I took my car in for an assessment on an oil leak and also a check engine light. There was no upselling. Just here are the facts, showed me underneath of the car, and gave an estimate. Clean waiting area and I felt safe. Highly recommend!

Truly an awesome experience with the Merrill Team! They gave me an honest assessment regarding some concerns I was having, and completed the service in great time. The team is also super knowledgeable and went out of their way to teach me about how one of my car features worked. The fact that they offer a ride to a destination if your car is being serviced is also just top-notch; I don’t believe I’ve ever been offered that from a car mechanic before. All in all, friendly group of people that provided me with great service. Definitely recommend Merrill!

The guys here are always helpful and accommodating. While they do quality work, they work diligently with the warranty company and also offer a loaner car or ride back or from home, making it less stressful to get your car fixed

My daily driver, a beater Linc. Navigator 2008, rebuilt from salvage. Rear air suspension leaking down after 10 years. Replaced w/traditional coil spring over strut, then aligned all 4 wheels. Replaced cracked serpentine belt on engine. Was checking estimates for suspension work, Merrill Automotive was the 2nd place I checked. Usually get 3 estimates. Learned that Merrill Auto. could get me in for the work in under 48 hours, which appealed to my 'peace of mind' as I had good reason to expect the compressor for the air suspension could fail soon and leave me stranded. The work was a full day project and took place the same day as the recent high profile assassination. Customer service was first rate. After checking the vehicle in just as they opened for the day, Merrill Auto. summoned a ride-share driver to take me home to a north suburb. I called them about an hour before their scheduled closing time for progress status: they would complete the work by the time they closed, so they sent a link to my phone to review the work & charges, I paid remotely, and they summoned a ride-share driver to bring me back to the shop. They were closed by that time, my receipt was in my vehicle in Merrill's parking spaces, and retrieved my key from a pre-arranged location. Drove it home. Glad to have that work completed! I rated the charges paid for the work as "unsure" since I didn't get that 3rd estimate. However, the first estimate was from a shop I visited in person and I did not like the cluttered work bays and the overall appearance of disorganization as well as the appearance of not being clean of slip & fall hazards all over the work area deck. I am pleased with the 4 year/48K warranty on the parts & labor at Merrill Auto. Will return to this shop for future work/repairs.

Merrill Automotive helped me out on a day I needed it most! I unfortunately got two flat tires on one side of my car and did not know what to do. Quickly I found a solution with Merril Automotive, something economical and extremely helpful!

I had my timing belt replaced, alignment adjusted, brake replaced, and some electrical work, done. Dane, at the desk, Kept me posted as to what was found that should be addressed immediately and what could wait to be replaced or repaired later. The cost of each action was discussed. The bill was high but, was accounted for. When I got in the car and drove away it ran and steered like a new car. I’ve been a customer at Merrill (Axel) since the early 60’s, and and will continue to be in the future.

We have a 2001 vehicle and have gone to Merrill for many years. They have skilled mechanics who keep our vehicle safe and reliable. When repairs are needed, they explain what is the highest priority and what can wait, which helps with our budget. They have earned our trust and we often recommend them to family and friends.

Very pleased with my service. I took one car into have it aligned, they told me they couldn't due to bad ball joints. Since it was my first visit I thought " are they? " Yes, they totally were. Car aligned afterwards, drives great. Took my second car in to have it aligned as well. Staff is very courteous and professional.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Had a great experience at Merrill Automotive. Josh worked on my truck and was really informative the whole way through. He explained what was going on in a straightforward way and didn’t try to upsell anything, which I appreciated a lot. The service was quick, fair, and honest. I’ll definitely be coming back here — Josh made the whole process way easier than I expected.

This company and every person I’ve worked with in the last four years has been incredible. Only a Karen or a Darrren (no offense to those named at birth) could find a consistent fault. My car was serviced by a company in Broomfield that was pretty good, and then when I moved back to Lakewood they saved my #Lexus from a bad #transmission install when my son and I were trying to “go cheap.” Never again. We found #Meriill.

I cannot recommend this shop enough! The whole team is so friendly, approachable, transparent and communicative. My car was in rough shape in need of multiple repairs and with Josh's help I was able to prioritize which issues I wanted to address first. No pressure, no coercion, just a lot of patience and excellent customer (and car!) service!

As soon as I stepped in Merrill Automotive I heard a very welcoming "Good Morning!" I met with Dane and we was great start to finish! Explained everything perfectly and made sure i was aware of what they would be doing and how much I would be paying. Also very impressed with the complimentary Lyft ride back home and when my jeep was ready which was very much needed. They send you a entire report with pictures and explaining what may is wrong with your vehicle which is nice to have proof being sent to you so you know you're not being lied to about anything. The pricing was also very fair. My dad is a mechanic and when i sent him the pricing he also agreed it was fair, so its nice to know they are not over charging which is always a fear coming in alone to a mechanic shop as a woman. There were no surprise charges when i picked up my jeep after all of my work being done and the communication from Dane was excellent! Highly recommend and I will be coming back for all future car issues thank you Dane and Merrill Automotive!!

Honestly the best auto shop I’ve been to in Colorado. Certainly the friendliest staff I’ve experienced at an auto shop and they were very patient with me trying to decide on the best option for new tires within a reasonable price range. I got my battery, tires, and TPMS sensors replaced. They explained everything to me while giving me space to ask plenty of questions, it was very timely, and they kept me updated via text which was nice. Highly recommend!

I brought a car to Merrill automotive for a pre-purchase inspection. They made it easy to schedule and provided a thorough report that gave us the confidence to move forward with the purchase. Dane in particular was fantastic, and brought us out to the vehicle to make sure we understood everything the mechanic had seen, and answered all our questions kindly and patiently. Only problem is that they’re not closer to where we live: we were in Lakewood in pursuit of a specific vehicle, but it’s quite a ways away from our home. If it was closer, I’m sure we’d be back, but I’d recommend them to anyone in the area.

I’ve been to this auto shop twice now — once for a routine oil change and most recently when my car needed immediate attention. During my last visit, I showed up on a Sunday in tears because I needed my car fixed as soon as possible. Josh was incredibly understanding, patient, and accommodating from the moment I arrived. He took the time to listen, reassured me, and made sure my car was taken care of quickly. It’s rare to find a place that not only provides reliable service but also treats customers with genuine kindness and compassion during stressful moments. I truly appreciated the professionalism and empathy I received and will definitely continue bringing my car here. Highly recommend this shop to anyone looking for honest, dependable service.

The gentlemen at Merrill have always been amazing and helpful to a T. There work os A1 class exceptional and comparable to the best! They have certified mechanics. Their costomer service is just as world class as their work on their automobiles! Mine is a European model. They keep in touch with client if anything comes up prior to work so client always knows and is kept in the loop of decisions that will affect price outcome! It is actually fun and makes me happy to see those guys! Unfortunately I have to pay to see them! Great job guys!!!!!!
