Our Expedition started smoking and we weren't sure what was going on so pulled into Nelson's to see if they could help. Their parking lot was completely full, and they were swamped (2 weeks out), but made it a priority to take a quick look at what was going on with our vehicle. They quickly were able to determine the issue, and because it was minor, bumped us to the front of the list, had us out of there in under an hour, and didn't charge us for the fluids. They were genuinely kind and cared about getting us back on the road safely. I can't recommend them enough. They are our new auto tech people and we won't go anywhere else!!!

We have been using Nelson's Auto over 20 years. They can be trusted with all your automotive needs. They are honest. If they don't perform the task needed they will give you the number of a honest, reliable place to perform the task such as windshield repair. I drive for Lyft , pull livestock trailers and can rely on them keeping our cars and trucks in tip top running order.

Our family has used Nelsen's and referred people to Nelsen's for a lot of years. We have always appreciated their thoroughness and reliability. Wade and the technicians truly know vehicles and are great at diagnosing the problem. I didn't know how much I appreciated them till our church van had a problem and the other shops including a dealership took our money but failed to diagnose the problem. Nelsen's pursued the problem and tried working with the other shops. It took the whole Nelsen team's persistence to correct the dealerships mistake. Our van works great now. We are so thankful for their knowledge and reliability.

My cars check engine was flashing for a misfire. Took it in on a Wednesday, they looked at it and told me what they needed to fix it. Had no updates unless I called where I found out they forgot to order the parts... never even got a sorry. Was able to pick up the car the NEXT Friday and within 2 miles the check engine was back on and idling rough again. Waiting to see what they will do but as of now out $2k for nothing and fairly pissed to say the least. Do not recommend

Nelsen's Auto Tech is the Best!! I own a 79' Chevy Malibu. I have taken it to some other shops in town, one was okay but charged me way to much and another was a speed shop/ "muscle car" shop and they were the most Incompetent shop workers ever and treated me like because I didn't grow up in the 70's I know nothing about my car. So I had almost given up hope on shops here in town. Finally made the decision to come to Nelsen's and they did such a fantastic job on everything I had done to my car. Thank you Brandon for treating me like a friend and with respect. KS thank you for being an awesome technician and making my car drive like it never has before!! Only shop I'll go to from now on they do A++ work!!

I don’t usually review businesses, but I don’t think the reviews do this place justice. Since moving from NY, I’ve struggled to find a good auto shop that I felt was honest and genuinely did the work well. I have had lights on my car for a couple YEARS, taken it in several times to other shops but no one (I guess) knew how to fix it? Within one service, Brandon let me know that bunnies had chewed all my electrical underneath, explained it was because the wiring has soy based materials, and replaced it with something less tasty for them. He fixed up my other issues as well. He was a pleasure to work with, called me and updated me on the services he saw that were relevant and mentioned things to keep my eye on also. Brandon did his absolute best to give me great service and I would recommend to any and everyone. I will definitely be back.

$200 just to get the problem diagnosed and get an estimate of $800 for a fix that shouldn't cost more than $300.

I recently brought my 05 Volkswagen Jetta TDI to Nelson's for a Stage 1 APR tune. Wade guided me through the whole process and let me know what to expect from the tune. I am beyond impressed with the results post-install. The turbo lag was greatly improved, and I'm no longer nervous pulling out into traffic with the added power and throttle response on my Jetta. I absolutely recommend Nelson's to anyone looking for maintenance or added performance on their vehicle. These guys are experts in the automotive field!

I was quoted 75-300 dollars for an electrical issue. Im now at 2k plus and vehicle is still not fixed. I am being charged twice (2) for diagnosing the issues. As a consumer I would imagine that the first two hours of troubleshooting would have given the mechanic the actual cause of the issues. Perception is reality, being charged twice because they couldn't find the issue, replaced parts that didn't need to be replaced and waiting a week for update is not what I imagined. Specially when I was told an update would be provided a week prior. First and last time doing business here.

