I came in needing an oil change and an engine light check. Gary was amazing with taking care of both in a quality and timely manor. He was even kind enough to offer hep If I ever felt I was being taken advantage of elsewhere. 10/10 would recommend!

I had failed my emissions test multiple times. I enjoy working on my own ride. Couldn’t figure it out. Gary, owner operator, was able to get my car to pass! Truly a great man. He not only took it himself, he spent time just to talk to me. And met me on a Saturday to deliver my car. Highly recommend this man and his company!

First time customer of Wheat Ridge auto. All the five star reviews are spot on. I brought in our Toyota RAV4 because of an oil leak coming from the right front of the car. I was told by other mechanics it was a bad CV joint and or axle. Gary said it was simply a missing gasket on the oil plug. Needless to say, I will be using Gary from now on as our mechanic.

Want to support a local business that provides quality services? Bring your vehicle here! I dropped my car off for an oil change without an appointment and it was ready within 2.5hrs. Gary (the owner) was very friendly and changed way less than the dealership or any other chain oil shops.

This shop really does deserve the great reviews. Gary is awesome. The techs are great. Quality work that I know I can trust. I used to live in the neighborhood, but now I will gladly drive down out of the mountains to take my car to Wheat Ridge Auto Service. Nothing but gratitude for this shop.

Gary is such a kind and honest mechanic! I had some trouble with a weird sound in my front left brake and it was worrying me since I have a long road trip back home but he was honest and said I would be fine for the drive back, that it was nothing to worry about. He was honest and didn’t try to get any money out of me, considering I don’t know much about cars haha. He didn’t even charge me to check it out and was so patient with me. 10/10 recommend this auto shop for any questions/troubles you have. Gary and his crew are amazing!

Gary with Wheatridge Auto was my mechanic for over 20 yrs. It was by accident that I chose them but what a find. It extremely hard to find a mechanic responsive, reliable, and fair. I sent all my family and friends to Gary. I recently moved out of the Area and finding it hard to find a trustworthy mechanic. Job Well done Gary and Thanks

absolutely 10/10. Gary and Steve are incredible. they don't charge you more than they need to, and they look for specific problems instead of fixing things that don't need to be fixed in order to charge extra (which is rare to find). will be going to them exclusively, and sending anyone I can their way.

I had a very disappointing experience at this shop. After paying for a repair, the same issue (same code) came back almost immediately. When I returned, they refused to even check their work or stand behind the repair. Instead of taking responsibility, they blamed me for suggesting a code—even though, as professionals, they should have verified it themselves if they had any doubts. In addition, the shop is extremely dirty. Each time they got into my vehicle, they left black oil stains on my cloth seats with their dirty fingers—no seat covers or basic cleanliness standards. Overall, I was treated like a nuisance rather than a customer. If you’re looking for a place that guarantees their work, treats your car with care, and values their customers, I’d strongly recommend looking elsewhere.

I am the owner of this business & would like to comment on Antonis Demeny's review. If you are owner of the Nissan, let me explain a few details you left out. The vehicle owner walked in my shop with a printout from Auto Zone showing an oxygen sensor code along with an oxygen sensor purchased from the store. The printout also stated the most probable solutions for this code. She ask me how much to install the part she brought in. Gave her a price & she agreed to have us install it. Part was installed, coded cleared. She returned in minutes with the check engine light back on. I check the code immediately & it was the same oxygen sensor code. Asked if I guarantee my work, I explained to her that i installed a part she brought in that Auto Zone's print out said the most likely cure. I told her we did not diagnose the problem, we installed a part she brought in. Also told her that we would be happy to diagnose the problem but that would be more involved & it would be best to pick a time that she can drop the car off. Please bring the invoice back, I will give you a full refund & pay for a full interior detail

As a woman who knows next to nothing about cars I’m always skeptical walking into the mechanic. My car was shaking when braking but I went into a tire place and had my rotors checked and they said they were fine. Took my car into Gary and he insisted it was my rotors. Said if the issue kept happening to bring my car back and he’d refund me and put my old rotors back in. That wasn’t necessary, he was right and my car’s driving great. 10/10 would recommend!

At first I left Wheat Ridge Auto Services a 5 star review on 12/17 but today I have to adjust it because on the 17th I had an Oil change done, come to find out today (12/18) the engine oil is over filled. Additionally, the invoice under labor states Remove & Replace Rear Brakes & Rotors, Turn Rotors: $334.00 but when I took my vehicle in to get a quote for the front breaks from two different places on 12/18 both informed me the rear rotors were not replaced nor turned. Therefore, I drove back to Wheat Ridge Auto Services to clarify this and a mechanic informed me: rear rotors were not replaced but were indeed turned and I showed him the picture attached of a rear rotor and asked “Is this what rotors look like after they are turned?” And he said YES, which is confusing to me because that’s not what a before & after picture looks like after extensive research. Therefore, my concern is that the rotors were not turned as quoted, if the actual cost on labor for replacing rear break pads and turning rotor is $334.00 or if that includes removing & replacement of rear rotors (which is not a service that was done and confirmed by a mechanic at the shop). I’m fine paying for services done to my vehicle but not for services not done; as anyone would be and over filling my engine oil is of course a major concern.
