DART Auto

I am new to the Porsche world and was sent to Dart by my cousin. I could not be more pleased. After 3 encounters with Dart I have found them to be honest, clear and thorough with their diagnosis, and an overall pleasure to work with. This past experience was handled by Jesse and Mike and not only did they fix the issue, they returned my car to me spotless, exactly how I had dropped it off. We all know car care can be a bear, but when money is well spent and customer service is of this calibre, I do not feel so bad having to spend the money to keep things humming.

I came to DART after reading these good reviews and hearing good referrals from a facebook group. All my expectations were met. Dave was honest and easy to talk to. Immediately, you get the feeling that he is a truly nice guy who you can trust. They were able to get my car into the shop and fixed quickly. I will definitely return here for future service needs.

I requested something out of the norm and they were very accommodating. Dave, the owner is right there to answer questions. I appreciate their help and I save a lot compared to the costs from the dealership.

I’ve been to Dart Auto twice now for my 2009 VW Rabbit. I’ve been very impressed with their customer service and thoroughness. I moved to Denver a year ago and have been looking for a shop that I can trust and I definitely feel like I’ve found it. I checked out a couple of other shops before finding Dart but either didn’t feel they had enough VW experience or didn’t feel like I could 100% trust them. Dart made me feel confident on both fronts right away. My last visit they squeezed me in the same day to take care of a couple of minor problems and then only charged me a handshake. You don’t see that kind of old school customer relationship building these days, especially from a car repair shop. They earned themselves a loyal customer.

My experience with DART was great!
I’m from out of town and will be moving to CO by year end. I was around on vacation a few weeks ago and needed to get an oil change (my car made it over, before me). Not knowing where to go (i normally dont go to the dealers and rather support the indie mechanics) i turned to Unilocal.I was torn between 3 places (all good reviews) but decided on DART based on their deal.
When i got to the shop they gave us a loaner and told me to «use it as long as you need» which was great because i didnt want to waste an hour of my vacation waiting at an auto shop! My brother and i managed to get breakfast and run a few errands and came back to my car waiting for ME!
There are a few problems with my car i need to get fixed, but i do know i will be bringing it back to DART when i settle in.
Thanks again!

Did a great job explaining the issues with my car. I agree with other reviews in that how it is a shop you can trust. That goes a long way in my eyes.

A professional shop that was very helpful and courteous. I appreciate the fluids guys!

Dave & his crew are top notch!

Do you have a German make? If so take yours over to DART auto. It’s a great shop that does quality work at a good price. Owner Dave and his team make sure all
is right with your car when they’re done with it.
I have two V Dubs and I love them both but as anyone knows they tend to have crazy quirks from time to time. Every time something goes wrong DART figures it out and takes care of it. Not are only these guys competent but they are trustworthy. I have never been worried about my repair and Dave (the owner) seemed to genuinely care if we were satisfied so it really can’t get any better than that!
DART auto = piece of mind

I fulfilled an item on my bucket list and purchased a 1980 Porsche 924… it was in good shape, but I knew it needed work. After searching for a reputable Porsche repair shop — I was directed to Dart Auto. These fine folks were thorough, up front and very nice to work with. After some extensive work, I picked up my car yesterday and Im having a blast driving it. Dave (owner) and Rob (my mechanic) were fantastic. I will be back in spring for some additional work — and I cannot express how excellent I was treated. Super service and great customer service. Thanks so much.

Yikes! I was really concerned about picking out a shop to work on my newly acquired 1976 Porsche 914. Based mainly on the strength of their website, and Unilocal,I gave them a try when it developed a problem with the shifter linkage (wouldn’t go into 1^st or reverse). Talked to Dave, the owner, on the phone and got a good feeling about the attitude (or lack of it) at his place. I had this terrible vision of Porsche gear clad assholes sneering at me for having the audacity of rolling up in my mere «Volkswagen of a Porsche».
Turned out there is NO attitude at all here. My repair took 3 days (I had no appointment) and the tab was very reasonable. Also got a complete check-​up on the car done, and had some recommendations for some needed work down the road. Didn’t get any grief when I explained that the finances would have to recover a bit first.
2^nd visit was all of two days later. Had a new failure in the 914. The throttle kept getting stuck open and my attempt at fixing it only made it worse (broke the slack adjuster). Limped in at constant 3500 rpm and parked it with a mighty backfire. Dave and company looked it over, and suggested a complete work-​up on all things throttle. Picked up 2 days later with a $ 100 tab.
Pretty sure this will be my go-​to shop fro here on out.

Nothing better. I rather pay Dart the same money than go to local Porsche Dealers in Denver. I feel I can always trust them, prices are very fair, honest, courteous, provide loaner when available, drop me to my home if needed, will fix what is needed as apposed to finding new problems (ghost problems) that never ever even existed.
I have been taking all 4 of my Porsche to them for past 3 years or more.

Wow! A shop that I might actually feel like I can trust? Tell me more…
I’m new to town, just bought my winter car (Passat) 3 weeks ago which craps out on me already. Brought it in to Dart because of the good reviews here. Talked to Dave the owner and got a good feeling right off from him. Came back to have the car fixed after the paperwork on my extended warranty went through.
Dave, Steve and the mechanic I talked to were all helpful, patient with my questions, they weren’t pushy, and what they said made sense (which is how I try to weed out the shops that are only after your credit card). They could have tried to push me on expensive repairs, but they did only what needed to be done to get the car going again (about $ 200, which was not covered by the warranty, but was really reasonable). They even gave me a ride home when I dropped the car off to be worked on.
Without my even asking, Dave was able to find out some background on my car and told me that I might want to consider the car’s past and whether I wanted to keep it or not. This was EXTREMELY helpful! That to me is the sign of someone who is concerned with what’s in my best interest vs. just upping your bill and having you continue to come back for more. He will continue to get my business as long as that level of honesty is kept. I found him to be trustworthy and I will be back, whether I keep this car or not.

Great place. Needed front air suspension replaced on my Audi allroad. Had it done in a day. Very fair pricing!

Previously, I’ve been a loyal customer of Autobahn Premier Service for many years for servicing my VWs. However, once I moved to Park Hill, driving all the way to Englewood to get my oil changed (and arranging for rides to/​from) was a huge hassle, and so I knew I’d need to find a new garage.
I saw an ad for DART in the Greater Park Hill News, and decided to give ‘em a try! If you mention their ad, they’ll give you a free safety inspection (always nice). So, I made an appt. for my oil change and went on in! I had a teensy bit of trouble finding it (Monaco doesn’t go all the way through if you’re traveling north to 48^th, so you have to go around). DART specializes in Porsche, Audi, and VW parts/​repairs. They like to tinker on race cars, as is apparent from the photos around the shop, and fun racing stuff like seats and harnesses and shoes.
After I dropped my car off, I got a ride back to my house in Park Hill via their «shuttle» (really just one of the employees in his truck, but it was greatly appreciated!).
Unfortunately for me, one of my car’s CV boots was torn and had to be repaired (the good news is that the joint seemed ok!). They ran out to get the right part for my car and had it repaired by the end of the day! The price was reasonable for the repair, and everyone at the shop was really friendly. I’m always on the lookout for any shady business, since I’m a lady, but these guys seemed completely top-​notch!
I was really satisfied with my visit, and I will definitely be back for any repairs/​routine maintenance that my W8 needs!