Wade and his crew are awesome! They are super friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and thorough. Whether you need regular maintenance or more major issues, they get you taken care of with great communication and great pricing. I can’t recommend them enough.

My family, my children and several co-workers have been going to Nelson's for almost 20years. They are by far the most professional, knowledgeable, honest service providers I have ever used. They are an incredible team. Their pricing is always appropriate for the repairs, the work is stellar, and the communication is excellent. I strongly recommend Nelson's for all your auto repair needs!

Called for an appointment for Diesel emissions test and scheduled it for a Monday morning with a Sunday night drop off. Everything was peachy until that very weekend we had a family emergency and had to leave town. I left the cancellation voicemail and that was it. At least I can say that they were kind and helpful over the phone. Thank you Nelsens Auto, I’m sorry I had to cancel!

Friendly and knowledgeable staff. I will absolutely return to Nelson's. The after hours drop off is really convenient too.

I had to make an emergency road trip pit stop to have the turbo on my Pontiac Solstice assessed. Matt, Jamie and Conway were all so friendly, welcoming and helpful. Conway came with me on a road test and checked the tech database for failure mechanisms. If I lived in Fort Collins I'd definitely take my car back here. Thank you!

To set the tone, I have high expectations when I commit money to a vehicle project. Wade and his crew at Nelsen's are awesome. Absolute professionals. I took in a uniquely modified diesel vehicle to them with a performance goal and they accepted the challenge without hesitation. They researched the solutions and provided me with options and costs. Once determined, they even did the custom fabrication needed to complete the project. To top it off they ran it on the Dyno for before and after data on the upgrade. I'm very happy with the outcome in regards to performance and the high quality of the work. I would recommend Nelsen's Auto Tech Center without hesitation.

Nelsen's Auto Tech Center has a great master technician who I would recommend to work on your vehicles. Conway Stevens' diagnostic skills are very thorough! He recently replaced a transmission in our 2015 Silverado. We are very pleased with his work and the time it took to get the work done. Nelsen's gave us a very fair price! Excellent Service! So glad to see a shop that is honest and fair!

There is no one else that we trust our vehicles with! The Nelsen's staff has always been transparent, honest, and trustworthy. We appreciate how much they value their customers. When my 18-year-old son had the opportunity to have a family member's mechanic look at his vehicle for free, he declined because he only trusted Nelsen's.

My girlfriend has sworn by the Nelsen’s Auto crew for years, but I finally had my first interaction with them, so I’ll leave my review. We brought her Jeep in for a transmission service and I thought a flush would be the best thing for it, so that’s what I requested. After some deliberation and research the crew there thought it would be best to follow the service procedure, which requires drain, fill, run, drain fill, instead of the flush or even replacing the filter (which involved replacing the whole pan since this is the Mercedes manufacturer eco-diesel Grand Cherokee). I was a little confused whether this was the best option for preventative maintenance and the gentleman I spoke with thoroughly explained how they decided which procedure to perform. I was informed that they always keep the vehicle’s and the customer’s best interest in mind when making repairs and he made that clear with this interaction. These guys truly are an honest shop and worth trusting with your vehicle for all your automotive repairs and maintenance.

Very thorough. They check all possibilities to see exactly what the problem is. Anything else they notice is written down and explained in detail. I'm not giving 5 stars only because I have to get more work done on my car before I can drive it, and need to wait until I get paid again. Very honest people. Highly recommend!

This is the only place to take your car in for service in Fort Collins and surrounding areas. I have been coming here for over seven years after Loveland Ford almost ruined my car doing just a routine oil change. I've always been given a fair price for outstanding service by friendly, knowledgeable people. I have never been up sold or up charged for any of the services my car has had. As a single older woman, It is important to be able to rely on the garage that takes care of your car. They have built a solid, loyal clientele by treating people with integrity and respect. I highly recommend Nelsen's.
