned me of issues that I might have to deal with in the future (and even included pictures of relevant parts). He goes above and beyond what I have experienced at other shops I've been to in Boulder. Highly recommended!

I cannot begin to describe how amazing Shop Automotive and John have been to our family without first describing a bit of the horror we experienced with Christian Brother’s automotive (CB). We brought our little Saturn Ion to CB for an inspection, oil change, and figure out why our car was making “clunking” noises and to potentially get our door that wouldn’t open repaired. The clunking was coming from the sway bar system and they recommended that we replace everything… the sway bar itself, the bushings and the links. They that we get an alignment done because of doing “front end work”. They also charged us $90 to “diagnose” that our car door needed a new latch kit, they then wanted to charge us another $270 for parts and labor on top of their diagnoses to fix it. Luckily I ran from them. My father is a mechanic and was able to offer some insight and told me to shop around. That led me to Shop Automotive and John. I dropped the car off with John and in an hour he did a once over on the car, found the same issues that CB had found, oh and he FIXED THE DOOR. HE FIXED THE DOOR IN UNDER AN HOUR. No new parts, no $90 diagnostics… fixed. He also assured me the sway bar and the bushings were fine. He found parts WAY less expensive for the same quality as compared to CB He also was confused when I had said CB Auto recommended an alignment because I was having “front end work done”. Sure enough upon further research, the sway bar has nothing to do with the alignment on the car. They were just trying to make more money off of my family. So here is the run down: If you want a place that prices fair and looks for the best deal for you… GO TO SHOP AUTOMOTIVE If you want honest diagnostics… GO TO SHOP AUTOMOTIVE If you want clear communication and reasonable solutions… GO TO SHOP AUTOMOTIVE Thank you so much for everything John.
