Flatout Automotive

I was in town for a ski trip with some friends and upon arriving to Brighton one morning, my 2015 Subaru Forester had some lights that came on that were alarming. Needing some peace of mind before driving back to Colorado I spent some time researching auto mechanics near where my Airbnb was. After some research I stumbled upon Flatout Automotive and noticed that they specialize in Subarus and was able to book an appointment online for Monday morning at 9am (which I am surprised as Monday’s are typically VERY busy for auto repair shops). Upon arriving I had explained my situation and was met with some bad news. My car needed an R&R cvt transmission valve body replacement. I was notified that there were a few customers ahead of my repair and there was a high chance that it would not be completed until later in the afternoon, thus delaying my departure to get home. I was also met with a steep price for the repair that was needed, but was ok with that as I needed to get home ASAP. The shop was kind enough to get me a Lyft to the library for the day so I could get some work done and hang out until my repair was completed. The repair was made and completed at the end of the day and was able to get back on the road home. I am very pleased with the service from this shop and the employees were kind and very informative of what work needed to be done. Not being from the area, I took a chance after reading previous reviews from other customers and would vouch for this shop for anyone who needs work done on their Subaru. Thanks again for the transparency and would recommend this place to any friends or colleagues in the area!

I was purchasing a new car nearby Josh's shop and earlier that morning had called him to see if he could fit me in for a pre-purchase inspection. Josh was very professional on the phone and said he had a couple of openings for that afternoon. His inspection was impressively thorough, and even though the car I was purchasing was not a Subaru, I felt very confident in my later purchase of the vehicle. I would definitely recommend Josh for anyone who's looking for a trustworthy mechanic!

Although I didn’t get service done here because I ended up having a warranty with the dealership, I extremely appreciate the professionalism and Josh truly going out of his way to accommodate me when he was booked. He explained the repair in depth and reviewed options with me. Just that interaction showed me how genuine and honest he is with his work. I will definitely bookmark this place for future repairs and have already referred him to my subie owning friends

Flatout is the best! Josh and his team are friendly, professional, thorough, and never pushy. We’ve brought in several cars this year and every visit has been excellent. So glad we found this shop—we’ll likely be customers for years to come!

I had been having issues with my Legacy. I went to two shops before I found Flatout Auto. Josh was amazing, he found and fixed them. He is a drive to, but well worth. I cannot say enough good things about Flatout Automotive.

Josh and his team were so great! They got my breaks and rotors fixed for me at a very good price. Honest working people over there and explained everything to me! Will definitely be going back for future needs. Also the shop dogs were so sweet and helped me pass the time waiting while playing fetch!

Josh did an awesome job, was very professional and got the issue with my car fixed a lot quicker than I was expecting. I’d happily recommend this shop to my friends and family.

Josh did a great job diagnosing and repairing my old Subaru when it developed a recurring misfire. He specializes in Subarus but I'd trust his knowledge on any car. -Wanted to update (6/25) and say I still highly recommend this place for your Subaru. Thanks always Josh!

Fantastic service and Josh walked me through the repairs he saw compared to what the dealership had originally quoted. Already recommended to friends and pledging my loyalty

Good shop, fair price, solid work - Rod Bearing Service. Took my car in for a rod bearing issue and they did a pretty good job. They explained what needed to be fixed and gave a clear list of parts and repairs. The price they quoted was fair, and there were no surprises. They kept me updated throughout the process and were easy to communicate with, especially when it came to billing and the timeline. So far, the fix has been solid—no issues after getting the car back. Overall, happy with the service. Would go back if I need more work done in the future.

They did an absolutely amazing job! Living in Utah it is hard to find a good company you can trust and they did just that! They do amazing work and are knowledgeable on modified cars! I will be going back!

They did great work here and got me in quick. Much lower quote than some other shops I've called. Fixed my AC with no problems and gave me tips on things to look out for in the future. Appreciate the work and advice! Definitely would to back. (Also there are shop dogs)

I recently took my Subaru to Flatout and was very happy with their service. They are knowledgeable, honest, and fast. I live 35-40 minutes away but it is worth the drive. 100% recommended!

I have taken my 2020 Nissan Versa to Flatout multiple times and am always happy with the service, which is also fairly priced compared to other mechanics I've taken my car to previously. Flatout is now the only mechanic I trust my car with. Josh is super friendly and always nice when describing what my car's problem is/was. I also highly appreciate the communication; emails and texts for appointment reminders, texted updates since I can't take calls at work, and easy to understand estimates with no random or unnecessary charges like some mechanics. Also shout out to the welcoming staff, those puppies are great at welcoming you inside!
