Your Favorite Mechanic

I cannot stress how unbelievably honest and upright Dave and his crew are. If Dave ran childcare I would trust my children with him. Had many cars serviced by him. Always calls to discuss what is going on and gives honest assessments.

If you’re looking for a real, honest mechanic, Dave is the man. He’ll only quote you on things your car needs and his experience shows. I’ve previously been able to buy parts myself and have the shop install them. It’s a great place for any work outside of oil changes that you might need.

I have been going to Dave and the guys at Your Favorite Mechanic for 6 years now. My husband and I LOVE them. They are always fair and honest and are good to call and let us know what is going on and what it will cost. As far as the expensive oil change goes in a previous person’s review, I asked them once what they charge for an oil change and they let me know I was better off going somewhere else because they do charge more that a master lube or walmart, just ask! They are always willing to discuss your car and the charges. They are all fantastic!

I can’t say enough good things about this place and all of the people that work there. They called me every step of the way to let me know what was going on with my car, how much it was going to cost and offered cheaper options if I chose. It’s hard to find someone you trust. I was referred by friends who have known Dave for years and even though it’s a bit of a drive from my home it’s well worth it. Thanks so much everyone there!

I have gone to Dave for years and will continue to. Even though I live far away, it’s worth the drive knowing your vehicle is in good hands. Thanks again for great service, whether large or small.

Your Favorite Mechanic is a family owned place and I absolutely love that about them! I’ve taken my car here for three years now. The thing that surprised me the most is that they have only ever suggested specific repairs based on need. For example, 2 years ago, a VW dealership told me I need a new transmission and a new clutch. I didn’t end up actually needing a new clutch until last August! They easily could have taken advantage of me and didn’t. They are great at finding recycled parts to reduce repair costs too!
The only reason they received 4 stars instead of 5 is that they once forgot to hook my door up properly when they got it fixed. It was a small inconvenience. I went back and they fixed it there and then and I was off! They have spectacular customer service. They always call back when they say they are going to.

Dave did not fix my problem, took 2 weeks to diagnose and the car still broke down after $ 750 in misdiagnosed parts. I called after the car broke down after the repairs and never received a call back. This company will take your money and run, buyer beware.

Had a really great experience with Your Favorite Mechanic. Had my Subaru’s timing belt replaced. The service was completed quickly, on time, and according to their quote. Dave – the owner – clearly takes pride in the work his shop does. His name is on the sign outside, and he inspected the work and my car before it was returned to me. Their service went the extra mile. No leaks, no rattles, and the engine compartment is cleaner than when I brought it in for service.
The job seems to have been done well. Several hundred miles later, I’m very happy with the service I received, and will be bringing my car to Your Favorite Mechanic for any and all future repairs.

This is the only mechanic I will ever take my car to. After another «mechanic» didn’t tell me that my brakes were going bad, then 2 days after my oil change with him they started rubbing metal on metal, then this guy quoted me an outrageous price to fix it. No way was I going to him! I went up to Dave in Golden and he fixed my brakes for a whole lot cheaper and I know I can trust him and his team. He even showed me my brakes that he replaced and explained to me why it should have been caught earlier by the «other guy». His prices are reasonable and you always can trust that he will do a good job.

I can tell that the folks working here are honest. Last week, my car was shaking at high speeds, and I called Dave to make an appointment. Rather than taking my car in and charging me for some diagnostics (or worse, being dishonest), over the phone he narrowed my issue down to something tire related, and sent me to Walt’s Tires (across the street – another honest, helpful guy). That fixed the shaking issue. Then, a few days later, my ‘check engine soon’ light came on. I brought my car in and Justin ran some tests, decided that it was a false alarm, and didn’t charge.

This mechanic is close to our home, and any time that we have had car trouble we couldn’t fix ourselves, Dave has always been fair and honest. He and his employees are knowledgeable and good honest workers. They have never overcharged us and have always been extremely reasonably priced. I highly recommend them to anyone!
