I've been coming here for a couple years now and I cannot recommend their shop enough. Mike and Doug have been a pleasure to work with through many small and large repairs, including an engine replacement. While the dealership was a pain and couldn't diagnose my issues, they figured out the problems and charged me less. They've also spotted issues and given me honest answers on which ones are critical and which ones I could wait before repairing. They're the right mix of affordability and quality work that has made me a loyal customer and fan. I recommend them to all of my friends. As long as I live in the area I will be taking my cars here.

These guys do a really thorough job, whether for a specific problem or for a general check over before going on a trip. My car is 20 years old and is running better since I’ve started using them because of their attention to detail. And Mike and Doug are very courteous and helpful to find out what I need done.

Auto Repair Place was excellent, they got me in right away when had a car issue while out of town. Got me back on the rode, and came in under their initial estimate. Very pleased and car is working great.

Doug was very direct and professional. Communicated what was going on with my vehicle every step of the way when I brought in my Ford Edge for a transmission replacement. It was very difficult to decide on where to go for a job like that, but I am happy I went with the auto repair place, and will be coming back as needed (hopefully not too much)!

I've been bringing cars to "Auto Repair Place" for many years, always happy. Recently I brought in our EV for electrical trouble (not related to the drive train), which turned out to be mouse-chewed wiring. The work was finished in a few hours. Definite thumbs-up!

Great place to take your vehicle!!! This is definitely a full service shop. They offer many other services other than auto repair for your vehicle. Would highly recommend them!!! They are capable and honest.

I’ve taken multiple cars over to the auto repair place over the last eight years. Can’t think of a better place to have your car done properly. Prompt, proficient, friendly, and local.

Great experience. They prioritized my car, and I could pick it up after work, saving me a couple Uber rides at least.

I had been bringing my ram promaster to this shop for years for oil changes and maintenance. Unfortunately, I will never be returning after our last service. A few months back I brought in our van because we had noticed some leaking that looked like it had some oil residue in it. This shop claimed to thoroughly look through all parts of the engine and could not find a source for the leak, claiming that it was just 'rain water' that we were noticing. Unfortunately the leak continued and when we brought it to another shop, they quickly found that the oil filter adapter was the culprit which will now cost us over $1000 in repairs. Beware paying this shop's "diagnostic fee" because they likely won't find the issue.

I came in to get my engine splash shields replaced, and the team here went above and beyond. Not only did they complete the job efficiently, but they also performed a visual inspection and fixed my passenger-side brake lights. I had the pleasure of working with Mike, who is one of the most knowledgeable mechanics I've ever met. If you're looking for a trustworthy auto repair shop in Boulder, I highly recommend this place!

Excellent follow-up on some issues we were having after the maintenance was completed. They are friendly, trustworthy, and affordable. While they needed to fix a lot of problems for our 20+ year old car I didn't feel like they were upselling me or bringing up unrelated problems.

Doug and the team were very informative and helpful with getting my Tacoma back up and running after some overheating issues. Never felt upsold or taken advantage of. Straight forward and professional shop.

Found this place a few months ago when looking for a reliable car shop close to work. I needed a big repair done to our Ford Explorer and Mike & Doug provide honest and reliable work! Will definitely keep coming back here for my oil changes and other car needs.

The Auto Repair Place has gone above and beyond to help me warranty a part that they replaced a couple of years ago. I had been going to them for years while I was studying in Boulder (with both my Jeep and Subaru) and they have always been kind and very communicative. After moving to Canada this past year, I ran into issues with my cat and it needed replacing again. Even though it wasn't clear if this was actually a faulty part or an issue with my car, they worked tirelessly to help me out and get the part warrantied (even through all the complications around getting it across the border). I am very grateful for how graciously they handled the situation and how generous they were with their time and resources. Thank you Auto Repair Place, would highly recommend!

Brought my cargo van in with an oil leak leaving visible stains on pavement. Paid their diagnostic fee to be told no, it's not a leak, it's fine. But the oil stains grew. Another shop immediately found a leak, and it had been long enough that the labor was going to cost over $1k due to the sheer size of the mess. Now having the shop look over everything else they ever repaired.
