A friend who used to live in Golden recommended these guys to me for some repairs. The place looks like the kind of place you probably wouldn't want to take your car for service, but do not let that fool you. These guys are good, and more importantly, they don't play the mechanic games I've encountered for years.
To make a long story short, I drive from Boulder to Golden b/c they're 1) honest, 2) fair and 3) very qualified.
Go see Dan at the front counter and tell him your auto woes, and you will not regret it. They have saved me beaucoup bucks on auto repair. I had a quote from one shop for $600 in repairs. The CM did it for $250 and it runs great.
I can't say enough good things about them.
Pros: HONESTY , professionalism, cheap
Cons: dingy place
